Since the Super Bowl the dude has not looked right. Now he is just flat playing with his head in his ass.
I think he needs to get over himself a bit. He has 2 critical INT's this season that are 100% his fault that he had 0% reason to every try and it cost us points, 1 game and maybe 2. [Reply]

The game plan yesterday very well could have been just that, but with the score getting out of hand so quickly, it never had a chance to materialize.
I think we need to run the ball more often. Reid backs away too fast. Especially if we have a run for little or no gain. A running game takes more than 7 hand offs a game to work. And teams know we are too stubborn to run the ball and check it down. [Reply]

Perhaps Mahomes needs to focus a little more on football and maybe a little less on his outside endeavors? I say that in the context of him becoming massively wealthy in the last couple years, buying into the Royals, buying into Sporting KC, etc.
I get the endorsements and such but I kind of wonder if him an the girlfriend are kinda going Charlie Sheen in Major League 2 just a bit? [Reply]

We don't have the luxury of being patient with the running game when opponents start marching down the field and scoring at will from the get go. And I can't imagine Reid is gameplanning with the assumption that's what is going to happen and I can't imagine it's possible even if he wanted to. So whatever the gameplan is, we are getting taken out of it right off the bat and start throwing shit at the wall hoping something will stick and everything unravels from there. [Reply]
He’s going through his first real rut. There are a lot of reasons that could be causing it, but I think we’re really seeing the comfort Schwartz and Fish gave him at the tackles. Seems like he’s inside his own head a bit, but as that last pass proved, Patrick is still there (the safer move would have been to throw it away) - and I have full confidence he’ll figure it out.

Might have run the ball more throughout the game with Henne in though.
Not saying Mahomes should be benched but the gameplan would have been completely fucking different with Henne in there and who knows how the game plays out. [Reply]
