I’m sorry that I can’t get on board the chicken little train.
The team has not played great, has an issue at LT, injuries at RB and a potential contributor at wr. The defense is missing a couple of pieces and making adjustments. I lived through seasons of Tyler Palko and Thigpen and Cassel….this team is 3-0 vs 3 projected playoff teams. The team is chasing a third cpsuperbowl in a row. There were decades when I’d have harmed a stranger to see this offense in KC. It’s not time to panick. Stay the course Andy. |

FFS. Just last night Mahomes missed an open Rice downfield early, threw a pick downfield to a wide open receiver that should have been a TD and threw behind Worthy downfield? Worrhy has had to play defense to prevent a Mahomes INT in back-to-back weeks now bc Mahomes is underthrowing the ball and not leading him. It isn’t playcalling |

Or try passing into the intermediate or deep part of the field more than 6 times a game so Mahomes can develop anything even resembling chemistry with his weapons on throws that aren't horizontal.

I think part of the issue is worthy is making mistakes in routes and adjustments.
This is a tough offense to learn….and there is a reason the offense has gotten better as the seasons go on(for rookies) and as worthy grows, this offense will open up. |

Personally, I think we're just seeing a new phase of Chiefs dominance. Everyone is so terrified of Patrick Mahomes that they're selling out to stop the pass, so what does the Chiefs braintrust do? They get power running backs. We'll use the running backs until teams have to adjust, and then begin the aerial bombardments again. I love watching Patrick Mahomes II throw, and as an ignorant villager I'll advocate that he should throw as often as possible. But I love winning even more than I love watching Patrick Mahomes II throw, so if Andy says we're running for a while, then we run for a while. |

Someone said it in the gameday thread, and they were right: Pat looks like he's trying to aim passes instead of naturally tossing them sometimes.
That's exactly what happened on the pick by the goal line. |

Oh no, it's ****ing obvious. And then they give up on it the rest of the game and we're right back to square one with Mahomes having next to no chemistry with any of his weapons and he's constantly off target as a result.

-LT getting destroyed in week 2 not allowing time for routes to develop -Kelce looking not like Kelce -Hollywood being hurt -Worthy growing pains You could tell Mahomes is not on the same page as Worthy. I would imagine that gets better as the season continues |

The offense looks bad in the red zone because we're a spread passing team, when the field is condensed we don't run as well because there isn't as much space.
If anything they really should be trying to run out of a spread formation inside the 5 instead of going heavy personnel and getting stuffed each time. |

We've seen Reid go to Mahomes constantly over the years and remind him to keep firing after he has a bad play. It's a complete 180 nowadays, just turtle up and throw YAC shit the rest of the game then get 3 points in the Red Zone.

Now there are less possession's, no big plays and honestly the best QB's have to literally go into game manager mode to win games. |

I mean who do you blame there? I find it hard to believe that Nagy is turning Mahomes into Alex Smith.
