The Good, the bad, and the inability to beat good teams

I had incorrectly assumed the play was a Tampa 2 Coverage; it was just standard Cover 2. And really, watching that play, the Ravens were actually in perfect position to defend every route. They put 5 players at the sticks and had the two deep safeties to take away the two deep routes.

Truly, this was just Patrick Mahomes playing backyard football and making the most absurd throw imaginable in that scenario.

Sorry, that's just not good enough.

We need someone to blame!

i thought it would be weird for CJ to be playing the deep middle dropping from the a-gap like that
my initial reaction when i saw it and upon review is that Mahomes made an incredible throw and tyreek hill just had too much speed - watching it live i remember thinking CJ nearly made a great play and that the chiefs just made a better one rather than something had gone especially wrong in coverage

I blame Mosley for slipping, he had good positioning, and fucked up despite that ball hanging there forever and having time to adjust, and instead he slipped and fell. Nothing about that play looked broken to me despite the long extend by mahomes, jimmy was trailing, weddle over the top, Mosley right underneath, and that ball came underneath.

Judon! I remember one snap where he completely destroyed Mitchell Schwartz one of the top3 RTs

This dude is doing something wrong in the offseason, because he starts out USELESS every year and comes on very strong around mid November.

 

[balfan23]

Correct - neither negative nor positive

Sometimes teams make a good play. As someone else pointed out, this game felt more like we just lost to a better team than choking the game away. That goddam Mahomes, but I'm still pissed we couldn't stop a 4th and 9.

its crazy that it happened the exact same way last year - very little early in the year and then he started taking over games later in the year...

but he's getting to the qb - he's converting lots of those pressures into qb hits too

he just looks different - he's winning early in the down and is a threat to a tackle going inside or outside

4.5 of his 7 sacks have come in the last 4 games since week 11 and post-bye

after the bye in 2017 (week 10 bye again - so week 11 onwards) he had 5 of his 8 sacks in those 7 games

Lol Humphrey just retweeted the play I meant.

watching him win in difficult circumstances on sunday ive now completely flipped - i think mahomes now has to be the front runner for MVP over Brees now

It’s definitely between him and Brees. Maybe that will end up co MVPs

I totally agree and it needs to be recognized and fixed

Many have given the Chiefs credit, but some of those calls/non calls were trash. Enjoy the win.

Brees doesn’t deserve to be mvp after the last couple of weeks. He’s too reliant on a good ground game.

The better team won, I’m not gonna play like the ravens are better than the chiefs, but that non call on Chris Moore in the end zone was blatant and inexcusable, and it would’ve been the difference, the push off on Crabtree was questionable at best since the db was holding and the refs needed to either offset or let them play, then the late 4th down to Snead was pretty textbook interference as well but I won’t complain about that since we were depending on a miracle at that point anyway.

You better hope you don’t see us in the playoffs is all I got to say, and deep down you already know you don’t wanna see us again.

mahomes already said he expects to see us again in the playoffs

No question they are getting credit, but you have to admit there were some pretty bad calls that you received and we didn’t.

And he’s thinking to himself: “damn... I’m gonna need to make miracles happen again?”
