Maybe without Juju we don’t convert as much and don’t keep long drives going.
And everything I am saying is a generalization. Some teams did get aggressive but had poor coverage guys, didn’t account properly for Mahomes buying time, etc.
But the adjustments were made again and we have had no counterpunch so far.

I 100% agree with all of this. We finally have found our agreement, my friend.
The team hasn’t figured out a counterpunch with this group of WRs. That certainly falls on the group itself, but you can’t deny that Mahomes and Reid also feel out of sync. And that effective counterpunch makes Reid’s playcalling and Mahomes’ execution an absolute necessity.
We’d be better with JuJu, but we’d still be performing in subpar fashion.
Let’s see what we come out of the bye week with. If we sputter against the Eagles and then the Raiders, there are problems that just aren’t going to be corrected this season. And that’s fine and we’ll see how Veach addresses the off-season.
