We have over half a decades worth of games now to determine that's just not the case.

I didn’t say anyone said he’s trash, but you and Peej are definitely riding him for whatever reason. You said he hasn’t been all that good when you throw out his best playoff performances and also disagreed with the idea that he reigns in his dipshittery in the postseason?

On first down he threw a hospital ball to Diggs who was fortunate to not catch it. On second down he threw a perfect pick 6 to Sneed but McDuffie had a “great” pass break up on that one. Then on third down he ran it immediately after dropping back to pass and fumbled the ball which at minimum should have been a Chiefs recovery and was close to a fumble return for a TD.

I just went back and re-watched. I think you’re reaching a bit. The “hospital pass” definitely wasn’t a hospital pass and on the “perfect pick-6 to Sneed”, Diggs was the first one to get his hands on that pass. The fumble was a legit fumble; I will give you that.

Also there is ZERO chance Mahomes tries the throw Allen did when Jones slightly nudged him. We know this because in the final OT drive Mahomes really wanted to go to the play they drew up for Kelce 15 yards downfield, where he even pumped it and changed his mind to not risk it unnecessarily, only to come back to the wide open check down to Pacheco. He took the easy open play even though it isn’t what he wanted. He kept his mental composure in a high pressure situation, which to this point is one of Allen’s biggest weaknesses.

I doubt that. Mahomes tried to throw a TD pass on our last play in regulation against the 9ers before settling for the field goal.
