A Level Headed Review Week 15 2024
 

Justin Reid booming the kickoffs still

Moving Thuney to LT is a successful move. Patrick has way more time in the pocket through the first quarter.

Pacheco and Hunt are a deadly combination. They both have the ability to break 10+ yard runs. Hunt just does it with more power and Pacheco with more speed and aggression.


Karlaftis showing up early in this game with lots of pressure and 2 sacks. I think having Jones and Omenihu out there at the same time really helps free him up.

Offense still struggling to get a good rhythm, seems like Worthy is just a tad off on where he needs to be when Pat throws the ball. Deep balls continue to be an issue either there is no separation or Pat chucks it too far.

Hopkins continues to just make fantastic catches. Pat really trusts him and will throw it in the smallest of windows to him. Anyone else notice that Hopkins has dropped that "pony tail" thing he had wrapped in trainers tape in favor oh his locks flowing again. I wish we could get that with some of the other WR's. I feel like Juju has that trust as well he just doesn't get as many opportunities.

Last offensive drive of the 1st half was a solid combination of runs and good catches. Noah Grey has become quite the solid red zone target for Mahomes.

Strange series of events with Garrett getting a strange face/eye injury and then Connor on the next series getting a concussion.

Johnson really coming up big after the Connor injury and knocking the 4th down pass down giving KC the opportunity for a score late in the first half.

Winning the turnover battle really helps with the punt fumble and Cook INT. Bolton with the nice INT on the first play of the 2nd half. Great play to get his hand on the ricochet and pull it in off of Chubb. The concentration he has to have to be able to snag that ball and pull it in. Chenal with the timely punch out of Chubb creating the 4th TO on the day for the Chiefs. Then McDuffie with the INT for 5 TO's. Hicks with an INT to end the game and get 6 TO's. That puts us as +2 on the year in turnovers.

Worthy with the nice catch and run for the TD...BUT he holds the ball like a loaf of bread, I have noticed this a few times in the past. He needs to tuck that ball, that's gonna come back to haunt him at some point.

The third quarter was really frustrating to watch. Don't know what the Browns were doing but having 9 incompletions in a row for Pat was frustrating to say the least.

Pat getting hurt in the 4th looks like an ankle again, getting trapped under a tackler and then bent backwards.https://i.ibb.co/42rrKPg/IMG-6484.jpg

Wentz does a good job in relief finding the open WR's.

Mahomes looked pretty awful today, honestly. I really hate to see him injured.

This team is very good at causing the most anxiety and chaos. I'll give them that.

I really want to watch the All 22 on this one - 'm not sure what the issue was today. Wentz seemed to hit Hopkins and Worthy right at the perfect moment for a completion but Pat was struggling with that. Makes me wonder if he is over compensating to only take the safest throws right now

The inability to protect their franchise QB is concerning, every week Mahomes is under duress and now an injured ankle. I don't recall Manning and Brady having to constantly deal with this kind of pressure. Not sure if it's Online or coaching, but enough already.

Mahomes has always preferred to move around in the pocket and not stay still. The ankle injury was a fluke oh him doing his jump shot pass. Didn't have anything to do with the protection. We actually were much better today (ZERO SACKS) than we have been all season.

The third quarter was atrocious though.

Fair enough, but it's not passing the eye test and only a matter of time until Mahomes is hurt more seriously imo. Hope I'm wrong.

Not sure when his contract expires or if he will hit free agency but I would be pretty excited to see the Chiefs pick up Jerome Ford if he becomes available. Big guy with speed.

It has been for the last several games.

Today the inability to hit on those deep passes was not the pass protection or the WR’s… it was Mahomes.

He doesn’t even give the receiver a chance… with the ball severely overthrown.

5 sacks
Zero sacks allowed by OL
Forced 6 turnovers
No passing TD’s allowed

Feels like a game from the twilight zone. The complete opposite of what we’ve seen all season

Yeah the timing is off. It’s like they are so focused on fixing everything else they don’t have time to practice the deep ball

I'd like to see Pat take a seat for the next game. I don't know what's going on with him, besides absolutely no protection from the O-line whatsoever, and he needs to deal with whatever is happening with himself.

Against the Texans?
