****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.

The WR's were open a lot. They dropped the ball.



NFL players should catch the ball. That's taught in pee wee. We have dropped the ball 26 times. 5 more than the next worst team.



That's a talent problem.

It is NOT just about drops

If the staff truly believed this group was good enough to get it done as currently constructed then that’s legitimately terrifying.

I could have sworn they traded for a vet WR at the deadline.

yeah. The reality is, this may just be who they are and if they are gonna win it all this year, it's gonna have to be on the heels of the defense.

In a totally unrelated note, our layover coming back to KC from Nassau was in Miami last night. It is usually in Atlanta or Charlotte, so I've never flow into Miami before. Flying into it from over the ocean may have been the coolest visual I have ever experienced. What a cool city to fly into. That is all.

The playcalling was much better. They had a few new wrinkles. It was Andy's best game this year. They got guys open but they dropped the ball.

It's evident that it's a talent issue and Andy can't fix that. It was the same shit a couple years ago when Spags had Mike Hughes and Frank Clark. Of course the defense is better now that talented guy in Karlaftis and McDuffie replaced them

He also stopped running and dove. Why? That's something you learn in high school.

Well Nagy is doing his level best to shield his players. That's OK, but he needs to understand that his making excuses for them and giving them a public pass is inviting criticism on him. He gets paid well for being blamed for his player's lack of talent and abilities.

No they didn't. Recievers showed separation, we were great on 3rd and 4th and short, and we ran the ball down the #1 rush defenses throat. The drops, Kelce's fumble, and Mahomes Pick were the reasons for the loss. We were much better in the above areas, but still do many mistakes to beat the #1 NFC seed.

They don't need to just beat the Raiders this week. They need to drop 40 on them.


Show some pride.

Baby steps, how about a 2nd half TD. I hope they get it figured out by Green Bay, I'm going to that game.

There is a cool flight path that flies directly up or down the coast line. It provides a great view of all the luxury real estate development in South Florida.

There’s drops yes. There’s penalties yes.

This is the bigger issue for me with the @Chiefs pass game. #nfllive @ArrowheadPride pic.twitter.com/A0pYjjfJmV

Spot on

[ChiefsFanatic]

We all know how Mahomes always takes the blame. He never says anything negative publicly.

Two Questions:

1. Do you think Mahomes gets on the receivers in private, or do you think he only pumps them up instead of dressing them down?

2. Should Mahomes try to light a fire under the receivers by expressing his frustration with the drops and route running in a press conference?

I think Mahomes should get after them a little publicly, because what he is doing now isn't working.

I am not saying he should publicly call out Moore, MVS, or anyone, but always taking the blame has had no impact on their performance, and maybe hearing the best QB in the world tell the world that he isn't happy they keep dropping passes, and not being where they are supposed to be, could make them wake the **** up, and realize that Mahomes put the spotlight on them, and hopefully they have some damn professionals pride, and take steps to work on catching the ball, etc.

Every person is different, so what motivates some, will shut down others, but sometimes people need a kick in the ass.

Ok, so we all agree that WR is our current issue. That miss catch by MVS, which was PERFECTLY thrown sealed the deal for me. He is GONE! Now Mahomes did over through his WRs I think 3 times? This is KILLING our team.

No. Mahomes shouldn't and won't ever call out these people in public. How is this even a question? Have you not learned how he carries himself and how Reid would want it?

I've said it before: in private Mahomes is a lot, lot more edgy and direct. If he has issues, they'd hear it from him face-to-face. And that's the way it should be.
