    Three Downs to Total 10 Yards or Three Tries to Get 10 yards

    The run for 3 to 5 yards on second and ten seems to only be understood by those who have played/coached. The main reason (although there are others) is that in the passing game, the more of a QB drop you have to take (5 or 7 step vs a 3 step) vs a defense that is quite sure you are passing creates more risk, allowing the defense to "Tee off" and get home on your QB. So while its no guarantee of success/failure, it allows for additional risk. This is the "staying ahead of the sticks" concept.

     

    Understood. But you're essentially calling a sacrifice bunt (running a play unlikely to convert a first down) in favor of setting up a 3rd-and-5 (which teams convert 44% of the time.)

    I think most teams utilize the run (especially 1st down runs) way too often on their own side of the field when the most important thing should be third-down avoidance. 3rd-and-2 from your own 30-yard line is a "favorable" position to be in, but you're a stuffed run or a batted down pass away from punting. There's almost zero third-down situations in your own territory that I would desire, and if you have multiple 3rd-and-shorts in your own territory on a single drive, the odds of multiple conversions is less than 50-50. Yet most coaches live for such opportunities. 

     

    Once you cross the 50, the run game - especially first-down runs - should become far more prominent. You now have four downs to work with instead of 3. No modern team with a good offense like Buffalo is going to punt on 4th-and-3 from the opponent 41 these days.

    The chiefs might have their most balanced team since Mahomes has been there. It’s not on him to carry them every game. They lack explosion though.  Won’t be shocked if they make a big move for a receiver because minus maybe Rice, it’s a group that doesn’t scare anyone. 

     

    the andy reid offense takes forever to learn. even their second year players like toney and moore still seem incredibly lost. i don't think the chiefs will find any receiver who can make a major impact. maybe as a package player, but not an every down wide receiver.

    I don't concur..

     

    I've watched enough of the Chiefs this season. They'll coast because of their easy schedule - but that is not a championship team this year..

     

    their defense is actually a real defense, unlike previous chiefs teams. it's an actual top 10 defense with top 5 potential. They get Omenihu back next week.

    There is something wrong with Patrick. This reminds me so much of Josh last season during his slump. Just looks like a mess like Josh did.

    have you seen his receivers? they never separate. ever. it's kelce or nothing.

    Chiefs are so overrated this year. 

    they played like crap early the last few years. last year they had a few very lucky early season wins (vs chargers and raiders), lost to the awful colts.

     

    year before that they started 3-4 and then almost lost at home to the giants on MNF.
