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]

You will hold the L this week. You earned it.
Rice put up numbers that equal/exceed the numbers your hero put up on a weekly basis last season. Meanwhile Mahomes biffed a sight read that led to a game altering interception after you insisted he was infallible last week and any issues with the offense MUST be on the receiving corps.
Nah...I don't feel like there are any Ls to be taken here, sport. [Reply]

ADOT is handing you an L. You are holding it, whether you like it or not.
Mahomes, too, shares blame, but it's time for everyone to realize - most have - that Rice is not 2022 JuJu. Certainly he hasn't been for much of this season, which has created problems. [Reply]

Somebody mentioned somewhere that the dudes don’t look like they’re having nearly as much fun this year. That goes for Pat, Kelce, Chris Jones.. [Reply]

Sports are always more fun when you're winning. Doubly so when you're winning and kicking ass in the process.
They're coming off the high of winning a title and are struggling a fair bit even in their wins. If they looked like they were enjoying themselves as much as last year, THAT would be the strange part.
This? Nah - this makes sense. This season has been a slog. [Reply]

I’ve done a complete 180 on that trade and regret greatly now and would take it back in a millisecond….
The focus of this team every year Mahomes is upright should be to construct an elite offense and live with a mid/mediocre/average defense… [Reply]

2022 proved our offense can be a #1 offense without Hill. Mahomes was simply unbelievable last year and I think it's easy for us to take that for granted. It wasn't his 2018-2019 Legion of Zoom, but instead he proved he could turn on a Brady/Brees precision with an assassin like quality on 3rd downs (whether by using his legs, finding an escape hatch with McKinnon, or doing what he had to invent). This is the second time where defenses have seemed to catch up to his style (2021 being the first). But Patrick has reinvent himself to lead a number one offense in multiple ways.
It's just going to be harder to sustain a number one offense without Hill. We've also seen a pattern with Veach, a hole develops (2018 with our defense, 2020 with our offensive line, 2021 when our patched up defense started straining), and he then is hellbent to fix it that next offseason. It's not the most proactive approach, but compare it to the Bills, who were proactive as could be building the perfect team in free agency, and are now in cap hell and look very much like they may have missed Allen's first window.
So far Veach's track record is pretty stellar by holding a strong core and patching holes as they develop, I have no doubt he'll go on to find weapons for Patrick this offseason -- and as Patrick has proven, he can chameleonize himself with the strengths of his offense. [Reply]
The problem with inconsistent WR play is it can get the QB gunshy or not as anticipative#Chiefs get a 1-high look, attack w/ 2 verticals on same side. Once the Safety turns with Watson, MVS has a lot of room to work with across field
