Yes. I have a hard time believing the 2018 and 19 versions of Mahomes really knew the WR routes and adjustments like he does now. He just let the ball fly, and while I understand he had Tyreek Hill and a prime version of Travis Kelce, and defenses didn't expect the offense, he made throws he doesn't even attempt to now and hadn't had time to build the chemistry he has with Kelce now or Tyreek then.

I'll never be an EB fan, but I think they miss his attitude, not necessarily the X's and O's part. This team has no one now who gets in your face on offense when players keep making these mistakes. I think they've got nothing but players coaches on offense full of Andy Reid lacky's. If Reid wasn't the HC, the coaching staff would be facing an enormous amount of heat on the offensive side.

I hate this offense so bad. When Andy retires, I hope his offense goes with it. I'd love an offense from the Shanahan coaching tree.

Give Mahomes his weapons, and let him work his magic going forward. And by weapons, I don't mean JAG's from other teams rosters like we have been doing.Castoffs from the G-men? 
Get Mahomes some real talent to go with Rice going forward. If we have the 20th rated defense, so be it. |
Yep, and it's a ****ing failure. Veach shoulda paid Hill, signed or traded for an actual #1 WR, and/or should have taken advantage of the best WR drafts in recent memory. Instead, he bargain basement shopped and the offense blows. This team didn't get to 5 AFC championship games, 3 SBs with 2 victories because of the defense. They are trying that now....and it's failing.
