No, it’s really not. His LT has been garbage for most of the year, and he was uncharacteristically inaccurate today. Nothing more, nothing less. Step away from the ledge.

Again, the defense allowed ONE score on a long breakaway run. The game was in hand a long time ago, regardless of how much the cowards whined about it.

I still say give Mahomes the Tin Cup treatment. Have him meet with a therapist to see if he can get rid of his yips.

He literally has regressed. If no one thinks so go back and look at those 2018-2019 years when he was throwing the ball all over the field into tight windows and hitting Reek deep with accuracy.

Wentz came in and the offense looked immediately better.

Sorry, he is a hero of mine so I've been in denial.

It's getting hard to justify defending his play. I feel like I'm watching Alex Smith again.

Chiefs had SIX drives go three-and-out for 20 yards today.

Terrible play-calling and terrible execution with Mahomes missing wide open receivers multiple times (either because he didn't see them or because he under/overthrew them).

Shouldn't have this much to clean up this deep into the season but it was a great performance by the defense so there is that.

A healthy Mahomes is more important than the one seed and we probably still get it wither way. Just get him right. However long it takes.

Defense played great and so did Thuney.

My homer glasses are in their protective case. It just gets tiring reading all of the bitching week in and week out over a 13-1 team. Everyone has been bitching about sphincter clenching last second one score wins for weeks, we finally don’t have one if those and instead of being grateful that we avoided that, everyone starts bitching about something else instead.

This place is on the perpetual rag.

I actually think he misses EB from a fundamental perspective.

I thought the Oline played ok but guess not.

Patrick Mahomes has been pressured 54% of the time today, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

That's the highest pressure rate he's faced in a game since 2020.

Hollywood is going to fix everything next week (thinly veiled sarcasm)

O line played much better in first half

I get the argument but his ankle is a recurring issue. A rest would be nice but we still need some things to happen to clinch the top seed. We're not there yet.

And yes, we need the top seed this year more than last year. A tougher AFC and we had an earlier BYE week.

You think people should be happy because Mahomes got hurt due to the stupid ****ing playcalling?

That’s certainly . . . . . . . . . a take.

Probably off to get an x-ray? Or maybe just to the media/press conference room?

Every Chiefs fan loves Pat. This board ran with my "**** Pat he sucks" comment earlier in the season when he threw a pick and then blew out Rice's knee. But it was a one off comment in that moment.

But he's been ASS basically all year. I watch other games each week and see QB's make throws deep with regularity and terrible line play.

Pat just sucks this year. Doesn't mean he won't turn it around, but last year it was the drops. This year, it's him. Today he had some great pockets at times and he was still awful.
