Mahomes wants 20-0
http://https://www.google.com/amp/s/...fect-20-0/amp/
"The only record I have my eyes set on breaking, which would be new this year, would be going 20-0," Mahomes said. "It's not really a record to be broken I guess you would say—19-0 is the record right now—so being able to go 20-0 and being the first one to do that, that would be awesome." |

That would be really cool, but I think the pressure would mount as the season went on.
At the end of the day, going 1-0 in the Super Bowl is all that counts. |

Cool, except the record right now is either 17-0 or 18-1.

We already have a bullseye on our team. Every week we get every teams best shot. I dont think this comment revs their passion up to beat us, they are already there.
From a practical point, say you get to 15-0/16-0, you have HFA sewn up. Do you play Mahomes, Kelce and Hill in a meaningless game just to pursue some mythical season? No QB had ever got injured on a QB sneak. Shit happens. Every single play there could be an injury. Why risk it? Isn't the goal to win the SB? Keep your eyes on the prize. |

I'm good with the goal, for sure.
Whatever the team needs to stay focused and sharp this year, works for me. I think we will see the improved OL play and improved OL depth really pay off for KC in terms of handling lesser opponents. Easier to jump out to a lead, easier to kill the clock once it has occurred. Late-season schedule is peachy, too. They'd have the ability to run up some big leads and rest the stars, potentially. |

I ****ing love Mahomes. I hate when people shy away from stuff like that. Going even 17-0 is harder to do than even winning the Super Bowl. The goal of sports are to do legendary bad ass achievements.
Everyone remembers Bulls 72-10, Warriors 73-9, Dolphins undefeated season, even that New England team that went undefeated and ran into the Giants. Nobody is going to remember the Toronto Raptors won the NBA Finals years from now. Do great things that nobody else has done. |

Too much pressure.
Would rather go 9-7 and win the super bowl rather than Pull a New England 18-1 |

Win another Super Bowl. The record doesn't matter.

Nobody ****ing cares about regular season records but people like you.
If they can do both, fine but focus on winning the super bowl. Regular season records mean nothing. And as far as the Bulls and Warriors people remember the rings, not the wins. People remember the 18-1 Patriots for losing in the Super Bowl. Championships are the only thing that matters. |

What Mahomes isn't considering is that Reid probably wouldn't even allow it to happen. I'd be pretty surprised if he didn't rest starters if they had HFA locked up, regardless of record.
Would be hilarious if they rested key players in the final week and still beat Denver. I think they're trying to toe the line publicly, but it's pretty clear that Mahomes, Kelce and company are fired up to kick some ass this year. I'd love to see them just steamroll teams this year. |
