Nobody is saying he hasn't played bad games this year (the Cinci game in particular was one of the worst in his entire career and weighs that stat down). Yesterday very clearly wasn't one of them for anybody who actually watched the game. [Reply]

I didn't think we'd get to that point and try to defend it instead of saying we should be better than that but here we are.
I mean they graded him poorly in the earlier games on the season. At one point he was around 17th or worse. Currently tied with Geno Smith and Brock Purdy at #10. But the cream rises to the top. He has played better the last 2 games. Mahomes will keep moving up the list and some of the others will fade. We’re seeing Mayfield struggle tonight. Baker not gonna keep up his hot start for 17 games. [Reply]

If you think Mahomes played poorly yesterday and watched the game, the only other explanation is that you have no idea what you were watching. I was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one. [Reply]

The picks didn’t bother me yesterday. Neither one was his fault.
The worst thing he did was miss that wide open deep ball to Worthy. [Reply]

Their whole identity is being the bully. If you punch them back they will fold and go crying to their mommy.
I mentioned that after the AFCCG. Baltimore can bully anyone, except KC. KC bullies Baltimore and forces them to play how the Chiefs want them to. [Reply]
The picks started out being mostly his fault but the last three haven’t been. The luck is gonna start evening out, this week I would say.
They spent all offseason and camp getting the chemistry down between he and Hollywood + Rice. Both gone early, it was always gonna be a work in progress but the identity is getting there. [Reply]

Kelce chirping and toeing the line with taunting the entire game was so good.
You could tell they weren’t used to someone else swaggering around and having the confidence to talk shit to them and it clearly threw them off and made them undisciplined.
That’s the savvy shit the Chiefs are so good at that stats can’t measure and can close the talent difference. [Reply]
