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?

It's a ****ing fact that ever since that visor wearing douchelord took over as OC the offense has stagnated in nearly every metric imaginable. We see the same concepts spammed ad nauseum that got his ass ran out of Chicago weekly at this point.
Bieniemy seems to be a gigantic ****ing asshole that couldn't manage the equivalent of a McDonald's franchise when handed the keys to his own operation, and he STILL brought more to the staff than this sycophant ever has or will.
Nagy is progressively neutering Mahomes. :-) [Reply]

The ENTIRE ****ing stretch since Nagy got here has been a struggle.

Patrick’s fundamentals were terrible last night (hey, remember he said it first).
The interception was just atrocious. He had a little pressure in his face but he threw it off his back foot and just lobbed it up for grabs. It’s a throw you might see him make in training camp. You certainly don’t expect a player of his caliber to be doing that during a game.
Lazy throws have been a theme for him this year. He’s letting his footwork get sloppy again, and it’s costing him accuracy. The deep shot to Worthy for instance should have been a touchdown, but he didn’t step into it and woefully underthrew it.
I’m never going to accuse him of mailing it in, but he needs to be more focused and sharp. He knows it. He said as much at the press conference.
Point being, yes the receiving corp is marginal again. Yes the o-line has holes. Yes defenses are playing him to keep everything underneath.
But he’s leaving A-LOT on the field. He needs to be better and I trust he will.
I don’t think he’s mailing it in. He’s said many times that he wants to get back to having fun out there. And I think we can see that take what he’s given… we more than make it work, but it’s a frustrating approach for him especially when mistakes are made to kill long drives.
Veach and Reid are two of the best at dialing in on what’s next. They did it two years ago when they got catch and run guys to beat these 2-high looks and arguably got a little burned by it last year by pushing that same approach. This year, their emphasis was clearly on speed speed speed. I think they had very big plans in mind with Hollywood but we had to abandon them when he got hurt because for now we just don’t have a substitute. We need to let mahomes cook but we just don’t have the weapons to do even if we tried. We still are a better passing game when WRs create AFTER the catch than before the catch. [Reply]
Please, please, PLEASE can we stop pushing this narrative that Hollywood Brown was the key cog that's totally dismantled the game plan?
My God, he had, what, a week total in actual contact practices before fucking his shoulder on the first snap in preseason?
If the plan to attack down field has been abandoned because a broke dick one year flyer got predictably injured, the plan fucking sucked to start. [Reply]

And we DO have a suitable replacement on the roster right now. Hardman is dumb as fuck and shouldn't be trusted with anything but the most basic concepts, but he can damn sure run in a straight line and track a deep ball relatively well compared to the other receivers currently rostered. [Reply]

The receiving corps isn't marginal if you actually utilize them fully.
Worthy only played in 50% of the snaps. And on the snaps he does get, he's a decoy on about 75% of them. Put him on the field and actually have him run routes.
There's also no reason Skyy should get 20% of snaps. He's a net negative.
They need to play Rice 85-90% of snaps, Worthy 80% of snaps and let the rest split the other snaps. There are too many different packages and too many players running in and out. Let Patrick develop a chemistry with Rice and Worthy that extends more than 5 yards. [Reply]
Hollywood isn’t Tyreek but he was important and has been missed badly. If you disagree with that then take at look at his replacement who played 20% of the snaps in Atlanta and was absolutely worthless out there.
Honestly have no clue why that guy is on this damn roster [Reply]
