But yeah, they're all pressing, and making stupid mistakes as a result. But we can't play Chiefs football when defenses are just spotting you everything BUT the deep pass. You have to take what's there, execute, and make them pay for that. Until Patrick and the boys do that, we're not going to see sustained success again. |

About the best and simplest way I can put this is like so:
Patrick needs to be a little less Favre and a little more Brady right now. It's that simple. |

You keep trying to throw deep balls into defenses that have changed to take away those deep balls and nothing good is going to come of it. And to keep doing it over and over pretending something different is going to happen is not a productive strategy. |

The picks got in his head a little and he’s thinking too much now
He’s been amazing and he’s too smart to not figure it out. It’ll be fine |

We forced the defenses into this scheme by making people look foolish for three years.
Now they're going to stay there until we adjust. We haven't adjusted yet. The way to beat that style of defense is to run the ball against the light box, and hit short and intermediate passes, getting the ball out fast to mitigate the pass rush and take advantage of the wide open flats with your backs, slot receivers, and your TE over the middle. Brady won most of his rings doing this. Multiple times last game, Mahomes had Kelce 10 yards plus in the middle, but instead chucked it deep into double coverage. He had backs in the flat with 20 yards of green in front of them. That's just not smart. He'll come around, but right now, he's making bad choices. All of this commentary is about MAHOMES, and if you want to talk about dropped and tipped passes and lax ball security with backs and receivers, that's an adjacent but still different issue. |

There was no need for all of the deep balls against the Pack. But you have many others saying stuff like "stick to what you do best and it will work itself out." I don't really believe that... we will see eventually who is right. |

I can't think of any situation in any game where you justify throwing a deep ball into double coverage instead of taking a wide open 15 yards unless you are just down and desperate. We were neither. Mahomes needs to figure out it's okay to play ball control. No one will think lesser of him because he threw higher percentage passes that extended drives and resulted in scores. |

I am talking about trying to make Mahomes a dump off king like we did last week. Everyone is bitching that he still looks for the kill shot- well- that is who he is. If Mecole does not quit on that route- nobody would be bitching about Kelce being open. Guys were open short on Wasp too. Why can't there be some balance? Some of the shit I have been hearing and reading is ridiculous, Mahomes sucks, can't read defenses, the footwork stuff again- and fans were hollering in the stands to pull him from the game. ![]() |

people need to quit equating Alex Smith with this approach and think of Tom Brady winning pretty much all of his rings throwing to backs, and TE's, and slot receivers over the middle. If we start whooping people doing that, then those deep shots will open up again. |

If our defense doesn't hold the Packers to 7 points, even more people are bitching about not hitting Kelce. It was a stupid decision, PERIOD. |

You are probably also mad he did not dump off when the game was on the line and take a nice safe PUNT. Mahomes played his PRIDEFUL football- and went for the kill shot. He is an assassin- not a soccer mom. |
