The other is that while we can piece together a few instances of missing open guys we also have too many where nobody is open. Or at least his first 2 reads aren’t. When you don’t trust your guys to get open you stare down a read, you bail early, or sometimes you just throw up something dumb.
We need to clean up the mistakes and our offense needs to get guys off the field who aren’t getting open so we can maximize the drives where at least one guy is open. Then give mahomes a few games of stability with the same cast so we’re not changing it every 5 snaps.

The WR's are playing so poorly that not even Mahomes has been able to elevate their play to an acceptable level. But their suckage has negatively affected his play. That's a problem.
