Had a couple of really shit games against the Bills and Titans. I have faith he'll turn it around but not soon enough to salvage the season.

I think the O would benefit greatly by watching what a team like TB does with getting rid of the ball sooner.
It looks like they keep running these long developing, complicated routes, and Pat has to bail out and turn it into an And-1 style offense, just to keep from getting sacked. We just don't play to our strengths, and that falls on Andy and Eric. The D, they just look uninspired. Chris Jones playing matador was when I turned off the game yesterday. Why ball out when you get the ball back to the offense and they choke or cough it up time after time. Our D is designed to play with a lead. They are supposed to be opportunistic, but they just don't have it when the team is behind on a consistent basis. And they have even less when they are half-assing it most of the game. |

This is silly. Mahomes has been among the best in the pocket throughout his career. |

Deep routes can produce a sustainable offense against certain defenses and when you have an offensive line that can pass protect consistently. The way defenses are playing the Chiefs, and with our mediocre/bad tackle play, we really should be trying for faster-developing routes. The short routes can be extremely tough to stop, even when defenses know it's coming. Just ask any team playing Tom Brady. I'm not saying Mahomes should completely abandon his greatest strength, just because defenses are playing him a certain way, but we've clearly got to try a different strategy at this point. His primary read is way too often 20-30 yards downfield.

He's just pressing, that's all. There are things open underneath, he just won't take them. He's trying to score 14 points every play.

it works with the guys we have, problem is we don't have enough variety in our offensive calls, nor do we really identify the weakness of the D and try to exploit it.

Maybe we should put him under center a bit more..? He can still take his 3-5 step drop, but it wouldn't put him 10 yards behind the LoS and in harm's way.

Early on, they should run the ball right at these DE's that want to crash upfield in anticipation of a deep drop. Mix in some quick-hitting throws with those running plays and our pass protectors will have a much easier job. I don't ever want to just give up on the deep and intermediate throws, but you've got to punish defenses when they lean too hard in one direction. The game plan yesterday very well could have been just that, but with the score getting out of hand so quickly, it never had a chance to materialize.
