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!

If the player with the least amount of picks was the MVP then Alex Smith should have won about ten of them.

And you want to get some interceptions out of the way in the regular season, if you throw to few of them then they will all come in the postseason, seen it too many times.

designed interceptions

Interceptions happen when you throw it around like he does, but he's throwing too many IMO>

Definitely too many and not "good" INTs lately either

I mean sure. But this doesn't apply here. Jalen pushed the ball down the field plenty. He has a higher intended air yards/per attempt than Mahomes.

Receivers play a part in that and some luck .

Joe Cool esque

Heck of a job here by Mahomes on this conversion to Smith-Schuster. They are showing six. They drop two and bring the six off the left side. Mahomes good movement in the pocket and a heck of a throw to Juju. #JacobsEyeInTheSky #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/UBciJ0dFkj

Bro...

Crucial third down conversion here from Mahomes to Valdes-Scantling. Mahomes drops back a couple extra steps and scrambles out to his right to buy time for MVS’s double move with the head fake. Just like to see him slide and stay in bounds. #JacobsEyeInTheSky #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/t85xVE7EM6

He'll need to be a lot sharper in the Playoffs.

He will. He got careless against the lowly Broncos and threw three INTs. That’s just over 25% of his yearly total.

[Hammock Parties]

the whole team lacked focus for a good stretch there

it's not surprising, and you absolutely can't have the same level of focus week in and week out in the NFL

they will be sharp as a tack for the stretch run

To be fair, "lowly" applies more to the Denver offense. The Broncos defense is very good, Top 4 in the league. But Mahomes will need to be more careful with the ball, no matter who he's playing in January.

I'll say it - I care if Mahomes wins MVP. I wish I didn't but I do.

I love the dude and he's the best I've ever seen. I hope he gets all the glory he deserves. I weirdly, stupidly feel a sense of pride and validation in my fanhood the better that he does.

It will be the ultimate prize to hold over all the stupidheads in Buffalo and Cincy if Mahomes gets MVP#2 and SBMVP#2, and all the talkshows will be forced to change their tune.

Touch this, bitch. How do you like our ****ing dynasty?

KC also moved the ball at will against that vaunted defense. They put up 20 with relative ease and it could have been worse had the refs been consistent on what is and is not DPI.
