I have a friend who is a die hard Giants fan...and his son...is a Patrick Mahomes fan. So much so he is making his dad take him to the Chiefs vs Vikings game lol.

My boss shared a family photo at a meeting. They're from the Minneapolis area, so he and his wife are big Vikings fans. The photo was the entire family at the huge comeback win against Indy last year. All of them in Vikings jerseys, except his youngest son. Who has a Mahomes jersey. Chiefs weren't even playing and the kid was like, "I'm not putting on any loser jersey!"

I might get things thrown at me but running the ball was a huge reason why we won Super Bowls 4, 54 and 57.

I knew Mahomes was gonna be a Hall of Famer when soon after he was drafted, someone asked what his favorite type of throw is and he said "touchdown throws".

Was hoping someone was gonna say this. This board complained multiple times that our offense was too 1-note and Defenses knew they didn't have to respect the run game.

The moment Pacheco stepped into the starting role, our offense improved.

It's still football. Go back and watch the Super Bowl. You need to be able to threaten every blade of grass, pass AND run.

That’s just BWillie. He’s long beat the drum that pass plays net you higher EPA/play than run plays; therefore, you should never choose to run the ball.

It’s such a ridiculously oversimplified, uninformed take. There’s not really much point in even engaging him on it.

Andy Reid, offensive guru and notorious lover-of-the-forward-pass, still calls run plays at about a 40% clip. That’s all you need to know.

Yes, but if we only threw the ball, we would've also won Super Bowls 1, 2, 3, 5-53, 55, and 56 /BWillie

Go back and watch the playoff game against JAX, we don't win that game without PAC going off the drive after Mahomes injury.

I think the idea of 'establishing the run' is outdated and ridiculous.

But I think having it in your toolbox for situational football is a good thing. Maybe that's an injury to your QB or WRs. Maybe it's a late-game bleed the clock situation. Or it's defense specific where they're pulling their safeties back, sticking in Nickel and daring you to run it at them.

But it's so secondary to the passing game that I can't bring myself to give a shit about it. If anything we do to help the running game detracts from our ability to pass the football - don't do that thing.
