I think we can all agree that our offense has been "off" all season, minus the Bears and Chargers games. Mahomes hasn't looked himself by and large, and that could well be because of the talent around him, but watching the plays unfold just makes me wonder why some of the plays are being called in the first place.
Today was an abomination on many fronts with the offense but it sure looked a good deal like an Alex Smith game plan, minus Mahomes' patented making something out of nothing scramble drill passes. The run plays were predictable and getting nothing, but they kept forcing them. We threw the ball laterally as much as horizontally (seemingly), and the plays themselves just look, well, off.
Is it Nagy, is it Mahomes, is it the talent outside of Mahomes and Kelce, or is it a combination of all that? Or was this game just an outlier and our annual piss down our legs game as has been suggested, and I'm just OMG-ing for no good reason?
Something FEELS different than in the past so far this season. I would love to put my finger on what it is, precisely. [Reply]

Hopefully Nagy goes to NY or somewhere else and in a few years when Reid hangs it up, the Chiefs look to figure out what's next instead of trying to hold on to what's been.
I would not even entertain talk like this at this time. There will be plenty of time when the time comes. [Reply]

Only bring it up because of the Nagy rumor and how I'm worried he's the HCotF. You're right, though, plenty of time to worry about sucession after a couple more SBs. [Reply]

That any of us ever knew.
All I know is that since Nagy has officially been the "Offensive Coordinator" our offensive numbers are down, scoring is down, etc. The only thing that didn't change was the winning, and at this point I am certain that Mahomes deserves 70% of the credit for that, and Reid gets the other 30%.
Mahomes and the Chiefs are winning in spite of Nagy and not because of Nagy, and I am 100% positive about that.
Nagy does nothing to offset opponents pass rush; no screens, no QB rollouts, no designed pass plays to our RBs in the flat, etc [Reply]

Offense being poopy the last 2 years coinciding with Nagy being elevated to OC. As is tradition, Andy's OC is ChiefsPlanet's Scapegoat. [Reply]
