You guys have bitched all year about Sky and others not reading the defense on option routes and being on the same page. Then when Sky reads it right, you still bitch. Again, the Dback was over the top, you don't make that lofted throw, you put it on a line to the back shoulder. It appears that is what Sky was expecting and it's what Mahomes should have did.
Look, Mahomes is struggling too. On the first drive, first and goal, it's supposed to be a 3 step drop with a quick throw to Pacheco. Pacheco is open, Mahomes is looking at him, gets to his back foot, and doesn't throw it. If he does, it will be a gain if not a TD. However, he didn't and is sacked as it was being blocked as a 3 step drop. That made that drive exponentially harder and we settled for 3. Mahomes is overthinking when he gets to his back foot of his drop and is not throwing the ball consistently. That may be trust in the WR's, etc, but if Mahomes is who we know he is, he needs to get better as well. I think he will and I am not panicking.
