Blitzkrieg is a short term doctrine that relies on speed and surprise. Once the surprise is gone, it's not very effective. It also has failings with fortifications and built up areas. Later in the war, surprise wasn't an option strategically (except for the Allied bungle in the Ardennes) and not very often operationally.
