It is flawed logic to suggest they would have been better off by doing something else, when the only evidence for that was a rather disastrous performance against the Chargers with DJ Humphries at LT.

We'll never know because nothing different was tried.
And again - it's not that the plan failed - Mahomes and the O line did. Even if there are deep routes that are taking too long to develop you then throw the football away. You don't eat sacks and turn the football over. We know Mahomes knows this and excels at this because we've watched him do it.
This isn't the first time the O line has allowed a ton of pressure. It isn't the first time we needed to employ a quick passing game or to run the football more. It was a coaching failure, an O line failure, and a Mahomes failure. The answers were right there but we did not take advantage of them and we did not adapt to the situation.
