He's not a Chiefs fan - he's a Mahomes fan. So it behooves him to pre-emptively shift blame to anything NOT Mahomes going into the games. The easiest way to do that is to just say the rest of the team can't handle all the [insert opponent awesomeness] that they're going to run into.
It's fairly lame.

I’m rooting as hard for KC to win as you are. This is the NFL, so I respect their opponents. It’s not like KC is blowing out other teams by 30 points every week, which you see with college or high school powerhouse teams. In fact this season KC has been pretty far short of the betting spread fairly often. There’s no point in being arrogant before the games IMHO.
Mahomes is part of the reason they have struggled to live up to their potential. I’ve never said the dude is perfect and I’ve criticized him pretty often on here. My biggest complaint with him is the tendency to force the deep ball on 3rd down. He’s not accurate enough to be wasting 3rd down like that. Patrick’s fumble the other night was a horrible mistake and I posted that in the game thread. Forcing the ball into coverage is a problem as well. He needs to improve on the turnovers. He had 12 INT this season and I would like to see that number knocked down to 6 INT, or even less in future seasons.
