Alex struggled when his pass attempts went up 35+ and it showed. So I'm not discounting what you are saying but spite that he listens to his men because they say Andy listens to his players and coaches. Still no excuse for second half of the Bengals game and I put that on Andy Reid feet.
However this offensive line is built to bulldoze defenses and we are a pass offense. O Brown is a monster to block around the edge but his feet need work for pass protection. Running up the middle with Thuney Creed and Trey Smith holy **** we can carry 10+ yards a carry if teams don't start stacking the box and even then it will be 5 yards a carry even with CEH because he is a bulldog. Just needs stay healthy (backs are most subtle to injuries)
I do believe though no matter what the other teams are trying to do with defense with Mack and who ever blitz all you want. Mahomes torches the blitz. This offseason we are learning how to beat dropping 7 or 8 in the box that is going make Mahomes more cerebral because he's seen it now. Every year they try to slow down and stop Mahomes. Bengals had our number in the second half because you are exactly right about Andy throwing the ball and they banked on it. I am no way discouraged because we can learn if an old dog can learn from mistakes and make us a balanced offense nothing can stop this team except shooting an uzi in our foot.
Maybe I'm too optimistic for this group a bunch of Kansas City bundle of stickss

If it hadn't have already happened 3 times in the playoffs with 3 different OCs, 2 different DCs and 2 different QBs (one of whom is already in the discussion for best ever), then I'd be a lot more hopeful that the situation could be corrected.
