That is called "hanging your defense out to dry", and I love Patrick as much as anyone not named Brittany, but that shit HAS to ****ing stop, but imho it's as much on Reid/Nagy/Bieniemy as much as Mahomes, if not more because the decision to keep him throwing at that point was stupid.
Hear me out :
The Broncos started running these fire zones with a spy, which kinda starting hemming Mahomes up, and everyone on the Discord chatting was SCREAMING for Reid to run Pacecho, up 27-0 "RUN THE GODDAMN BALL!!" but then Denver started showing the Fire Zone again, and then Zone Blitzing or dropping into a cover 2 spy, really disguising shit well and giving Mahomes happy feet and then they would go back to the concept of a fire zone with a spy - one of them was the pick where he threw into QUADRUPLE COVERAGE.
So they were definitely DOING that to Mahomes, and our offensive coaching staff.
So they were putting him in a position to fail, much like against the Bengals in all 3 games, where all they needed to do was protect their QB, their defense, and the lead by running the ball.
