Great escape by Mahomes ... but he has such an advantage because defenders are afraid to hit him full force as he tightropes the sideline. It's almost not fair.
I'm not exaggerating here: I think this kind of rope a dope is garbage, especially when you whine the second you get nicked a half step out of bounds. QBs, when they scramble, should be treated as running backs. Period. https://t.co/hQhUWSJoqb
Watch everyone slow up because they dont want to hit a QB late who is going out of bounds. This is the like the fake slide, not some amazing athletic feat. https://t.co/e1EyEMFwml

:-) - 53 overruns the play. 90 and 91 let up for sure because they think 53 has him, and then they bite slightly on the ball fake. They fucked up for sure, but not because they were afraid that Pat was going out of bounds. [Reply]

I mean, kind of? You don't have to "light him the fuck up" to push him OOB. It looks to me like the first guy just whiffed and the next closest guys were half-assing it, so they got outrun. [Reply]

Lay off the crack pipe, 53 had no angle which is why Mahomes was able to stop and let him go past him as he was running sideways. [Reply]
I thought it was pretty amazing, though it did seem like they were pulling up when I saw it live. On replay though, nope. That was just Patrick being amazing.
Also, notice how Tom Brady is gushing over Mahomes on that play, and really all game. Even Tommy knows...Pat's coming for GOAT. [Reply]

Yeah, I see that now with the second video. Assumed he was running wonky because he was afraid to hit Mahomes square but Hunt actually knocked him off kilter [Reply]
If you're pulling up so you don't get the personal foul, you still make certain to get hold of the runner and make SURE that he goes out of bounds. They over-pursued and missed. Part of the reason they missed was because they expected Mahomes to run out of bounds, but that is part of EVERY SINGLE PLAY IN FOOTBALL. You use deception to get the defense to do what you want them to do, and then take advantage when you do something different. [Reply]
Again, Allen does that sideline shit more than anything and it's even worse because he'll fake going out then throw a bomb once guys let up. I don't see ANYONE criticizing that.
Bo fake slid and the media acted like he was a rookie god for scoring after he faked.

Yeah if anyone else does it you'd hear "Oh what a crafty veteran play! What a high football IQ!" [Reply]
I don't think Mahomes was trying to deek anybody as far as going out of bounds either, I think he was shocked when he made it through the scrum in bounds and had open field in front of him. [Reply]
