In what universe is playing a 4-4 against Alabama a good call? All I can think is that KC was convinced we were going to

get pounded on the ground with TT out and overcompensated by bringing a bigger player (the 4th LB) closer to the LOS.

This played right into the hands of Bama's quick strike O--esp Devonte Smith who ran free all night.

I'm not a football coach and maybe I'm off base here, but I just can't get my mind around this. Thoughts?

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here.
