They are asking Mahomes to adapt his playing style to fit our OT's, instead of having our tackles play the style of our QB. That's why Patrick has looked so disjointed.
A big risk, hope it works. |

Mahomes has know footwork and pocket presence are his weaknesses since essentially when he entered the league. If it was an easy fix it would've been corrected a long time ago. Not saying he can't or won't do it but these issues are deeply ingrained in his play style and isn't just something he'll dramatically improve on in a week. IMO he just needs to have a couple good games to get his confidence back up and he'll be just fine. He seems a little gun shy and unsure of himself at the moment. |

Watch the video. Simms explains how Mahomes drop back means that DE's don't even have to bend around the corner. We all know how important "bend" is to a DE as we've seen masters such as Thomas and Hali do it for years. Mahomes isn't even making the DE's bend. Again, watch the video. All he has to do is step up and Brown washes that dude out of the play. |

I think what happens is that he knows the defense is bad, he then feels the pressure to score, goes all superman mode and abandons the basics and offensive structure trying to force big plays. That's my theory at least. |

Let's not pretend we just haven't put money on defense. We are paying out the ass and getting zero return. |

NFL coaches are so good at exploiting the tiniest weaknesses. Coaches have schemed their edge rushers to essentially take away the deep drop. That's been really effective so far. It's up to Reid and Mahomes to make them pay for that. There are plenty of ways to do that through play calls, but Mahomes needs to prove he's comfortable stepping up in the pocket as well.
I'm not too worried that they'll figure it out, but this is a new feeling in the Mahomes era. It was never a question before that Mahomes would keep us in pretty much any game against any opponent, no matter how garbage our defense was playing. This year is different. |

Simms breaks down Mahomes' bad play
That first 2nd and 9 play is brutal. He’s not dumb. If that happens again he will make that work.
With the combination of his play improving and reducing turnovers we can win any game we play with just a marginally better defense. |

Wow, some of you wear rose-colored glasses.
"We're about to go on a tear" "We're going on a winning streak." "Watch us string together a bunch of W's." "Superbowl here we come." Knowing a problem and fixing a problem are two different things. The defense sucks and Patrick can't fix that. There is a very good chance we could lose to the Giants. A very good one. Where's the desire, discipline, and competitiveness? I haven't seen it all season, except in brief flashes. |
