Depends on how the OLine is handling the 3 rushers. If they are getting home then McKinnon needs to get lion share of snaps for his blocking abilities. [Reply]

When the Bengals drop 8 and kept a spy, it has completely negated Mahomes' roll out game. It's been three games and Mahomes got better this year with it, but he still struggled to adjust. Last year he was completely flabbergasted.
Now that Mahomes won't be rolling out as much, and isn't as much of a scramble threat, it's possible the Bengals play a more conventional style.
I wish this narrative would die in an AIDS TREE fire.
Its nonsense, Mahomes is the MVP this season because he can do all that he does, he isn't miraculously going to become an "even better" QB because he has limited mobility. His ability to ad lib and do amazing shit when there isn't another play is what makes him the badass he is.

Its just fantasy land nonsense.
I agree with you, but I do think an alternate gameplan which gets the ball out faster has potential. Not a guarantee, but if we have to accept that Mahomes cannot be Superman out of the pocket this Sunday, then the good thing is he has many other strengths that we can form an alternative gameplan around.

I’ve always felt that walking on a sprain or just slowly moving my ankle sometimes hurt worse than actually playing a sport.
Is there anything to that? Or just me?
Definitely not an expert on the subject.
I definitely find that slow deliberate move when I am sore anywhere are a little more painful. Like I could struggle to stand up from a sit when my legs and glutes are sore, but then when I go out for a run I don't notice it as much. [Reply]

Someone hasn't watched the 3 games againat the Bengals [Reply]
God probably saw his inbox getting clogged with requests, so he moved around his to-do list to heal Mahomes and let the giant mudslide engulf the village in Cameroon. [Reply]
