3 wins, 9 losses. I don't think any other team has our number like the Giants. Or that we have any other team we just can't game plan for. Even the 2012 win was more about the magic of that season. This season doesn't feel magical, it feels more like plodding improvement. I don't see plodding improvement stopping Eli-Odell, or making KC less turnover prone to the Giants (8 ints to them in 3 games), or massively improving his qbr (39.7, 11!, and 5.5!!).
Also, some of the people who keep calling for the run game just need to stop because it's simply not the answer for this team and this oline. Morris most definitely is off, and Jones is good but fumble prone. CT may be the best answer, but he works best if the passing game works. It amazes me that some on here just keep screaming for it, when it so clearly isn't the panacea for the Redskins woes. We have won, when the passing game has been on. We have lost when the passing game is off. The run has not and is not going to be what turns this team in the right direction.
KC qbr vs W/L
53.4... L
83.4... W
23.2... L
78.7....W
36.0... L

38.2 .. L
all 4 wins, his qbr was over 70. the losses were all less than 60. Even acknowledging the drops against the Pats, if this team had consistent average to good QB play we would be in first place probably by 1 to 2 games.
It's not the run game's fault for inconsistent qb play nor is the run game a solution for inconsistent qb play. It's just not.
