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 fact that he makes a bad decision now and then and tries the bomb instead of the easy first down to Kelce doesn't mean that he's broken and "incapable." Everything on here is so extreme. When things are going well, he's a God who can do no wrong. Now he's broken and worthless.
Personally, I think that if yesterday's game were a playoff game, he would have taken the first down to Kelce. I think he expected to roll with Love at QB and decided to go for some highlight reel plays.
I also think that Mahomes tends to get complacent when the team has a lead or he's playing a weak opponent. Not that he isn't trying to make plays obviously, but he doesn't have the same level of urgency. I think it was telling that when they needed a drive at the end, he made it happen.
The team scored 13 points. Can't blame that on complacency. [Reply]

He did appear to be making a concerted effort to stay in the pocket. I will give him that.
Other than that he was making terrible reads, terrible decisions, shitty throws, and nearly threw a pick for the 7th straight game. I haven't checked the stats but I'd imagine his completion % was around 50% and YPA in the 4-5 range.
We only scored 13 points all night, too. And that's despite the fact that we had zero turnovers and had one drive set up at the GB 10 yard line. [Reply]

7th straight? He was playing well the first few weeks apart from pressing on a few third downs because our defense was complete shit. The major setback has been since Buffalo. [Reply]

Sorry, he actually did throw at least 1 INT for 7 straight games. Last night would have made it 8 straight games with a pick. [Reply]

Had he hit Kelce not only does the drive continue it might start opening up the deep ball.
Instead he wants to be stubborn and try to force shit for the sake of forcing it.
I don't mind the shots down field. The timing has been just a tick off.
I don't disagree that the safe play was to hit Kelce, but meh. [Reply]

I mean...it was there if Hardman doesn't pull up. He was slightly off the Tyreek throw.
You're just looking for more reasons to shit on him because you have some retarded theory that Mahomes can't play QB. [Reply]
