The generous officiating they receive is typically reserved for game changing moments but they have to still put themselves in position to benefit from the close calls that go their way and they haven't been as magical offensively as they used to be.
I'm not saying the 45 years of darkness is on the horizon but it does look like things are getting a little stale and Reid who's one of the greatest offensive play callers in history IMO probably even getting a little long on the tooth and closer to retirement. Once he steps away things could go south even with Mahomes. Spagnuolo is no spring chicken himself so in a few years who knows what happens with this organization.

The rushing game is a worry but TBH that's the only real worry.
The receiving core will figure it out eventually and with Kelce, Brown, Rice, Worthy, Thornton and Juju they will have enough talent.
