The past few years is on the coaching staff and especially the OC. The game plan for these games is utterly baffling.
For instance, the Bills had one of the worst rushing defenses and Reid and Co, decide just to try to pass against the Bills...and it fell on its face. Meanwhile the Dolphins the next week decide just to rush again the Bills and Achane had over 170+ yards and they won.
The Chiefs have for too long relied on Mahomes to carry the team. O-line deficiencies? No worries, Mahomes can extend plays. Horrible run game? It's ok Mahomes can scramble and he can throw.
This year exposed every weakness the Chiefs had. When you have zero downfield threat, and a weak rushing game...all the opponents know how to defend against you. You clog the intermediate part of the field...as it clogs those middle passing attempts and if the Chiefs do decide to run, well you've got everyone there to crash against our horrible running game.
The game in general seems to have really passed by Reid and Nagy. I think they can turn it around a bit next year but they're going to have to take a really hard look at their play calling/philosophy.
And if the Chiefs continue to be stubborn and refuse to change, I'm calling it now...Mahomes will play somewhere else. That's a fact.
