But you cant go off about us being a bad team and then say the good teams do it so we should also. I also disagree about coming from behind. You do whatever gets you points. If grinding it out gives you points but trying to be New England doesnt, then dont try to be New England and go ahead and grind it out. Especially when your non-elite QB was having a bad night. As I said earlier, if KC was on, the play calls would be pretty good. But when he was struggling all night, try something else.

The fact is we went from a power running game the first two weeks to doing a run game out of pass sets. And did it on a short week to boot.
