He was a handful out there. I'm actually fairly confident that Toney will recover from all this and be fine. I may try some trade lows out there in fantasy. But Moore? I just see no reason for optimism.

I mean that's high school football stuff. Plant and run at 90. There's not an easier route in the world to run. And he was lazy. Didn't plant the foot hard and then drifted back off his cut to let the DB cut right under him and pick it off. It's just an awful, awful interception. Then he jakes a blocking assignment either that game or the next one. The effort is inconsistent and the execution damn sure appears to be as well. This isn't even HARD stuff like sight adjustments. This is easy, knew it in high school, fundamental stuff. And 10 games into the season he was messing them up last year. People wanted to make excuses for it but there IS no excuse for that. That isn't something you need a season in the system to know how to do.

I don’t like to use the word “efficient.” But I think the new mahomes mentality is to not waste downs. A drop is an obvious example. But we’ve also seen games where mahomes missed a few deep shots then pulled back, even though the defense was giving it to us.
If we don’t execute the basics mahomes loses confidence that we can claw 10 yards in 2 tries. And so instead of taking more risks he instead puts it on himself to manufacture opportunities. That’s why you see him bail on pockets before he goes through progressions. Or abandon short stuff he fears will result in a drop or a loss. It’s also why he may be reluctant to waste downs on a deep miss. Even if the defense gives us deep shots I don’t know mahomes attacks it as long as we don’t clean up the basics. Kelce helps a lot but not entirely. We saw this same body language in our year of dropsies. Mahomes doesn’t sulk over tough defense or bad throws. What sets him off is when his guys don’t execute what they’re supposed to. |

He said in an interview he thought he was going to be a RB in college but found out when he got there that they had him as wr. Big jump for the kid. Hopefully, he’s able to figure it out and start making plays and moving sticks. |

I'm not necessarily a Moore believer, but his snap count indicates the staff has confidence in him. The lack of targets is concerning, but that's not 100% his fault.
I hope last week was a fluke with a disjointed offense caused by the Kelce injury and the Lions playing way more zone than anyone expected (likely due to the Kelce injury). |

But, I think there's a chance, given his very high snap count, that we see more targets in a different game against a different opponent (with defenses having to account for Kelce). There's also a chance he's just a guy, or worse. We will know more after next week. |

I get it he's an NFL WR, but every single one of those "drops" would have been incredible catches. He dropped a slant that was fired in the opposite direction of where he's going. The other 2 were really high passes.
If we're gonna play "You're in the NFL, so you are required to make tough catches", then we have to be fair and say the same thing about our QB. He's the greatest player/QB to ever play this game, so he should be putting the ball where it needs to be. It's ok to admit that Patrick was a little off for some reason. It's a rare occurrence, but he's not above criticism. |

One of those drops, Gardner made a hell of a play knocking the ball out. Doesn't absolve him for the other drops, but that one he actually caught, then Gardner pulled off a great PD. I can't blame Skyy for that one.
