Woof. Alright, so what would you do?

This isn’t scheme or bad luck though with the WR. It’s a pattern. But most of all it’s apparently not fixable because if it was I think it would have shown signs of improvement by now. Basically every WR is over exposed right now. We are asking our fourth outfielder who normally plays once or twice a week to give the starters a break to instead bat third in the lineup and play every day. |

I'd say the one encouraging thing was it seemed like they were getting to 3rd and short quite a bit, like the older days. I could be wrong, but didn't seem like they had nearly as many 2nd and longs that turned into 3rd and longs. Even in the 2nd half, they ****ed up several manageable 3rd downs. In the playoffs that means Mahomes is probably running for more 1st downs, and Kelce most likely isn't dropping everything. And I'm usually the one screaming offense wins championships and you have to be able to score 30+ in a game or 3 when the games really matter... but, just not sure that's true on the AFC side this year given Burrow is out, Allen is struggling, and the defense is ****ing legit.

It is what it is, this is the team as constructed by Burt and Andy. Pretty egregious mistake, that’s hopefully addressed next season.

There’s nothing you can do other than try to coach them to execute. The personnel isn’t good enough and it can’t be improved at this point in the year. The guys who aren’t on the same page with Mahomes have been here for multiple years and just don’t seem to get it.
They whiffed on the position in the offseason, and now we have a WR group that is basically Rice with some substandard slot guys and gadget players. There’s no way to make chicken salad here. |

They've been in position to make the play, they just didn't catch a football. Something they do hundreds of times a day. I'm not going to lose the faith. It's been historically ugly up to this point, but I'm not giving up on them. |

Why does the receiver coach continue to have a job ? FIRE the _ucking receiver coach today. My bet he is not anywhere near qualified to coach NFL players. Can ANYONE on this site name the receiver coach of the Chiefs "without Google"? |

They've been doing it their entire career. It's like blaming the line coach when dudes are jumping offside. |

The problem runs MUCH deeper than that. This offense has been the buzzsaw of old to open most games, but as soon as we're done with the opening script the wheels fall off and every receiver starts ****ing up the most rudimentary shit. Something is fundamentally broken in the chain when every single WR goes from serviceable to worthless once we're calling plays on the fly, and as much wishful thinking as there has been poured into it Rice hasn't developed a ****ing bit since getting here. He's the same guy that walked on the field week 1.

Are we sure he's not one of Andy's children?

Obviously drop Moore's snaps substantially and make sure they're all from the slot. I'd probably activate James and see if he can operate there too. |

Uhh, why do people keep pointing to Rice as being anything other than a JAG with the rest? He's maintaining the same substandard production despite having how workload nearly doubled and the dude drops balls just like the rest of them. I keep seeing this sentiment about Rice and to this point it simply isn't true. He's just as much a part of the problem currently as the rest of them.

Rashee has plenty of room for growth. unlike the other guys mistakes are expected. Let him make more mistakes. Our best shot at improving this wr room is to accelerate his growth and to do that we have to give him opportunities to make mistakes. Although he's running better depth of routes we still target him very conservatively |

Watson losing Mahomes faith, may force the issue of other options. They knew enough to block Mahomes outlet wearing #1. The Eagles had some hefty motivation
