Despite win, Kansas City fans have questions about Chiefs offense and Patrick Mahomes
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The bottom line is the Chiefs got the win on Sunday, beating the Green Bay Packers 13-7 at Arrowhead Stadium.
But Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for just 166 yards, completing 20 of 37 passes with a touchdown and no interceptions.
It was the fewest passing yards in a full game for Mahomes. The previous low was 174 yards in a 31-21 win over the Chargers on Dec. 29, 2019. That was the seventh time in the last eight games that Mahomes had thrown for fewer than 300 yards, too.
Although he came up with some big throws on the Chiefs’ final drive, fans wondered what was happening with Mahomes and the offense.
Mahomes is looking worse and worse every offensive series, lol. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom

I am literally tired of seeing the long bomb from Mahomes. Stop forcing it. Please. #ChiefsKingdom

Exactly

Some tough questions need to be asked if this entire organization. Starting up top with Reid and most certainly Patrick. They are regressing every week and getting worse. This is pathetic.

When was the last time in the Mahomes era could you honestly say the Defense bailed out the offense in a game? #ChiefsKingdom

On Reddit, one user wrote: “EA curse didn’t really work on Mahomes the first time so the second time was the charm.”
Another wrote: “So since I missed the first 3 1/2 quarters, why isn’t it like 50 to nothing? We have Mahomes and Kelce and Hill and it’s like 13 to 7? Just asking a question”
Reid and that offense should be embarrassed. Just keep giving the packers opportunities smh time of possession is crazy #chiefskingdom

He’s missing that sparkle & fire in his eyes which also throws Kelce & Hill off & the rest of the team

I can't believe I'm typing this. Henne would probably move the ball better right now. Embarrassing offense. They are lucky Rodgers has Covid. #ChiefsKingdom

I am at a loss for words! This offense has done a complete 180 in half a season! #ChiefsKingdom

It’s crazy how the @Chiefs D and Special Teams looking better each week. Wish the offense would catch up #ChiefsKingdom

Just a theory, but I think the turf toe rehab and lack of throwing in the off-season really affected him. The accuracy, touch and feel just aren’t the same. He’ll eventually figure it out. https://t.co/L3FlUdbXKI

Once again not a pretty win by any means but a W is a W! Our offense including @PatrickMahomes needs their confidence back. Just aren't clicking. You are the best so lets start playing like the best! #ChiefsKingdom @Chiefs

A Reddit user wrote: “Definitely some drops, but also missed open receivers. Just not remotely like the Mahomes we know from before.”
Another wrote: “Hopefully that last play gives Mahomes some sort of confidence. He needs it.”
