The only way I see Mahomes breaking out of this funk is either A) Humphries somehow ends up the savior we all want and Mahomes' jersey stays clean for a couple of weeks in a row or B) the playoffs hit and Mahomes somehow flips a switch into "**** it" mode and just starts playing street ball again. If neither of those happen, I don't see the playoffs going as we hope because this shit is a straight-up disaster right now.

I wouldn’t call it a disaster. It’s still obviously good enough to win close games against even good teams. We can win ugly when our defense inevitably snaps back into shape for the playoff stretch. And our offense will undoubtedly improve to at least “good enough” as Humphreys and dhop get worked in.
We mostly need a few games of consistency and reliability and it will click again for mahomes. Humphreys obviously helps. I know people want to say thuney was lockdown but mahomes needs to see a few games of it and we put so much into chip help this game and that really limits what we can do with receiving targets. Hollywood helps way more than I think we give credit for. I like worthy but he’s just too inexperienced to heal a broken qb. What we’ve been missing for a few years is a guy who can adjust and catch up to a deep ball. Someone called it over the shoulder, but I think of it as more a guy who can hit that second gear when the ball is a little overthrown. For whatever reason it doesn’t feel like that mahomes worthy connection has worked yet but I think it will with Hollywood until Mahomes gets a full offseason of work with worthy
