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]

MVS, Skyy and Rice cost us 13 points, at least. Hardman gave 7 to the other team.
This, we have godawful WRs. That’s the one and only problem with this offense, and that makes it really hard to, you know, throw the football and score points. [Reply]

That's what I was saying - this is as much as Mahomes has looked like Alex Smith yet. The Denver defense is ass, yet our offensive playcalls played right into their strengths. Over and over. [Reply]
