Mahomes brought it up on postgame. Acknowledged he missed JJSS and didn't see him.
I personally think Mahomes wasn't seeing the field all that well and maybe the Seahawks rolled out coverages he wasn't anticipating. Reminded me of his late season performance against Atlanta a few years back (which should have absolutely been a loss). This time he mitigated the bad throws and seemed more apt to either run or do Alex check downs rather than try to force anything deep.

More damning to the WR's, imo. But clearly showed Mahomes had his B- game on against Seattle. The most concerning thing from all of it is Mahomes continuing to throw at the defenders feet. That's a bad habit that could result in disaster like his drift back habit did in 2020/early 2021. [Reply]
I was sitting in the corner in the direction of the Fox banner top right. Kelce had no visual on that ball until it was catch time. They must have known that if Kelce gets outside of his man that it’s coming his way. It was the craziest yet simple pass and catch I’ve ever seen. Like they see and hear each other telepathically.

Would have been nice to see Mahomes give Skyy a chance to make a play here
OLB doesn't penetrate upfield to disrupt the throwing lane, nor does he have an angle to cut off Skyy towards the sideline. Once again, the space is opened up by a vertical pattern pic.twitter.com/qSvCI0YAbG

good to have these days though, get him sharp for the postseason
I think that's why he is so good, though. He is capable of those throws even on days where he's not seeing the field or gets flummoxed by whatever the D is doing for some reason.
When any QB of our past had an off day, a 15/29 day for 129 yards was just the sort of the ride we were in for. Those three throws just weren't happening.
Another encouraging thing, at least for me, was that in 2021 these days felt accompanied by 2 or so bad picks of him forcing it downfield. The Denver game is a recent example of this, actually. He flat out missed coverages in the second half and forced the ball into the windows anyway. Against SEA he was quick to throw the ball away, and as frustrating as it was to watch, the defense is boosted immensely when they weren't constantly besieged by short fields. [Reply]

Definitely.
I'm all about him hammering the back in the flat until they loosen up the deeper shit because fuck you that's why.
Sidenote: It's good to see Travis beating guys with speed. Seemed like early it was all hook routes and shit smart players do. If we can eek out another year before he falls off athletically I'm here for it.
Sure winning and all that shit, but right now I'm just LOVING watching my guys be elite. I'm trying not to lose the perspective that Travis and Pat are just goddamned special and I can't get so wrapped up in Super Bowls (they're hard to get) that I don't appreciate the ride. Because this shit is FUN.
Throw in guys like Pacheco and McKinnon, Bolton, McDuffie, and Trey Smith annihilating bitches while he pulls, this shit is SO FUN.
I said it in the QB carousel thread, but it bears repeating. I thank God for Mahomes on every snap of football I watch, Chiefs or not. [Reply]

Football used to be a distraction for a few hours on Sunday and then the occasional lulz during the week.
Now it's crack cocaine and I thank my dealer Patrick for that. [Reply]
