A couple of points.
Juju seemed to catch more downfield passes. It seems like Rice is making most of his catches on screens. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it seems like. JuJu was used differently.
Kelce is a step slower than last year.
MVS and Moore have regressed. It doesn't seem possible, but they not only aren't producing, they are killing the team in times of need with drops and/or poor routes.
The playcalling is reminiscent of the year KC went an entire season without a WR touchdown. For as brilliant as Reid is, there are times this year when it is absolutely baffling how they cant design a few plays a week to get Toney in space on a drag or slant. Not to have a single target to Toney or Watson this past week is criminal.
