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]

He had open guys and decided to run it, many times he had a tight, but ok pocket and his eyes weren't staying downfield. He would have quick 3 step reads and wasn't pulling the trigger. Made some really bad decision on balls as well and it could have been even worse. It was eerily similar to the 2nd half of the Bengals AFCCG 2 years ago. He was easily frazzled most of the game and didn't seem to have control between plays/presnap. It was like the whole team was in a funk
....you were disappointed we didn't run a more horizontal game... I'm not sure what game you were watching because that's literally all we did. [Reply]

We ran little if any jet motion, or attempted no jet sweeps to keep the ends honest. We ran little if any under crossing routes. We threw some screens and some quicks and nows, but that's not going to hold the edge like a Jet sweep or motion. The one time we did run Pacheco out of wildcat, and the fake to Mahomes for the TD which took advantage of their edges crashing every play. It may be a product of having Toney and Mecole out, but it was strange not to see more motion/sweeps incorporated into the game with the Raiders edge strategy today. [Reply]

Spent a large chunk of the game with negative yardage on short/horizontal passing plays and rushing attempts [Reply]

Maybe, but Pat can't play that way, he needs to do his job, period. He was as bad as I've seen on doing his job today, not only during the actual play, but between and presnap, he just seem out of it, like the AFCCG against the Bengals 2 years ago. It was bizarre. [Reply]
I’m sick of hearing excuses. The receiver room only lost JuJu and added Rice. The man makes $50 Million per year. Put it on the receiver in tight windows like he has for years. Make them drop it.
Too much dancing and indecisiveness. That shit worked when 87 was younger and they had Hill but now they’re slow and old. 1-2-3 throw the fucking ball. [Reply]

I get that "NFL open" is your new go to phrase, but no, he's not open unless your definition of open is the split second before you run into another zone defender and he carries you the rest of your route.
I really want you to pin point the moment Mahomes should have thrown it and what you think #25 would have done. [Reply]

Yes, again, talking about Jet motion, and sweeps and short crossers. Little if any of this today which was strange with the Raiders Edge strategy. [Reply]
