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]

Definitely a worthy theory because he showed no signs of anything like this coming. [Reply]

Is Clark Hunt gonna allow Howie Roseman to play the void year games? Veach is not allowed to do it, which is like tying your hands behind your back while the other teams are doing everything possible to load their rosters. [Reply]

I'm saying that when he's right, that still doesn't happen. He slides a bit into that wide open space in front of him or he 'folds' with the contact enough to keep that sort of complete misfire from happening.
It was indicative of how out of sorts he was. That's just not something we seem him do in situations where he's taking far more contact in far more of a maelstrom than that.
Gotcha. Baun was right there in the middle so he was trying to thread that needle and got bumped. Unfortunate play for us. [Reply]

I would thinj it would be a little easier to get leverage on guys on turf rather than grass. They certainly bulldozed us alot. [Reply]

I was enraged and stunned after the Bengals AFCCG loss.
Both Super Bowl losses I was pretty much over it by halftime. What can you really get emotional about if you’re just straight up getting worked over by a better team?
I’m already on to next season. If we had lost a heartbreaker I’d probably feel terrible right now.
I'll never splurge for SB tickets... I'd be fucking pissed right now if I spent that kind of money on that. At least last night, I could just turn it off and flip on Netflix at like 9pm. [Reply]

I mean, I ****ing have EYES. I know better, PFF. But hey, I think "well maybe I'm missing something in their grading..."
Thuney gave up 6 pressures and a sack by their own grading system. Taylor? 2 pressures, zero sacks.
And graded worse than Thuney.
I mean **** me, why do they even bother? They clearly just made shit up for that grade. It makes zero sense. In theory a 60+ grade is adequate. Not good, but pretty much a fringe starting caliber performance. That most assuredly is not what we got at LT on Sunday.
I mean you say Thuney was as bad as Kingsley and honestly, you might be doing a disservice to Kingsley. I'm re-watching this as well and am just FLOORED by how bad Thuney was.
I have no ****ing clue what a 'Jalyx Hunt' is, but I saw him simply run straight through Thuney's chest like the guy wasn't even there. I mean its play after play after play.
As bad as it seemed in real-time, it's worse on rewatch. He embarrassed himself. I don't know that I've ever seen a guy look that overmatched that routinely.
Wow. Just...wow.
One thing that was pretty evident since Thuney took over at LT was is tendency to get bull rushed into Patrick. I am sure the Eagles picked up on this in their film study and made this a point of emphasis. [Reply]
The KCSN guys made an interesting point that this was the first opponent that had two weeks to study our revamped o-line. Would assume given the result it made a huge difference to figure out a strong gameplan to attack Thuney more efficiently than our other opponents [Reply]

Wasn't that complicated. Bullrush. Rinse. Repeat. [Reply]

Absolutely.
They very clearly planned on just attacking straight through Thuney's chest.
Nobody was even really trying to string moves together. They were just looking to drive him backwards and he really presented no opposition to it at all. [Reply]

It's not that simple.
The problem with RPOs is sometimes the best blocked runs are passed up#Chiefs started with 2 RPOs. Both times, Pat reads the play-side LB tight in the box so he pulls. Beats zone first, but the 2nd is just betting on 1v1 in space
Not pivoting to Humphries is inexplicable. A 3rd round rookie from Christian Houston University made Thuney his bitch repeatedly. It's just nonsensical. Thuney is the same player that completely neutralized Aaron Donald once upon a time. [Reply]

As reported by Sal Palantonio before the game, Fangio was looking to take advantage of the turf in the Super Dome... [Reply]

Complete team collapse. Way easier for me to stomach than the Patriots loss (where Dee Ford lost it for us) or the Bengals (where Patrick lost it), but yeesh, Fangio went belt to ass from the first drive and no one from our OL, to Patrick, to our coaching staff had a counter. We saw desperation Patrick emerge to try to do something, and we got a pick 6 that more or less took us out of the game from that point on. [Reply]
