He's a young QB, guys
 

The guy is 23. Tom Brady was still being forced to suck Drew Bledsoe's dick at that age. Peyton Manning was throwing more INTs than TDs.

We're going to be fine. Mahomes is going to be ****ing way better than fine.

Was that in question? Do you know what garbage this team has started before this. Relax.

He turned the ball over a ton of times tonight, and the team still put up 50.

Too bad 50 isn't enough with this defense...

I don't think anyone is mad at mahomes

Right.

It was a tough loss but don't forget to keep our eyes on the prize. The regular season doesn't matter. We've had regular season success with Alex. We've moved on to Mahomes because we thought he'd put us over the hump in the postseason.

We're still in the driver's seat for the #1 seed, with a QB who's proven no comeback is insurmountable, about as healthy as a team could expect to be at this point in the season, and all with a month and a half to fix some issues.

We'll be fine.

Dude is a gunslinger. He turned the ball over a few times and was marvelous at others. He's exactly what we dreamed of. The whole team entertained the shit out of me. Kudos to the whole squad for a hell of a game. No complaints here. Onward to the SB!

It was damn near not enough for the Rams. Face it, their defense sucks as bad as ours...or, both offenses are other worldly...

****...

12th career start. Anyone who is seriously upset at Mahomes needs to drink antifreeze. 100% serious.

I would have turn the Tv off when the Rams were up on us 13pts if Smith was still our quarterback. We’re never out of a game with Mahomes.

A game like this was bound to happen to him. I’m glad it finally did.

He’s going to get better and tonight will be a big reason why.

These 6 TD growing pains games are intolerable.

Thank u

I think some are but it's just the emotions of the moment. Made some mistakes. Gonna happen. Tons of blame to go around for this particular game. Not sure why some try to make it about one player or one thing.

I'm not mad at Mahomes.
He's the reason I get pumped up for Chiefs games like I was a kid again.

How can I get mad at an offense that puts up 51 points and loses? (or 44, if you want to discount the defensive TD)

After everything I've seen from him, he'll use this to grow and be better going forward.

There are a few dumbasses on here that are.

May just be my imagination, but it didn’t look like Makemes had much juice in his arm after the interception by Peters.

He threw a duck to Hunt and quail on the last interception.

The defense allowed 40 points. The "all star" Rams defense gave up 4 more points and 100 more yards. The difference was 3 turnovers, 2 of which ended in touchdowns.

It's okay to blame Mahomes for the loss because after all, he's the reason they lost. We don't need scapegoats.

Yes, Mahomes will learn from this.

The future is bright. Will be even brighter if we can get some defense and a new DC in the offseason.

:clap:

The difference between Patrick Mahomes II and Goff was quite evident. Goff can complete a pass if his first read is open, and if that's not available he freezes up. Patrick Mahomes II is a playmaker regardless of what happens. Goff is Joe Flacco with a more vacant stare.

I don't worry about a tipped interception and a couple of strip sacks. I just know that I feel confident when we need to score.

Of course.

And when the novelty wears off and the swooning subsides he'll settle in (I'm hopeful) and be better able to focus on his game. 23 is ridiculously young to be performing where he is and accomplishing all he has.

It did feel like one of his Texas Tech games. Oh well. I feel great about him.

"A game like this"
LMAO

You mean a game where he just dropped 51 on a top 3 team in the league? A Game like that?

Sometimes we need to just listen to ourselves.

All of his picks were kinda fluky.

The first one was just a lucky play by the DE. He got a hand up and caught it on a lucky bounce. Pat probably needs to either adjust his arm angle or move slightly to avoid it. Wasn’t the wrong read though.

The second one is on Reid to me. Kelce is in blocking when we’re trying to move down the field to win the game? The hell is that? Anyway Mahomes got hit, which led to the pick.

The third was just desperation time. He didn’t have much of a choice.

His picks against the Patriots were more of a cause for concern. He was either fooled or being too aggressive on the picks in that one.

It was a shitty throw. Whether it got there or not.

It was a "**** it" throw.

I love Kelce but he can't drop those passes that hit his hands.

It looked like a TD if he threw it over everyone's heads.

He tried to throw on the run and it was way short.

Should have gathered.

Yes we will be more than fine lol.

Good learning experience, Mahomes turns out to be human after all. 6 TDs and 478 yards and it was his worst game, he made poor decisions at didn't protect the ball when Aaron Donald (last years defensive MVP and probably will be again this year) is coming to make plays.

Mahomes had 5 turnovers and was still positive in the TD to turnover ratio.

Growing pains, learning experience in the regular season. We all thought Mahomes was going to be good, but maybe not expecting him to be an MVP candidate like he is in his first year at the age of 23.

I wouldn't trade Mahomes for any player in the NFL right now, we are going to win Superbowls with this kid even if one of them isn't this year. We're not really a complete team, our secondary is half rejects and the other half draft busts. Zero talent there.

We knew this would be an offensive battle, but the difference in the game was Mahomes turning the ball over 5X.

He waited in the pocket way too long in times where he knew he should have played for another down.

It’s okay. He’s young. He’ll learn.

Rams defense sucks too I guess. 44 and a billion yards allowed at home.

Was somebody worried about Mahomes?

yiip

All this game really did was convince me how much our O-Line sucks ass. We need to introduce at least one new fatty to the team in this next draft. Mahomes threw that last ball early and it got picked partially because he was sensing ghosts all around him.

Hill returning that punt completely ****ed that last drive up. I think we at least tie it up if he just lets that one bounce.

It was a 5-yard and 10 second difference.

I don't think it mattered.

They have two starters on IR. :shake:

Yep, glad it's regular season and not the playoffs. Hopefully he can use some lessons from tonight's game on the bigger stage later this season.

It’s beyond frustrating that if the defense gets one more stop at the end Mahomes ends the night with 6 TDs and one pick with a win.

Amen

Morse is in his last year so make that one.

Yup good post. Also throw in the fact that because this defense is ass it puts alot of pressure on him to have to go score and make plays every drive and sometimes that will lead to mistakes.

Mahomes will watch the film and learn....he will heal his body a little this week and come back a better QB in week 13.

Be afraid afc.

All the commentators have been saying we have a top 5 OL, i've been thinking do they watch the games? Do they know we have 2 average tackles and a shitshow in between? If Mahomes had Brees line he would have 60 Td's already.

Mahomes scored 6TDs and passed for 475+yds. Almost pulled off a historic comeback. No excuse necessary.

Meh. I'll give Tyreek the at-bat every time without hesitation. He's a cheetah.

If Mahomes doesn't throw a dump off pass flat-footed or Cam Erving falls on a fumble instead of trying to pick it up and apparently run it into the other team's end zone, Mahomes probably ends the night with NO picks and a win.

Hill has earned the right to see what he can do with a punt return.

Erving had a brutal game but the rest of the line seemed to play fairly well.

Two of those guys weren't expected to get any snaps this year.

Mahomes is so good he had almost as many Rams TDs as goff. Hell, he technically had 8 TD passes tonight. Mahomes is a superior QB.

So I’d Goff

Mahomes 0

Goff 1

Goff is the better QB.

He is one of those "don't score too fast" guys. He was making sure the Rams scoreed REAL fast. :D

Some dumbshit fans apparently want Alex Smith and his zero turnover stat line back who would have lost by 40 points in a track meet like this.

Erving had his hands full with Donald a lot of the time.

What was the deal with Reiter blocking NOBODY? There were a few times when he was just standing there.

Mahomes should not be immune to criticism. He was careless with the football, and did not sense the pressure well tonight. Andy needs to call more plays that get the ball out quicker, and more carries for Hunt can help set up the deep shots. He will learn from this and I actually am more confident this team will be in the Superbowl after this performance. The defense controlled Gurley and settled down making stops after a penalty-filled 1st quarter where the secondary got eaten up.

Chiefs finish 13-3 at worst, but I’m leaning 14-2 and the #1 seed in the AFC.

Alex is a pos QB.

37 TDs

Wrong.

:clap::clap::clap:

I'm right there with you!

It's the same ball he threw in the 4th of the Broncos game last year that could've easily been picked - had more faith than he had arm and tried to throw a ball 60 yards while falling backwards.

Not even Mahomes can pull that off.

Wasnt a smart play. And the 2 sack/strips were bad movement in the pocket; the first was especially egregious.

But in the end, who ****ing cares? He was the reason we were in that game. His B- effort wa damn near 500 yards and 6 scores. His 'bad games' have all been Ws or some kind of heroic effort that came up a bit short because of an ill-advised rookie vapor lock or 2. Oh well. This is a heck of a 'shit happens' game...

(But seriously - stop trying to throw the length of the football field off your back foot; understand the limits of your own mortality, young grasshopper...)

:clap:

Yeah, he was the reason we lost, and he was the reason why we were even in the position to lose it there, and why this was even a big game to begin with.

I'm not upset with him for looking green tonight. He will learn and improve on that. We've got our QB and the future is bright.

Erving allowed the 2 strip sacks but he was blocking the best defensive player in the league. And 1 of them was kinda on Patrick for not getting rid of the ball sooner. So it was bad but about what I expected.

He had two possessions in which he could have tied the game or scored the go-ahead TD.

Yes, he was awesome with the TD drives. Yes, he had five turnovers (two of which scored points for the rams).

I've never had a QB who could throw 6 TD's and 475 yards and leave me thinking "yeah, but he could have played better."

That's just how good he is.

same, anybody else doing that I'd be pissed. But I'll take the chance with Tyreek every single time, the odds of him making a great play is too good.

I think we'd have only 3 or 4 wins right now at best with Alex, those people are stupid.

This is a compelling argument.

:clap::clap::clap:

Who really gives a shit? I'm so happy about my qb that I feel sorry for dipshit who aren't. **** em.

I was disappointed in mahomes tonight. But I'd.rather be disappointed than mad. In a weird way, I don't mind that he faced some adversity in his young career. Promise you he will always remember this loss.

Get better at situational football. Great QBs make their money in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter. Hoping he learns quickly.

Watch the first one again (if you have the stomach for it).

Reiter pretty much does nothing while Erving gets beat. He starts to help Wylie on Suh, but Wylie didn’t need help.

Not sure if Reiter just missed what was happening or if Mahomes didn’t correct the protection at the line. Id have Reiter helping on Donald all game and take my chances with Suh

PLAY GOOD FOOTBALL

It's all part of the learning process. It's if he's still doing this 10 years from now like Favre that's when we'll start to get sick of it.

He still led a great drive down 44-47 to give us the lead. Scandrick makes a catch, and Mahomes is the hero again with another game winning drive

Mahomes took it like a man after the game.

Dude is the true leader of this team and will be for many, many years.

Lots to look forward too.

Pat probably didn't see that at Texas Tech once. LMAO

"YES! 50 POINTS IS ENOUGH IN THE NFL!"

This dude always nails it.

Spot on analysis.

Mahomes thinks he is Superman.

You're Batman, kid. There is nothing wrong with that.

Just be Batman.

Mahomes has to be Superman with Bob Sutton’s shitfest defense.

Sure Mahomes held on to the ball too long/waiting for the big play on some of those turnovers, but I’ll take that any day over Alex Smiff completing 70 bubble screens for 12 yards.

Half of our problem is Mahomes has been SO good we just want him to go the extra 10% and be completely impervious to failure, year one be damned.

We are already victims of our own success.

Patience is a virtue and the long game will be much sweeter in the end.
