If they don't turn it over twice tonight they have 30 points, maybe 34.

Same story every week.
The truth is buried by the excuses being made for Mahomes' play. I pounded the table for the kid prior to getting drafted and have been one of his biggest fans since college, so I'm fairly immune to the rah rah bullshit being spewed in every thread that calls him out. He's staring at the rush instead of down the field and he's late with throws or missing open targets because of it. Patrick is putting the team in bad situations as much as the next guy right now.
I'm not sure if he'll fix it or not, which worries me. We've seen good QBs go down this path before and not come out of it. None, of course, as good as Patrick has been nor with the confidence I've seen him exude to date, but the point remains. I'm hoping it's just a trust issue he can overcome as he learns to get better at playing within and up in the pocket. It very well might not go away this season and could take a change at LT to clean it up. We'll have to see and, hopefully, sooner than later.
