I don't think the offense is to blame for this loss. I believe defense and special teams played a bigger role in the loss.
But the 3rd & 2 play in this game, and the decision to punt the ball back to the Packers in the previous game, makes me want put Reid in a time out, and take away his BBQ.
The offensive genius couldn't come up with a play to get 3 yards in back to back games. Players make plays, but there are times when the play call has to be the star of the play.
Reid has all sorts of gadget plays, misdirection plays, etc. designed to fool the defense, but two weeks in a row he blows it. If we pull out one of those special plays against Green Bay on 4th down, instead of kicking the ball to an offense that we clearly couldn't stop at that point in the game, we win. Needing 3 yards against the Titans, Reid calls a play that is neither a misdirection play, nor a play designed with multiple targets for Mahomes, or even a play with enough variation to allow Mahomes to improvise.
The non-call and subsequent decision to punt to Aaron Rodgers, and the weak-ass TE screen against the Titans, are just absolute garbage calls on Reid's part.
