Alex Smith and Andy Reid bring Chiefs the bye week blues
By Ryan Tracy
After finishing the first quarter of the 2016 season at 2-2, the Chiefs need time to regroup.
These Chiefs don’t recognize the face in the mirror. Going into the bye week, they are not close to knowing what they are as a team.
Flaws abound on this team that, after 4 games, is still in disarray. The pass rush is nearly non-existent without Justin Houston. the running game has become less effective with the neglect of 3 games running the ball less than 30% of the offensive plays. It doesn’t know if it can win when it has to. After week 1, the team thought they could do anything, fight back form any deficit. After Week 4, they are not sure they can win again. This roller coaster is drastic.
