Broncofan Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) One thing I'd expect we'll see from KC's D in the 2H - sending pressure on Lock. KC usually sends a ton of pressure - but they've been playing off coverage, and not sending pressure except on that last 3rd down play, and 1-2 others. Pretty clear they thought they could confuse Lock coverage-wise, which has been pretty much the case - but they didn't account for his running ability. Not taking anything away from Lock's 1H - he got 14 pts with his legs and Sutton's big throw on the 1st drive (and the ST penalty was massive in extending that drive), and then the run game set up the TD in a big way, with 1 big 3rd down conversion out to Patrick. KC is usually really good at adjusting - I'm just surprised they didn't want to send pressure in the 1H, since that's a major weakness Lock has shown. As for the D, they get nothing but respect. Especially the DL, and Jones/Harris. Much respect. Edited January 8, 2022 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This has been an … interesting … first half. The guys are playing hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a better and consistent offense, sure I get it, but by calling time outs, we're leaving time on the board if we cant finish the drive (which we are terrible at doing). If Fangio took those time outs, Mahomes would have had 1.5min and 3 timeouts to get into scoring position. Fair. If I believe in my HC as a defensive genius, I gotta have faith in him as a fallback. This team just doesn’t maximize scoring opportunities ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 But I will say the bigger problem there is you can’t throw 1 yard completions to a smothered WR in that situation. Get chunk yardage or save clock. That’s how great QBs run these drills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Fangio has shown he can put a defensive game plan together to combat the Chiefs. Our offense has always been the "losing" factor when facing KC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish someone else gave him the chance to be HC and we could have gotten him to run our D for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Well, this team is playing hard but unlikely they finish this game with a win unless Lock can consistently make big throws and doesn’t turn the ball over. 6 starters out on defense vs Mahomes is tough.

Not often he gets to flash the breakaway speed that made him look so special at Wisconsin but outside of a few bad fumbles he’s been a dependable and consistent RB here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 2200 yards from scrimmage and 20 TD’s these last two seasons. The process of signing him was flawed in my opinion, but I think it’s easy to argue that it worked out just fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
