Gil 243 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Tyreek’s long TD reception - Morse whiffed his block and the DT was in Mahomes’ face immediately. He stood in and delivered a perfect dime. No way Alex makes that throw or even attempt it. We all watched him take that sack for 5 years. It’s a new day.

soonerborn77 276 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The even more amazing part is people on twitter pointed out that he was lined up and facing the back coming out of the backfield so he essential threw a no look bullet to Hill.

sith13 1,746 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 My mind wanders back to the playoff loss to the Steelers with Hill roaming free and Smith running for his life at the first sight of a defender 😖 It's a whole new era now and a lot of things will be different on offense.

Legend of AC 269 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That throw had such velocity that it caught the entire Chargers D off guard. Thing of beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 That was a big time throw. And I just heard the TD pass to Sherman that the play wasn’t even designed for him. Mahomes found him anyway and delivered a great touch pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evad 242 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Mahomes played decent, he made a few really good throws and a few not so good. 15 of 27 for 256 is just good, 4 td's, with two being a one yard forward pitch is also good. The Chiefs would have lost that game if not for the special teams play, and an outstanding day for Tyreek Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesebobby 5,663 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The play that stood out to me was the throw to Sherman. That was a back breaker and thrown as well as could be thrown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scanned the field, and found Sherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West 6,714 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hill was the MVP for the week. He dominated the game and his toughness should not be underestimated. The dude is a rock. The most impressive things about Mahomes: 1. He can make all the throws. Darts, touch passes, screens and long throws. 2. He makes good decisions 3. He is smart enough to know that he can do much better. His post game interview was impressive. Once again, He is a great kid and we are very lucky to get him. He is also very lucky to have Andy Reid as a coach. Its a very optimistic time in KC for the Chiefs. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did exactly what was required of him. I don't care so much about his stats. His 20+ yard 3rd down conversion to Hill in the 3rd quarter when we had to have it is another example of his ability to create something out of nothing -- those are the kind of plays that have been missing. And he's just going to get better. Of course he's going to have rough moments and games this year, but the praise is not at all unwarranted IMO.

Legend of AC 269 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Let’s not forget that Mahomes was up against a pretty good defense, even without Bosa. Gus Bradley is a stud DC, but it didn’t matter because PM2 makes throws that one other guy in the NFL can make. It’s still surreal to me that he’s a Chief!

And most importantly we were 2-2 in converting red zone trips into TDs. He was really good yesterday. I think you would be the only person who would evaluate this as somehow only slightly better than average. But to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,210 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Mahomes played well, but he make some mistakes that hopefully will be fixed as he matures. For example, he left the pocket early on one play when Kelce was coming open. It's probably a case of being more careful about turnovers, but Reid says Mahomes is a quick learner and I think he'll be better at risk evaluation with a little more experience.

Mistakes were obvious at times and still a huge amount for him to learn. But his mistakes werent game killers. While the plays he made were game winners. If that makes sense. Simply the first QB we’ve had here in my lifetime that I would evaluate that has a ceiling of 10. He’s nowhere near that yet. And has a really tough task against a Pittsburgh team that gave Alex Smith fits. And it sounds like it may be a rainy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 As an analyst I just heard on the radio mention this one play thing is actually very important. This is the type of QB who can play poorly and still make that one play that gets his team the W. Elway used to do that to us all the time. Three bad quarters and then brilliance to beat us. Just more opportunties to win games especially in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
