We’ve reached the stage of Mahomes’ career where he’s doing the same, it seems to me

I hope Mahomes isn’t super old yet

Burrow is awful.

Poor Chase...nice catch

LeBron started coasting in the regular season more in about 2014. So when he was 29…

Point me to where I said that “Player A” is better than Mahomes and I’ll gladly concede your point.

I’m saying other QBs are playing better so far this season. I don’t really think that’s a hot take.

Can we boot KC Con?

If he wants to bash Mahomes start a thread and leave it out of the Monday Night game thread.

And if he wants to get it together in the regular season, he will. And if he doesn’t, who cares?

Either way, it won’t have an impact on our 3 peat chances.

Then you are severely underestimating his competitiveness. In the offseason he said last year wasn’t a lot of fun and that he wanted them to play better all season. He wants to win Super Bowls but he also wants to be the best every season and he wants to punish opposing defenses. We just saw this against the Bengals when he made it a point to attack Britt with two deep passes.

Bash Mahomes? Somebody needs a reading comprehension course, I think.

I don't think that's entirely accurate. That said, I think he definitely would like the offense to be more efficient. And I'm pretty sure he isn't happy about having his defense bail his ass out every game. I mean, in every single pregame speech to the team, he hammers the word "dominate!" Well, the offense sure as heck isn't dominating lately. And he's well aware of it, and he's not happy about it.

Actions speak louder than words and his lack of focus in these games for the 2nd year in a row speaks to what he thinks about the regular season these days.

He played well in the Ravens game (easily our toughest opponent so far with the best defense),, though, so it’s no doubt there if he wants it to be.
