Andy Reid called me, and he asked CP to fix the offense.

I think we can all agree the offense has not been up to par this season.

At this point, there's only so much we can do about it. Our best WR got injured and is missing the season, our best RB is out until December, our LT situation is messy and our stud TE is looking his age.

So, is this who we are now? Is 30 points a game a distant memory?

What can be done?

(Andy Reid is lurking in this thread, so make sure you're on your best behavior.)

One other thing, a couple of seasons ago people were complaining that Pat was hyper focused on Kelce and not seeing the whole field and open receivers. Wonder if he is now doing the same thing but with Rice.

And that's what he was doing last year when he was playing poorly.

The great "THERE'S NOBODY OPEN" Wars of 2023 redux.

When we'd point out that on about 2/3 of the 'nobody open' plays, there were guys there with windows that Mahomes often fits the ball into but he just didn't want to risk the turnover.

That's a makeable window. For just about any QB, let alone Mahomes.

Maybe he's simply playing that risk-averse football he was playing for the middle 1/3 of last season. And shit, after that int in the red zone and some of the other 'oopsies' we've seen from him this year, maybe that's smart.

If you're not sharp, don't risk losing the game. Discretion is the better part of valor sometimes.

It turned out to be the case yesterday.

Put it down and away from him - that's a spot Rice can get the ball and a trail DB can't without committing a penalty. Rice made that very catch to convert a 1st down earlier in the game.

We know Rashee can go down and get that ball.

I think he just wasn't feeling it. He wasn't confident in his ability to hit that window so he didn't make the throw.

Best guess I've got.

Falcons lost because they went for it on 4th down instead of kicking FGs. The league is different now, being boring and risk averse is maybe the smart thing for now

[Hammock Parties]

It's OK, folks.

Mahomes was on fire Week 1.

As Worthy gets his lather going and they figure out how to use Kelce, he'll have a handful of shit games, a handful of great games, and so it goes.

They've just been blindsided early by the LT issues and no Hollywood.

There is still going to be SPACE in the offense because of Worthy, and that alone means things aren't going to look as bad as they did last year every week.

This wasn't THAT bad of an offensive performance compared to some of the crap that happened last season.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

360 yards on what 70 attempts the last 2 weeks combined. This shit is wild. The league has basically turned Pat into a super clutch Alex

It is smart, but its pissing off this fanbase in particular because we have Patrick Mahomes but he's playing like Alex Smith. Plus a whole offseason worth of hype that the offense was gonna be cracked again.

There are a ton of people saying the NFL isn't exciting anymore and college offers more...they are turning off a lot of people with the current play.
