Two years ago it was all the WRs fault. This year it was blame the LT, even though Wanya played at least as well as Donovan Smith did the previous year.
I have no desire to watch any of that SB from last night, so I can't really say who ****ed up the most. How much did Mahomes hold onto the ball too long? Did he miss wide open WRs? Was the OL the sole reason for the slaughter?
Like I said, I have no desire to watch any of that game, but I will eventually and then I'll know who to blame.

Ultimately it was ALL of that.
But in a game of that magnitude, the one thing you should be able to take off the table is your all-universe QB missing plays that could stabilize your offense early in the game.
The 2nd half was just such a write-off. It really didn't matter at that point and barely resembled an actual football game.
But in that first half, Mahomes didn't do enough to help his OL. His OL didn't do enough to make things easier for Mahomes and the receivers weren't doing enough to get open.
A LOT of credit goes to the Eagles defense, to be honest. Their DBs played well and their DL played with their intensity turned up to 11. At that point there was one guy on the field for us who could pull a couple of plays from the fire and give everything a chance to stabilize.
And he didn't do that.
In the end, we got outplayed. That's really all there is to it. Their best plays were better than our best plays. Our worst plays were more catastrophic than their worst plays. That's why it's so hard to point to any specific cause - the entire offense just failed across the board.
