I am not ignoring the 2 red zone drops vs philly. You say it's not about drops and yet keep driving this narrative to just clean up a few mistakes and we're golden. No. We were stuck against philly the second half. We missed opportunities in the red zone but also had a ton missed given how our defense gifted our offense field position and frequent possessions all night.
It isn't just about drops and execution. We found a way to get the ball more to our plaumakers who aren't part of the execution problem in ways we couldn't in prior weeks even when we forced ourself to. Kelce has been blanketed in many games and it's not because he can't execute. Mahomes has been stuck often and it isn't because of this overblown narrative that he's just refuses to check down. Rashee was often well covered last week but this week found opportunities against a good defense.

Don't think this was overblown, particularly on some 3rd and Mediums and he would throw deep. I think Andy forced some short easy gain plays on Mahomes so he understands that it can be successful. Everyone executed better on Sunday, from catching to blocking, to running after the catch. It will be interesting to see how we do Sunday night with Moore/Ritchie in the Slot and Rice more outside.
