Who do you MOST blame for the team's issues?

[DaFace]

Do we need another thread to gripe about last night? Of course we do! So here's one more.

Pick an option or add your own.

Veach has destroyed our defense..... Every position group. He's done nothing to add offensive skill players. Thankfully we have Tyreek, Kelce and Mahomes from the Dorsey era.

He did find Butker and he rebuilt our OL as well as he could have given that we lost two pro bowl caliber tackles within a year.

He's built tremendous depth across the offensive line. Not just the starters.

You can have lousy players, but still give 100%, be focused and know your assignments. Even when we win, we are sloppy. Mahomes has never fixed his basics. Reid talked about working on his footwork etc when he came out of college, never happened. Mahomes has been sandlot the entire time.

I'm NOT blaming Mahomes.

I'm just saying that our coaches have not instilled any real discipline on this team. It shows in every game. Our defense lacks commitment and it shows.

I'm sorry, but the core of the problem is our coaching staff. Every team takes after its head coach. This team is just like Andy Reid.

Dumb... The problem is lack of talent on defense.

[New World Order]

On offense it’s our running backs. There are holes and safeties are playing high. They should be able to bust some big plays.

On d it’s a culmination of things: lack of pass rush, horrible coverage linebacking and Dan Sorensen

[TEX]

DL, LB's, RB's

[Wallcrawler]

Defense.

They dont know where to line up.

They don't know who they're covering.

They dont understand their role in most given plays.

Bolton is the only guy on the field willing or able to tackle.

Our best D lineman is playing out of position and is completely worthless.

The defense is so bad the offense now has to press.

Randy often shows up on important 3rd downs to call asinine drive killing plays, as if under the impression his defense is going to get a stop if this run up the center's ass fails. Ever.

So yeah. Forget 2018, forget 2003. This is all time bad defense.

Now we are trying to tame Patrick Mahomes, just take what's there, its okay not to be able to score in under 11 plays, lets start throwing parrallell to the line of scrimmage next.

Our only hope is we unleash the beast wearing 15. Point him in the right direction, and get the **** out of his way. He's our only shot at ANYTHING good happening with a defense this pathetic.

Not sure you can say that about our tackles. Hard to replace what we had, and frankly we haven't. I think that's a big reason for Mahomes bailing early and not seeing open recievers, he doesn't trust that line yet.

The offense continually turns the ball over. Defenders make great plays sometimes, but so many of our turnovers are unforced. Passes going through hands to defenders, fumbles, dropped snap, bad snap, taking kicks out of the endzone….

Defense continually blows assignments. The defense is pretty much compromised of the same players from last season, but they can’t even get lined up correctly half the time.

Again, no idea what to blame this on. Maybe coaching? Maybe a lack of competition for spots to keep players hungry?

The team feels like a zombie version of itself, it's so odd

[Ming the Merciless]

we have no LBs

we have no DL

no weapons for Mahomes other than hill & kelce

Simms on PFT analyzed a few plays last week (from week 3) where Mahomes doesn't even look at one side of the field (where guys were WIDE OPEN in the EZ), or just holds the ball with a guy open, with room to run ahead of him (presumably to air it out downfield instead).

He's off. Call it trying too hard to play hero ball, uncomfortable in the pocket, whatever you want. Not going to bring that up here. But he's not right, and he needs to figure it out soon.

How can you be off while having your highest completion % by 5 pts and your second highest YPA (only .2 off your career high) while leading the league in TDs? That's where he was going into Sunday night.

The expectations are just other worldly is the biggest issue.

All of the talk about the Chiefs new TE depth this offseason... there hasn't been much usage or production from the non-Kelce TE's to this point.

Remember when Noah Gray was supposed to be a badass in training camp?

I guess Andy is saving him for later in the year because he's nowhere to be found.

Buffalo middle of the field was wide open past the RPO passing points and he didn't get our guys in there.

I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this, at one point I mentioned to Clay that there was a 15 yard hole in the middle of the field - and our routes were all running deep and outside the hash marks.

It was maddening.

I'm convinced Andy is mailing it in this season. The last few years we've come out with new creative looks and different wrinkles that have befuddled opposing defenses.

This year its been all vanilla bullshit and stubbornly trying to run our base plays against defenses that are prepared for it. There's been little to no adjustments and the offense looks more out of sync than I've ever seen.

Not sure what's going on at Arrowhead drive, but something is definitely wrong with the scheme and play calling.

Won’t be surprised if he retires at the end of the year. Probably not a bad idea for his health and whatever else in his life.
