Get that pressure all game and we win.
Can't just play good 1 half...
You think it's just that simple just to decide to pressure that kid all game long and be effective? First, Cinci. was damn near ranked near the bottom in DL play over the season when it came to sacks, hits, efficiency, etc.,. Secondly, it's not their strategy the entire game as it was to contain him in the pocket and make him make throws from there. Third,go watch the film as there were at least 2 blitzes that got blown up in the 1st half. Fourth, KC OL is as good as it gets. They got 2 ALL PRO OL and those guys don't give up squat. Lou made adjustments as he always does and that D played great football the last half.
That game was lost by the offense as they never got a rhythm, had some poor calls/execution as if they had never been in that position before and had absolutely terrible time management at the end of the 1st half when they had to settle for a FG. Should have come down there after the completion to Tee at the 5 and spiked the damn ball to stop the clock and get everybody on the same page. Less than 10 seconds to go and with no TO's and it's far more important to run 2 plays with everybody on the same page than it is to go up there and rush the next play as they only had one more snap before the FG anyways as the clock almost hit zero.
