Andy, please let Mahomes be Mahomes

Not sure if the coaches or Mahomes himself, the tackles or defenses have adjusted and are playing him that way to take away that part of his game. But being a traditional pocket QB isn't his game.

That doesn’t work unless the offense is effective in rhythm and threatening the whole field at all times. That’s partly why the rolling out isn’t working right now. He’s doing it before giving the play a chance to develop.

Watching SNF, the Rams are struggling, can't score, can't run the ball and can't protect so they have now decided to roll out every pass so far in the 2nd half and with good success so far.

We need to impose our will on defenses and not let them dictate things.

It's kind of sad to see how soft some of these schedules are when I look around at other teams... the Rams beat the Bucs, but got worked by the Cards and now the Titans...... and that's it. Their schedule is awful.

The Chiefs, OTOH, have already played 5 division leaders and the Raiders are tied for the division lead (not to say they're great, but they aren't the Lions and Texans) and then the Cowboys.

With the Rams' schedule, the Chiefs would be 7-2 or 6-3, even given how poorly they've played.... that's how bad their schedule has been.

WTF are you talking about? We should be 7-2, 8-1 or even 9-0 as it is.

You turn the ball over 3- 4 times a game then even the suck teams will beat you.

Well yeah..that starts by hitting open WRs.
