Also, some of those punts were the result of receivers not catching a perfectly catchable ball. Is that really Burrow's fault? Should he have walked over and handed the ball to the receiver? Or, realized through his precognitive abilities that that particular receiver was going to drop the pass, and chosen a different receiver instead?
We could even get into play-calling, if we wanted to, though I'm not going to dive into that. But is it Joe's fault when the first play is a run that gets a yard, then they run the next play that gets flagged for holding or whatever, and now they're 2nd and really long? Is that Joe's fault, or does he get a pass there?
If we take Joe out of it and it's Pat in there instead, do you give him a pass in those situations?

You said “high level.” He obviously didn’t do that. High level play overcomes all of the excuses you are trying to make for him yesterday.
And no, I wouldn’t give Mahomes a pass given I’ve been one pointing out him missing open receivers in these games and bailing pockets too quick.
