I am going to go with the defense allowing 32 points a game
Mahomes has looked off a lot this season.
You do realize Mahomes is on pace for 54 TDs?
I agree with this. I think our ridiculous success for 2 decades has crushed the rest of the NFL in terms of expectations. And with Brady continuing to dominate in the NFC, it has been almost a triple mind blow.There is nothing wrong with the chiefs. Staying on top is basically impossible. They had an excellent three year run - like most dominant teams - that resulted in one SB.
Understanding “what’s wrong with KC” (which is ‘nothing’) is step one towards appreciating the ridiculous success of NE since 2001.
Mahomes isn't on a rookie contract anymore. Chiefs were stacked early on because mahomes was making $700k. Now they paid mahomes, hill, Kelce
And there's no money left for the defense.
From the games I’ve seen, my general impression was the offense is still pretty good but a bit wishy-washy, and the defense is hot garbage. When they get behind because of their crap defense they can’t catch fire on offense the way they used to. But they seem to think they can, so their effort isn’t the greatest until they fall behind…
It does not get mentioned enough but Mahomes was picked at 10 and sat his rookie season because he was not a traditional QB and needed to learn to play the position more traditionally. Perhaps the mistake the Chiefs have made is not forcing him to play more within the game earlier but that being said, he is making a lot of mistakes when he is asked to do that because he has a lot of bad habits fundamentally and he is not patient. I think he can improve and will improve but the overall construction of the team is a mess. From his contract to the poor drafting especially on defense.Teams figured out that if you take away the broken play homeruns and force Mahomes to actually play the position in the short game, he's not great at it. Also, the dumb throws he constantly makes are getting picked off now.
Also also, that defense suuuuuuuucks.

This goes back to the player vs coach discussion. Spagnuolo was considered a genius when he led those Giant defenses to two SBs over the Pats. Now that he has nothing to work with he's a bum.ABCEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
I've always said this but Brady ran the O and Bill ran the D. It was the perfect match because Brady was THAT good that he did not need an offensive minded HC and Bill was THAT good that he could game plan to stop most any offense. They also got matched up when Bill was young, age 49. Just so many variables for other teams to try to have all in line and I have not even gotten to the stable ownership.What the Patriots did is unprecedented. But even the Patriots went 10 years without winning a Superbowl. From 2004-2014. Brady just covered up for the roster deficiencies in some of those years while they rebuilt.
