But I think focus and attention to detail by players is what causes problems in these games, and if it’s like last year, it just isn’t near the same issue in the playoffs. Not for Patrick at least.

Because it's not about winning or losing some random game in the regular season. It's about not really loving what you're seeing for the purposes of the post-season.
The team has been AMAZING at keeping their head down and winning games when the only goal they have isn't really something they can do about until January. The loss has nothing to do with it.
It's that we've been seeing the same thing since, IMO, week 2. He looked really sharp in Week 1 and really hasn't looked the same since. He was pretty sharp against the Raiders and pretty good against the Bucs and 49ers. But the Ravens game is still the only time this season where I felt like he was locked in from start to finish.
It's just...a little disconcerting.

No doubt. But he's still playing better than when he had that stretch when we were 3-4 7 weeks into 2021.
I'm not up here pumping unicorns and rainbows, and I agree Mahomes hasn't been playing well. Which is inexplicable given how much of a Terminator he is. But it's not new and it's not the worst it's been. I don't have an explanation other than they're not robots and this shit is HARD.
