Anyone else find a big coincidence that NFL fans made a big stink about how many of Mahomes interceptions are negated by mysterious ref calls and then the NFL seems like they stopped doing that because there was too much attention on it and he now leads the league in interceptions?

weird….
He honestly might just be regressing
due to O line play or off field issues or lack of open targets or whatever

He is still super dangerous once he breaks pocket and goes street ball

Lol...how are you that bad.

I'll tell you how. You draft a run stuffing 2-gap DT and tell him to lose 30+ pounds in only a few months because you want him to "better fit the scheme". He then sucks because instead of working on being a better DT you have him dieting and doing cardio only. Then after a season of him getting blown off the ball because he's to weak for the NFL level you say "Hey...try gain all that weight back in a few months please and be better" like its fucking easy to just pack on 30lbs of useful weight and not gas out.

My god, the CTs you tards come up with.

Mahomes sees an offsides flag he takes a shot. That’s why he gets INTs called back

Half his picks are tipped/bad bounces this year. The two on Sunday, one was batted into the air by a lineman, the other the intended receiver fell. That’s not the ref’s.

If it makes you feel better, yeah Mahomes is the worst starting QB in the league. He’s still beat all y’all’s teams and is getting that 3-peat and a 4th Super Bowl MVP. The only question is whether they drop a regular season game this season, or if they join the ‘72 Dolphins as undefeateds.
"Mahomes sees an offsides flag he takes a shot. That’s why he gets INTs called back"

That would be a good point if Mahomes didn't also get to have more free plays then most other QBs because refs eat their whistles when it's narrative QBs like Mahomes.

Mahomes just had a super short prime... they can't all be Brady.
Brady looked shitty plenty of times as well
Sometimes a QB goes on a run of bad decisions, and sometimes the team bails them out and sometimes they don't.
Longevity and success will depend on roster and coach as well

Season low yards vs Chiefs
Season low yd per carry vs Chiefs
The Ravens quit trying in the second half it was so bad.
You're seriously hanging your hat on literally the first game action Henry saw as a Raven? We all know offenses are always worse at the beginning of the season.

You really think that if Baltimore and KC were to play next week that Henry wouldn't have a much better game?

Fucking hell you're retarded.

Do you remember how amazing and unstoppable the Ravens running game was last year in the playoffs?

What happened? KC shut it down. Same scheme, you just put a bigger body back there. KC shuts it down again in January. The Ravens are great this year, but the Chiefs are a Team of Destiny. It's bad luck for y'all, but it's just what it is. At least you can say you have the MVP and the MVP runner up on your team this year, and that's pretty fricken cool.

KC didn't shut down the Ravens rushing attack... Monken just went away from the run for no goddamned reason.

Gus Edwards only got 3 carries... for 20 yards.

No team right now is shutting down Baltimore's offense. The only way to win is a shootout.

I cant wait for a player to say fuck it and destroy Mahomes at the sideline. No place in football for that bullshit of faking going out.
100%.
It's a bullshit move. He knows he's protected and the defense is going to lay off. So when they peel off pursuit he cuts back in for 15 extra yards.

Fuck that. If I'm going to give up 15 yards I'm fine with it being via penalty by knocking that poof into next week.

I can't wait for someone to de-cleat him. If fans feel that strongly about it I can't imagine how irritated defenders get with it.

The contact was in bounds, and the defender backed off a little. It looked bad because Lamar backed off a lot. It did looked worse at first take, but the other angles clearly showed he was inbounds at contact.

Yes. It was legal.

But would have 100% been a penalty if it was Mahomes.

And you know this.

Lamar is the reigning MVP, the presumptive MVP this season. You don't think he's afforded protections that elite QBs are afforded? LJ is another guy the NFL absolutely wants on the field, and he is on the short list of QBs to be protected.

But, in the interest of keeping an open mind, can you provide an example of a similar sideline play where a defender was flagged, where most QBs would not. Honestly the only flag I remember on a late sideline hit on Mahomes was in the Cincinatti game.
