We're 10 games in. Expecting anything to just kinda fix itself may be a bridge too far. This may be something that needs a hard re-set; another example of how hard it is to go back to back in this league.
When you hit a bad drive or two, you figure "okay, back 9 will be fine..."
When you hit 6 of them and then another on 10, you just have to put your driver in your bag and hope that when you play your next round, you've gotten past your shanks. Having a hot dog and a beer won't fix it - you just need that hard re-set, get away from the course, come back with a clear head a different day.
This is starting to feel like we need a hard re-set.

Interception aside, this felt like the best Mahomes has played to me since… the first half of the Chargers game. Simply because unlike the last three games, he was throwing good balls and giving our receivers the opportunity to win the game.
And they repeatedly didn’t. The Watson play you mentioned also might shed light on why Patrick has had such a lack of confidence slinging it down the field this year. I am just not convinced any receivers in this offense can be relied upon to be on their spots on time right now. You mention Brady as an example, but he at least knew Edelman and Amendola would always be where they needed to be, I’m not convinced Patrick has that confidence in any receiver and the misses yesterday seemed to suggest Patrick is right to have that uncertainty with his pass catchers.
But hey, that deep ball to MVS was the best deep ball I’ve seen Patrick throw since… the first part of 2022 maybe? Something to build on. Yesterday showed me 2022 Patrick is there, but if Watson is getting 11 targets in this offense, then the majority of the problem has come from whoever rubber stamped this roster.
