Mahomes went through a slump last year too

[Einstein]

Before becoming Mahomes again and leading his team to the AFC Championship game.

 

Mahomes had a 5 game stretch in the middle of the season where these were his performances:

0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble
0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble
1 TD, 1 INT
1 TD, 0 INT
0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble

 

The point? Even the great ones can slump. Play poorly. Lose their mojo. Forget how to read the field.

 

I am far more concerned about the coaching, as some of these coaching mistakes have been happening since day 1 of McDermott’s tenure.

 

But Josh will get better. He will overcome. He will become great again. Mahomes slumped and he came back. So will Allen.

 

Go Bills.

I hope it's that simple I really do

In the middle of it, Chiefs fans were besides themselves too.

 

But when you step back, zoom out, a few games looks very small. As they should.

Your threads have been a lot better lately. 

Really good compared to the others started in the past hr

Mahomes lost to the Colts and went to overtime with a Malik Willis titans team. Josh lost to a 7-1 football team where they needed to literally roll 7s for like 10 plays 

[MPT]

Well you left out the 5TD game he had in the middle of that span and the Chiefs won 4 out of 5 of the games you did mention. This isn't all about Allen though. He's not playing well, but these losses are a complete team effort. No one else, including the coaching staff, is going to step up and win us a game when Allen doesn't play well.

Did Patty have the ball with 44 seconds left with nothing to do but seal the victory and somehow lose the game?

Yes I seem to remember him throwing an INT against us with the game on the line just a few weeks ago.

[Process]

I am WAYYYYYYY more worried about Dorsey than I am Josh.

How many QBs would have gone and got us deep into FG range to get OT straight after tho?

I don’t know? Like 3?

People need to stop comparing the ***** we do to the Chiefs. They won theirs. They can do nothing from this point forward and we still aren’t them.

Nothing to do with the Chiefs.

 

It’s comparing great player to great player. Human nature.

Josh Allen might be my favorite bill of all time. Absolutely by a mile of recent Bills…he’s nowhere near Mahomes. Sorry. 

[RiotAct]

he didn’t have rank morons on his sideline like the Bills do.

Mahomes gets the benefit of the doubt (which he has earned) because he has been absolutely stellar since he stepped in as a full time starter.  His career has been historic thus far into a career.  While the Chiefs slipped mid-season last year, they have superb coaching and a generation QB at the helm...they were always going to figure it out.  Not so sure with this staff and QB.  I think Allen will have a fine/great career but he'll never be anywhere near where Mahomes is.

especially not with Neanderthals coaching him.

Allen has beaten Mahomes and that staff 2 of the last 3 times they played.

It's a fantastic comparison.  Not only the slump/stats, but the primary reason for it...

 

Mahomes  LY in slump: struggled to take the checkdown/forced alot in redzone.

 

Sound familiar?  Difference is Mahomes has Andy Reid, I'm hopeful that Dorsey/Allen can get this figured out.  Not as simple as "take the checkdown" every play, it's a fine lime of being aggressive and being smart/efficient.

Except Mahomes collapsed in AFC Championship game. Gave up an 18 pt lead in 2nd half. (See below)

 

"quarterback rating in the first half of Sunday’s game was 149.9. In the second half, it was 34.0 and in overtime was 0.0."

 

"QBR has a zero to 100 rating, and Mahomes got a 98.0 in the first half. In the second half that rating was 1.4."

 

"Fox Sports’ Geoff Schwartz, the former Chiefs’ offensive lineman, wrapped up Sunday’s game well.

 

“This game sums up the Chiefs season,” he wrote. “Could be unstoppable and then look totally mediocre in the same game. Hope they figure out why heading into next season.”

 

Could have written a lot of this about Allen & the Bills.
