Handswarmer 645 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Patrick Mahomes was running for his life behind an injury-battered offensive line when the Chiefs lost Super Bowl LV, but he’s not going to put the blame on the five guys in front of him. Mahomes says that he has watched and re-watched that Super Bowl and come to the conclusion that he was too quick to start scrambling and that on some of the Chiefs’ bad offensive plays, the offensive line actually did a good job of protecting him and he did a bad job of trusting them. “Sometimes,” Mahomes told Kevin Clark of TheRinger.com, “when I get hit early, I don’t trust staying in the pocket and going through my reads.” Mahomes said that while he has had success throwing on the run throughout his career, he needs to remind himself that the first option is to stay in the pocket. “I kind of get back to that backyard-style football a little bit too much. And you could definitely see that in the Super Bowl. I mean, there were times that pockets were clean and I was still scrambling,” Mahomes said. It’s a credit to Mahomes as a leader that he’s not looking to throw his teammates under the bus, but it’s undeniable that the Chiefs’ offensive line struggled against the Buccaneers, and Kansas City’s top offseason priority was putting a better line in front of Mahomes. This season, Mahomes likely won’t be running for his life so much, both because the line in front of him is better, and because he’s learned some lessons from that Super Bowl loss.

Calichief 3,016 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The play calling, and lack of adjustments are what cost us. Along with the oline. It was a team loss including the coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 AFC mentioned avoiding injuries and bad calls and bad breaks in an previous post in regards to winning a SB. It was the perfect storm for us in the SB. Oline banged up and in way over their head, no adjustments offensively, WR/TE's dropping key passes that would have changed momentum, and some bad calls that extended scoring drives for the Bucs that all played a part in that embarrassing lose. Nice to see Mahomes not throwing his team under the bus but you don't go out and rebuild the Oline like we did if the Oline isn't the biggest issue, still nice to see a leader should and shield the blame.

You hit the nail on the head with one exception in my opinion. As much as I hate Brady, the Bucs plays balls to the wall and had a hell of a game plan. They flat outplayed us.

sith13 1,746 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 WTF is Mahomes talking about? He was the only shining light in that lame offense. Not sure if he's delusional or simply trying to have others' back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Chiefs got beat and got beat bad. Simply as that. But if u really watch the game there a play or two in first half that would have changed the complexion of the game. the offside on the TB FG before half was the biggest.
