I think we can all agree the offense has not been up to par this season.
At this point, there's only so much we can do about it. Our best WR got injured and is missing the season, our best RB is out until December, our LT situation is messy and our stud TE is looking his age.
So, is this who we are now? Is 30 points a game a distant memory?
What can be done?

Mahomes is realizing that Kelce, in spite of teams scheming to take him away as a viable receiving option every week, just isn't that uber-dependable security blanket he has been every year of Mahomes' career. Because of it, he's now trying to adjust on the fly in real time on the field, and it's not been easy for him so far.
I say give Noah Gray a few more of those amoeba route options Kelce has been so great at and see where that takes them. [Reply]

This is a tough offense to learn….and there is a reason the offense has gotten better as the seasons go on(for rookies) and as worthy grows, this offense will open up.
I'm curious why Worthy came to a complete stop on that one route over the middle where Mahomes led him perfectly. It didn't look like he was about to get blasted, and that play likely would have produced a huge gain. I assume maybe that he thought the ball was going to the other receiver a few yards beyond him? But man, if you can catch a ball, just catch it and let god sort out the rest. [Reply]

He thought the ball was going to Rice. Pretty sure he said the same on the sideline with my poor lip reading skills. [Reply]
