Would you rather see what our offense is going to look like in preseason? or

Would you rather see a vanilla offense and keep the good stuff for our regular season?

I personally could care less if we win a game in preseason and keep what we plan to do during the regular season under wraps.

I realize you have to work on some of the plays but showing off too much gives teams that we play early extra footage to game plan off of.

You'll see the base offense all of preseason as far as scheme. You won't see any of the twists that Norv has up his sleeve. I'm ok with that.

I think this is the best bet.  While teams will have all they need by our bye week.  The less information they have is only an advantage to us. 

We might win with our base offense because other teams may be doing the same thing. Winning those games aren't as important as coming out of preseason healthy and ready to go for game 1.

As much as I'd like to hold it under wraps til the regular season, we need to run it against live competition, granted they'll run vanilla defense, but it gives us an idea of how teams will line up and attack our packages

I’d like them to show a little because they’ll need to work on somethings in game situations under a new OC.

Opening up against Dallas doesn’t give us the luxury of sleep walking through the first game like we do almost every year.

We were lucky in 15 (Jax) and 17 (SF) to draw the opponents we did or those games could’ve very easily been different outcomes

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
