Maybe I'm just grasping at straws trying to find a scapegoat, but Nagy is the only major change this offense has made
Juju was swapped for Rice and thats it, its a wash
Maybe, just maybe that edgier dynamic Eric had with Pat and co actually worked better... maybe he kept everyone "on their toes" better, so to speak

I just don't buy it. When you actually dig into our WRs, which ones have actually regressed? Because all of them seem to be what they were. What they've always been. And last year feels more and more like we just hid their flaws really well. This year we've had no choice but to magnify their roles. None of these guys proved they deserve a bigger role than what they did last year.
I'd say by far the biggest change is Kelce is aging and defenses spent an entire off-season prepping, training and stacking personnel to stop our offense specifically. And yeah... Juju as much as we had to say it is a hole we somehow haven't filled yet. We can't hide our WRs this year. To me it's either nagy and embree are duds (which means you have to believe Reid, who is a micromanager, is a dud too) or the WRs just aren't very good. Which is the bigger fluke? Generational HC, QB, TE playing bad this year? Or bad WRs operating in a #1 offense last year? Choice seems obvious.
I'll give nagy and embree time. It feels way more likely that they will thrive with better talent than it is our WRs will thrive with better coaching.
