In Mahomes' defense, he usually sees the flag and tried to make a play, which leads to some of those INTs.

about half of them are offsides where he's thrown it up after the flag

the guy who actually has the highest rate of overturned INTs (without offsides calls) is Joe Burrow lol
 
I think this 0-2 start is good tbh. We've had such easy regular seasons for awhile now because Lamar is so good. There's been little adversity until the playoffs ans then we shit the bed because we have no grit. Everyone excuses is it because oh we got to the divisional round or the AFC championship.

This year we're forced early to learn how to win and be gritty. If we can't it will be an awful season and hopefully we can use the draft position to get better. But more likely in my opinion, this is where we do learn that grit and it helps us be way more successful in the playoffs.

I believe in this team. It starts with Harbs. If he acts reasonably, Monken and Orr will get on track. Time for everyone to grow up fast.

What's infuriating is it's not the grit I question with this team, it's the execution and lack of necessary adjustments for me.

Lamar doesn't need an amazing OL to be great. Just needs to be competent. I still don't get the rotation on the RT, but whatever. The quicker RR becomes the full-pledged starter, the better. As far as the RG is concerned, look....I don't want to repeat myself.
 
So 2 of my favourite teams the Sydney Swans and the Newtown Jets are through to the grand final. Last time that happened was 2012. Ravens winning it all baby!

Pretty hard to beat them when this is truly a weekly occurance. And also, Mahomes has more interceptions overturned because of "penalties" than anyone by a huge margin

I can actually answer this one!

If a defender performs a rip move and causes the offensive lineman arms to be pushed upward around the neck, it isn't a penalty because the defender caused the positioning.

I have NO idea what happened on this particular play, but just something to be generally aware of.
