Last 2 weeks have been pretty shitty on offense. Sure they scored yesterday, but that's against the shitbird Raiders and the Chiefs looked shitty doing it.
Mahomes doesn't look right to my eye. Anyone else notice he seemed to be laboring to even get back to hand the ball off at times? Is he still hurt?
He looks skiddish in the pocket (with the interior OL I guess I get it) but the Chiefs can't win in the playoffs without him being his normal self.
What's everyone's thoughts on whats going on? Am I just seeing shit? [Reply]

Yes you can. Keep guy(s) in to help. Andy has a fetish for sending 5 out. This is not the oline to rely on 1v1's. [Reply]
It's gone back to the Alex Smith style of playcalling. Whether that's injury related, coaching, or the lack of WR's getting open as much, I'm not sure. [Reply]
The throw Mahomes made that the defender dropped was the worst throw I've seen him make in a while. Shit happens. When you're a gunslinging assassin you're occasionally gonna kill a few women and children that were in the wrong place at the wrong time. [Reply]

But he needs to stay in clean pockets more.
Actually what I saw yesterday was encouraging. Reid moved him around the pocket a bit more yesterday. There was one where I actually saw him burst a bit. He sailed the throw but seems the off platform shit was off all day because of the wind. He's been confined to a pocket offense most of the year. Which is good but where the magic happens is when he starts moving around. I saw him take shots yesterday I haven't seen for some time. In good weather he would have been a highlight reel yesterday.
Also... He looked like he was having fun yesterday. Haven't seen that for a while. [Reply]

Here is something worth looking at, its the drive summaries. Chiefs started with the ball in great field position most of the game which limited yardage.
We punted 2 times and turned ball over on downs 1 time when we couldn't get 2 yards on 2 run attempts.
It was just a weird game, Kelce had 3 drops earlier that would have changed numbers significantly. I'm not saying they played like a well oiled machine but given the situations and weather, they still dropped 31 on them on offense.
It's not just the sacks, it causes him to leave the pocket. He needs to step up and make plays in there. Now, I think he feels uncomfortable because of the interior OL play. [Reply]

Don't know about that. Seemed like an OK read. But shows how bad the conditions are. Mahomes has a strong arm but off platform he's not going to get that ball there with that wind. [Reply]

I don't think Reid moved him more than usual, Pat left some pockets he shouldn't have.
The wind definitely played a part, but they've gotta be better to do anything going forward. [Reply]
That's probably the fewest throws between 10-20 in a game he's ever played here. I'm thinking conditions definitely played a part there. That makes a lot of sense. [Reply]

Not wrong.
Only issue is, in January, you aren't likely to play in perfect conditions. [Reply]
