Mahomes + Dome
 

So the last time Mahomes played a regular or post-season game in a dome was vs. Bayler. He scored 6 touchdowns and threw for almost 600 yds. Will be interesting to see if there's a marked jump in his stats this Sunday in Motor City. If so, how fast can the Hunts get a dome built? :hmmm: But seriously, if ever an offense was built for a dome, this would seem to be it. Would the Rams have been as good in their best years in St. Louis w/o a dome?

Can't wait until Sunday...

Bayler? I hardly even know her.

And yet, she still speaks highly of you. :thumb:

I wish they'd put the rolling roof on the ballot again. I bet it would easily pass.

Grate post!

Madomes?

I don't care so much about the dome as I do that fast track turf.

If Hill was healthy with Hardman...damn we'd be legit fast.

No thanks. We’re already fast enough. Player health matters more.

Butker should be able to kick a few 60+ yarders.

I don't think the Lions will be able to handle our speed at any position.

The Lions are built as a big and physical defense, they can't run with the Chiefs but they'll likely try to bully them because it's really all they can do.

I agree. Thank you. You seem nice.

Lose I big game in the playoffs due to weather conditions that effectively took out Mahomes and you can bet your ass the talk would get fired back up.

Yeah we're not legit fast right now...

Thats Bailer. An AG school from Iowa

Death by screen!

Baeluhr

Weather can't hurt Mahomes more than it can the opposing QB. His mother was a mudder. His father was a mudder. He loves the slop.

Football is better outside in my opinion.

Did you even watch the Colts playoff game? The weather effectively took Luck out of the game. Mahomes was slinging it. We have a dome, that game is most likely a lot closer.

Isn’t it Bahlore? The history of sheep?

Just curious, is there any history of how away teams do in domes? They're obviously faster and better on offense. But I wonder if some of the timing with receivers is a little different.

The new turf is supposed to be exponentially safer, right? Are more injuries reported by the Cowboys, Pats, Seahawks, Colts, Falcons & Ravens? Are the players on those teams complaining about getting injuries from the turf? I've not heard about any complaints from the players' union. Usually they're pretty vocal about that kind of stuff. Kind of like the cancelled game in Mexico last year.

Bullshit. That wasn't bad weather. Nothing close to what some playoff games look like. This team is not a run team. (And the weather damn sure didn't slow Luck down.) Watch the video below.

Not sure why people think their defense is so powerful. Statistically, they're about identical to ours in terms of yards. And Baltimore is better than any offense they've faced.

If they're as slow as everyone says, I think our offense will have its way. Probably a similar plan as in Oakland (abandon the run almost completely). I do think their offense will move the ball somewhat. I'm guessing a 45-27 type of game.

He also played a preseason game in a dome and did this:

I generally agree. It just seems like this team, more than any other, is built for turf. Guess we'll have a small sample size after Sunday's game.

Good ! He is my kicker on my fantasy team :D

Laces OUT!

Mahomes doesn't give a **** what the weather is. Look at last week. It rained it's ass off and didn't even make him flinch.

Mahomes hasn't played a game in a dome? Wow. That seems strange in these days.

Over/Under for game currently sits at 53.5.

Chiefs 53, Lions .5 (sympathy points) ROFL

Does this thread suggest Mahomes performs better when receiving dome before a game? Billay, CP needs you.

Going to guess there's no shortage of offers. ;)

If we have a dome, our team can only get better and fans would be more into the game and louder ****ing up the other team. Even though fans are loud, it's still miserable being out there in the KC winter.

**** all this dome talk. Thankfully it'll never actually happen.

God wants to watch.

God and every NFL fan. Had a conference call with some folks in Los Angeles this morning. All anyone wanted to talk about was Patrick Mahomes. I was astonished at the level of interest. I've been dealing with these folks for quite a few years. Prior to Mahomes, none of them had ever expressed an interest in the Chiefs.

Stop making me horny.

I actually think the next stadium will be a dome or retractable roof. Economic forces will likely push it that way. If the Chiefs come begging for taxpayer assistance to build, government will likely be asking for a facility that could bring other future economic benefits to the area (Super Bowl, Final Four, etc.). On the other hand, if Clark tries to build a privately funded stadium, pressures will exist to maximize revenues to fund the building when Chiefs are not playing. Both scenarios point to a climate controlled facility IMO. Another factor that will ultimately come into play as well is eliminating as many reasons why fans would choose to stay home as opposed to watching the game at home. Bad weather would be another "excuse" the team could eliminate by a climate controlled stadium.

Agreed. Just make rollable roof. Dont even need a full dome.

Pat Mahomes may actually blow up a dome

go watch the Texas Tech vs LSU bowl game that was held at Reliant Stadium(dome) in Houston. You see a lot of the things he's doing with the Chiefs these days.

Historically, dome teams aren't very successful at winning championships in the NFL.

Plus, Arrowhead would just look weird as a dome.

Are people really whining about a dome again?

I don't know if it's because of the profusion of domes with artificial turf in the recent past but I've always associated indoor stadiums with injuries. I hate them.

Fan enthusiasm high for the Chiefs; new ownership of the Royals might re-energize some fans there as well.

Probably a pretty good idea but my recollection is that some later analysis was that the 'cover both stadiums' roof idea was kinda doomed to failure. And didn't the Chiefs just get about $100 million for renovations about 7-8 years ago? May not be able to go back to the well so soon.

But you're right - it might be a good time to ask.

More so. Lamenting & gnashing of teeth. Counseling has been made available. :(

Magic 8 ball says "Most definitely." :)

I'm horney to watch the Game!

According to my calculations, Mahomes is going to kick some ass.

If we build a team for a dome the team can only get better - until they have to travel to New England or Buffalo late in the season.

If we build a team for our side they can be great on any field.

Just say no to domes.

Can't fathom how someone could have had Trubisky higher on their draft board.

Was he a lot faster back then, or is it the turf?

AFC Domes: Houston, Indianapolis

NFC Domes: Atlanta, Arizona, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, New Orleans

Glad it wasn't the Chiefs. :clap:

Mahomes+Dome=Blowout

Class dismissed.

probably a bit of both. You can tell Mahomes still wasn't running very smoothly. He had injured his knee earlier in the season and was wearing a brace. Amazing how well he moved, given the circumstances.

Is his weight much different than at that point? Why would he be much slower a few years later?

Mahomes is definitely bulkier than when he was back then, so probably heavier now. That is pure speculation on my part

I don't really think he is. I think everyone chasing him is just much faster.

True. Hadn't thought about that. Kyler Murray probably knows all about that though

I don't want a dome on arrowhead- ever. It is a perfect stadium just how it is.

True story. Another aspect is that Mahomes and the Chiefs are receiving a lot of positive interest these days. Throw in a new stadium and KC would be a lock for a Super Bowl. That's assuming that they have, or will have, enough hotel rooms.

Completely agree. Part of the character of Arrowhead is that it's an outdoor venue. The weather in December/January is part of the homefield advantage. It's why no one wants to go to Green Bay or Chicago for the playoffs. It's why outdoor teams generally have an advantage over dome teams late in the year.

This

Oh no, neither do I. Was referring to this weekend mostly.

Domes build pussies who can't play good football in January. Some guy on Reddit statistically analyzed this and proved it with over thousands of data sets.

Keep it the way it is. We have the advantage.

Yeah, it's a serious risk. I'd never want to see a dome in Foxboro, and don't understand why any non-dome team now would want a dome. Peyton Dome-Boy Manning and the rest of the Colts got rocked every January in New England in part because, OMG, wind! Cold!

It wouldn't be a dome. It would be a retractable roof. Able to come on and off as we please.

And traveling to new England is a short term problem. Tom Brady is retiring sooner rather than later relative to Mahomes career. I'm not worried about going there.

Peyton Manning didn't get wrecked by cold. He was just shitty in the post season period. He had Superbowls in domes and in Miami and was shitty in those games too. So yeah, the fact that it's cold in new England had nothing to do with him not being good.

Mahomes numbers inside are off the charts.....

His record on the other hand is 1-3

His college record hasn't exactly been relevant. Having the worst defense in the nation is a bit to overcome.

Just stating the numbers as an FYI.

More like Patrick Mahomes do me

I never want to see the name Arrowhead dropped, but if you put a lid on the house, I would be all in favor of renaming it The Mahomes Dome

Bump.

Well that didn't go as we expected.

I'm wondering if he turf threw Pat off. He was clearly off. Think he couldn't plant his feet properly or the speed of the turf or just the feel of it threw him off? I know, I know, impossible to believe, but has there been any talk of this?

Who knows. I think we can go ahead and kill the idea of installing a roof at Arrowhead. :shake:

No, it was just pressure.

He was literally a hair off on a few throws.

He's mortal and a "bad day" turns out to be 315 yards instead of 400.
