Allen outplayed Mahomes, yes. But he had all day to throw and guys running wide open all over the field.
We aren't able to scheme anybody open anymore. I remember when analysts would marvel about how we seemingly had guys running wide open all over the place. Last night Buffalo looked like we used to look.
Now? No one respects our run game and teams are routinely dropping seven or sometimes even eight into coverage.
I don't care how good Mahomes, Kelce and Hill are. You can't throw the ball when there's 8 in coverage. You HAVE to be able to run the ball to keep defenses honest.
We can't and it makes us easy to defend.

A 3rd option in the receiving game would make a big difference, even with a poor running game. We can only hope Josh Gordon is that #3 option. The other WR's cannot get the job done.
