Chiefs Patrick Mahomes isn't "broken" you ****ing dorks - Page 25

"broken" "abomination" "Rick Ankiel"

These are all words that people used to describe Patrick ****ing Mahomes tonight. I mean, are you listening to yourselves? Rick ****ING Ankiel?????

Look, I'm not going to pretend like he's been himself all year. He's not seeing the field as well as usual, he's struggling to trust his OL and occasionally scrambling out of clean pockets, he's missing some throws, some of those turnovers have actually been his fault and not just the receivers being unable to hold onto the ****in ball.

But all the wannabe psychologists and family therapists on this site are driving me up a ****ing wall. You don't know what the **** is going on in his head and you don't know what affect his family life has on his play.

What you DO know, based on a 3 season sample size, is that he's the greatest QB through ~50 games in NFL history. You know that he's won multiple comeback playoff games, two AFC titles, and a Super Bowl. You even know (or at least you ****ing should, unless you've been too busy moaning to actually read anything), that by most metrics he's actually been pretty good overall this season. His "turnover worthy" plays are actually DOWN from past years. He's #4 in the league in touchdowns. His TD% is identical to last season and higher that 2019. Before Tennessee, which is easily the biggest outlier of his career including the other "bad" games this season, he was leading one of the most efficient offenses of all time in terms of points per drive — yes, better than 2018. I know it doesn't feel that way because so many guys on this team (including, yes, Patrick himself on a few occasions) can't hold onto the ****ing ball. But that's the ****ing truth.

If he were moping during press conferences or lashing out on social media, I might give a little bit more credence to the narrative that he's moments away from a nervous breakdown. Not very much, but a little bit. But he's not. He's being honest (almost to a fault) about his role in the team's struggles and projecting confidence that he can turn it around. What more can he possibly do to convince some of you losers to hold onto a bit of that confidence yourselves? Does he need to go back in time and miraculously heal Schwartz and Fisher and win that Super Bowl? Should he just commit seppuku at midfield? What do you want??

Patrick Mahomes is not broken. He's slumping. Every QB slumps occasionally. Not every QB calls having the 4th best QBR (64.1) and 6th best EPA (46.3, just above the dreaded Aaron Rodgers) a ****ing slump. Personally, even after 8 underwhelming-to-miserable games and a 4-4 record, I'm gonna give the kid a little more leeway before calling for him to be committed to the god damn psych ward. I think he's earned at least that much.

Yeah, everything about the offense seems more relaxed. They've had spurts of that, mostly at the beginning of games, but have put together some good drives tonight.

carcosa · 11-14-2021, 08:42 PM

Next step is to start hitting those deep throws again

carcosa · 11-14-2021, 08:45 PM

Overall pretty good first half

I wouldn't watch sports if I didn't think at least some of the players gave a shit beyond a paycheck.... and just a wild guess, the guy running for 500 yards in the Super Bowl even after his team is down several scores is the one who gives a shit.

Nothing like internet guy who has never done anything with the amount of public scrutiny or time/energy needed as a pro athlete, saying that feeling exhaustion or pressure is BS because it's "a game" and they get paid well for it.

And yet that same internet guy will blow up said player's Twitter telling them how much they suck if they have a bad day, or vilify them for doing anything other than working out or watching film 24/7.

Seems more confident tonight. Hopefully he can keep it going.

The only critique I'd give Patrick is his accuracy/touch on deep passes are inconsistent

Look at what happens when you play in rhythm and don't pass over your hall of fame tight end

We did that much of the first half of the season.

Look what happens when your defense actually makes stops? I wish I could say about not making dumb mistakes but....

We can't play in rhythm because our defense and dipshit turnovers have made every drive do or die.

Been the case for his entire career though.

**Bearcat** · 11-14-2021, 09:20 PM

Seeing this offense execute and... FFS, it's not that difficult to take what the defense gives them, right? And no matter how good or bad the Raiders are or whatever, these guys didn't even look remotely good against the NY****inG.

Leads me to lean towards Mahomes being hurt in previous weeks.

Of course, not shooting themselves in the feet helps a lot, too.... but, damn, where the **** has this been?!?

Hopefully if he is hurt, he can get through one more game. After Dallas they will have a bye and he can recover some.

The offense is also running the cover 2 busters that have been mysteriously missing from the playbook until now. Running behind a dominant interior OL, dump passes to RBs in the flat, and even saw at least one quick slant. Only thing missing seems to be the 4 deep routes.

Bad defense or turnovers shouldn't stop you from hitting Kelce when he's wide open.

PattyFlakes · 11-14-2021, 09:44 PM

That pass to Tyreek to seal the game last week got him out of his funk. He looks like vintage Mahomes tonight.
