This pass, pass, pass philosophy, when the run game was working did not make sense to me. Sure we were behind some in the game, but to abandon it completely was rediculous. On another note, Matt Cassel is not a very good QB. He is among the worst in the league when he scrambles. His scrambling percentage has got to be below the average in this league. I was seriously thinking about Brodie Croyle coming in & getting a spark going. He is a pure passer & fearless. Cassel is not worth what he is getting paid IMO. Just some thoughts. Agreed Some Guy,

Charles got the ball early on in the first of the two final drives. What happens? He runs for a 10 yard gain, then a 5 yard gain. The rest of the game the Jaguars all of a sudden started respecting the running game a little, and the passing game opened up! This isn't rocket science; when there's a threat in the backfield, it opens up the passing game. Smith played all right, but Charles was exceptional every time he got the ball, which was WAY too little. He had a few nice catches to go along with nice running in limited opportunities. Charles showed on a few plays that he can indeed run the ball between the tackles. He played excellent, far better than LJ has all season and with fewer carries. We need to get him the ball, because once he got going a little, the whole offense got going! Also, I hope Allerman stays in Goff's spot for good. He wasn't great, but he wasn't God-awful, making him an upgrade over Goff. But most importantly: give Charles the ball!!!! He earned it!!!!

It has been a problem with bringing in a new receiver, they play well the first week then disappear after that. I think having a proven receiver opposite Bowe, along with Long and we may be respectable at receiver. We also need to get more carries out of the running backs early in the game to get the defense off the field. I believe we should have a shot at winning next week at Oakland. Go Chiefs!

UH Bob you mention the running game had only 60 yard that was because Haley didn't commit to the run. Both Kolby and Charles had 4 and 6 ypc. But neither guy got over double digit carries. At what point are you and the rest of the kc media are going to start calling this guy out as a play caller. We should've been going to Bowe and Chambers early in the game.
