NFL 2024 Season

I've watched the Superbowl a second time now and something really stands out: The Chiefs' offensive play calling in the first half makes no sense.

Why, when facing one of the two or three best pass rush units in the NFL, would you put your banged-up OL under immense pressure by dropping back to pass almost every time you have the ball?

Why not run the ball with Pacheco and Hunt? Give your OL the chance to play to it's strengths, and in doing so eliminate the risk of sacks and interceptions?

The Chiefs ran the ball on maybe four plays total in the first half. This gave the strongest part of the Eagles D way too many chances to win the game.

Madness.

EDIT: there was another thing that stood out. The refs penalising the Eagles long snapper every time the Eagles kicked a field goal, and the crowd calling the refs out for it.
 
you cannot name a Super bowl where a QB had to play wth a line like that

Brady in his 3 losses in the Super Bowl certainly didnt.
Hakeem Adeniji, Isaiah Prince, Quinton Spain, Trey Hopkins, Jonah Williams.

Against a pass rush that included Aaron Donald and Von Miller.

Four of the guys on the Chiefs OL from Sunday are miles ahead of Spain, Adeniji, Prince and Hopkins.
 
Looking back on the Chiefs season now it’s a miracle they got to the Super Bowl considering the adversity they faced

First the biggest acquisition in the off season, Hollywood Brown, goes down on his first catch of the year and he's essentially out for the whole season. Then they lose Rice in an early injury. Pacheco fractures a bone in his leg. They get Kareem Hunt off the sofa and immedietly ask him to run twenty times a game.

Worthy, a rookie receiver who's all of 170 lbs maybe, becomes the main target. Kelce starts to look old and slow.

Kingsley can't cut it, Morris can't cut it, Humphrey lasted all of one half against the Chargers. So they slide a short armed guard Joe Thuney to Mahomes blind side, and he holds up during both AFC playoff games.

It really is amazing that they only lost one real game in the regular season.

As I've thought about it over the past 48 hours, I think maybe that Buffalo game drained all the fight club out of the Chiefs. Nobody expected them to handle Buffalo again, and yet they did what they always do; send Josh Allen home.

It was probably the worst version of the Chiefs in the last 7 years, and look where we got.

Whatever they do in the offseason, they need to be aggressive. Which I think they will be. We saw what happened after the debacle with Sutton after 18 and they brought in Spags. They rebuilt the OL after the Super Bowl 55 disaster.

I think they will wn the AFC again next year.

nice of you to finally admit you've been completely delusional all season, only took an absolute beat down for it to happen.

Absolutely agree it was a miracle. Undeniable.

It's there in black and white, for everyone to see.

Let's see what they do in free agency and the draft first before predicting conference winners for 11 months time.

Their offensive line is really not good at all and needs a lot of work. It's all fixable but it's not going to be straightforward either
