You can pin that on mahomes if you want that he needs to trust them more. But it is impossible to deny it is by a mile the biggest obstacle with our pass offense right now

Mahomes needs to run the ****ing offense. He's even said as much. If there are open guys, throw the ****ing ball. Yeah, Kelce can usually get open eventually, but run the damned play.
If I can go find 10 open WR's on failed plays, that's a huge difference in efficiency. I haven't looked at the all-22, but just from the broadcast I saw four or 5 and the Twitter post showed Ross with a step and a half down the right sideline. Now you can argue that by nature that's a low percentage play if you want, but if it's long bombs you want, there was one gift-wrapped.
Of course the WR's need to play better; they're young, they're learning, and if you can't see an improvement at all from week one you're blind.
Mahomes isn't playing up to his standards either, and last night particularly the play-calling did them no favors. We marched up and down the field and just stuck our collective heads right up our own asses in the red zone. Truly mind boggling.
