Tom vs. Patrick -- Super Bowl LV thread

The one where he hit his god damn teammate in the helmet with his pass?

 

If it was a tighter game and he wasn't half concussed, I wouldn't have been surprised if he called upstairs to have that fella cut before the next Tampa Bay snap.

 

Yup.

 

Mahomes hit 2 guys in the face in the end zone on impossibly extended plays. Not his fault he was running for his life on half the snaps.

 

A conventional quarterback would have had a coach who wasn't an idiot and who would have called some draws and screens, run the ball more and basically not served his QB on a platter. Reid was awful yesterday. The Mahomes fellatio based on crazy throws is ridiculous. He was lucky not to have six picks.

 

Even minus the tackles, the team on the field last night likely is the most talent that will share a field with Mahomes for the next 7 years.
His salary cap number goes from $5.3 million to $24.8 million next season.

He took 2.4% of the cap this year. He'll take 17.6% in 2023.

 

He was the only one making plays and the coaches put him and the team in impossible positions. When the offensive line has the effectiveness of a training sled, why are you calling 7-step drop back plays where receivers are running 20 yards down the field to get open? Mahomes' best plays of the night came when he hit Kelsey on a 5 yard pass and let him do the rest. Why weren't the Chiefs getting the ball out quick on screens or short dump offs? Or call more run plays? You can't expect Mahomes to run for his life on every play and think that is a winning strategy. And for the love of God, if your QB brains you with the ball, you should catch it!

 

Yeah, we definitely shouldn't comment positively on throws like this. It was incomplete. Because it hit the receiver in the face mask.

 

That fucker threw—while parallel to the ground—a better spiral than I can probably expect to throw just playing pitch and catch in the yard. And it was on target.

 

Agree to disagree, I suppose, but he had no idea where that ball was going. It hit a teammate in the facemask. Calling him a receiver, like he meant to throw it to that particular guy, is a stretch.

 

As the first comment accurately states, "also, it was incomplete." There's not a quarterback playing above high school who couldn't throw a ball 30 yards from that position.
