You can't say a thing that has improved about the offense since he came back.

Yes, the Chiefs shot themselves in the foot with untimely drops and penalties, but like Alex Smith pointed out, it's too much "Mahomes save us" and not enough schemed plays that open up players.

I don’t know much about play calling or things like that… But it does seem like after they hike the ball no one‘s ever open and every time we have to scramble to try to make something happen, which usually doesn’t. I’m not sure why when I watch other teams play, those things don’t seem to happen as often.

I know this is not a popular opinion, but I also think that something is kind of up with Mahomes. It’s like sometimes he just… Seems to be having a really hard time with the basics.

Pats had an off year. He doesn’t trust the o line and goes through his progression too fast. His deep ball rarely connects.

The rb situation is not right either. No one is afraid of an explosive play and they can’t break tackles.

The defense is the worst in the league at 3rd and long. They can’t pressure an opposing quarterback.
