QB School: Mahomes missed two chances to go to the SB

[Hammock Parties]

Hardman, Kelce or Pringle.

He just missed them. Period.

If you think this is a normal looking **** up...you have not been watching the Chiefs since Mahomes has been with them. Interceptions, yes. But NOT throwing the ball when you have an easy TD? When have you EVER seen this type of shit from him?

He was doing this multiple times early in the season. Missing guys, bad pocket presence, seeing ghosts, etc. This isn’t new for him but because of how easy the first half was the collapse is that much more noticeable.

I wrote about how the Bengals launched their spectacular comeback and how the Chiefs blew a three-possession lead in the AFC Championship Game ($). Two of the nuggets I saw after taking a closer look... https://t.co/4ki6Zob2Rv

I hate this. The Bengals didn’t do anything “unbelievable.”

I worry about Mahomes mental state of mind. We seriously need to look at a decent backup QB. Mahomes may have tot sake the year off to get his mind back to normal

It's gonna be okay, dude.

Running the ball twice there at the end of regulation was definitely the play. Maybe even three times depending on how close to the goal line we got. I believe the 2nd down play was a RPO that Mahomes pulled out to throw (which was a bad idea).

lol what

I think he was embarrassed with himself by the way he handled the last play of the first half. On top of making a bad decision that cost us points, he tried calling timeout when we didn’t have any. Could have been a little humiliating for someone that was getting the sort of praise he was getting after the Bills game.

I don't know what happened, and we likely never will, but it is definitely strange. Something. Happened. And guys on this team know what it is. I'd be amazed that it could be kept under wraps. If it was something sinister, it'll get leaked. And as was stated, if it was purposeful, I'm out.

He just lost confidence and played badly against a different coverage look. It's not the first time this season that has happened with him. Not really a big mystery.

I pretty much always want the ball in Mahomes’s hands with the game on the line, but even I have my limits.

The interior OL was so dominant, that I really can’t understand why we wouldn’t trust them in that spot.

No doubt in my mind we’re heading to the Super Bowl if we run it on second and third.

Did we even have a single carry for negative yardage? I think practically every run gained at least a yard.

Or in his career.

BB had Mahomes looking like a ****ing reerun. Twice.

Denver's D also gave him trouble in those early matchups.

Being able to shift into the Kareem Hunt Experience was a massive, massive deal and Reid was quick to do it in that era.

He needs to find a better way to move past mistakes and keep focus. He's definitely let himself get psyched out a few times this season.

What's all the more puzzling is that this wasn't a problem before this season for him.

Extremely. Even the ass whoopin we took in 55 and he was flinging awesome passes

I was shocked when Mahomes pulled the ball out to throw. Just another of his bad decisions that half.

Worst case scenario if you run there is you get stopped for no gain and the clock runs down to 40ish seconds left (which would render it nearly impossible for the Bengals to score a TD in response). The best case and perhaps most likely scenario is they would have scored. They shouldn't have even given Mahomes the option there.

He throws it on probably 95% of the RPO plays. Defenses know the tendency. Scrap those RPO’s from the playbook and just run the ball or throw the ball on those plays. No options.
