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]

It's ironic that we scored 44, because that's the exact amount of loads I've blown since the game ended yesterday thinking about how unstoppable Mahomes is when he gets pockets like the o-line gave him yesterday.

He got away with a pretty blatant illegal hands to the face, though.
You rock a DE's head back like that and you'll get called for it 9 times out of 10. Especially when you're Andrew Wylie and he's Nick Bosa.
I feel like Wylie's gotten dinged for that 2-3 times already this year. He's gotta be more careful with those hands. I know it's a dogfight for him because he's giving up an athletic advantage on pretty much every rep, but man - you can't take points off the board because you missed your punch. [Reply]

True, but man it's good to see him gutting it up and fighting for it. It doesn't hurt that Smith is coming out of whatever injury issues were bothering him early on. This line has potential to be very good as a unit. They were very good in spurts last year. Tackles are the weak spot but they both played well yesterday. [Reply]

Wylie, as much as any OL we've had in a long time, NEEDS a competent runningmate.
Because Wylie is self-made, man. He's a battler and a grinder and a hell of a story. He doesn't quit on reps and he doesn't take plays off. He rarely just mentally vapor locks either.
He's just a physically limited player. He doesn't have great feet. He's not exceptionally powerful. He's a guy that's going to be fighting uphill on virtually every snap.
Smith being someone he can count on inside is paramount, especially if he also gets a little help on the outside from a chip here and there.
You give him that and he's going to give you a yeoman's effort out there. Nothing spectacular, but he can get the job done. But he NEEDS Trey Smith playing to the level he was playing at last year.
It's just a new normal that we have to get used to. We don't have Mitchell Schwartz out there playing at a legit HoF level. We don't have an athletic technician like Fisher at LT. We're gonna have get more complementary OL play and at times, uglier OL play.
And as fans we're gonna have to accept that. Because this is how most of the world lives, fellas. Loooooots of teams have worse OLs than we have. [Reply]

Patrick Mahomes has a 13-9 record when his team trails by 10+ points. These are the numbers in those game - starting when his team trails by 10. It’s 13.6 games worth of playing time
Through a QB's first 70 career starts, no one in the Super Bowl era has more wins than Patrick Mahomes. He’s 55-15. When facing a 10+ point deficit, he’s now somehow 13-9, a .590 win percentage. The rest of the NFL has a .150 win percentage in such games. #ChiefsKingdom@KCTV5pic.twitter.com/lFJ0O9spLI

If I'm thinking of the play that you're talking about here, I think I remember that Bosa deflected Wylie's hand upwards, which is how he ended up grabbing Bosa's facemask.
But he's also been dinged for that at least one or two other times in other games, so your point still stands, he needs to try to keep his hands lower.
Not a fan of Wylie being our RT or any OT, but he has played fairly well all things considered, as I've said a few times this season. Of course, Andy scheming things to help him out has been a big factor as well. Thank God we have Andy. [Reply]
