The head coach owns his OC's play calls in that situation. Ultimately it all falls on him.

You don't need anymore games to know that Raheem Morris isn't head coach material. Let's be honest, they should be 0-3. And everyone can see it's the coaching before anything else.

Why is Allgier in on that run and not Bijan? Atlanta's offensive coaching is hopeless. It's a miracle that they are in a position to win this.

They don't trust him to throw the ball forward. This peewee horizontal crap isn't gonna get the job done

Kirk looks so awkward throwing the ball. The blitzes are really getting to him.

Well that was definitely not DPI lol so I'll consider that the make up call I guess...

Yeah in slow motion that is textbook DPI. Refs afraid to make a call that decided the game but only when the Chiefs are involved for some reason.

Hmmm I don't know if that's definitely DPI but I've sure seen it called DPI many many times.

Yikes Atlanta got lucky. I thought the ball was starting to wobble a bit before his elbow touched the ground.

Jesus, Kirk's throwaways are so dangerous.

The scary thing is they aren't even doing anything special. Just basic runs up the middle, crossing routes, and WR screens. Mahomes hasn't needed to create any magic. So basic, almost boring, and it's dominating the opponent.

Wtf why would you all out blitz Mahomes on 3rd down...

I jinxed him. You're welcome everyone.

@Buffalo716 Rice already at 113 yards with 20 minutes left in the game... Will almost certainly be averaging over 100 YPG by the time this game is over. He is not Justin Jefferson but he is closer to that leve than he is to Khalil Shakir.

Really hard to make a living in the modern NFL with a completely immobile QB.

Atlanta is getting destroyed up front on this drive

He didn't look particularly special in week 1 either. He looked like a guy that ran the fastest 40 time in combine history.

I didn't see the play in question so I can't comment on it. A lot of the supposed holds from last week's Chiefs game were not in fact holds though. I don't need to scold anyone. It's how the rule is written.

His arm was hit, but even as he went to throw it you could tell he knew it was a bad idea and he led his arm right into the defender. He was flinching as he finished his throwing motion.

That has nothing to do with Kirk getting hit as he throws. That is just an awful decision and a weak throw.

Another pass that Mahomes is off on. Rough start to the season by his standards. Not that it will ultimately matter, I've learned my lesson, but it's notable.

If that's your strict definition of #1 WR then that explains this entire conversation.

He's pacing for 1,479 yards over his last 8 games... That's not a hot start, that's a trend. He meets all the qualities of a true #1. He's clearly his team's go-to WR, he gets a lot of targets, he's pacing for top tier production, and he can win from all spots in the formation and at every level of the field. I don't really know what the opposing argument is here.

Andy Reid is notorious for having his WRs under produce if anything. Once had an entire season with the Chiefs where the WRs scored 0 TDs. Tyreek Hill became even more productive when he went to Miami. I don't know why Bills fans want to downplay Rashee Rice's abilities. The guy is a scumbag and also an extremely talented WR that would be a #1 caliber guy anywhere he went.

Which Andy Reid receiver was getting 1,500 yards without being a true #1? Or even over 1,000 for that matter. I mean we can all agree 1,000 yards in a season is the bare minimum expectation for a true #1 WR.
