*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****

IT ****ING HAPPENED



OP UPDATE:

Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy!

And he would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

Bad play for Mahomes, no doubt.

On the other hand, Kelce had his hands on the football.

Good angle, though. You can tell that the Pats DBs had been practicing sticking tight to receivers on a scramble. They weren't surprised that he was looking to throw at the last possible second and they were also attempting to cover every possible level. Well coached defense, right there.

I don’t even think it was a bad decision..trailing right before half his d can’t stop a dog turd from scoring badly needs a touchdown..trying to make something happen on third down can’t blame him

But that extra field goal would've been nice

Circumstances make it a bad decision

I like aggression, but a FG could've been big there.

Also, you'll see Ware was open on the right side of the screen



Mahomes isn't perfect, even when he's dragging 270 lb players for 7 yards

That's a bad decision, dude. Ended up costing us at least 3 points in a game that ended up 43-40. It's all good though, he's more than capable of making up for any questionable decisions.

Turnover. Bad. Field Goal. Good.

I’m pretty sure that was on first down. Slightly more excusable on 3rd in the name of being aggressive and going for the TD. Still the correct thing in that scenario is to make sure you get points on both the final drive before the half and when you get the ball first in the second half. That’s the whole reason teams defer until the second half. It gives you a chance to score back to back and really put pressure on the other team. Hopefully Mahomes learned that lesson and also learned that scoring too quickly almost as bad as not scoring at all. With our defense we should just consider that giving the ball back to the opponent with more than 15 seconds left is bad clock management. We almost lost the Denver game due to poor clock manangement too.

On the last Denver drive, KC ate up a lot of clock, but you have to remember that the #1 goal when trailing is to take the lead, not run off clock. People complaining about the 75 yard score to Hill are crazy. Could you imagine if Hill stopped and KC failed to score on the drive, losing 33-40?

You have a defense for a reason. They were a yard away from stopping NE and giving the all back to the Chiefs.

You NEVER pass upon opportunities to score.

On a side note, they shouldn’t have tackled gronkowski. Let him get the td with 1:30 left. I trust 15 to go get points.

But, throwing a pass with a LB on your back into triple coverage across your body?

He was tired of FG’s & decided to push the envelope.

hightower should have been flagged right there for roughing the passer

I know what you mean, but I truly think you have to re-evaluate some of the generally accepted concepts when the defense is playing the way ours was that game. Against the Jags, same situation, sure get the points. Against the Pats, the way they were moving the ball all night? Did anyone actually believe that Brady wasn’t going to be able to ge them in position to kick a FG with 3 minutes and timeouts to work with? No, we all knew the defense wasn’t going to hold. Brady and the Pats didn’t go for it all at once when they got it back, because they knew that Mahomes could likely go right back down the field and score himself. They trusted their team to execute what was needed. They needed to burn clock and get a FG and that’s exactly what they did. No more no less.

The Patriots get a penalty? You're a funny guy.
