The Chiefs Big Three are Mahomes, Chris Jones and Kelce

Mahomes has always been a class act. Until today. What a ridiculous tantrum he threw. And then to double down on it afterwards in his press conference? Just pathetic.

I honestly think he's fed up with his receivers and the offensive production overall and just snapped. It's been building up over the season and he finally lost it. He can't snap at the player, so he has to take it out on someone. Not saying it's right, btw; just offering an explanation as to possibly why.

Brady just screamed at his teammates and cos he’s. He also walked off the field without shaking hands after losses. 
 

mahomes reacted like a baby but he could have been screaming at his teammates instead of the refs. I’m sure there is zero problem in their lockerroom

Yeah, I think there was a lot of displaced projection going on with Mahomes.

The Bills have been the victims of some awful game changing calls and non calls.  Josh is always classy, never complains about refs or teammates.  Patrick has been getting calls for years, then finally gets a call against him, and Mahomes is still crying and bitching. 

 

It says a lot about Josh, and a lot about Mahomes.  Josh outclasses Mahomes

When they make you the golden boy, you get use to getting all the calls. Kudos to the refs for daring to call it.

Mahomes is complete trash and needs to apologize to the league after that outburst. It’s okay to be frustrated but now that he’s seen the replay he has to come out and say something publicly. There’s NO WAY the ref has any idea what was going to happen downfield on that play. He throws the flag immediately, on the snap.

The Kelce meltdown, I didn't see, but there could have been one on his magic play near the end.  Maybe he was just so delighted with his own creativity (well-deserved) that he could tolerate the Offside call against Toney.

 

About Toney -- The refs actually did the Chiefs a favor on that play, just calling the Offside.  Toney ran straight into one of the Bills DB, and then ran straight into another one.  The second one was the pick that got Kelce so wide open.  Go back and watch the replay.  It was blatant OPI.  If the refs had called that, which they should have, it would have backed the Chiefs up by 10, and not by 5.  Fortunately Mahomes' next three passes all fell incomplete, and the Bills won. 

 

But, maybe this is better in the long run.  The Chiefs will have a week to stew about the Offside call, telling each other the refs somehow were to blame or that the refs somehow screwed up.  Any distraction is a good thing.  Here's why.  The Chiefs, whom the Bills beat and would have the tiebreaker over, are only one game ahead of the Broncos, who beat the Bills.  If it comes down to playoff tiebreakers, I want every edge the Bills can get, so I'm hoping Denver wins the AFCW.  (Also if the Chiefs don't make the playoffs, Mahomes will keep alive his streak of never playing a playoff game on the road.)

And every single one of them had a sideline meltdown at some point today.

If that's the best you can get from your leadership, you've got bigger problems than simple execution.

Give me two SuperBowls and you can melt down all you want!

[BillnutinHouston]

This thread is about the Chiefs' leadership "Big 3", but it could easily could read "Gigantic 4" by including Andy Reid.  Contrast his post-game comments with those of McD after the Bills get hosed - another interesting study in leadership under duress.

Technically you're right, but I always knew that guy was a phoney.

 

It is easy to be a class act when everything goes your way all the time.

For the first time in his career, he's had a lot of adversity and his true colours are showing

 I like Mahomes, especially after seeing the Quarterbacks show on Netflix. But I'm not sure I'd say he's always a class act. Dude flops and acts and cries to the refs a TON, even more so than Josh who gets called out in the media all the time for it.

 

Mahomes has been a class act as long as the refs are making calls go their way. Not sure how much that counts.

 

I get it though. The NFL and Refs have trained him to be this way.

 

When you are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Needs to apologize to the league?? That’s going a little too far. He’s going to get a fine this week, he will talk in his presser on Wednesday about it, say it was heat if the moment and try to walk things back, then everyone will move on. Guys get mad all the time.

 

This is exactly why I disagree so much with people on here who say Josh NEEDS to get in his teammates faces. The yelling, tantrums, and outbursts don’t make a great leader. I’ll take how Josh handles things over an embarrassing meltdown any day

[Low Positive]

They've faced zero regular-season adversity in the Mahomes era. They don't know how to handle it.

Frustrations from the whole season boiled over for them yesterday. This loss will probably reset KC for the rest of the season. They entered yesterday’s game with the 3rd seed and a shot at the 1st seed. After the game they’re in the same exact spot. Bills needed this game more so it worked out for Buffalo. On to Dallas!

[H2o]

They have been the darlings of the NFL since 2018 when Mahomes became the starter. He's always been built up as the heir apparent to Brady. The refs immediately started treating them as such. Sports media started treating them as such. They have constantly breezed through the regular season every year. Mahomes has never played a road Playoff game. This is the first time things haven't gone their way at every turn and they're upset about it. Oh well.

Considering Reid is now included in most of Patty's commercials,  their responses are a package deal.

100% agree.

 

Their WRs have cost them 4 games over dumb, botched plays. I think most of Mahomes' reaction was projecting his frustrations with team mates onto the refs.

 

Still a bad look. Looking forward to hearing how much he gets fined.
