Mother****er...

We don't score 3 touchdowns on 3 series with Alex to start the game though.

But, he wouldn't have scored 3 straight TD's to start the game.

Yup.

Smith wouldn't have tried that throw to Kelce and hell, maybe he shouldn't have. It's a throw Mahomes has made in his sleep 20 times because he has the arm to get that in there before anything can close up.

But man, that throw to Hardman is a throw that Smith makes 10 times out of 10. Because it was just easy money. It's a little flip out wide and if you put it out there, there's no picking it off.

He was freaked the **** out. He was afraid he'd hang it up and get it cut under. And when he sees the tape he'll understand how wrong that was. But when he was out there in real time he was scared to hell and gone.

He just had so many bad hops and unlucky bounces (one more to effectively end the season) that he started seeing ghosts. He passed on that Hardman throw a couple weeks ago as well when he had to scramble for the 2-pt throw to CEH.

He just got rattled this year. Hopefully the off-season helps him shake it off. Kid's been a gunslinger his whole life and I think some pretty overwhelming pressure to be great all the time finally got to him.

We saw just how young PMII really is. He's caught between being too young to know any better and old enough to not give a shit.

I hate to see that. Not for me as a fan (again - we won a title so I can die in peace). But for Mahomes. He's taken so damn much on himself and he finally cracked. And he's gonna kick the shit out of himself for it.

Mahomes is still young. Still learning the position at an NFL level. He will learn to just hand it off if the box is light because that makes him more dangerous.

Shit man, guy's still learning if he likes boxers or briefs.

He's a ****ing kid. And when you're Burrow or Herbert or Allen or whatever, you can hang it all out there because you're just too young and too stupid to know this game is hard. Expectations haven't been heaped on you yet. You're playing with house money so you just don't care. We saw it for 3 years with PM.

He's under a sort of pressure that NONE of these guys have been under. There are, what, 3 guys in the league right now that have? Brady and Rodgers - possibly Wilson?

This 'face of the shield' shit is just different. And when you have every swinging dick in the media waiting for you to make a mistake so they can shit on you as some overrated flash in the pan, it just makes it worse.

I just hate it for him. Fairness seems a silly thing to talk about but man, it sure doesn't seem fair at all, does it?

This won't break him.

If anything, we see a more aggressive Mahomes in these situations to start next season.

He's going to let it rip. He did on his last pass.

Go check out LeBron's season after the Mavericks series embarrassment. Arguably the best year of his career. Played with an anger that has been rarely been seen since.

I wouldn't expect anything different from Mahomes either.

Because it was 3rd down. It was convert or, at worst, arm punt. He wasn't scared because there really wasn't a true downside.

Alex would have never made it past the Bills. Pat deserves his share of that 2nd half shit sammich but he will get that figured out.

Something happened we'll never hear about..not even talking about the rigged stuff but something happened.

You don't come out at half after literally going through a defense like a hot knife through butter...and all of the sudden look like someone ran over your dog.

The whole team, but mainly Kelce and Mahomes had pouty jobber face.
It literally doesn't make any amount of sense.

Easily the weirdest part of the whole ordeal to me.

These guys are confident fiery leaders. And they just checked out with a double digit lead in the biggest game of the season.

There's a story to be figured out here, and props to any journalist who can uncover it.

So. Freaking. Bizarre.

I consider myself a "journalist". This is the YEAR OF THE TIGER, Chinese Zodiac. Bengals win the Super Bowl because of this.

He was running for his life all game in last years Super Bowl, but he kept trying. No sulking.

Did something happen in the locker room at halftime?

I doubt we ever know even if a reporter digs around. It could have been something in private in Reids office or something. But, thats not Reid's thing. He doesn't yell at players in the heat of the moment. Especially, Mahomes.
