I'm happy and all but Rivers had a better game. He could have thrown for 600 yards and 6 TDs if not for drops. And really Tyreek should have got that over PMII.

Glad for it though, hopefully he gets 18 more this year.

Rivers had a better stat line, but I wouldn’t say a better game.

They only produced 12 points through 3 quarters against our defense. That should never win you player of the week.

A drop is still an incompletion. Sucks for the QB, but they also get credit for a completion from a great catch on a poor throw so it evens out.

[Tombstone RJ]

Reek should be APofW, not Patty

[Rain Man]

It's happening!

Um - stick to your dipshit thread - Dipshit.

This is what happens when you have a young star QB that is good for the league. Poor Cheating Donx fan is used to this kind of favoritism. Can't stand it that KC may now finally get some preferential treatment by the league.

[suzzer99]

Hopefully every week will be a controversy between 2 or more Chiefs over who gets AFC OPotW.

[Ming the Merciless]

nice!


congrats , Mahomies!!

[ModSocks]

Yeah Reek earned it.

But, idgaf. The NFL is a QB league. The NFL wants to develop and push its young QB's, and Mahomes is a star.

This is what we wanted. Sorry reek, you earned it, but it's Mahomes' team and it will eventually be Mahomes' league.

You know whats awesome about being a Chief's fan? Yea Reek could have won it, so yea we have multiple players who can win this award every week. Kelce and Watkins included.

Unlike your shit ass team.

Hope you are right. There were a couple of questionable hits on Mahomes by the Chargers that would have been flags for the big name veteran QB’s in the league.

[carcosa]

I'm gonna squirt!!!!

[milkman]

Yeah, Tyreek deserved it.

Mahomes is only going to get better though, and he get more of these.

[Flying High D]

Good thing Alex is in the NFC.

[WhiteWhale]

Yeah, Tyreek deserved it.

Mahomes is only going to get better though, and he get more of these.

Tyreek will get more of these as well on his way to a 1600 yard 10 TD season.

I think he'll bust out at least ONE 200+ yard game this year.

[Sassy Squatch]

Good thing Alex is in the NFC.
Why? I'm pretty sure a pedestrian 21/30 for 257 yards and 2 TDs never won anyone player of the week.

[Shaid]

Yeah, he did great but I'd hand this one to Tyreek as well. Still, I don't mind him getting early national attention.

[carcosa]

Tyreek will get more of these as well on his way to a 1600 yard 10 TD season.

He's only going to get 8 touchdowns in the last 15 games???

[Rain Man]

Yeah Reek earned it.

I agree with all of this, and it's best for the team if Mahomes wins it so we can start getting the star treatment.

[FAX]

Actually, Tyreek already has 3 touchdowns. 10 total desired touchdowns minus 3 already in the bag touchdowns equals 7 desired touchdowns to go.

Having sorted that all out, I think the more reasonable expectation for Tyreek in this offense is 18 to 20 TDs including special teams scores.

Exactly...what's the guy gotta do?

[WhiteWhale]

I have a buddy who's slowly becoming a KC fan. He's watched games with me for the past 3 years on and off. He couldn't get into it though. KC had such a tendency to be boring AF, and he blamed Alex.

For the first time in the 20+ years I've known him, HE brought up football in a discussion. Dude watched the opener, loves Mahomes, and wants a Jersey. He said "I think I'm a full blown chiefs fan now."

:)

Completely true story.

SO MUCH TALENT!


AND HE BELONGS TO US!!!!!

Hell YAH!

[rico]

Tyreek deserves it, but hell, any positive vibes to our new QB is fine with me.

And a popular opinion among certain analysts seems to be that Tyreek complemented Mahomes well and made him look better and what not. Which yeah, that’s true... but I think they have a mutually complementary thing going on with each other. Tyreek likely wouldn’t have had he showings he’s had in the preseason and Game 1 if he had a different QB he was working with.

This is really fun...what so many of us have been waiting for, it seems.

Instead of Tyreek Hill?

Honestly PMII didn't really deserve it, but Props.

Now the downside, I never want PMII to think this is too easy, where it's almost automatic. I want him to stay hungry and humble.

Hill deserved the offensive player of the week over Rivers.

[ROYC75]

He's trying to get you on termonology - "shovel passes." He knows what you mean.

So , uh, how wide is this shovel? Rounded, square, or even a scoop shovel?

Was Denver a test, tryout, practice or a tuneup game?

[BlackOp]

Was Denver a test, tryout, practice or a tuneup game?

Tune up...he was playing with back-ups in a meaningless game. It WAS a game, technically,...but I doubt they game planned much. Not too much pressure playing in a game that, if you lose, has no effect in the standings.

Does Reid put in a 3rd string QB in a "real" game?

[carcosa]

I'm gonna go conspiracy theorist and say the NFL would like to avoid giving Tyreek too much of a spotlight if they can help it because of his domestic violence incident. I know he's already earned a few POW awards, but if you can reasonably give the award to either him or the squeaky clean rising QB... I dunno, I feel like it's at least a tiebreaker.

[Ming the Merciless]

ALso, he didnt even play the whole game and he wasn't 'the starting QB'...he was a backup at that point.


I agree, this was his 1st "real" start...in a game that mattered.

Reid sure did want to win it, so back goes in Mahomes.

Plus not game planned, I would bet you a million bucks it was game planned to get him ready. Reid spoke of the coaches splitting up time and getting the QB's ready for their next game, Alex vs Tn and Pat vs Donks.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I was thinking yesterday, as good as he was at Texas Tech, he was playing with a bunch of douchebags. He is finally just now playing with team mates on his skill level. Can't wait for Week 2 against Pittsburgh. If he plays well and we win he'll be all the media talks about the rest of the year.

It's probably fair to think this for most young QBs. And in prior years Reid's genius offensive schemes lose efficacy as the year drags on. I think the book on Mahomes will be that you need to knock him the **** down or he'll carve you up downfield. We have enough complementary weapons that none of this can be easily defended or figured out though. The league may figure him out but then he'll figure the league out. I think we got this one.

[Hammock Parties]

I don't think anyone is stopping this offense.

In Week 1 the Chargers focused on Kelce and Tyreek owned them.

In Week 2 Tyreek had 0 catches at halftime. We had 21 points because Kelce was raping.

Then Mahomes got bored and started going to Tyreek.

We are undefensible.

Patrick "future GOAT' Mahomes II

[DRM08]

Fitzpatrick plays the Steelers this week. Be interesting to see if he can perform similar to Mahomes against that defense.

[KCFalcon59]

Might as well sticky this thread. He may earn this every week.

[arrwheader]

What about his career 80ish passer rating makes him come to that conclusion? That was just stupid. Mahomes is the wild card, he still has to prove it over time, but Fitzpatrick has years of "Meh" to explain why this likely won't be sustained by him for long.

Yea I don't watch much ESPN mostly because i can't stand it so I can't even tell you who it was but this was my thought as well.

[MVChiefFan]

I’m still shaking my head in disbelief that we have this guy. It just seems unreal.

The thing about Fitz is that his career 80-ish passer rating is deceptive.

He's not an "average about 80" guy.

He's a "130 this week, 30 the next" guy.

He's about due for a 4 INT game, the kind of game I just don't ever see Mahomes having.

[kgrund]

Fitzpatrick is Bill Kenney. When good REALLY good. When bad REALLY bad. The older guys out there will know what I am talking about.

What's really sickening is how the Chiefs offense only had 17 points with that many turnovers.

Pulling for Fitz but I expect he comes back to earth soon also.

Tom Brady had 3 int against Chiefs year after winning his first Super Bowl so it's inevitable for Patrick to have at least one day of throwing multiple picks but i'm sure he can overcome those with 5 td in same game.

[Rasputin]

Whats the record for winning AFC OPOTW in a season by a player?

[htismaqe]

Brady has thrown 3 or more picks a few times in his career but in all of those instances he was throwing the ball more than 45 times a game. One of them he threw like 60.

If I were a betting man, I wouldn't count on Mahomes throwing more than even 30 times per game very many times. My guess is he averages somewhere around 27-28.

[WhiteWhale]

oddly enough, i picked up on that too...

why ask three times... IF THAT THIRD FOOT WAS IN PLAY... ROFL

"If it had reached that point, would the third foot have mattered?"

What the fuck does that mean?! ROFL

[WhiteWhale]

4 in 2005.

He threw 3 of them to Greg Wesley.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200511270kan.htm

In 2002, the year after his first Superbowl, Brady threw for 410 yards and 4 TD's against the Chiefs.

That's impressive in itself and hasn't utilized the run game much but his passes are effective with authority and precision where as he lets the play makers make plays. I don't think it's out of the realm for him to throw 60 td this season with as few as 10 int or less even.


That's crazy fucking shit but it could happen.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We'll let you know in January

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Meanwhile Case Keenum was named Casey Casum

Guess we're gonna find out

[carcosa]

Am I missing something, or is Mahomes the frontrunner heading into MNF? Most of the huge offensive games came from the NFC. The only threats I can think of are Mayfield, Josh Allen, and Albert Wilson, but none of them really have the stats to match Mahomes. If a Steeler doesn't have a huge game, I think he might have a threepeat.

Goff will probably get it.

[carcosa]

Goff will probably get it.

NFC.

[MMXcalibur]

Albert Wilson will probably get it.
He had a 50+ yard TD pass and a 50+ yard TD reception. Those types of stats just don't grown on trees.

In comparison, Mahomes had a rather pedestrian performance. Ho hum, 3 touchdowns and 300+ yards.....

I'm okay with that

Mahomes can't get it every week

Or Josh Allen. They will be looking to give some positive publicity for another young QB.

[carcosa]

HE CAN AND HE WILL!!!

[CoMoChief]

Mahomes just may win the award again.

The MNF game pends, but other than Ryan Tannehill, I dunno who else had a comparable Sunday. Albert Wilson meh...

Ridiculous. Mahomes is far exceeding anyone's expectations. I actually thought he'd have similar to Smith's #'s his first year, but with more INT's. Thought he may avg 1/game.

Dude is going full blown 1984 Marino right in front of our very own eyes. He's playing w/ confidence that's shooting to the moon and has weapons all around him and he wants to use all of them. Teams aren't going to be able to stop everyone, and it's safe to say that Mahomes is only going to get better the more games he plays.

Nobody every would have thought this would have played out the way it has. Yes many believed that Mahomes would be the real deal, but I'm not sure many could have predicted this kind of production and in the ways he's done it. He passes the eye test, looks like a poised vet, has a cannon of an arm and dares teams to beat it.

It's magical. It's like a breath of fresh air to have a QB that wants to play past the chains rather than in between them. Teams don't like to play defense and cover the entire field. Teams are going to have to do that vs Mahomes.

simply breaking the all time record for touchdowns to start a season, let alone a career, clearly warrants the award.

if this was his first start due to an alex injury in week 2, then no, he would not deserve it :thumb:

[suzzer99]

Nah - Mahomes needed at least one more TD. 3 pts. in the second half aint gonna cut it.

And that's... ok.

No point showing all our cards every week when we were never close to in danger of losing this one.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

It will either be Mahomes, Tannehill or Allen, assuming we don't get a huge offensive performance from a Steeler tonight . . . .

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I only See Tannehill 3TDs 289 yards 155 QBR or Jordy Nelson 173 receiving yards as this weeks AFC competition.

Mahomes could win again

[Rain Man]

But was the pass 50+ yards in the air?

[Hammock Parties]

The people giving out these awards don't know how many points he scored in the second half.

[carcosa]

Yes!

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I think he's still got a shot. Big Ben had a good game but threw a pick.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Actually I hadn't thought about Baker Mayfield, Don't think he had the stats but he balled out. He could get the award.

[RedRaider56]

Or Josh Allen. They will be looking to give some positive publicity for another young QB.

I think it'll be this ^^^^. Allen led the Bills to the biggest underdog upset in over a decade. Plus as DRM08 said, the league will want more positive pub of a young QB.

Ben Roethlisberger is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Trade Mahomes now before his stock gets any lower.

He threw a pick and let Tampon into the game

Don't matter. They have to prop up their fan base.

[Mecca]

Its very important for the Steelers to be good for the NFL...why do you think DeSean Jacksons punt return didn't count?

Even though they scored that cost them about 4 minutes of clock.

[carcosa]

I'm fucking pissed

[Hoover]

I knew this would happen

Did we ever get a look at that play to see the "defensive holding" by Scandrick?

[FAX]

Wow. Okay ...

Who votes for this magnificent award? Anybody know?

[DRM08]

I'm surprised they gave it to Big Ben instead of Josh Allen. Seems like they should be wanting to give some positive publicity for that struggling Buffalo franchise.
