Willie just posted this one on his story

I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Didn't some Bengals fan guarantee us that Burrow would win more SB rings than Mahomes? Was that you rfaulk?

Without the penalty, Rice catches the ball.

The problem was that your underneath DB gave the rookie no choice but to play through the receiver. It wasn't a stupid penalty on the rookies part; he did everything he could do there to try to salvage an impossible situation.

It was an execution error that cost you the game. Same thing that usually costs teams the game when you're nursing a 1-score lead into the waning minutes against a superior QB.

You don't throw a pick in opponent's territory with 5 mins left, then go 3 and out with 1:30 and 3 timeouts and even try to be called clutch.

He's getting early Aaron Rodgers level of failures at the end of games.

If he follows that path at least you can look forward to one SB and four league MVPs.

You can look at 1-4 and say suuuuuuuuuuucks but a 4th and 16 penalty by a stupid rookie and a dropped snap by a rookie holder is the difference between that and 3-2. Two plays have made that much difference.

We get it. KC was an offsides away from denying Brady his sixth ring.

Mahomes is so far ahead of anyone playing QB right now as the "greatest" it's not even funny, or a race at this point. No one is close.

Don't tell Baltimore and Buffalo fans that.

Technically, the Patriots could probably say the same thing.

Definitely a very thin margin between success and failure in the NFL.

You make a couple of unstated assumptions here. First, you assume that if the "stupid rookie" hadn't committed DPI, the receiver would not have caught the ball for a first down.

Second, you assume that if the rookie holder had not fumbled the snap, that the kicker would have made the field goal.

These are some pretty big assumptions. You conclude by saying two plays made the difference, but with those assumptions in place, there is much more than two plays that are the difference.
