Here's the thing: Mecole was doubled. There's no good reason to throw that ball at that time to that receiver. it was basically a Hail Mary. He should've taken the first down and looked for another deep shot on the next passing play. Simple. |

The difference between Mahomes and Smith is teams played up short against Smith because that's all he could do. Mahomes will smoke you if you leave guys open deep. That's the difference. The problem is he isn't setting up the defense. He is trying to force things. |

Mahomes needs to relax and play better- no doubt, no one is arguing that- but the criticism is getting to ridiculous levels. |

If you've got an outlet receiver in the flat with nobody within 20 yards of him, you don't throw into double coverage 40 yards downfield. That's not smart. Not when you're struggling to find some efficiency in your sputtering offense. You hit your outlet guy, take the 15-20 yards, and line up again. We're not talking about throwing short of the sticks, we're not talking about playing scared. We're talking about taking the high percentage play, getting the first down. Be efficient. Since when is Kelce open 20 yards down the field and suddenly that's not good enough? What? Throw it to your All-Pro TE, get the first, and line 'er up again. He's leaving a lot of first downs on the field right now, and arguing against that is just madness. It's madness. |

I don't know how anyone who claims to understand football can actually argue against taking the first down rather than throwing into double coverage 40 yards downfield.
I mean I really don't. Mahomes is a generational talent, but it's not like he completely changed the rules of the game. Still need 10 yards for a first down. Still have 4 downs to get it. |

Mahomes also had Hill for a kill shot earlier in the game, but shorted it and failed to connect. Either one of those plays connect- Packers chance of winner goes to single digits. |

This is ****ing football both teams are paid to win and they aren't playing Madden football every week. I'd rather win 13 to 10 than lose 44 to 45. |

Great- you sound so smart with hindsight and endless replays on your side. I explained what I saw- in person at the game- and why I think Mahomes bite on it. But I suppose Mahomes and I are both idiots because the play failed. Mahomes did hit Kelce wide open- twice yesterday and he dropped them. But Mecole dropped 3- so it doesnt seem to matter what he does. |
