Just grasping at straws here to find any small positive from Mahomes' time off.
Any pressure that was on Mahomes to repeat as MVP and back up his stats from last year has been removed now. I honestly doubt that he was worried about it anyway, but now he can just go out and play loose and win games. The only stats to worry about now are the wins and losses. Again, I don't think Mahomes was concerned about it anyway but it would only be natural to want to validate last years performance. [Reply]
Yeah I think there's something to be said for rediscovering the short passing game that teams are basically giving us with Mahomes but Reid refuses to take for some reason.
Also the defense knows they now have to be part of the win and not just not screw up too badly. Let's see if they play as inspired vs. non-Flacco. [Reply]

Andy's passing attack is like crack to him. I can see the mindset turn the moment 15 steps on that field.
"Patrick's back now, glad this 50/50 run pass bullshit can **** right off now, and I can get back to 80% passes."
Bieniemy needs to be in his ear constantly, trying to keep Andy in check on the balance, otherwise we just go back to square one, "Put it all on 15 and we're good". Hey O line, we arent even gonna try to make em think about the run. They're pinning their ears back and rushing with abandon every down.
Dont get him killed. Good luck.
Andy Reid is arguably the most double edged sword in coaching history.
Surely you jest. I'm told that Andy Reid is the greatest animate object to ever put a whistle around its neck. [Reply]

What are you even watching?
Mahomes was Captain Checkdown the last two weeks. [Reply]

Reid has his foibles, but he is the perfect Yoda for Patrick Skywalker... we’re not even halfway through this thing
Take a deep breath and relax, he’s our best guy since Stram
He's accomplished everything except the most important thing, and he has the best tool he will EVER have to get that job done with.
But, the clock is ticking and if he can't get it done with Mahomes in the next two or three seasons, then it's time to put the 'Help Wanted' sign up at One Arrowhead Drive. [Reply]

That’s exactly why I’m not veering off course, it’s not if but when with this pair [Reply]

As I said, "when" has an expiration date because I'll be damned if I'm giving Andy Reid the Carl Petersen employment program and free reign to waste the career of the greatest young QB in the league. [Reply]

10/11 for 76 yards or something...
The opening of the Denver game is the first time I thought they were actually trying to focus on the short game.
I didn't see it very much in the Colts or Texans games when it seemed like we should have been doing it because a) Mahomes had no time and b) they were covering the deep stuff.
It was frustrating watching the Colts and Texans complete slant after slant and we didn't even seem to have it in our playbook. [Reply]
