We lost to the Chiefs because of 2 reasons and we need to address those 2 issues because we will undoubtedly face the Chiefs again in the playoffs. The first issue is the O-line and O-line depth wasnt good enough. We struggled against Baltimore and would have lost that game if not for a defensive TD and we struggled against K.C. and didnt have the defense scoring another TD to bail the offense out. O-line and depth need improved. This shouldnt be a question for anybody. Signing Brown was a start but more needs to be done.
The second issue is we were unable to get to Patrick Mahomes and he had way too much time in the pocket to make plays happen. You cant give QBs that much time in the NFL or you are going to pay the price. The defense for all its success does not generate a good enough pass rush. We need another player on the D-line that can get to the QB.
These are the two main issues that need addressed before the season, either through free agency or more likely, the draft. Not having an elite TE or RB wasnt the cause for the loss. It was not enough talent on the O-line and D-line.
