There are a whole lot of people who acknowledge the issues and enjoy deep diving into them AND also acknowledge "because Mahomes" those issues might not matter.
And every year I think I know what matters and it doesn't....
2020, they did great against the best teams in the league in the regular season, but injuries and Brady refs said **** you.
2021, offense went to shit for weeks against the best teams and a couple trash teams, just for :13 to happen... then of course the offense did go to shit.
2022, lost close games to the Bills and Bengals, Mahomes gets hurt, doesn't matter, won SB.
This year we could look back and laugh at this thread, and no matter what we'll be bumping posts to claim fake victory over opinions that don'tmean shit.... I'd love to think these games coming up will tell us a lot, but who the hell knows.
So, I just sit back and laugh at the worst of the doomsayers because they don't ****ing know either, and hopefully they don't have a stroke before finding out.

I agree with most of this.
There hasn't been a single season during Mahomes' tenure where the team didn't have some issues either offensively or defensively and the fanbase didn't have anything to complain about. There's always something to nitpick. That's natural.
Despite that, this team is on an incredible run over the last six seasons.
2020 was pretty close to a perfect season record wise. I was sure we would steamroll everyone. Yet they laid an egg in the Super Bowl. Last year there were more concerns and they won the Super Bowl.
Remember how beatable the Patriots looked during some of their Superbowl runs? Yet the bastards still won when everyone counted them out.
