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]

It's strange that the division-leading Faders did not "get away" with a win.
And they have MVP candidate Carr- while we are stuck with a guy that can't read defenses!!
Mahomes lead a game-winning drive and Carr did not. [Reply]
I was much happier with Mahomes pocket presence yesterday. He wasn’t dropping as deep or bailing unnecessarily. This predictably resulted in no reckless passes turned interceptions. Now he just needs to read the field better and make better decisions.
He seems to be determining his throw pre snap at times but if he can make himself do that to what will be a wide open check down like Brady always does he’ll be that much better. [Reply]

He did better in the pocket and didn't run from phantom pressure. But his passes sucked and his reads sucked. He tried to throw an INT and GB dropped it.
He is playing tentative and right now like he is playing not to lose. [Reply]

Mahomes shoved a red hot poker up your peehole on 3rd and 10.

So is he playing not to lose or just chugging it for the win- make up your mind.
I know he is no Watson- but you are making him out to be the worst QB of all time. :-) [Reply]

He went through a similar one in 2019 and I don’t think we ever got a dissertation as to why. He struggled in the red zone, throwing out of the pocket, and against man coverage at the tail end of 2019. He particularly struggled against the Chargers Cover 3 and then had similar struggles when the Niners recreated that cover 3 in the Super Bowl.
No one ended up caring about his slump in the back half of the year once the playoffs rolled around. He just needs some time, sometimes that’s all QB’s need to turn it around. [Reply]

Oh okay just fucking ignore this fucking post . Anyone of you going bet me Patrick won't have another 5TD game? I bet he does please someone bet me he doesn't. [Reply]
Pete will you take my bet? Bet me he doesn't have another 5 TD game this season. I bet he does Pete what say you? Anyone else want to bet? You all fucking know Patrick can and will have multiple touchdown games come on bet me he won't have 5 again this season. [Reply]

He was playing hurt on a bum ankle then. And even so, he wasn't off like his right now. I mean his passes are uncharacteristically inaccurate right now. Behind guys, in the ground, way out of reach on deep balls.
Right now he reminds me of a Pitcher that insists on throwing his sinker even though teams have caught on and quit swinging at it.
The 40 yard pass to Hardman was made out of pride and stubbornness, imo.
Until he accepts the fact that he doesn't have to always have highlight-reel passes every time he drops back I think he will struggle.
When he learns to be patient and carve defenses up with the short to intermediate routes, the deep routes will come back. [Reply]

Dude, I don't care if he throws for 5 TDs in a game or not. That's not the point. Nor does that mean we will win as we have seen in the past.
I want to see him have a good game. If that means he throws for 2 TDs and we run for 3 then great. Lead the ****ing offense. [Reply]
