The funny thing is we're irritated after a 10 point win and 8-4 record.
I think fans, and even the team, got spoiled and became arrogant (see all the reckless 4th down tries) about how easy things should come to the offense, as if it were an inevitability that we'd put up 30+ every game. It was very similar to the issues the Chiefs had for most of the year until they were humbled and forced to reign themselves back in.
I think McCarthy could sense it with his comments about needing to "win ugly", the offensive success just came way too easily over the first half of the year and I think the players will have to humble themselves and lock back in.
It was also kind of a perfect storm with the Elliott injury hampering the running game and the rotating cast of WR's due to injury messing up chemistry in the passing game. I still have hope that they can get back to the level they were at pre-bye but they're going to have to be honest with themselves and re-focus.
