Chiefs Patrick Mahomes isn't "broken" you ****ing dorks - Page 26

"broken" "abomination" "Rick Ankiel"

These are all words that people used to describe Patrick ****ing Mahomes tonight. I mean, are you listening to yourselves? Rick ****ING Ankiel?????

Look, I'm not going to pretend like he's been himself all year. He's not seeing the field as well as usual, he's struggling to trust his OL and occasionally scrambling out of clean pockets, he's missing some throws, some of those turnovers have actually been his fault and not just the receivers being unable to hold onto the ****in ball.

But all the wannabe psychologists and family therapists on this site are driving me up a ****ing wall. You don't know what the **** is going on in his head and you don't know what affect his family life has on his play.

What you DO know, based on a 3 season sample size, is that he's the greatest QB through ~50 games in NFL history. You know that he's won multiple comeback playoff games, two AFC titles, and a Super Bowl. You even know (or at least you ****ing should, unless you've been too busy moaning to actually read anything), that by most metrics he's actually been pretty good overall this season. His "turnover worthy" plays are actually DOWN from past years. He's #4 in the league in touchdowns. His TD% is identical to last season and higher that 2019. Before Tennessee, which is easily the biggest outlier of his career including the other "bad" games this season, he was leading one of the most efficient offenses of all time in terms of points per drive — yes, better than 2018. I know it doesn't feel that way because so many guys on this team (including, yes, Patrick himself on a few occasions) can't hold onto the ****ing ball. But that's the ****ing truth.

If he were moping during press conferences or lashing out on social media, I might give a little bit more credence to the narrative that he's moments away from a nervous breakdown. Not very much, but a little bit. But he's not. He's being honest (almost to a fault) about his role in the team's struggles and projecting confidence that he can turn it around. What more can he possibly do to convince some of you losers to hold onto a bit of that confidence yourselves? Does he need to go back in time and miraculously heal Schwartz and Fisher and win that Super Bowl? Should he just commit seppuku at midfield? What do you want??

Patrick Mahomes is not broken. He's slumping. Every QB slumps occasionally. Not every QB calls having the 4th best QBR (64.1) and 6th best EPA (46.3, just above the dreaded Aaron Rodgers) a ****ing slump. Personally, even after 8 underwhelming-to-miserable games and a 4-4 record, I'm gonna give the kid a little more leeway before calling for him to be committed to the god damn psych ward. I think he's earned at least that much.

Yeah, seems like we've seen it forced at times, like the scripted plays to start the NYG game... then other times it disappears. There have also been times when the outlets are there, but Mahomes is set on going downfield.

Looks like they've found a far better mix tonight and that Mahomes is seeing the entire field.

It can if the qb feels pressured to play hero ball instead of taking what he's given.

And then make mistakes which further rattles your confidence.

This season probably goes a very different direction if not for all the careless fumbles in the beginning of the season.

I think the board will sleep well tonight.

Pretty good slump-buster game. Hopefully he can keep gaining confidence.

Can Mahomes get back in the MVP discussion after tonight?

I don't give a flying ****shit about that stupid award, and I don't think Mahomes does, either.

I'm fairly certain confidence has never been a problem.

The clowns trashing Mahomes the past few weeks will hopefully keep their mouths shut for a while after this one.

Ah, the defense has only allowed 33 points over the last two games. So not buying the whole "It can if the qb feels pressured to play hero ball instead of taking what he's given," bit. And he still made some mistakes tonight. And btw, the throw to Williams was not a smart throw. And there was someone on the opposite numbers that was wide open and had a legit shot at scoring as well.

But Pat looked 100% better than he has all season, mostly because he took what the defense was giving him.

And let's not forget that Andy called a pretty good game as well. Amazing how good Andy's offense looks if you just stick the ball where the defense ain't.

Well he did what everybody was suggesting he do. Hell until the last couple drives I'm shocked you weren't throwing up all over yourself at all the short completions and the Alex Smith type drives.

Amazing what can happen when he has some time to throw and his receivers actually get open and don’t turn passes into drops and interceptions.

Mahomes settled in and the struggles are starting to payoff. Line was better and he was patient. Now do it again!
