Mahomes, the coaches and the players are mid season and we are seeing some improvement and I expect that to continue. This has been any rational persons stance since the beginning.

"Nobody" is being thrown under the bus except that people are saying nagy sucks and are claiming WRs are flying open everywhere but mahomes is missing them. Of course these guys need to be better but a lot of it is casually deflecting blame. Obviously there is more going on than just replacing juju. Defenses adapted to us and arguably we doubled down on the same strategy which is to have WRs create after they get the ball. When we ignore that mahomes and Reid are putting round pegs in square holes and insist that our WRs are fine that is shouldering all the blame on everyone else. If we insist that last year is the baseline then the onku explanation is that mahomes and Reid are making it worse. So yeah some of us think we should just call a spade a spade to just admit whar we have in the wr room and accept that in the short term we just need to ask our other guys to do a little extra and grind through it
