Am I crazy for not liking the decision to go deep to Hill?
 

I’m on my phone, sorry for the lack of embed [help from a mod would be appreciated], but look at this play design:

I’m actually not thrilled at that play.

And I think it’s honestly the difference between Mahomes (who’s great) and Brady (who is the greatest).

Brady will take that dump off to Williams 10 times out of 10 until defenses play it honestly. Chew up 7 yards at a time, never take a risk, and control the game. Next time Hill is open, the odds of another defender cheating deep to punish him will be low.

Mahomes is an ambitious predator, always looking for the kill shot. But he did it at the expense of Hill’s health here.

Sometimes the kill shot is there, but the dump off is always there and Brady will always take it. That’s why he’s so consistent in the postseason, where risky behavior can kill you as often as it wins for you.

Nah send it

No. We are a power running team with an elite QB.

That play should have been a run - preferably to one of our slow running backs.

You have to establish the run to open up the deep shots.

****ing whatever dude. That is just ****ing stupid.

It's throws like that which make Mahomes better than Brady.

Those plays open everything else up.

Look at the quick march after Kelce's first reception in traffic busted everything open today.

3 more explosive plays in order and we're in the EZ.

Counterpoint: **** Tom Brady.

The injury thing is just bad hindsight, IMO... it's not like he was throwing a ball over the middle where you could clearly see him hanging out his receiver to get decapitated.

That's an elite, very few people in the world can and will make that throw, kind of throw... and you don't neuter that.

One of Mahomes best throws of his career...but he should have dumped it off for no gain??

I knew someone would complain about Mahomes this week- LOL

:LOL:

Dont ever let people tell you Chiefs fans arent stupid.

We were up big so really don't care. If the game were closer then hell no. That makes it a bad decision and very low completion percentage. Game situation matters on taking chances like that.

Oh dear.

Mods, please delete this thread. It goes against the standards of our community.

And I thought your Marvel takes were bad.

You always take that deep shot if you think you can make the throw. Injury is always a risk. Hill could easily tear his ACL on a jet sweep.
