In the Cowher era it would've been 3-4 yards and cloud of dust. He simply would've tired to wear down the Defensive side of the ball so that by 4th Quarter there would be nothing left in the tank.
Does that mean I want to go back to his overly conservative gameplan? no, but in some cases when you have owned the first half like they did a more brutal form of game as opposed to finesse has it's merits.
just saying today would've been a good day to see us smash it right down the Cheifs throats.
It just doesn't look by either schematics, coaching or personnel that this team can be a dominant run blocking team.
On a side note...do you think the injury to Keamotu may have led to the abandonment of the run game? I believe he is there best run blocker.

They attempted to run the ball against the Chiefs. They did not have much success. They appeared to have more success passing.
Lots of fans complained about things in the Cowher era. Cowher's teams had these kinds of losses too.
I believe the answer for this team is to cut down on the game changing mistakes. They made game changing mistakes on special teams, offense, and defense. They need to clean up those mistakes on the field.
