Because that's the offense we run.

Mahomes big arm and ability to throw deep open up all the short stuff in the traditional WCO and spread attacks.

Mahomes didn't complete a single pass over 20 air yards last week and we still scored 31 points.

Because teams are scared shitless of his ability to go deep.

See: Alex Smith - king of checkdowns - ignoring Tyreek Hill streaking uncovered down the field in the 2016 playoffs against the Steelers. No one took Smith’s throwing downfield seriously prior to that game and consistently missing those opportunities is why. Smith missed them 85pct of the time whereas Mahomes is looking for that opportunity a similar proportion of plays.

I’m so ready to see how our corners handle the press coverage Sunday. You just know it’s coming too.

Blows my mind that LAC tried to play off all the time when that has gotten so many teams beaten by NE over the years. Pittsburgh finally went away from it in the game they played this year and they got the monkey off their backs.

We HAVE to disrupt the timing of their routes.

Even a guy like Darius Heyward-Bey had to be accounted for, it only takes one catch to lose a game.

But in the Chiefs case, it's even worse. We had guys like Tyreek Hill running wide open 25-30 yards downfield and Alex wouldn't even look at him.

On Sunday, the Patriots have to be aware of where Tyreek Hill is AT ALL TIMES. If Alex Smith were the QB, they could actually relax a little because they would never really have to worry about getting beat deep.

When you have the best downfield passer, teams put extra players deep in to defend.

Easy money to run those plays to counter.

I fully expect this to be one of the 3-5 loudest games in Arrowhead history once they show that Cowherd video before the game.

Chiefs by motha****in double digits.

Supposedly, they’re gonna play that Cowherd clip at the game. We may need to call Guinness in.

That's savage, Linda! You might fit in well with chiefsplanet.:hump:

Chiefsplanet has a thread rating teachers who **** their students. Disgusting! :shake:

The passive aggressive trolling by Patriots pseudofollowers is kind of weird. Do they think they're being clever? I'm suspecting that they don't watch football very much.

I was watching the LA Chargers game and literally was shocked any coach could be so stupid in a playoff game. Even more odd, I don't think they went away from it in the first half either and we dropped 35 on them. I think Rivers is a nice guy off-field, but he's too whiny for me and I don't think they can win a SB with him at center.

He took what they gave them last week and he did great with it.

The roar is going to be deafening.

I'm not trolling.

Doubt Robert is either. We both actually praised the forum on our forum yesterday. I am 100% being serious and if you guys win I will congratulate you. You guys are better than Denver fans.
