Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Put it this way: If I told you that those were Mahomes' stats for any game, how much would you bet between say, $1 and $100, the Chiefs won that game? I know I'd put a $100 on it every time.

But with Cousins, you just don't know . . .

If Patrick fumbled at his own 10 yard line and his best receiver fumbled at the opponent’s goal line, I would guess there is a pretty strong chance of losing the game. Margins are too narrow in pro football to gift-wrap a 14 point swing to the other team.

Yeah, we're just talking past each other now. Again, what are the chances that you'd have a QB fumble and lose the ball on his own 10, AND a WR for the same team would fumble a ball out the back of the EZ in the same game? Pretty small odds, right?

Then I posed it with Pat in there instead of Kirk. So think about it:

How many times has Pat had to deal with a situation like that? Maybe a handful, right? It just doesn't happen that often is the point.

Unless you're Kirk Cousins. Shit like that happens to him all the freaking time.

We just saw the Chiefs lose a game with a super flukey Pick 6. It's hard to overcome that kind of BS, no matter who the QB is. Gotta play clean football. I sure hope the Chiefs will be able to do it on Sunday. I think they cannot afford major mistakes against a pretty good Jaguars team.

True, but the same is also true for the Jags. They can’t make major mistakes against us and expect to win.

Agreed. It's a thin margin in both directions. I sure hope KC can find a way to play clean football and get the victory.
