That tells me he wasn't able to stretch the ball downfield as much as he'd like because he didn't have time in the pocket. Their WR corps looks solid this year, and Kelce seems to be taking this seriously by slimming down quite a bit. Also, Pacheco and Hunt in the backfield is something they didn't have all of last year. But most importantly, their OL seems to be much improved already, w rookie Josh Simmons from OSU asserting himself at left tackle. For all those close games that KC won last year, maybe they won't need to worry about them occurring so frequently. People seem to be making the mistake that KC is standing still while DEN, LVR, and DEN get better.

I agree with what you are saying .........
KC may not have as many close games, that is possible but look at the years I posted. 8, 9 10,10, and 11 close wins last year.
I agree they could be better this season but they could regress even though they are better. This is quite common actually because it is difficult to get the same luck going their way.
