Can’t believe how stupid the 4th down playcall was

[RunKC]

4th and 3 from the 39, 8 mins left. Offense struggling all day, defense dominating Jameis with 5 sacks and 3 INT’s.

The Browns did not get in the redzone one time

Ability to pin the Browns deep in their own territory with a 14 pt lead and 7 ish mins left and they go for it.

Unbelievably stupid. Unreal

Who is supposed to chew Andy Reid's ass?

Hey, I’m not even saying they can’t turn it around. In fact, I still pretty much expect them to. I’m not a moron, I’ve seen the story play out the last few years like everyone else.

However, the play you’re seeing from Mahomes should concern you. He has never, ever looked this terrible for this long of a stretch. Last year, it was more about the pieces around him. This year, it’s him. That’s a very different situation.

I’m sure he’s mentally and physically exhausted, so maybe he’s just coasting because he knows he can, and I couldn’t blame him if that’s the case. Just hope he can put on his cape quickly come playoff time.

Nothing wrong with the playcall. Mahomes should not have run into fat guys.

[Mecca]

You can rip on the play calling... however play calling doesn't change that Mahomes is leaving yards and points all over the field week in and week out.

Forcing 6 turnovers and scoring only 21 total points is not something I think we’ll ever see from a team again in our lifetimes. We literally had 6 extra drives and still did nothing.

Anyone who isn’t worried at this point just isn’t very smart. It’s not the same as last year. The weapons are there and everyone is basically healthy. Offense just sucks ass, plain and simple.

We definitely aren’t “healthy” without Brown and Rice

But Mahomes is playing worse this year than last year. I think 2023 Mahomes in this situation would turn this game into a rout and he’d probably have like 30 passing touchdowns by now

This.

Playcall like it’s 4 down territory.

No. We are forgetting how angry we were after limping past the Patriots last year.

In 2023 we looked equally unimpressive in the second half.

The bigger shitshow was the end of the first half.

[Discuss Thrower]

It was a terrible play call.

It should have been a short drop and fire to someone right off the snap where it's either an offensive catch on a sideline or in the dirt.

To be really honest Mahomes should have punted it.

Any play in the 2nd half that required a clean pocket was a shitty call. You are up 14-21 points, run the ****ing ball and throw quick hitters. The end. Do that in the 2nd half, and Mahomes walks off the field without a limp.

Wish Andy ran the ball on 3rd down in that situation. Punt or run it again on 4th down.

Guess I'm not sure what there is to be concerned about then?

And that's not to sound dense... I get what you're saying. Mahomes is obviously the key to it all and he needs to get his head on straight, or else it doesn't matter who your receivers are or anything else.

But, I do think we've actually seen the potential for this offense more often this year than we did for long stretches last season. At one point last season, I think in mid-late December I was still saying "remember that one time they were down 14-0 to the Raiders and then the offense looked amazing after that? What if they just do that again...." like 8 ****ing weeks later.

If it wasn't for the 4th quarter drives, crunch time, etc; I might be more concerned (well, as concerned as I could be about not 3peating, which is barely even reality right now), but I think we'll see DHop on the field for more than 50% of snaps, and then with Brown and Worthy's flashes, etc; they'll get the offense reeled in and Mahomes will once again lock in and leave us wondering why the hell this ever happens.

Better put than what I said, 100%.
