He plays on a good team that has completely tailored itself to take advantage of his strengths and has overall enjoyed a lot of (meaningless) success. But at the end of the day, he can't throw it when he needs to, doesn't have the ability to put his team on his back when he has to, and this has been proven time and time again. And Pat clearly lives in his head, and just made another addition this evening.

But another team didn't beat them, so.... meh.

Also, did anyone else catch Aaron Schatz complaining midway through the first half about why the Chiefs don't play like this all the time, and save it for the playoffs?

Somebody is sad his system's flaws were shown so clearly.

In the case of guys like Mahomes, Kelce, and Chris Jones, they have had a longer run across the last 6 years than any trio of players for a specific team across the league. Every damn year their season has gone at least to Overtime in the AFC title game. Long seasons. Less rest than other players around the league.

I would even say this applies to Andy Reid as well. He has had a longer season on average than any other head coach the last 6 years. Zero breaks when your team is making deep runs in the Playoffs. Harder to bring your A-game in the regular season when you know the Playoffs are the only thing that means a damn thing.

Yeah, it's a pretty basic thing.

The Chiefs get everyone's best shot every week. They're on TV all the time. This year they dealt with the weird rest deficit stuff.

And Reid has a history of saving some things for the playoffs, as does Mahomes.

Have you accepted Mahomes as your lord and savior yet, rfaulk?

At this point Joe Burrow's best hope is to be Phil Simms to Mahomes Montana.

Nah, i'm good. We'll ramp it up again next year and make a run for NOLA.

Yeah. RFaulk thinks Burrow is better.

Good. Mahomes needs to make Burrow his absolute son next. Once is not enough.

That kind of contrasts the fact that he encouraged his team to play dirty. Nah, **** that face-saving ****.

That's fair if you don't trust Lamar in the POs. I'd be interested to see what you think after the game Sunday.

What an embarassment it will be for the league when Lamar gets named NFL MVP.
