So Judon is absolute trash. He’s not even worth half of his tag and I don’t know how anyone could defend him anymore. My mind was already made up when Hooper stood him up week one and tonight just solidified it. What good is a pressure when the QB steps out of it and hits a pass. Judon literally whiffs every time he gets his hand on someone. Might as well trade him and recoup 17 million because Bowser couldn’t do any worse.
I’m not sure if Lamar is trying to force it on go routes to Hollywood or if his sideline throwing on streaks is just atrocious. I’m genuinely starting to miss the vertical threat that Flacco offered with his big arm. Sick of this horizontal shit for 1 yard or a loss. Lamar had under 100 yards throwing tonight. That’s unacceptable. I want to see more under Center stuff. Good defenses are catching on to this Pistol.
I will never give Mahomes praise. Take away Hill, Kelce, and his 4.2/4.3 guys and he ain’t shit. At least Brady in his prime turned Walmart employees into elite receivers. Matt Moore and Alex Smith thrived in that system.
We’ll be one and done in the playoffs yet again if we don’t get our shit together. We need another weapon on offense AND A PASS RUSH. Before you know it, this Super Bowl window will close and we’ll have to pay Lamar some Watson money and there goes our chance.

a couple of things:
1) i basically agree with you on judon - he's here to rush the passer and through 3 weeks has tons of "pressures" but zero sacks and the only hit he got on mahomes today outside of when he jumped (i still think he was onside when the ball was snapped) was a cheap shot with his elbow when he was being hit by someone else already - he's made too many mistakes to be paid 17m and i do kinda wish at this point we'd given that money to clowney because at least he's dominant in the running game (while also being a pass rusher) - dont get me wrong i love the versatility that judon offers but if he's hanging his hat on his play in coverage at this point then he's worth way less than tyus bowser at this point
2) lamar just missed on those 2 bombs to hollywood today but dont let your memories taint you - for as big as joe's arm was he really wasnt that good of a deep ball thrower
3) Mahomes clearly benefits from the system he plays in - but he's exceptional in 2 particular assets - 1) he's great at running those deception plays and he's really quick on his 1st read and 2) when that 1st read is gone he's so good at making time for his receivers to get open downfield - he knows he has amazing weapons so he makes sure to buy time for them to get open and run under a pass - it would for sure be interesting to see him try and succeed without calibre and depth of weapons he has - sammy watkins as the 3rd/4th receiving option on the team is outrageous - demarcus robinson as the 6th option is even more ridiculous
