Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Pat had time and the safety was shifting towards Sammy bc of Mahomes eyes. I wonder why he didn’t go to Tyreek, who was single covered?
I’m wondering if Mahomes was just trying to force it to Sammy to get him involved bc he was having bad chemistry with him all night?
It just seemed weird. Like it was a one read play before the ball was even snapped.
It's a play fake with 2 outside go routes or stops based on coverage I'd imagine. He took the single high safety right to the ball with his eyes. He's gotta look him off and not stare down the WR. [Reply]

I think I heard they were forcing the ball to Sammy to get him involved in the offense. [Reply]

If there's a poster team for this season's series of WR/CB matchup columns, it's the Chiefs. Kansas City's receivers face the league's toughest cornerback schedule -- and it's not close. The slate includes the hardest schedule overall and for No. 1, No. 2 and left perimeter receivers. It's second-hardest on slot and right perimeter receivers.
Coach Andy Reid moves his receivers around plenty, but Watkins (69 percent perimeter last season) and Hill (62 percent) usually line up outside. This will mean matchups with star cover corners Casey Hayward (twice), Richard Sherman, Chris Harris Jr. (twice), Jalen Ramsey, A.J. Bouye, Stephon Gilmore, William Jackson, Patrick Peterson, Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib and Jimmy Smith. And that doesn't even include a potentially lethal Cleveland group that includes Denzel Ward, T.J. Carrie and E.J. Gaines.
Kansas City will face nine of the top-11 cornerback groups and only three who are ranked worse than 15th. Hill and Watkins are both tremendous talents, but this is one of the hardest cornerback schedules imaginable. Both should be downgraded.

I just can’t wait to watch the Rams game with Peters playing. I am willing to bet the Tyreek and Kelce know just how to get him riled up. Should be good for a few personal fouls. I also hope we get to see Hunt run him over in the open field as Peters is trying to avoid tackling the guy.
As for the rest of the DBs we play, you want to be the best? Beat the best. Maybe not very good for our stats (which I appreciate is the point of the article) but it should be fun to watch as Pat and the WRs develop better chemistry. [Reply]

I’m pretty sure Pat said in his post-game interview that play was one where he had made up his mind where the ball was going before the play started. He made it sound like it was his choice and that he learned that you need to take what the defense gives you rather than force things. [Reply]

Sherman, who is coming off an injury, is supposed to shut down the Cheatah?

Plus, if Sammy drifted to the right, it would have been a TD. Lack of effort by Sammy. [Reply]

I agree- Chris Harris Jr. looks like he has lost a step- he can't even cover a rookie in practice. He has been burned like a campfire marshmallow. [Reply]
