Forgot how to audible to a run when faced with 3 down linemen? ANDY AND MAHOMES DONT RUN THE BALL,THATS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM.

Seriously...the amount of fail to hit at once for that to happen was spectacular. AMEN AND AGREED BUT PAT DIDN’T GO CRAZY, HAVE A CONCUSSION OR GET BRIBED. HE WAS JUST PUTTING TO MUCH PRESSURE ON HIMSELF TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME. I do think he was tired from running around so much and from the adrenaline and maybe that lead to him wanting to play it safe also after mistakes earlier in the game.

See answers above and mahomes didn’t hand that ball off on second down because he would have scored and he didn’t want to score. I think mahomes and Andy disagreed on the game so mahomes ran the play but didn’t want to score on 2nd bc it leave the bengals with too much time. Third down at the end, he’s afraid of a tipped pass. He had a spy LB that could have tipped the pass over the middle, not likely to actually happen but that’s what he feared.

Mahomes overthrows Pringle by a half yard on third down.

3rd possession

Awful INT. It was 2nd and 3 and there were eight guys in the box. They shouldn't have run it here.

4th possession

Dropped screen pass
Mahomes sacked on 3rd and 3

----

Next two possessions are FG (Mahomes missed open guys at end) and OT possession.

This wasn't a playcalling issue. Guys were open. Maybe not on the third and 3 but that will happen once inawhile.

Biggest issue on those four possessions is drops and Mahomes yips.

Our best guys just got beat and didn't do their jobs. That is hard to stomach.

100% agreed but mahomes scores on that 2nd down at the of the game with a pass to hardman if he believes the d will stop them. That equals too much pressure on mahomes. Dline has to be our number 1 focus this off-season. Not wr, rb or anything on offense or even safety. Spags can make it work with a dominant dline and take pressure of mahomes.

Believe it's real if you wish. I can't change your mind. I will watch with a side eye from now on

Well, if you don't want to open the door to talk about rigging, I would advise not bringing it up today. Or at all.

This team lives and dies with Mahomes, sorry.

They're not changing that.

I'm fine with that. So stack this offense more.

If you aren't going to run much and expect Mahomes to be God all the time get him 3 WR's that are dangerous.

Exactly. Need more than a couple of JAGS and a gadget guy to go with Hill.

It does but if the d is better mainly the dline, mahomes throws that pass to hardman for the td on 2nd down at the end of the 4th quarter. The bengals would have a little more than a minute to score but mahomes doesn’t believe the d stops them. And the d didn’t come close to stopping them in OT, so he might have been right.

THE PROBLEM is that mahomes has too much on him. I hope veach lives up to his presser and rebuilds the d line like he did the oline. We spent a ton on thuney and will spend a ton on brown. We need to spend a ton on the dline, chandler jones, and this will take some of the pressure off. A big name chandler takes some of the pressure off mahomes.

Clyde was the biggest waste of a pick of all time.

What an epic fail. Dude is never even used.

[LongSufferingToady]

Maybe the best thing to do is rip the radio out of Mahomes helmet so that he's not constantly barraged with EB antics?

[ntexascardfan]

We spent a lot of cap space and draft capital to build an offensive line that can maul teams.

When we needed to lean on the line and force Cinci to respect the run, we instead let Patrick throw the ball 75% of the time.

We need to find a runningback who will make teams pay for putting 8 in coverage and also form an offensive identity that doesn't mind mauling teams when they drop back in coverage.

Part of this is probably also on Mahomes, he needs to see those coverages pre snap and check out of pass plays into runs.

Mahomes playing hold my beer ball is ok with me

This guy in the video is spot on. Mahomes cold have struck gold at the 3:21 mark. We lost, it's on him and the rest is history. NFL rigged? Absolutely. Rodger Godell was in the stands. Mahomes would never be this ridicules with the quick strike here, never! It is "his" MO! At the least, if it is breaking down. kick the GODDAMN field goal after spiking the ball! WE should have won this game but instead, we shit the bed. Second half we still would have won with field goal at end of first half when we had the clock at the end of the second half - we could have won - 27 - 24 or 31 - 24 pick your poison.

Was not crushed after this loss at all - the signs were there after the first quarter screw up!

Whatever, move on to the next season and let the Bengals win the SB in Sofi. They deserve it.

Though I could certainly end up being wrong, I have a feeling they're going to get blown out.
