I'm not sure it'll ever stop being hilarious that a dude can throw for 8 YPA, 3 total TDs, no turnovers, only take one sack and it's considered a bad game. [Reply]

That would a career game for the QB Mahomes replaced. [Reply]

Honestly, I wish there were more TT fans that followed along (how many Alex only fans did we have here? At least 3, right?)
A handful.
They elevated they level of football discussion here *so* much. [Reply]
I'm all about him hammering the back in the flat until they loosen up the deeper shit because **** 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.
Agreed. The past few years have been the most fun I've ever had with football.
But as entertaining as Patrick Mahomes II is, it would be depressing to see him if he had been drafted by another team. I had fifty years of watching good quarterbacks on other teams. I did not need any more of that.

There is nothing a defense can do to stop that. Nothing.
That play happened sorta in front of us at about a 2 o'clock angle so you could see the throw and where the DB was perfectly. It STILL looked like a Madden glitch.
My wife just looks at me and says "how'd he even catch that?"
Because it was an absolute dime, dear. It was just a dime. Perfect defense and it just didn't matter. [Reply]

Still have no idea how ESPN graded it a 34/100 QBR. He wasn't great, but he also got screwed by WR drops. At least 3-4 of them on 3rd down to kill drives. They graded him 70/100 in the Denver game when he had the 3 bad INT's. I would reverse the grades on those two games. [Reply]

His ball placement was off most of the day, IMO.
Balls high/low/left/right by a couple of feet. And in cold weather, you're really asking for trouble because if the ball's not right on target, that hard ball and cold hands is gonna be a drop far more often than it isn't.
A couple of those drops were just bad drops {cough}Watson{coughcough} but a couple more were just bad ball placement making for a tough catch in hard catch conditions. And on a couple of catches there were balls where we got zip for YAC yards because he jammed up his receiver with a bad(ish) ball.
He wasn't great writ large. But I choose to remember that throw to Kelce because it was seemingly impossibly perfect. [Reply]
