Time to pump some sunshine!

I'm done with the negativity and I'm tired of seeing people question Mahomes and saying Andy's lost it. In this thread I'm going to show you all that this offense and Patrick Mahomes outside of uncharacteristic turnovers is the best it's ever been.

So PFR has several stats that allow you to see how an offense is doing. The first two I want to show you are the percent of drives that result in a turnover and the percent of drives that end in a score. So far this year KC is scoring on 52.2% of it's drives which just happens to be 1st in the league. The most astonishing thing about that is the fact that we turn the ball over on 21.7% of our drives.

Now let's look at the best in the league in the scoring category and the worst in the league on the turnover category since 2007, so 14 years which should be a pretty good sample size. In that time the average of the league leaders in scoring% is 48.8. This year our scoring percent was only bested by 3 other teams in that 14 year span.

2018 Chiefs 52.6%
2016 Falcons 52.6%
2007 Patriots 52.7%

Those 3 teams TO%

2018 Chiefs 10.5%
2016 Falcons 6.3%
2007 Patriots 7.8%

The average TO% of the league leaders in scoring%

8.1%

It was only higher than 10% 4 times and was never higher than 11.5%.

The average TO% for the worst team in each year is

19.3%

The highest it ever got was in 2017 and that was 21%. The Kansas City Chiefs would have the highest TO% and 4th highest scoring% in the last 15 years if this continued. With what we know about this team under Patrick Mahomes regarding TOs and scoring, what do you think is more likely to hold up?

Maybe now you are saying well they are kicking more FGs and thats where bring up their avg drive stats. I only went back and looked at those stats during Mahomes' time as a starter, but here they are

Avg Drive Time and Rank

2019 2:52 (6)

Yards Per Drive and Rank

2018 39.8 (1)
2019 37 (3)
2020 40.7 (1)

2018 3.12 (1)
2019 2.59 (3)
2020 2.74 (4)
2021 3.22 (1)

Teams are slowing us down and we are making them pay. Unless we turn it over. This team WILL reduce the amount of turnovers and then oh boy watch out. I don't know what PMII's MVP odds are now, but I'd put down a bet.

Will some people now stop blaming any of our suck on Patrick?

Well, seeing as how it's a staple of Andy Reid's offense going back twenty years, I'd say both.

Haven't we been doing that underhand toss to the TE for like 3 years at least? I remember commentators and analysts showing how innovative it was. If teams had any answer for it they'd be able to stop it by now and we wouldn't have used it as much.

Cut down on the turnovers by just half and this is the best offense the NFL has ever seen eye test and statistically. That's even with the biggest bum #2 WR in the entire NFL and MEH running into his O linemen.
