There's a reason we can't run the ball

    We never throw deep passes. We've played 4 games and I do not remember taking shots down the field on ANY plays in ANY games. All opposing defenses do is put pressure on Collins and stack the box, and until we use Kenny Britt who outshines EVERY receiver on the team, and Nate-W's speed to stretch the field, we'll keep seeing 8 man fronts. This team is NOT built to win with KC throwing the ball 30+ times a game. Run the ball, stretch the field with play action, win ball games.

    I dont remember throwing deep last year, fact of the matter is Cj is still breaking nice runs and LW is getting no touches whatsoever, which is an absolute joke, Collins would take no more than 20 dropbacks last year, he had 48 today. Im not sure why we changed our philosophy, but whoever did, made a large mistake

    I remember a deep pass. I also remember Troy Polamalu making a one handed interception on that play too.

    Our O-line is allowing penetration like a porn star. There are big gaps and plenty of blown assignments.

    With our O line playing the way they are, I've felt like we are actually trying to pass too deep down the field. Collins doesn't have time for any route deeper than 5-10 yards.

    I liked the old Dinger strategy of short, high-percentage passes early to get in a rhythm. A heavy dose of the run, and as the game started to progress he'd take selective knock-out shots. But that was before he was abducted by aliens.

    2. CJ also probably lease the NFL in stops for a loss
