Let's Talk About Nagy's Playcalling

[Bowser]

I think we can all agree that our offense has been "off" all season, minus the Bears and Chargers games. Mahomes hasn't looked himself by and large, and that could well be because of the talent around him, but watching the plays unfold just makes me wonder why some of the plays are being called in the first place.

Today was an abomination on many fronts with the offense but it sure looked a good deal like an Alex Smith game plan, minus Mahomes' patented making something out of nothing scramble drill passes. The run plays were predictable and getting nothing, but they kept forcing them. We threw the ball laterally as much as horizontally (seemingly), and the plays themselves just look, well, off.

Is it Nagy, is it Mahomes, is it the talent outside of Mahomes and Kelce, or is it a combination of all that? Or was this game just an outlier and our annual piss down our legs game as has been suggested, and I'm just OMG-ing for no good reason?

Something FEELS different than in the past so far this season. I would love to put my finger on what it is, precisely.

Regardless, the pass to Skyy was an easy TD dropped by a shitter.

I blame the coaches more than the players as the game plan didn't seem as creative, like a team that had just beat this team 2 weeks ago and was ok, lets start this up in the second half.

Or the Broncs D was on Meth and just played out of thier minds.

Nah, our beloved Chiefs were looking past Denver including Andy. It's on him. I guarantee you they all got lazy and told themselves nothing has changed dramatically in 2wks thus they prepared very little if any thinking they were okay with the same kind of game they played 2wks ago. You reap what you sow. Definitely looking past this game and it definitely showed. Pat looked like he did playing TB in the SB today. Running for his life especially in the 2nd half.

Can't argue but Mckinnin would have moved the chains and kept us alive.

Naggy didn't drop a big gainer, that was Rice. Naggy didn't fumble, that was MVS. Naggy didn't muff a punt, that was Hardman. Mahomes gets a pass becuase he's earned it.

The problem I have is loyalty. Clyde sucks and has no value. He's a neg negative to this team and yet he's still here.

My fear is that they'll bring Skyy back next year just like they did with Clyde.

He shouldn't be on this roster next season.

If Skyy Moore had caught that pass, it may have changed his Chiefs fate.

But now? The drop just cemented his legacy as a huge disappointment, and it's time for him to GTFO.

This offense starts every game with it seems like to me, the same plays. They have been playing the same game plan all year.

Now, that maybe they are not alternating, at least, change up the plays or game plans. Maybe it’s the coaches knowing that Mahomes doesn’t trust his WR’s(besides Kelce). The trust issue is becoming the biggest negative issue this year.

I do get an itch to play again when I watch games like this tho. You can tell there’s a trust issue on offense right now. I do think it will work itself out down the road https://t.co/7raweeJCyg

We've hit rock bottom.

Even Gehrig Dieter thinks our WRs suck.

They're not going to cut high draft picks,they view it as sunk cost.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't really "get" Nagy, or why he should be viewed as anything but a failed HC. Even assuming the rank playcallng is Reid, the one thing everyone gave Bienimy props for was getting the team ready to play. Nagy doesn't appear to even have that quality.

Its week 9. It ain't working itself out down any road with these WR's. Rice and Watson are keepers. But the rest are trash.

The Toney play made no sense.
