And if the 2 point conversion fails then people would be saying “Why would you go for it against that defense in Arrowhead instead of having a chance in Overtime!?!?!?” Always convenient that your visions of hindsight forsee the correct outcome. [Reply]

He's a rookie who was going to be brought along slowly like most rookie WR's in an Andy run offense. Due to injuries, he's thrown into the fire. I hope he's not stupid, it was just a rookie mistake that wont happen again. But, Veach doesn't usually draft stupid kids out of college. So, I'm still on the Brown train.
I've said this for years but "He was open on X throw" just means so very little to me.
Guys are open on throws almost every single down. QBs complete about 2/3 of their passes, right? So lets assume an average QB throws 15 incomplete passes in every game. And I'm gonna say there's someone 'open' on at least 10 of those most games. And hell, on COMPLETIONS there are usually guys open downfield that would've been better plays. It's just the nature of football.
Missed shots is one thing (and yeah, Mahomes has missed a couple of those. Damn I'd have liked to have seen that deep ball to Watson thrown to Xavier because Mahomes put GREAT touch and arc on that ball. Juuuuuuust a little more speed from a guy who's slightly better at tracking the ball and you have a 6). But "he was open on 4 plays where he didn't get the ball" is Skyy Moore stuff. [Reply]

I think he'll be fine, but he's got to step up his field recognition and intensity. That was a completely regrettable performance, and deserving of getting your ass benched...if we actually had someone that could take his place. He's lucky we are so razor thin at WR.
Hopefully he bounces back and has a better game vs the Donks. [Reply]

Yeah, I don't buy that for a minute.
That entire stadium sat there confused as Bowles sent the kick team out. And when it was obvious it wasn't any sort of ruse, the relief was palpable.
I suspect that was the consensus on Twitter and the folks at home as well.
When the other team is elated at the decision you've made, you've probably made the wrong decision. And literally every Chiefs fan, coach and player knew that Bowles was making the decision most likely to give Mahomes a chance to win that game for them.
No, I don't think he'd have gotten beaten up for that at all. Because nobody expected Bowles to do that even as the Bucs drive started. We all assumed that was a 'game on the line' drive. Nobody expected OT there. [Reply]
Maybe a vet gets both feet in but Worthy caught the ball where it was thrown. But oh woe is me field awareness! Over Reaction Planet is on par once again. [Reply]
I mean, everybody was calling for the two point conversion before they even scored the touchdown... the guys on ESPN were talking about it before they scored and there were several mentions of it in this thread and on Twitter.
