Playcalling is not the reason we averaged 4.1 yards per play. There is an elephant in the room this season and it is offensive line play (both LT and RT) and the effect it's had on Mahomes' pocket presence. We are bottom-tier offensively. Run, pass, it doesn't matter -- there are no big plays or easy throws like you see with decent to good offense. Our offense is one of the worst in the league. (If you deny that, you simply don't watch much football. Sorry.)
On the flip side, our D was spectacular today. One of the best performances I can remember. [Reply]
Bro Mahomes is missing lots of "easy throws" I'm sure the OL is in his head but it's getting blatant the amount of yards and points left on the field every week. [Reply]

I agree but how do you forget how to play QB after being the best of all-time? It makes no sense and has to be an offensive line issue in my opinion. [Reply]
Tackles do suck but nobody watching can actually say we should 3 series in any game and ignore running at all. It's stupid when you consider our personnel. [Reply]

I dunno but he has extremely sloppy mechanics right now so there needs to be some kind of accountability. [Reply]

Mahomes has played poorly. There’s no doubt.
But he rarely has a clean pocket and even when he does, forgive the guy for feeling quick pressure - real or imagined - because it’s beyond the norm rather than the exception.
It’s impossible to run a high level offense with this OL play. We’re skating by because Mahomes is Mahomes. [Reply]

It also helps if Worthy not drop those easy throws too [Reply]
The o-line play hasn’t been that much different than previous years. We’ve had issues at LT since Fisher left. We had absolutely nothing at WR last year and Mahomes still looked better than this year.
Eventually, people are just going to have to admit that Mahomes is not playing well this year. It’s really that simple. He’s clearly not putting in the work he used to because he’s exhausted, overextended, and constantly having to play injured. That’s the issue, not the o-line. [Reply]
