It's a risk. When Mahomes is done for the night, I'm always glad he got some work, mostly because it means the other players got to work with him. But the way football is it's increasingly tough to risk live action for players that you already know 100% are locked-in, foundational players.

Many of them are not locked in though. Just look at Kyler Murray. He didn't want to play. His goal was to play one series, score, and leave. Dude couldn't even manage a first down lol.

But hey, he was going up against the most underrated defense going into this season. The offense gets all the attention. The NFL has a big surprise coming from the other side of the LOS. This unit is NASTY and they're coming in to this season looking to send a message.

Good thing because the offense might get off to a slower than usual start this season.

Not if we can run the ball. We get that balance going like we began the season last year and we'll be scoring in bunches. Big difference between 3rd 4 and 3rd and 8.

So Mahomes didn't want to steal their thunder. YES, good leader!

It really did feel like the team had an agenda to chuck it to Mecole if it was close at all. We've never taken that approach in a regular season game. So yeah, we kinda were messing around.

Also, I listen to the radio with the TV on mute during the Chiefs games. On the radio Mitch Holtus said Mahomes threw a no-look pass on the over throw in the end zone to Hardman. It did look like it.

On the Mahomes INT, Patrick takes the 3 points if the game counted. I'm not worried about those things. The only thing I want to see is Mahomes step up more. His OG's don't suck and his C isn't a limp noodle. That trust will develope.

I agree with this.

I will also add that I would like to never see Mahomes run the ball ever again in preseason.
