He hasn't been double covered since at least the Chiefs game. He is just plain getting swallowed up against single man coverage. At least when he was getting bracketed it was opening other things up. As of right now nothing is getting opened up because no one can win their basic 1v1 assignment.

Quality of passing weapons is by far the 2nd biggest indicator of offensive success (obviously QB #1) in the modern NFL. Like did Andy Reid forget how to coach offense this year? This year especially the best offenses have multiple very good or better pass catchers. Our offense doesn't even have one very good pass catcher right now. It really is that simple.

If we want a substantial improvement in offensive coaching, it will have to come at the top. That's the reality. So if McDermott is here for the long haul we should probably start seriously investing in the offensive weapons to compensate for the inevitable less than elite offensive coaching.

Can't wait to hear Mahomes complain about that garbage intentional grounding penalty after the game. Since he genuinely cares about officiating fairness and all.

We came into the season knowing that we didn't have a #2 WR on the roster. Now it turns out we don't have a true #1 either. We have no speed, no YAC ability, below average separation and catch ability from our WR corps. That's why our passing offense has looked so inconsistent, there is zero margin for error.

So the problem is that that's our only consistent positive yardage passing play. Our WRs are not consistently separating downfield. So I think Brady is just trying to engineer some kind of rhythm in the passing offense. Not an easy needle to thread when Diggs is playing like nothing more than a decent #2 and everyone behind him is a JAG, not to mention our IOL has been pretty bad for a few weeks now.

I thought he was worse in 2021. Hill and Kelce in their prime so no excuses. He was big play hunting too frequently and turning down open receivers. He pretty much single handedly lost them the AFCCG that year too. This year I don't think he's the problem with the offense at all, he's the only reason they move the ball at all.

I've watched a ton of Chiefs games over the past few years. Mahomes has always had some ball placement issues over the years, that has never been his strength. He just can't get away with it because his pass catchers are giving him zero help. It is the year of the playmaker and a couple AFC contenders are falling awfully short on that front.

It's tough to hit a deep pass to a WR with average speed and average catch radius. Very low margin for error on that throw.

I find it interesting that this is the conclusion a lot of people are drawing, instead of what I think is the obvious conclusion - his poor weapons and average OL give him a very low margin for error. Every missed pass or bad play is magnified tenfold because nobody else on their offense is making plays for him. I'd like to think I'm somewhat of an expert on this topic having watched every snap Josh Allen has ever taken.

Knox dropped a pass exactly like the pass MVS just dropped and everyone on here said the ball was thrown behind him.

He was not inaccurate in the 2nd half. He missed the one deep throws to Diggs, that was all. Our biggest problem by far on offense is pass catchers. They don't separate, they don't catch well, they don't get a lot of YAC. Kincaid and Shakir were just good enough today to make it happen. The rest were almost invisible.

McDermott saw the shotgun run for no yardage developing and smartly called a TO and knocked some sense into Brady

Ugh Diggs needed to stay inside there. Just handed them a free TO

Diggs one on one is not a great matchup unfortunately

Possible game saving tackle by Taron there

Martin has been lights out today

Sherfield is awful!! He does nothing right.

That wasn't a screen. He wanted Diggs but he got swallowed up by his coverage man. He checked it down to Cook.

Diggs is getting swallowed up off his release

Why do we run it out?? I hate this coaching staff so much sometimes

Giving up 20+ points to the Pats twice this season is embarrassing

We have been badly out coached in the 2nd half

I love other teams regularly making circus catches
