In my opinion, Reid starts to turn Mahomes into a game manager, and that's just not his game. Why stay aggressive vs a good D? If we're going three and out anyway and we don't trust our defense, then I'd rather go 3 and out swinging. Not on some 3rd and 4 safe checkdown pass well short of the sticks.

Because in that exact game he did what you want and the QB threw and interception?

So after my first year starting Qb just threw a pretty bad interception, he came back and threw it 3 of 5 plays on the next possession. But yeah.

He needs to learn to play that way sometimes. That's what you do to burn out the clock on a big lead. Take those 4 or 5 yard passes, complete them and get first downs.
