That includes keeping a lb to spy on mahomes and keep him in the pocket.
And with all that our WRs STILL are bad at getting open.
And once again you have to address that even when Watson, Mvs and skyy do get open they’re risky to throw to because they are very subpar at finishing their route and catch. So even if it is true that these guys are good enough to get open we’ve seen time and time again that they’re ineffective even when they’re open. That’s a big problem and undoubtedly why mahomes doesn’t trust these guys

Except they weren't having problems getting open, they were absolutely getting open, they just stopped catching the damned ball.
You've decided on a narrative and aren't looking at it logically.
The Eagles decided they were going to take Kelce away; and for the most part, they did. And the WR's were beating coverage, and doing it consistently. They didn't "let Watson run free", he was beating the coverage (or Andy was using scheme to beat the rules of coverage, same difference) he just dropped several balls. And MVS beat single man coverage for what should have been the winning TD, he just dropped the damned ball.
If they don't drop those balls, the narrative this week is how bad the Eagles' game plan was.
This is how offense is supposed to work; you beat the defense's plan, which was to take away your best weapon. The receivers just dropped the ****ing ball.
