Yeah sure.
I don't even think it's worth debating you over Mahomes. If you can't even admit that he had a bad game and that 20 interceptions would be terrible, then I don't know what the point in going back and forth with you would be. [Reply]

It's not like he's throwing them recklessly into triple coverage.
Yep and a couple other interceptions were 3rd and long plays that basically ended up as short punts. Yeah, you don't want them to occur, but you can live with them. The fumbles have been the big issue. We're sitting pretty at 4-1 right now if our guys could hold on to the football. And that is even with our trash defense and brutal schedule. Mahomes has been amazing this year. [Reply]

That's kind of the beauty of playing that safe Cover 2 though. Dungy and Lovie Smith made a living at that. Play the Cover 2 all day and keep everything in front of you. Every time a ball goes through the hands of a WR, and it will happen, it's a potential INT. [Reply]

2 of his 6 interceptions are a direct result of him making a mistake. Three of them went through his receiver’s hands and one was a fluke/phenomenal play by a defensive end. Mahomes is not part of the problem.
The offense has moved the ball pretty much at will against every team they’ve played. It hasn’t been as flashy as in years past because of the deep cover 2 teams are playing, but they have been patient and methodical on offense. Turnovers is what has stymied the offense. I expect that to even out over the season.
I did like what I saw from the defense in the second half of this game. More aggressive, bringing pressure from different levels, and they played their younger, faster players. I believe the defense only gave up 7 points in the second half. [Reply]

Two of them are on him. The rest are dropped passes that ricocheted into the defender's hands, fluked tip ball at the line of scrimmage, and a stopped route. [Reply]
This team reminds me of the beginning of Rocky 3. Champ, smooth sailing, feels unbeatable, gets soft, doesnt train right, believes his own hype, gets absolutely destroyed by Clubber Lang.
This assbeating from Buffalo to fall to 2-3 is basically that 2nd round vicious KO.
Will they find it in themselves to get the eye of tiger?

The guy led the league in QBR by a wide margin entering this game but ok lol [Reply]

He had five touchdowns last week lol
He was bad tonight, but he's the least of our concerns. Great quarterbacks get out of slumps (again, we're talking about someone who throws 5 touchdowns during a "slump") and Patrick Mahomes is a great quarterback. [Reply]

All the focus in the world from Mahomes ain't gonna fix a play like that Pick 6 tonight. The ball was on the money and your best receiver bobbled it to the other team for 7 points. The team is a mess in general. [Reply]
