Mahomes' Confidence?

There is blame to go around for sure. Part of the problem, is the D didn't step up and get stops when we needed them in the second half.

No one really stepped up and got open in the passing game. OL sucked in the second.

Our entire fate always rests on Mahomes saving everyone else's a**. I feel like that's a little different than say Brady, who seems to demand/elevate everyone else around him. Brady had plenty of games where he didn't look that great, but there were often other players that stepped up and held them together until they found a way to win.

My problem with Reid is we always have these crazy games where we totally blow one half and look amazing in the other. Starting fast and scoring 2 or 3 TD's in the first 15 play script, and then choking away a lead is a pattern.

But comparing Reid and Mahomes to Brady/Belichick is probably a very unfair standard to compare them to.
