Mahomes crying

[muppy]

too funny

What is going on with the Chiefs IMO is frustration due to their belief they were the NE Patriots replacement in the AFC.

They believed (and others too) that they will continue to be the top team every season.  They are a good team and could even win more SBs,

but they are not the 2001-2019 NE Patriots.  Neither is any other team in the NFL.  Mahomes, Reed and the Chiefs are a good 

combination but no matter what anyone says, it's hard to keep winning in the NFL year after year.  Not just talent wise and physically,

but mentally too. 

 

The NE Patriots (with Brady) was an anomaly.  Parity is the norm in the NFL and that's why what happened this weekend happened.

I believe that there is a lot of disgruntled Buffalo Bills fans on this board who would look at their team a little differently if they

understood that. 

 

I truly believe the NE Patriots "Dynasty" hurt football for the average fan.  Forget it, it's over and let's get back to what football was before

that team from Boston existed.  Many teams each year will have a chance for the SB, but only 1 will get it.

im sure we've all experienced people in our lives that everything seems to go right for them at all times,  they seem great.  then something bad happens,  thats when you see the real person behind the curtain.   its about how you react to adversity,  not how you are when everything is working in your favor.   we're seeing the true Patty now.   not surprising tbh.

How was he crapping on his oline? Have you ever played football? Those conversations have multiple times a game. He bought them custom golf carts and tried motivating them to play better. I would love to be crapped on like that. 

He is. The fact he is making Sam Howell look like a passable nfl starter is proof enough. 

 

I am not a Mahomes hater and my boy played guard all thru school and college. 

 

I've been around the game enough to know that there is a game within the game especially in the trenches so I showed that clip to him at our holiday get together.

 

We catch some Bills games together, but he does not follow the sport that much after playing; His focus and muse is law and pursuing his government minion career in DC at the DOJ, but I asked if that was motivational to him and would he want to block for that guy?

 

He laughed and said he would rather block for Allen, after asking if that was really his voice?

 

So to me, or at least to a former OL player, that was just a QB venting frustration and whining. I stand by the fact that he owns some of the poor play yesterday and there was a better way to rally the big boys - gifts aside.

 

Mahomes has his share of highlight reel plays, and has sub-par receiving options this season. Hill and Kelce created a lot of space to operate and both have great hands and catch radius.

 

Hill is gone and Kelce is one weapon, but his penchant for holding the ball, running around in circles behind the LOS, and being creative off schedule is very hard for any O-Line player to block for and puts a lot of stress on those guys he is screaming at.

 

If you want to believe that was a motivational speech you are certainly welcome to it. 

 

I think I would prefer to bleed and block for Allen he could keep the custom carts.

Letting your emotional connection to something get in the way of your ability to understand reason and logic is a really bad way to go through life.

 

Yes, and I'm afraid you've done just that. Earlier in the thread when you said "Allen has a hall of fame talent in his offense," that is your emotional connection to the Bills getting in the way. That's you having watched Diggs play since 2020 and applying all of that pre-conceived experience to this year, when in fact this year he has not been close. Having opinions borne from being too close to your favorite team goes in both directions.

 

The reality is that Mahomes has the hardware so it isn't exactly difficult to make the case that he has been better than Allen. Personally I think they have alternated since Allen broke out. Mahomes was better in 2020 and 2022, Allen was better in 2021 and this year.

 

You still have not fully reckoned with the fact that Mahomes has had a massive advantage in the talent around him over the course of his career compared to Allen over the course of his. Don't just brush off that he had four years of:

 

1) The greatest pass catching TE of all time

2) The greatest speed WR of all time

3) The most experienced offensive play caller of all time.

 

Any one of those, especially the first two, gave him a huge statistical edge to start his career. Look at what Tua has done just since getting one of those advantages. Mahomes had all three.

 

Diggs has been a great player, but let's be realistic Allen has never had anything approaching the three major advantages that Mahomes had to start his career. We're talking literally three greatest of all time candidates. Turning that into 50 passing TDs and a Super Bowl is still a huge accomplishment. I am not trying to take away from the greatness of Mahomes. But please give some respect to that supporting cast and how it influenced some of the statistical edges he now has over Allen.

Its just normal NFL nonsense.   He's been incredible through his first 7 years.   But rather than just say he's been incredible, people had to start putting him in the same conversation as Brady, which is both disrespectful to how truly great Brady was, and pretty much setting Mahomes up for a let down.  

 

Mahomes is likely going to end up having his worst full season in the NFL this year, but it still a very good season in comparison with his peers.    Just have to wade through the bs to get a sense of what really is going on.   For my money Mahomes is still the best QB in the league, but the Chiefs are dealing with the outcome of having to pay a QB huge money coupled with drafting late every year, and his weapons aging out of the league.  Kelce is on his last legs, Tyreek Hill's influence on the Chiefs was underestimated, and they've done a poor job of drafting.   Championship football takes a lot of things happening well all at the same time..    That said, I'd still take the two championships they have.

I agree with most of this, very much, but the Chiefs have actually drafted well for the most part.  CEH was a good fit for the Chiefs of three years ago but Pacheco is much better for the 2023 team.  The Chiefs O line was converted quickly from a disaster to a strength, and you can say the same about their defense.  What hasn't panned out is the WR positions, where it appears the Chiefs got complacent, didn't upgrade, and figured Mahomes and Kelce could keep on figuring it out.

Not to mention Spags as a DC who is pretty solid.

 

How can I forget the epic 13 second fail that prevented Allen from having a great chance of looking Mahomes in the eye and flashing his own hardware.

 

One team got it done and one did not.

Unpopular opinion: Yoko Ono is one of the most interesting people of the 20th century. Have you ever read about her harrowing experiences near the end of WW II in Japan and in the years immediately thereafter? Or her outsized role in the mid-60s Fluxus art movement? If you went to UB like I did (for undergrad), you may have come across professors Paul Sharits (creator of the flicker film and a fluxus luminary) and Tony Conrad, who gave the Velvet Underground their name. Both were involved in that movement, which all preceded her meeting John Lennon. Anyway, go Yoko, who is 1,000 times more interesting than Taylor Swift.

Notice it’s always the downer fans that tend to run to support opposing team QBs? Why is that? Maybe that’s the conversation we should be having.

People seem to forget Mahomes before he got the super bowls and how much of a baby/drama queen he was.

 

This is always who he's been...it just hasn't showed because he's had the luxury of being the darling of the league and has constantly won.

 

 

I always say you are who you associate with, and we see what people who chooses to bring to the game, really just his wife and brother rub me the wrong way.

 

So i always figured deep down he was just like them.

One thing’s for sure, Meathead Kelce is no John Lennon.

Maybe they're not "fans" or maybe they're just overly invested in their negative takes on Allen from back in April 2018.

I love the idea that he was crapping on his O-Line on national TV.

 

I can see the wheels turning now for some of those guys... "what free rusher?".

 

Adversity brings out the best and the worst in folks. Seeing it play out in KC this season and where is Mahomes ownership throwing that weak pick six with that defender watching his eyes all the way?

 

 

 

 

 

Bills fans were asking for Allen to be for vocal with his teammates when the team was struggling. But when another qb does it it’s a bad thing? Brady did all the time. It’s competitive passion.
