Pat always says he's responsible when plays go bad, which is exactly what he's supposed to do as QB, and what he's always done, so I never pay a ton of attention to what he says about his performances in the post-game pressers. It's just boilerplate.


go back and look at the clip. I think Mahomes didn't see Nixon with all the bodies between him and where he was putting the ball. So that's on Mahomes.


However, replay it at half-speed, and look at it as if Skyy had run full speed through the whole route instead of slowing down. My guess is that he's at least a full stride farther downfield, and at the catchpoint when Nixon gets his hands on it. Now, does Skyy catch the ball at that point? Maybe not. Probably not. But he would've been in perfect position to able to try and defend that INT certainly. And note when Pat releases that ball; he's anticipating Skyy running top speed, because if Skyy does, he's right there when the ball arrives.


Still, i think the best possible outcome there would've been for Pat to throw that ball away for an INC. Trying to fit it in there to Skyy was probably a bad decision. But Skyy didn't help things by inexplicably slowing down.


But this isn't about one play, or one game. These gaffes by the passing offense have been going on for at least 5 weeks now. And we know that most of them are on the WRs, not Pat.

I mean, let's go ahead and say that Mahomes was 100% responsible for that INT, whatever. I'll give you that one, if we can talk truthfully about all the other missed opportunities in previous games where Pat delivered perfect passes to MVS, JWat or Skyy.

Mahomes is not having his best year, but these WRs aren't helping him out at all either. They aren't raising their level of play to help out their struggling QB. Or struggling OC, or HC or whoever you want to call out. Aside from Rice, they've actually all shrunk over the last 5 or so weeks, if that's actually possible.
