Thing is, it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense. Either he's not reading the field as well as Wally would like or he's freelancing a bit too much? Or maybe the line isn't pass-protecting as well as I thought? I don't know. I do know that our guys are getting open more often than not. On almost every damn play, there's somebody wide freaking open. I've never seen anything like it. Watching the All-22, I find myself constantly saying, "Throw it to [insert receiver's name here]!" I'm going out on a limb and saying the inside pressure is causing a problem. THT should be better from the pocket. We know he's more than capable. FAX THE SOMEWHAT CONFOUNDED |

In their video/pod cast thing, they said (if I remember correctly), it's defined as unscripted, tight window, key situational, etc.
Stuff like that. (Honestly, I can't remember all the criteria they mentioned ... but it's those things and more stuff.) FAX THE LOW ON MEMORY FUEL |

Hopefully, teams will ditch the "Blitz Mahomes and he will not beat you" narrative that didn't work and start rushing 3 to keep him in the pocket-lol |

Here's a thought thing ...
At Tech, he really had to run for his life most of the time. I'm guessing his line was of lower caliber compared to the competition they faced. Point being, he got used to going off-script, running like hell, and looking downfield for the big throw. Obviously, he's comfortable doing that sort of thing after having so much practice. I, for one, would like to see him develop more "controlled" work in the pocket ... shifting away from pressure instead of completely bailing ... that sort of thing (see Tom Brady). It makes the o-line's job much easier if they know where he is. Plus, he would be taking full advantage of Wally's fabulously well-designed routes and the timing thereof.

Denver came as close as anybody has with a pretty sophisticated (and very well designed) faux, overloaded blitz package. It worked for 2 quarters ... so good job on them. I think the best thing they can do is let him get into the redzone. Then defenses can use the EZ backline as a defender, the longball disappears, and they can rush 3 and fill the backend with fast dudes. If I'm a DC, I try to limit him to 3 points and call it a win.

So I told the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX to keep an eye on that phenomenon and, low and behold, by the closing minutes of the 3rd Q, she mentioned how slow the NE DBs looked compared to our guys. Therefore, I hereby declare it is definitely a factor. The donk DBs and LBs talked about it, the JAG players talked about it, as well. Funny how the nogs don't seem to acknowledge it. Anyway, there's no doubt in my mind that we're wearing down defenses in the 2nd half and most of that is simply trying to cover our guys for 4 to 7 seconds on so many plays downfield, across the field, and back again. That's a long time to read and react. Then you have to catch your breath and do it all over again. Play after play. I'm confident that Wally understands this and is using it as a tactical advantage.

Living in Colorado, my Chiefs tie would usually get me pity, if anyone noticed it at all.
For the last month, I’ve gotten dirtier looks from my co-workers than the last three years combined. #feelsgoodman |

![]() I think the inside the pocket stats are also slightly skewed by the fact we have motored down the offense the second half of a few games. We were running the ball and went to high percentage short passes to kill the clock. Plus if Mahomes hits a few of those near misses the first half verse the Pats (while in the pocket) those number jump significantly. |
