Chiefs QB School: Mahomes missed two chances to go to the SB - Page 9

Hammock Parties · 01-31-2022, 05:33 PM

Hardman, Kelce or Pringle.

He just missed them. Period.

I don't appreciate the way this threads going right now, it'd probably be best if everyone just shut the hell up and let it go... before they say something that can't be taken back

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.

Some just really can't handle tough losses in sports. This was a particularly bad one, I admit, but we literally won a SB two years ago and will be a contender as long as Mahomes stays with this organization. I can't have any real complaints.

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.

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?

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.

My only worry is burnout. Not just him, but the rest of the team.

4 AFCCG in four seasons is a **** ton of extra football, and Herbert is right there in our own division.

This season was tough, next season might be tougher.

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.

I thought I saw him talking to them in a huddle in a video or on tv.

I knew that on that 3rd and goal from the 9, that someone had to be open, unless the Bengals were holding all over the place. I'm actually happier that we missed the play than the Bengals getting away with holding.

Clearly, Mahomes uncharacteristically lost his nerve in the second half of that game. It happens. It is just really unexpected for it to happen to Mahomes with the game on the line. Probably goes back to the last play of the 2nd half and whatever happened in the locker room during halftime. Normally he would shake something like that off. He just played way too tentative in the 2nd half.

He'll shake it off, it is just a really unsettling way to end the season for him not to even throw a pass with all that time and guys open.

It certainly may happen eventually (and I do think the Chiefs will eventually lose the AFC West division at some point with Herbert and potentially Rodgers in-division, it's inevitable), but I expect him to be particularly motivated and focused next year coming off this loss.
