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]
I think we all know andy is largely responsible for EBs success, and if that true he’s also accountable for nagys shortcomings. I still think it’s more a talent issue. [Reply]
Said it in another thread. That was one of the worst opening scripts I've ever seen out of the Reid Chiefs. At the very least 3 plays went for significant negative yardage and a whole bunch barely moved the LOS. [Reply]
I said this in the game thread, but I think the inside pitch has run its course. The Chargers snuffed it out last week and it took Kelce being a force of nature to hold onto the ball.
I hate it as a third down call near the goal line, especially if Andy is not going to go for it on 4th and short. [Reply]

The check downs are because the wrs are complete ass. And Pat is not himself this year and that because the receivers are complete ass. [Reply]

Yeah the constant rotation of players has to make play calling harder. Don't know why they just can't pick their best 3 and make it work with them. [Reply]
