The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs have began a season 0-2 for the primary time since their final playoff-less marketing campaign in 2014, with Patrick Mahomes 0-2 for the primary time in his profession.
So the place is it going mistaken for this storied franchise which has reached 5 of the final six Tremendous Bowls, profitable three of them, and are we witnessing the start of the tip of their dynasty?
Sky Sports activities’ Neil Reynolds and Phoebe Schecter did their finest to reply this on the newest Inside The Huddle Podcast, placing the Chiefs’ struggles all the way down to the dearth of weapons Mahomes has out there to him on offense.
“They’ve turned Mahomes into the biggest, most famous and most expensive ‘game manager’ ever,” Reynolds mentioned.
“It is not his fault, it is what’s round him. So he is having to take off operating, and he is throwing little passes right here and there, as a result of there is not a lot else.
“If we took the names off the again of the jerseys, put them in a impartial color so we did not know who it was, you would be impressed with the quarterback, however you would be like, ‘I do not imagine in that workforce’.
“We won’t write them off as a result of they have been in three-straight Tremendous Bowls, and Mahomes and [head coach] Andy Reid are there. However, if you happen to take the names off the jerseys, this does not look nice.
“They really miss [injured] Xavier Worthy and they’re obviously going to miss [suspended] Rashee Rice, but in the meantime it’s just a struggle.
“They have not had a 1,000-yard receiver since Tyreek Hill left the constructing in 2021. I believe it is time to name Tyreek house.”
Hill is at present experiencing his personal issues with the Miami Dolphins, caught on a workforce that is performing even worse – beginning the season 0-3 – after having mentioned he needed out following their failure to make the playoffs final season.
Hill has since walked again these feedback, however Schecter mentioned: “I think Tyreek would be up for that, to be honest with you.
“He needs to get the ball. He needs to be with a quarterback who understands his talent set, and he needs to be on a profitable workforce.”
The Chiefs aren’t a winning team at the moment, but Schecter feels an addition like Hill before the November 4 trade deadline could get the offense back firing.
“You look at the Chiefs offense, their team used to be really good on third down, but there’s no answer to the test anymore,” she added.
“Mahomes is all they’ve. You actually take a look at this workforce and assume, ‘who will we go to?’ I could not let you know.
“Travis Kelce did not have his best game last week [in the loss to Philadelphia Eagles], and that interception in the red zone was very uncharacteristic, but it still happened – and it didn’t look great, it wasn’t very athletic looking.
“After which who else do you’ve gotten? Usually Andy Reid is so artistic, however I do not belief anyone on that offense proper now, aside from Mahomes, to be artistic and to make one thing occur.”
