Mahomes ain't doing crap with these receivers. The Chiefs have regressed now with Rice out and Kelce diminished.
That Mahomes pick yesterday was a direct result of him trying to force the ball to Kelce so the naysayers would just shut up. I do believe Nagy being there instead of Bieniemy is part of the reason for this. And Reid actually giving him play calling duties.
You can always tell during the course of the game when he is calling plays and when Reid takes over. For example, that play at the end where the Chiefs sealed the game was a classic Reid call. When the offense looks like dog crap there is just no imagination to the calls. That's Nagy IMO.
This team will win this year because of the defense. Not because of the offense. Their receivers as it currently stands simply cannot get open.
Do you think they will try and land someone via trade?
That's a good question that I've been pinging around in my brain for the last 12 hours. If they want to 3-peat I think they have to. The problem is the Reid offense is not an easy offense for someone just to come in a pick up. So it would have to be a guy smart enough to pick up a complex offense quickly.
Plus it's going to take some serious draft capital to get someone worthwhile in my opinion. And while Veach is generally aggressive, I'm not sure he would be reckless here just to try for the 3 in a row. The Chiefs D is good enough to allow them to win like they did last year.
One guy that we may see is Nikko Remigio called up from the practice squad. He has had some really good training camps and this may be his time.
