Sometimes it’s best not to even listen to what the mob or media knee-jerk reactions are. The season is not over yet. We still have an effective TE corps, our defense is still playing at a high level, and when the right playcalls/OL performance is executed we’re still capable of making yards on the ground.

The biggest issue this team has is the dropped passes. Chiefster pointed out correctly that you can’t let talent like Hill or Watkins go and not expect a dropoff in WR performance. I’d like to add another name to that list, which I’m surprised hasn’t been brought up more often…Juju Smith-Schuster. Hill, Watkins, and JJ SS all three were capable of fighting for a catch and most of the time would come away with the ball. This has not been the case with the current WR’s.

To address m/c’s points about dumb mob/media “business moves”-

1) Fire Veach? Yeah, sure. Let’s fire the GM that took us from a playoff competitor to a team that went to three of the last four super bowls and won two of them. The people saying this clearly have not thought this plan out, unless they are Broncos/Chargers/Raiders fans.

2) Fire Nagy. Actually there’s a little truth to this, from the standpoint of WR performance. When one or two players perfom poorly, it’s on the players. When they’re all doing it, it’s on the coaching. But that’s as far as that argument goes AFAIC. Reid’s/Mahomes’ playcalling needs to step up and take some responsibility here, too.

3) Mahomes is just going through a challenging year, period. He’s still young with a ton of years ahead to play. Just needs to get better at the mental aspect of this game and realize the league is adjusting to him, and now it’s his time to adjust to what other teams are doing to stiffle him. All the great QBs go through it. My only issue with Mahomes this year is I wish he’d use his legs a bit more and just run.

But it’s okay, radio pundits. I’m sure your pick-of-the-week will rack up yards/points/Lombardi trophies the way PMII did, not a problem at all.
