And I for one haven’t made the slightest mention of Nagy or Embree and I don’t think you’ll find many others in this thread here who have challenged you doing that either.
But people are trying to find blame. It’s what fans do. Butker misses some FGs? Blame him. Then blame Toub. Then blame Townsend. It’s the nature of the beast.
And finally, Veach made a mistake? Seriously? The season isn’t even ****ing over and we control our own destiny for the 1 seed. His process was fine. The results are the results.
If we lose in the playoffs and it’s clearly on the WRs, then by all means, then maybe you can justifiably make that statement.

It's the rush to blame and condemn.
If, after the first game of the season, you were posting what would become a mega thread that -These WR's SUCK and that Veach made a huge mistake, then you were way, way premature.
If, after the Eagles game, you wanted to say- Man, this does not look good, I don't blame you. Hell, nobody was more on board with this plan than me, and I was feeling pretty lousy about where things stood.
Now, after the Raiders game, if you're feeling more optimistic, I think that's entirely reasonable. Your young players are SUPPOSED to get better. Bummer that Moore doesn't really seem to have done so. So it's to be Rice. Okay.
He won't have 100 yards EVERY game, but he's shown he's now capable.
Veach's task every season is to put a championship caliber roster together. He's done it every year, and in different ways. This year he's put a hell of a defense together to lean on while the young WR corps found it's way. KC controls it's own destiny for the #1 seed. The overall plan is working.
Any declaration of failure is still very, very premature.
