Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

That play is really on Mahomes. That should have been a quick pass into the end zone or you throw that one into the dirt then kick the field goal.
I figured Andy would have an assortment of quick hitters to the end zone and we might actually get 3 plays if necessary. Should've been 28-10 easy. Then on the last drive of regulation they should've scored the go-ahead TD too. It was just a massive choke by Mahomes like we've rarely seen. Whatever Popeye spinach he had flowing through him vs Pittsburgh and Buffalo ran out with 9 seconds to go in the first half of the AFC Championship game. [Reply]

Seems more often than not when this situation arises in a game the refs give the TO back. I've seen that happen many times but on Championship Sunday they decided not to. That said we lost this game because of redzone execution. [Reply]
According to my Facebook memories, we won Super Bowl 54 2 years ago today. Seeing that made me a little sad, but for perspective:
In the four seasons that Mahomes has been starting, we've hosted four straight Championship games, went to two Super Bowls, and won one Super Bowl. Literally going to the AFCCG 100% of the time, going to the Super Bowl 50% of the time and winning the Super Bowl 25%.
Even Tom Brady went to the Super Bowl less than half the time he was in the league and won the Super Bowl about 30% of the time.
We've had a pretty decent run with ol' Patty cakes. These last four seasons have been SO much more fun than the ones that preceded them. Remember consistently getting bounced in the Wild Card Round? lol [Reply]
A candid Patrick Mahomes: "Creed [Humphrey's] just a football player... he doesn't even care. He wears Crocs around the building." https://t.co/EoWqQgv0tc
Came here to post that. Man Herbert towers over him. Mahomes better be networking the shit out of potential FAs or trades.
It's good to see these guys having fun. I wonder if part of what got to them on Sunday was the prospect of three years in a row of Superbowl media hype grind. Like in the backs of their minds were they even looking forward to going to another Superbowl? I don't think they wanted to lose. But something like that may be why the Bengals looked a lot hungrier.

Long after the AFC was done practicing for the Pro Bowl today in Las Vegas, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce stayed to sign autographs for the fans. They were the last ones to leave the field before the NFC arrived for their practice session. pic.twitter.com/TamhheowC8

I posted about that at some point too. There is only so much hunger a person or team can have...after 4 years of super highs, at some point you just don't have that edge any more. Perhaps coming down from the hights and being out of the spot light will be good for all of them. I don't think they wanted to lose either, but they didn't want it as bad as the Bungles did. They just can't have that same desire and fire all of the time. They don't even realize it I'll bet. [Reply]

If they're still active attention whores next season then Patrick's complacent letting them be distractions
How do we know they are distracting him?
Were they distracting him in the first 10 quarters of the playoffs when he had 12 touchdowns (an NFL postseason record)? [Reply]
