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]

Nagy already went to a poverty franchise of chaos. Doubt he’s gonna want to do it again
But I hope he does. I think he knows he's not very good, and can have this gig as long as he wants it and it's safe. So I bet he stays. [Reply]
I don’t think Nagy is actually calling the plays during the game. I think it’s more likely that Andy calls the plays on the field during the game. After watching a podcast with McVay Last season, it came out that during Liam Cohen’s last stint with the Rams when he was the offensive coordinator, his actual responsibilities were to come up with the game plan and do the install, but it was actually McVay that called the plays during the game.
And based on what we’ve been seeing on the field for a few years now between Peterson, bienemy, and now Nagy, this seems to be more likely than anything else. Just my two cents. [Reply]
