The play calling was putrid the second half. If EB was calling all the plays- he should be fired.

Sounds like the coaching staff is broken and not Mahomes.

We may never know exactly what happened. I'm wondering who the offensive lineman was who "is usually quiet but spoke at halftime". The first one who came to mind was Thuney but that's a total guess.

Marty with the Hard Facts, Clay mouth sealed it and leaked.

(Not calling you out specifically - many have said similar things...)

Don't you all realize that this is literally why "fake news" is such a problem these days? This article is 40% rumor and hearsay, 50% complete conjecture, and MAYBE 10% fact. Yet everyone looks at it and rather than saying, "Oh, it's a bunch of random shit being thrown at a wall, maybe I should just ignore it," everyone is just like "Well, yeah, it's PROBABLY bullshit. But what if it's not...?"

If you whine about "the media" and how you "can't trust anything," it's your own goddamn fault. If you can't even look at a clearly shitty "article" and dismiss it, what hope do you have of actually evaluating the accuracy of real reporting.

It's depressing. The world is full of idiots who believe anything they read on the internet.

Had to be Thuney or Brown. They're the only ones who would carry the gravitas.

Also, I am NOT a basement dwelling no-name pundit.

I'm writing this from my home office! Thhhhhhpth!!!!

I can neither confirm or deny that. You'll have to get three collaborating witnesses

100%

There's no way to discredit this, so idiots take that as it's real.

Someone just told me I should be fired for this

The best lies have truths woven into the fabric.

Additional issues to what I already posted,

After all that it throws out the possibility of EB returning at the end which would be a patent absurdity if you take the rest at face value.

This story would have leaked long before now.

If Clay and Marty had any of the good sense that God gave them, they’d delete this article and heed these words:

”It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.”

Also, be wary of stories that confirm your priors.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen an article cited as if it were fact only to find out it's a basement-dwelling no-name hiding behind the "credibility" of that site.

It reminds me of the fan articles published on SI now. Because it is on the SI website people think it is more legit instead of fan speculation and opinion that it is.
