Any mistake, or error Mahomes makes is because he knows he has to be the cure-all for the offense. If even one of the tackles was competent today, or Reid & Nagy didn't call such a shit game, or Nagy didn't take Rice out for extended periods, or if Kelce could have not dropped two passes etc.
Mahomes isn't perfect. No one thinks he is. But saying he had anything to do with the loss is ridiculous. Was he responsible for losing to the Bucs in the SB? **** no.
He cannot be held to his 2018 - 2023 standard, when his offensive team is playing like the Herm Edwards/Todd Haley/Romeo Crennel teams. What do you people expect from him.

I know you followed that with "he can't be held to the previous standard", buuut... he looked like an entirely different quarterback that game.
He had no offensive line, the Bucs were blowing up the short stuff, his most reliable receivers were dropping shit and having balls go through their hands... and he was still locked in and flinging it all over the field.
Today he seemed to be second guessing himself quite a bit or looking at one read and then taking off; when in the past he's looking downfield until the very last second. He was off today, regardless of what was happening around him, IMO.
