I think those drives were as impressive as anything we've seen from him to date. But I think you're not going to win post-season games with fieldgoals and while I respect the hell out of his ability to flip the field and put points on the board, if we're going to be fair we need to acknowledge that in the post-season we're gonna want him to have a better success rate when he gets down there. 2 chip shot field goals and a 3rd that really should have been a chip shot but/for Mahomes taking a sack that made that one harder than it needed to be.
I agree - he'll play better. My point is that this team is built around HIM and when the rubber hits the road, we'll need him to be great to have great outcomes in the post-season. Might be an unfair expectation to put on the kid, but it is what it is.

Kelce dropped a perfect throw that should have been a TD and led to a field goal. I’m gonna hold the $10m veteran tight end to a higher standard than a quasi-rookie QB. Mahomes will learn from that game, but he was pretty damn good overall. 72 QBR against that defense is no joke. Brady won MVP last year averaging 73 QBR per game.
On the subject of drops, that needs to be tightened up. Young QB needs those guys to do their job. When the ball is there, catch it.
