I think everyone, including Andy, was not ready to play yesterday.
I'm not going to put too much blame on Mahomes being sick, although he clearly was not himself.
I don't understand the play calling. I don't understand how they've decided to use Toney. I don't know why they just won't line up and pound Pacheco behind Thuney, Creed, and Smith when they need one or two yards. There's way too much cutesy shit. These are ongoing issues-not just this week, although perhaps it's for the best that it came back to bite them now.
I think it's time to bench Moore. He just doesn't have it.
I think if Toney can't actually play WR, then he's WR6, because Hardman is a better gadget player. I don't think this is actually the case, though, based on last season. I don't understand what's going on here.
And I'll say this: it's possible that they miss Bienemy. All reports are that he was extremely detail oriented and a hard-ass. They sure don't look very detail oriented, do they? I don't think Nagy's calling the plays, but maybe he's just a little too buddy-buddy with them. I'm just speculating.
I reject the notion that there's no talent here, but it's time to make the big adjustments in playing time (and practice time) away from Moore and to Rice. It's time to stop this nonsense they've been doing with Toney. It's been 8 weeks. If he's still not ready to play what the hell? Watson is better at MVS things than MVS is at this point.
It's time for some back-to-basics.
Veach took 4 swings, looks like Moore is a dud. Looks like Ross is a 'guess we'll never know'. Rice is a hit, and I think sometimes tries to do too much and has focus drops, but he's clearly a talent. I don't know what the hell they're doing with Toney, it makes no sense but it needs to stop. How about they have him actually run routes?
