Top 3 reasons why the Chiefs lost today

**Coach** · 01-09-2011, 04:23 PM

Top 3 reasons why the Chiefs lost today:
1. Charlie Weiss - glad he's gone. his playcalling all year heas been headscratching at best. Good riddance Charlie! You run Jamaal CHarles one time in the 2nd half???? Once???

2. Turnovers - You don't win any game when you turn the ball over 5 times. Let along playoff games against Baltimore.

3. Wide Receivers. Only 2 pass attempts to the WR's all day. 2????, that's got to be a record. They got no seperation all day. #1 offseason need is WR.

It would be easy to blame this loss on the defense, but the Chiefs offense just kept putting the defense in so many bad situations.

What are your top 3 reasons that are KC(not Baltimore) related?

All I can say about this is

Yeah Reggie Wayne sucks.

Revis is an excellent corner. Bowe constantly had a corner and over the top safety help on him, just like he did against Denver in game 2. The fact that he commands that type of coverage in order to shut him down speaks loudly to his abilities. It's on the other WR's that they couldn't get open with Bowe getting so much attention.

Bowe is a number 1 WR. PERIOD! The problem is, there's no other threat on the field with him. Who is on the other side of him, Copper? Chambers? LOL.

Lets get real. Teams double up on Bowe and any decent CB can handle the other side of the field by himself. Bowe needs another WR on the other side to be somewhat of a threat just like any other top WR in the league.

I did'nt say Reggie Wayne sucks, but he does'nt have a variety of routes he runs. He is like Randy Moss, you don't have to worry about drag, posts, etc. He is a north/south route runner only. Get a capable CB with speed and Reggie is'nt having a blowout game.

Exactly, we need another WR who can win in single coverage situations. If Bowe gets doubled then the other WR needs to be able to win his matchup. The best thing that could happen to Bowe is us getting another really good WR. The best thing that could happen to Jamaal Charles is us getting another solid WR. The best thing that could happen to Matt Cassel is getting another good WR.

The need we have is for a Mike Wallace/Desean Jackson type...It's a lot to ask for, but when you have a guy that can stretch the field, he's likely going to command deep safety help, meaning Bowe is in single coverage on the opposite side. If they try to double both of them with safeties, the middle of the field is open for deep TE routes.

Getting that guy that can stretch the field is going to do huge things for this offense. For one, we get some more big plays. When the big play is shut down, it's up to Bowe to step up in single coverage. It sounds simple, but it's not too far off from that gameplan. Teams will scheme to focus on one and shut them down, but it's about impossible to scheme to shutdown two solid WR's unless you have a couple of solid corners like the Jets.

Since his 4th season in the NFL he's had at least 75 plus receptions and over 1000 yards EVERY season. And you know what helps that? Is for the most part he had Marvin Harrison on the other side of him.

Moss and Wayne are 2 completely different WRs. Wayne has way more to offer than 1 route.

Either way, the point is, EVERY #1 WR has an above average WR on the other side of him to keep from being double teamed all game. Bowe does not have that.

Quoted for truth.

Well I thought what a #1 WR does is make average WR's better because the #1 WR is such a threat so that leaves the average WR (which is a #2 WR) on one on one coverage and also sometimes forgotten about because the defense is so worried about the number 1 WR. Not the number 2 WR make the number 1 WR better. I'm not saying that we don't need more help but I think Bowe would benefit if he was the number 2 WR.

Eh, I think the point everyone is saying is that this team would be better served if we had more wide receiver talent in general. It doesn't matter who is number one or number two as long as one of the two have the ability to make plays.

We have one receiver and a tight end that are capable of making plays, from there, we have a bunch of below average guys.
