The best, most critical player on the team (possibly in the NFL), played like microwaved dog shit for the last 7ish drives of that game and so we lost.
That's an L well earned. And it's one that's going to follow Mahomes and Reid for a very long time. And yeah - it should. For an entire half of football our Golden Boy played like Matt Cassel and so we lost.
Not sure what else there is to say about it or what else there is to take from it. Mahomes is mortal and finally demonstrated as such.
It just is what it is. So now I'll decompress for awhile, stick my head up come draft season, see what we do to deal with the pressing issues on the roster through the coming months and be ready come August. And in the back of my mind I'll even be hand-waiving regular season results because we're at the 'who gives a shit?' stage of the game.
In a lot of ways this result is pretty easy to take. It's obvious what happened. What happened was rare. It's also capable of repetition, if unlikely. Frankly it was amazing he hadn't laid an egg in the post-season yet.
So...moving on.

We really should re-name this the 'Moving On Lounge'. Mods?
