Had a conversation with my boss where he brought up David Carr with the Texans.

David wasn't very good, but he also had a horrendous OL and got mercilessly beat up. Eventually he started just falling down when there was any sign of pressure coming towards him, expecting the sack before it even happened.

Made me think about Mahomes. When you've been getting consistent pressure for what feels like going back all the way to last season, everything breaks down. Anticipation, footwork, confidence, etc. We've talked about it plenty, you start seeing ghosts and run from clean pockets, then hang in there when the pressure swallows you up.

I think it makes more sense than blaming Nagy or blaming the playcalling, even though the playcalling to end the game was horrendous. Everything about Mahomes game breaking down seems more about him not being comfortable back there.

EDIT: I should maybe also contribute to the conversation lol. If Mahomes is hurt and on a short week, maybe rest and some perspective is what he needs. It might be what the whole team needs, frankly.
