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

Go back to draft day 2020 and think of the Clyde Edwards-Helaire pick. He’s been a B player. Imagine if that pick had been...Trevon Diggs

No...I don't believe I will.

Oof.

Diggs looks absolutely unreal out there right now. I've really not see a stretch like this since peak Revis. He's probably not that good, but he's playing out of his damn mind at the moment.

Its a perfect storm of all of the above if were being honest.

I think it's easier for defenses to adjust to an offense than for an offense to constantly innovate and dominate defenses.

With so many problems, Andy and the coaching staff need to be looked at as the primary issue.

Opposing teams/coaches have been actively developing schemes and acquiring personnel to beat the Chiefs and Andy and his coaching staff have not being able to adjust or respond at this point.

This is especially true on offense with the inability to effectively counter the Cover 2 looks designed to make the Chiefs drive the field rather than giving up big plays.

Mahomes also deserves some of the blame with the offense's struggles against the two deep safety defenses because he's giving up on plays too quickly and reverting to backyard ball which messes up the timing of the intermediate passing game.

My take for what it's worth.

1)Mahomes is off kilter. Several times he has flat out missed the pass to open receivers this season. Combine that with turn overs, disaster.

2) Defense flat out sucks. But I agree, last year, though, we'd just outscore them, this ain't last year.

3) The coaches are still ultimately to blame. THEY need to find out what is wrong with Mahomes. Find out what plays work in the 2 deep safety defenses. Figure out our defense.

Andy is a great coach, Beinemy is a great coach. I trust them...they gotta fix it.

Nobody blaming Joe Biden? This team has sucked since he became President.

No, but I think Mahomes is being dragged down by his shitty team-mates.

Mahomes 1 bad game is not a top 3 reason why this team sucks.

Everyone had it all wrong when they said that running the ball and keeping Mahomes on the sideline was the way to beat them. It’s making the Chiefs offense take 12 plays to drive down the field. More chances for mistakes and less drives overall.

The Eagles didn't do very well with that strategy. I guess you could argue Baltimore and the Chargers did because of the turnovers. The Bills just played better than these other defenses. They actually stopped KC from progressing, even before the turnovers. The strategy itself is sound though. If this team learns discipline with penalties and ball security, they can adjust.

The Catch-22 for opposition is that longer drives means more time for Mahomes on the field. Before, teams wanted to keep the ball away from him. Not give him longer drives. The Chiefs yesterday ran many more plays than Buffalo. The execution was the issue.
