Brett Veach, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, whoever... aren't a religion. I don't have to have blind faith that every single move they make, or every single play that take is the correct move. We are afforded that as fans to be critics of the team we root for.

No, but you're having a difficult time in this thread - one might say even impossible - acknowledging that this WR group is very, very similar to the one that was adequate enough to be part of the best offense in the NFL last season and the most efficient in recent memory.
If this were the first game last year where the offense had no track record of success, I'd fully understand any hand-wringing. But if you're already very concerned, then 1/ you feel the WRs have clear room to regress despite the fact that players their age typically do the opposite; 2/ you feel JuJu was so important that the addition of Rice and James is immaterial; 3/ you feel the NFL will catch up to the Chiefs and Mahomes; or 4/ you're just responding with a lack of logic and being hyper-reactionary based on the sample size of 1 game without Kelce.
I'm penciling you down for 4. That's all.
A lot of people here dramatically overrated this group in the preseason and now there's some massive overcorrection. At this point in their careers, the WRs are fairly average and a product of the greatness of Mahomes (and Kelce to a lesser degree). But that doesn't mean they're not ascending as a whole, can't improve over the course of the season, and can't play a major role in winning another SB.
(And no, you clearly still don't understand what I was getting at with respect to JuJu and MVS.)
