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]
When I learn how to make gif's I might do some of these.
First drive and Mahomes isn't even looking at Gordon. To me you have throw the ball to him he is so big and has good leverage. Mahomes just chucks it out of bounds.

Am I remembering that correctly? Obviously, something is off.
He's constantly barking at the sidelines, usually for them to get the fucking play call in. Andy has been calling plays like he's in a diabetic coma this season.
He's always got his hand up, motioning for them to hurry up with the playcall.
It also doesn't help trying to lock Pat in a box he doesn't belong in. Past three years what is the number one defensive key on Mahomes?
DO NOT LET THIS KID OUTSIDE THE POCKET OR HE WILL DESTROY YOU.
So, in typical Chiefs fashion, we do the defenses job for them by demanding he stay in the pocket.
It's not who he is or what he does. Let the kid play football. Get some bootlegs going, rollouts, moving pocket, etc.
The guy is deadly when he's on the move. He delivered amazing, nigh unstoppable results. We can plainly see what is happening forcing him to be a pocket passer.
Thought this was kind of interesting on the challenges and where blame lies. Pretty much as most have said to be fair - some Pat, some the OL, some shitty officiating of horrendous holding on Kelce - https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-kansas-...vis-kelce-2021 [Reply]

He's a gunslinger, not a statue.
This is just an absolutely false narrative. It's like people forget what Patrick Mahomes looked like when he had full trust in his line and would brilliantly glide throughout the pocket as he evaded a pass rush.
Mahomes is better when he is in the pocket and he keeps his eyes down field, but recently he's not scanning the field for his receivers. Instead, he's got his eyes on the guys attempting to rush him. He has no trust that his guy will win and so hes running to avoid nothing. Since he is too busy worrying about phantom pass rush and leaving a clean pocket he isn't seeing any of his open receivers until it's basically too late and he tries to throw it 100 mph to his target before that guy is no longer open. Being on the run while trying to force the ball to a guy that may not even be opened anymore is causing him to throw short or if he does get it there our guys are having a hard time catching his heaters, which leads to ints.
He is the best at escaping an actual pass rush, buying time for a receiver to get opened, and setting his feet right before he completes an incredible throw. He is however still better when he stays in the pocket. Defenses knew that he was almost just as good when they were getting pressure as he was when he was staying in the pocket. The D coordinators said "fuck it", stopped blitzing and decided to drop everyone back, because the more guys they have in coverage the better chance they had to cover the WRs and be in his throwing lanes.
Up until the last few games he was making them pay and still scoring at will with an occasional turnover, but recently he doesn't trust his line and is just running for no reason and making terrible throws. He's just currently in his head, but all it's gonna take is one monster game this weekend to awaken a beast.
Back to the main point. No he was not better when he improvised. People have just forgotten how good he was in the pocket. [Reply]

dude puts up.a 40 burger, 400 tards , multiple TDs and you focus on "dodged a pick"
Played really well. Started with the short stuff and just drove methodically scoring and eating clock. Then when the Faid began to panic and started blitzing O opened up for the long ball.

This is the way.
That was his best game of the season by far. Took what was there. Took shots when the presented themselves. Didn't try and force anything. [Reply]
