But I think it's mainly the WRs. We just don't have a Diggs or Gabe Davis who have the speed & ability to track & make tough catches down the field & we don't have a Mike Williams that we can just throw it up to to make a tough contested catch down the field.
Now, MVS has definitely been that deep threat guy in GB, but we aren't really using him that way here it seems like. And Hardman is the only other one with the speed to get a step open downfield, but Pat doesn't seem to trust him unless he's open by a few steps.
But yeah, I think it's mostly our scheme plus our WRs and to a certain degree the pass protection this year.
Ngl though I miss seeing Patty launch bombs on go routes and wish we'd atleast try it more. Let MVS go make a play or force a DPI.
Weird having Mahomes bazooka and rarely going deep with it the last season and 5 games...

I don't really think Andy has ever liked Go routes, at least as a Chief. Honestly Mahomes is not very good at the touch on them but he's nails on deep crossing routes. Which is funny because deep crossing routes are a bad QBs biggest fear of ****ing up.
