And the players on this offense have to be pretty frustrated with how different the games were called on the offensive side of the ball. All after averaging over 34 for most of the first half of the season. They have the QB and talent on offense to be very very good. But for some reason, it became overly cautious, fear based play calling. Take what the defense gives you, adjust and get it done. They almost seemed to refuse to adjust to what a defense was giving them. That's on coaching as much as anything. And Russ seemed to lose his confidence at times and/or had the "don't turn the ball over" crap in his head from Pete over and over again. Not playing to the strength of your QB is a waste.
A TOTAL waste. There is still time to win superbowls, but it's now or never. Pete has to evolve or retire.
There will be no more sb wins with mahomes and Josh playing. Teams also have figured Wilson out so making payoffs will be extremely difficult.
