Yes, the receivers have dropped a lot of passes, but for me, the issue is clearly his toe.
I went back and watched the game, and Mahomes made a lot of throws basically flat footed. I believe both near interceptions were the result of him using his hips to generate torque instead of planting his right foot and stepping into the throws with power.
This season he almost never makes a hard plant to throw deep or with power. I went back and watched some games from early last year, and his footwork was much better. He has been uncharacteristically inaccurate this season, and it's all in his footwork. He has fallen back into some bad habits from college. It's also why he has been off on his deep passes.
So, I truly believe that there is an issue with his toe. Whether the issue is it didn't heal completely after surgery, or if the surgery didn't really fix the problem like we were told, or maybe he even tweaked it in training camp, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has another surgery after the season to "clean some things up."
