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?
(Andy Reid is lurking in this thread, so make sure you're on your best behavior.) [Reply]
Andy keeps calling a lot of rushing attempts in the red zone, but they seem to gain very little. Need stronger OL blocking on those rushing plays, or Andy should give 50% of those situational plays to the passing game instead of the rushing attack. [Reply]

I guess that BWillie thinks that we should trade our overrated quarterback. Apparently he's just a product of Kelce, Hill and Andy Reid.
Leaving Suamataia on an island against Hendrickson has fucked Pat mentally. He's been completely off kilter since then. Whoever made that decision really fucked up, because now we're in a situation where Pat doesn't trust either guy (rightfully so) and the only vets with any sort of upside available now are broke dick.
Don't understand it. The only time Pat truly looks mortal is when he doesn't have faith in his OL. We've seen it play out numerous times at this point. [Reply]
Hopefully the games yesterday have shattered this stupid fucking narrative that we can only be successful with dink and dunk bullshit. Jayden Daniels absolutely slaughtered the Bengals and he went 10+ yards on nearly half his fucking attempts. [Reply]
The route to getting better on offense this season is probably:
Get better left tackle play (possible)
Incremental improvement from Worthy (likely)
Fewer mistakes from Mahomes (almost certain)
IF you are sure that Kelce is retiring after next season, you could justify a big offensive skill player contract (with a low cap hit next year then increasing once Kelce is off the books) but I doubt a good long term proposition comes about before the deadline and the Chiefs don't need to make dumb short term moves.
On LT, there are no moves there and you can't really pay a good LT so you have to take your lumps and rely on your coaches to develop Kingsley for the long term. [Reply]
Shouldn't be a problem at all. The Chiefs OC job was a springboard to advancement in the NFL until Bieniemy couldn't get a job due to his past, and Nagy won't be changing that any time soon if ever. [Reply]

Also looks mortal in an Alex Smith dink & dunk offense that seems to have arrived with Matt Nagy. [Reply]
