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?

If he would help jumpstart this offense, then it would be worth it. But I am more concerned with left tackle.
Sure, he'd be a great addition but we'd be a bit crowded on offense and I doubt he'd want to get lost in the shuffle, but maybe he's hungry for a ring at this point and we sign him to replace Brown. Would be fun, but feels highly unlikely. [Reply]
There's nothing wrong with Travis Kelce. Teams are committing to taking him away, and Mahomes, now a veteran, isn't trying to force the football so his friends can get their numbers.
Rashee Rice has become an unstoppable killing machine with the attention put on Kelce.
By mid season, these deep misses short, behind, to Worthy will be ironed out as they build game reps together.
One actual problem offensively is the dreaded 3rd and 1 and I've put on my little red shoes and clicked my heels together to do my part to assist shitty washed Kareem Hunt in being the gallant knight to ride in on his noble steed and slay the 3rd and 1 dragon for Andy that the Hunt ball washers believe he's going to be.
Hey, it could happen. Priest was 30 when we got him.
Once the immediate pressure from the LT position is resolved, you'll see the offense really start to pick up.
If Kelce can stay patient, and contribute to team wins w8thout flashy numbers, and kind of be that " break glass in case of emergency" asset, he should have plenty of juice for the post season run.
We're playing the Chargers this week so you know he will catch the game winning td in this one. I think it's in his contract that he is to rip the soul of the Chargers out through their asshole at least once per season. [Reply]
It’s proly as simple as getting worthy up to speed. If worthy is incorporated the same as late season rice last year then we’re proly firing away. [Reply]

When/IF Patrick gets better protection from LT and RB and he starts hitting Worthy on those deep shots things are gonna look a lot better. [Reply]
