****Our Wide Receivers Suck- Official Thread****

[Sofa King]

They can’t get open, they drop passes in their hands, their jet sweeps are slow and terrible. These guys are not good.

Not to mention both tackles constantly miss blocks or get called for holding. And you can add on the 8+ big plays that have been called back for a penalty. If EB was still here it would be the same situation, but EB would just be screaming at players, arguing with Patrick on the sideline, and kneeling it to go into halftime with 45 seconds and a timeout.

It sucks the best defense Pat has ever had comes at the same time of having a poor O-Line and inexperienced WRs.

I see the ****ing reeruns are out in full force this morning...

This is 100% accurate. When they recapped at the half to show Kelce’s production, they had camera angles behind Mahomes where you could see open WRs.

Also, I don’t understand how they are using Toney. 3 receptions for 9 yards with the longest a 5 yard gain? They can’t scheme a play where he is open beyond the LOS?

If there’s a wr out to to trade for, by all means go for it.

But they traded Tyreek and transitioned to a more rounded football team. Here’s the thing guys…..it ****ing worked. This setup is probably better geared to win in the playoffs than those blow it out offenses. They can get stops and lean on the defense if they need to.

Everyone wanted them to “be a dynasty like the patriots”. Well…..from my chair it looks like they are. Not the Randy Moss score all the points but don’t win super bowls patriots, but the Edelman gronk and Brady third iteration patriots.

You know….the one that won 3 super bowls?

Look, I have differences in opinion about preferred formula but this formula right now cos fine. But you have to have some level of competence in your WRs. And we don’t have that right now and i wish people would stop making excuses for it. We are asking the bare minimum from them and they are not achieving that. We can get away with that now against teams that are a combined 4-12. We can’t play ugly like this against teams like buffalo (when allen plays competently) and Miami and cincy (if they get their shit together).

You are literally just making this number up and pretending like it’s some sort of established fact from which you base your entire post.

Nobody thinks they have been great but last night it was obvious watching it live the play calling was suspect and Mahomes was missing WR all over the field all game long.

It's because he is absolutely ****ing obsessed with his narrative. This dude has been writing essays about our WRs on CP for months on end.

I don't think he could have fit that one it.

You may be right. He was running for his life on that one.

I just don't see it. Hopefully I'm wrong and they start killing it soon but idk... They seem to be getting worse each week.

Toney has 92 yards in 6 games this season

He’s not average

They've gotta play better. 100%. Won't argue.

They being the QB and the HC as well.

Again, when the HC makes what he makes, this just is what it is. It's the route they've taken.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

Believe it or not, it doesn't need to be the same one every single game. Sometimes it's entirely on the WRs like Week 1. Sometimes it's a blend of things. I thought this week was less on WRs than we've been seeing.

But continue to exist in your black-and-white world and stare at your never-evolving statue of a narrative.

I think his strawman was directed at me, because it was right after my post.

Point still stands though.

So how about trading for Judge Judy, eh, MahomesMagic?

Guy is a low effort turd. He'd suck here like he sucks in Denver.

I'd rather play Skyy Moore than that piece of crap

Yeah, I'm out on that.

Talented but bleh.

If he's successfully tanked his value enough I'd still give it a shot.

This is first down. Moore is not even being covered basically the entire play. This ball needs to go to him right away. This ends up an 8 yard completion to Kelce like three seconds later but look at Kelce here also. Completely covered but Mahomes just waits for him instead of making the easy completion right from the snap. Of course him holding it longer and moving around waiting also exposes the oline to penalties.

One more time, **** Thursday Night Football. As good as Reid is with a bye that's not the first time I've been left completely dumbfounded at what he was doing during a short week game.
