He's a great player but it's not just the Defense.

There can be more than 1 problem on a team.

I could throw plenty more stats out there saying more or less the same thing about Mahomes’ season. But if you’d rather trust in make believe shit instead, I won’t argue with you.

Since you like QBR so much what was his QBR tonight? Let me guess... The Bills defense is just that amazing?

He was as bad tonight as the Bills defense was good. Doesn’t mean he’s an issue going forward

Unless you want to see the defense be on the field even more, he has to stop turning the ball over. If your defense is terrible, the last thing you want to do is give the opponents more possessions, agree?

If on average, your team scores on a higher percentage of possessions than your opponent, it doesn't matter how many possessions there are. In fact, you will reduce variance (getting bitten by bad luck) by having more possessions in the game. If you are our opponents, do you want to see the Chiefs play up tempo or seeking to grind clock? If I am playing against the Chiefs, I rejoice every time they throw short or run the ball. If the Chiefs take 15 plays to score, chances are better they will not covert a 3rd down or commit a penalty or turnover. We have to find a way to stay aggressive. We have Kelce and Tyreek. He have to make those player count.

I agree. But teams aren't budging from the 2 deep look because we have nothing to counter it with. Our WRs other than Hill suck. So either he breaks out and defeats the coverage himself or nothing happens.

Do you want Mahomes to just chuck 50/50 balls deep or something? Or how exactly do you think we're going to beat defenses if we don't show that the short stuff will kill them too? Why would safeties ever come down if we can't beat them with short passes or runs?

The short stuff isn't killing them. It's helping them win. I think we aren't investing heavily enough in the 10 - 20 yard range. We have to use the entire field. When the +20 stuff got shut down, we seemed to default to the 5 and 10. We have too much talent to be running an Alex Smith offense like we did tonight.
