Hardman, Kelce or Pringle.

He just missed them. Period.

I can attribute this to one of two things:

1) He threw the game
2) He had a concussion we didn't know about.

There really isn't much else there to describe the failure to throw it to wide-open receivers drive after drive in that 2nd half.

I'd like to believe it wasn't 1, but my eyes tell me otherwise.

Couple that with Chris Jones miraculously missing 3 sacks he just doesn't miss and Sorensen running away from the receiver he was told to cover by 4 other players, and I just can't. I can't chalk this up to "well we failed because."

Yeah, anybody seriously suggesting Patrick Mahomes threw a game has completely lost the plot and may want to stop thinking about this shit for a while until they're ready to return to the world of rational thought rather than crazy conspiracy.

He struggled against a different, unfamiliar coverage look (far from the first time that happened this season) and progressively lost confidence in what he was doing as the half went on. It happens.

Also, if I was going to throw a game, I probably wouldn't take the chance of leading my team down the field until they got inside the 5 at the end of regulation when a decent run is all it would have taken to score and win. Seems like a pretty unnecessary risk for the success of any rigging.

If Mahomes didn't "throw" the game, then he choked so bad his mind took a holiday...

And that may be an ongoing problem with Mahomes for his entire career... ala Brett Favre.

Which means when he's stressed AND unanchored (lack of ability to calm himself) then we're going to see this each and every time.

Please see the Buffalo game.

I consider that game his best of his career. He handled the pressure and was NOT unanchored.

So what happened with Cincy?

We'll never know. My point was that he's been CLUTCH just about every time that he's had the chance, that I just can't buy your take that this could be an ongoing issue with him. I think it's anomaly and there is plenty of evidence to support that.

The coverage isn’t what got him. Teams throw different shit at him constantly in the playoffs and he rips it apart

He was less accurate, uncomfortable, and less confident in the 2nd half. Inexplicably

In the past when teams rushed 3 against him he destroyed the defense because they were giving him too much time. This was just a bad performance by him.

That was such a massive chokejob, it’s fair to wonder if he’s now damaged goods from a mental standpoint. We will see if he can dig himself out of it. I hope so!

Threw the game? Butt ****ing morons.

Chiefs=Champions · 02-01-2022, 04:01 AM

The he threw the game calls are hilarious. The guy just played in the best game ever played the week before, and he was facing a team which had clawed themselves back against us once already this season. He felt the pressure he's human. Not to mention the shit that was said about his fiance and brother during the week. He by all accounts pays attention to it, the guy was just looking drained. Even Tom Brady lost a few superbowls and a couple of playoff games here or there.

Chiefs=Champions · 02-01-2022, 04:07 AM

The one thing Pat needs to improve on is pulling the trigger on contested tight throws. It happened earlier in the year. Players started dropping passes and he gets a little gun shy. He's so smart and unbelievable at creating space for himself that at times he leans on that instead of just hitting the easy read that might be slightly contested or in traffic.

You're a moron. QBs have good and bad halves all the time. Hell they have good quarters then bad quarters. They are human beings, not machines. Defense also make adjustments, in case you didn't know.

And why the hell would he throw the game? For money? Yeah I don't think he needs any. You think he's a closest Bengals fan? **** out of here w that bullshit.

My best guess is that the yips can be suppressed but never fully go away and can flare up given a variety of situational circumstances.

Watching Mahomes run around in indecision like Matt Cassel having a stroke reminds me of my brain while standing over a wedge shot I've hit a thousand times for a second too long and then I go full Charles Barkley for a half dozen rounds.
