Agree with the OPs points.
Good - Mahomes. Replace him with anyone else and it wouldn't be fun watching this offense. If we can protect him properly and give him just one elite target outside of Kelce he's going to be invincible. Also McKinnon was great again and Pacheco minus the fumble.
Bad - Most of the rest. Ball security is a problem and it's not just "bad luck" it's poor play and possibly poor coaching. Reid seems to have a few games a year where his game management is just horrible, he's now had 2 in a row. I love that he wants Mahomes to throw but dear Lord just run it when it's working ffs. The DL was rancid as usual and the secondary poor, at least the CBs are young, there's no excuse for Thornhill and Reid.
And then there's the refs. I don't tend to criticise them because I'll always believe it's partly on players and coaches to adapt to them, sadly, and so that's on Spags and the D as well...BUT they were f***ing atrocious. Cheffers is an absolutely woeful ref who has no business officiating.
