Pretty much. Look at that list and think about it. Losing your best WR for 9 weeks (basically 10 since Hill went out in the first Q), then your WR2 for several weeks, 3 guys on the starting OL, etc. and so on will degrade a team's efficiency through the air and on the ground.

Hell, look around the league. How many teams lost just their starting QB and went in the tank this season? The Chiefs have had a string of injuries on offense that would probably destroy 27 or more of the teams in the league.

And let's be brutally honest about today's performance by Mahomes: while his numbers are typically Mahomes, he missed some passes today, including a couple that could've, even should've, been TDs.

And he's missed a few all season. The most glaring of which was the "let me show off here," no-look to Kelce who was wide-open in the EZ earlier this year.

Ditto Matt Moore, if we're honest. At least twice Moore probably should've thrown TDs, and we came away with FGs instead. He simply missed those throws.

Yeah, Mahomes/Moore have definitely missed a few. We were incredible in the red zone last year, so you had to expect some regression. I saw that we had went from 1st to 27th so I had to start a thread bitching about it haha.

I don't think it's a regression really. We're banged up in the most critical positions as well. I think it's more just a bump in the road, and the Chiefs will shake it off and go back to their mostly scoring TDs thing after awhile.

Christ, we scored on 8 out of 11 drives. That's basically ridiculous. The league average is something like 50%.

I don't know if it's the play-calling or maybe not having Hunt or just regression toward the mean. Also it seems like we always have some penalty in the red zone that ruins the drive. Thoughts?

Offense? How many other teams scored 32 points this week and lost?

I figured our RZ O would regress a little, but not this much. 2 1/2 games with Moore, but even with Mahomes it hasnt been very good, which is surprising because Mahomes.

Don't really know what the issue is, especially since we were so good in the RZ last year.

I think we get better down there as the year goes on though. We're too talented not to and I bet it evens out more and we'll finish middle of the pack by the end of the year.
