It SHOULD be like taking candy from a baby. And it would have been if Mahomes’ had a better deep ball than I do. His just blows dicks and there’s not much more to it than that.
Keep everything the same but replace Mahomes in that exact moment with Josh Allen, Burrow, hell even Lamar, does anyone doubt that ball gets housed?
I love Mahomie but his deep ball sucks and it has never gotten better since he entered the league. At this point it just is what it is.

It is frustrating to go through these games for sure. But they always turn it on in the playoffs. I’m not going to worry about it too much. [Reply]

Quit fucking over your struggling o line, and by extension, fucking over your qb, by giving Hunt and Pacheco a measly 7 carries each on the day.
Felt like a loooooong time between Pacheco busting loose, then the short gain, and the next handoff. Ton of pass plays in a row.
This was Buffalo game all over again. Tackles getting fisted, running game abandoned. [Reply]

Nah, I love Mahomes and depending on how things shake out, really want him to retire a Chief.
But I can recognize his flaws.
Best thing to do is shore up the OL. I think bad OLmplay has really had a trickle down effect on his play. His internal clock is sped up, he’s taking hits on like half his drop backs, he’s taking his eyes off the downfield receivers to watch the rush, he’s missing wide open guys when the pocket is clean, he’s making one read then bailing clean pockets, etc.
We really need to fix the OL and apparently Andy finally got the memo. [Reply]

We average like 1.8 YPC outside of the one Pacheco run, dude. Running was a wasted down today. [Reply]
