BigRedBuster Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Chiefs 3rd and short - run up the middle and get stuffed. Wife: “Why didn’t they just do a short pass that’s been successful this whole drive?“ Chiefs 4th and short - short pass for 1st down. Several drives later.

Limited by not doing what got them there in the first place. It helped by penalties not being called and the Ravens hurting themselves with poor discipline(personal foul) penalties. 2 Quote Link to comment

My point is, great coaches agree that sometimes passing on short yardage downs is good strategy. 3 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment

During the regular season Lamar Jackson threw 457 times this season for 3678 yards. Tyler Huntley threw another 37 times for 203 yards. Jackson and Huntley collectively threw 27 TD passes. The Ravens ran the ball 541 times for 2661 yards and 26 TDs. 494 pass attempts and 541 run plays, that's a pretty balanced offense and to say that the run is what got them to the game today ignores their success in the passing game. The Ravens averaged 2.76 more pass plays than running plays per regular season game. 4 Quote Link to comment

My point is that when you only give the running back on your team 8 attempts to run and your starting qb has the same attempts bc of broken plays or direct plays the offense is going to limit themselves in trying to keep the defense guessing. Once Kansas City figured out that Baltimore wasn't going to try to run the ball they blitzed and Lamar couldn't do it by himself and didn't have enough help around him to make plays. Zay Flowers reach for the goal line was another example as to why you don't try to extend while the ball is exposed. Great effort poor execution. I understand the stats you provided but your not going to win much important games in the playoffs if your offense is limited unless your defense can carry the offense which clearly didn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment

Zay Flowers had the ball knocked out as he was being tackled, he didn't try to extend it over the goal line like the last player we talked about. This time it was just a good defensive play that caused the fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment

The first player extended his arms (and the ball) to try to score. The second one extended his whole body while keeping the ball held close. That's the difference as I see it, your mileage may vary.
