Do you want Mahomes to just chuck 50/50 balls deep or something? Or how exactly do you think we're going to beat defenses if we don't show that the short stuff will kill them too? Why would safeties ever come down if we can't beat them with short passes or runs?

The short stuff isn't killing them. It's helping them win. I think we aren't investing heavily enough in the 10 - 20 yard range. We have to use the entire field. When the +20 stuff got shut down, we seemed to default to the 5 and 10. We have too much talent to be running an Alex Smith offense like we did tonight.
