How much different would this offense look had Brown not gone down on the very first play of preseason?
How would this offense look if he hit those long throws to Worthy?
I am not here to absolve Reid of any of the blame as he rightly deserves some. But you make it seem like he’s all to blame for everything and is only being “saved” by Mahomes.
You don’t seem to think Patrick plays any part of the struggles of this team. Close game? Stupid Andy being bailed out by #15. Great offensive game? No credit to Reid as it’s only because of Mahomes.
Mahomes is 29 and is in his 7th season. To believe that he has no say in the offense or the playcalls is silly and driven by your stubborn “anti-Andy” bias.

All this is true. Anyone who has been watching the games KNOWS that Mahomes, as a passer, is well below expectations based on previous seasons. Yes, he is under a lot of pressure because his pass protection is broken. But he also creates some of that by not getting throws out on time, or just not seeing the open man. And the deep ball misses are a real kick in the dick. We all hope he can make improvements, as he did in last year's post season. That needs to happen for the Threepeat.
