Mahomes has had more time to throw than I've ever seen in the past. Not even the Jets got got that much heat on Patrick. All our struggles came from our receivers' lack of separation. Yes, the penalties are bad but the play calling is lackluster as well. This is not Playoff Chief Football. This is week four and we're trying to get a feel for the young guys football.

Trust me, when the offense destroys the much lesser secondary of the Vikings all will be well. We won't see a more talented defense the Jets fielded. (That is largely because the Jets likely will miss the Playoffs.)

Not really liking this signing - paying LT money to a RT who gets drive killing penalties nearly every game and who simply isn't a shutdown tackle.

He's being targeted obviously. Lane Johnson is taking off earlier than him every game but no call on that guy?

And I saw the Packers hold Karlaftis a handful of times and it got called once. They also had hands to the face on Danna on the long Love pass completion.

Those mothe****ers straight up tackled Karlaftis preventing a sack and no call was made but Taylor apparently holding an OL 10 yards away from the play that had nothing to do with the play at ****ing all.

Pure bullshit

You can see the talent, he moves well and has solid if maybe not elite strength. He's a below-par run blocker and I'm not sure that's changing, and the cost always seemed a lot to me, even when he was reportedly switching to LT.

But the penalties, he's got to get this figured out. You simply can't dump that much money into a position that becomes a penalty magnet. I'm not sure it's fair right now he's a problem.

Yes exactly! I just don't understand all the complaints about the tackles. The receivers aren't getting separation so mahomes holds the ball longer. It leads to holding from time to time but imagine obj and willey back there with these receivers. Yuck.

He's obviously talented, but is this guy just stupid, or what?

How do you lead the entire league in penalties as a RT? I know there was a 2-week span where he was watched like a hawk by the refs, unfairly. But still.
