Here for this 👀

[@darthbane8023]

At 8:30 Mahomes said he was trying to throw it away in the postgame, his arm getting hit didnt let it go out of bounds

[@brettcap]

That throw at 16:01 tho. Crazy

[@bhlawrence12]

Mahomes seems to have a reasonably consistent good base when playing in structure / in the pocket, at least. Out of structure he just does whatever and it somehow still works lmao.

[@CasinoMike22]

Intrigued to see the “Bad Brock Purdy” this week. He’s been so good this year, gonna be interesting to see the film from this week.

[@chrissiler6075]

I say they are building the team and Andy used a bunch of trick plays to see if any worked. I think week 11 they will be in title run mode

[@chd911sc]

i noticed kelce breaks the huddle before mahomes a lot. i’m convinced he doesn’t know or care what the play call is most of the time and simply ad-libs, finds a soft spot in the zone and squats there. 😀

[@EddieTheHorrorAddict]

“He became the first 49ers quarterback to throw for over 300 yards in a game since 2004 when he completed 20 of 32 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown in a 33-30 win over the Seattle Seahawks” I remember when you brought a breath of fresh air to the 49ers. Seeing a QB throw for 300 and play well excited all of us! If you were given more opportunities you would have been QB1 for a long time in the bay. I made sure my son watched your tapes and learned how it’s done! Always will be a 49er to us!

Thanks, JT. 😊 I really enjoyed your breakdown of each play and repeated views from different angles. Great 👍 job. 👌 #84 Justin Watson dislocated his left elbow on that long pass down the right sideline. Perna also commented on Broncos #27 and what he was doing blocking #1 McKinnon, instead of trying to tackle #15 Mahomes when he scrambled for a 1st down! 😂

Fully expect to see M Hardman’s speed help open up the routes for the other WR. We all know Mahomes will turn it on when he needs to. Dude is other worldly.

[@dustyburwell592]

As I watch you talk about kelce turning down routes, I start to wonder if maybe he’s missing opportunities to pull defenders away from some of the wides for bigger gains. Like, when he settles into the midfield instead of following what should be a double post, does that leave the other post receiver over covered so they can’t shake free?

[@nopeteys2424]

Thats an interesting point that I haven’t considered until now

[@rcfrederick19]

I was wondering the same thing, hard to get open when a defender is covering you when they shouldn’t be in the first place

[@dustyburwell592]

@@rcfrederick19 Right? I mean, it's amazing that he gets open. We get completions. We get yards. But if the concept is to open up a deep ball and they settle for 6 or 7, it feels self limiting.

[@streetzyskater]

Interesting concept but I don't think this is the case. I think it's mahomes getting tunnel vision on Kelce knowing he will get open and not seeing in some of these replays wide open receivers for more yards. There isnt enough trust yet.

[@dustyburwell592]

@@streetzyskater fair. And true about lack of trust. They have a big chicken and egg problem. They haven’t earned trust due to drops, but they don’t get a lot of shots so can’t earn it.

[@RR-ue4im]

Mahomes the Goat 🐐 defenses are throwing alot of different looks this year at mahomes

[@benjaminwachold3736]

For the first time in his career Patrick has a young group of receivers that he has to build chemistry with, an entirely new set of relationships. Everything will be on the same page after the bye week. He’s been pretty consistent within the pocket letting his O line work to protect him, so he can find his target and get the ball out. He’s also got a new set of OTs that unfortunately have had to learn how to protect him, his play style, how he plays the position. These receivers will get it together, my only concern revolves around Skye Moore. He does throws with such great touch on the ball 🏈, he doesn’t need full arm rotation to get it to the target 🎯.

[@sginrummy88]

Rashee Rice #4 is the man for them right now. hes already got that chemistry, just needs the ball more!

[@devonte3062]

[@visionx151]

If the Chiefs front office can get an additional playmaker at WR, then Mahomes will start to put up big numbers. They are one key piece away from being lethal again.

[@gregutz4284]

One of their young WR have to pop. Agreed with you

[@visionx151]

@Davidbenatities no denying he has a big contract. However, it's team friendly, and he recently restructured it. The front office can change the entire season with one key acquisition!

[@ckmoore101]

@@Davidbenatities Like 7 other QB's that are within 10% of Mahomes. And 2 months ago, Mahomes was 8th highest paid. Moronic take.

[@BobungaShamunga]

It’s not even about that. Sore it would be nice to have another good receiver. But teams run zones to shut down big plays and kelce is the only one who knows how to destroy a zone, mahomes has adjusted his game. We don’t need a big play wr, we need one who knows how to work a zone.

[@Charlie5464]

27 jumped a hook early in the game and almost got a pic. Knew that shot was coming. Too bad he didn’t make the catch. Pat takes that stuff personally when DB’s are jumping routes and not respecting the deep ball.

[@EddieHuck]

Great content. However, I disagree with one point. You noted that you didn't like Mahomes complaining at the end of his scramble that set up the 60 yard field goal. My thought is that Pat was lobbying for that extra 15 yards. You mentioned that had he known the kick would have been good from 70 that he could have slid. My argument is that he has such awareness of the field that he knew the kick was going to be perilously long when he goes down and is trying to make things a bit easier on Butker. Other than that I enjoyed the insight you provided and have now subscribed for more content. Keep up the good work.

[@Nobody2day553]

First play looks like a designed pitch by Kelce because the other receiver swings out.

[@chiefmac88]

I've been seeing a lot of wide open receivers and Mahomes has that tunnel vision on Kelce. Which makes total sense. Kelce is his guy. But man at 10:35 Rashee Rice is wide open for a nice gain.

[@imzachwithanh]

I wonder if they've had trouble gelling at QB/receiver core this year bc Kelce is free to do whatever. Receivers are looking for structure, God knows when Kelce's gonna 'feel' an opening in the defense

[@MajorChipHazard16]

Truthfully, it seems like mahomes and andy reid are in a disagreement on who the starting wrs should be. For example, mahomes doesn't target or even look their way when mvs or skyy moore is on the field. But whenever rice, toney, or ross is in the game mahomes will give them opportunities to make a play. But for some reason 6 weeks into the season andy reid is still giving mvs and skyy moore majority of the snaps at wide out..

[@jadenmoyers837]

@@MajorChipHazard16it seems like every time I’ve seen the chiefs try to do an end around or jet sweep with toney, it nearly always gets less than 5 yards. They might need to stop doing that but maybe they’re waiting for an explosive play

[@MajorChipHazard16]

@@jadenmoyers837 yeah I remember when Andy reid first created that play for deanthony Thomas. You need his or mecole Hardmans -- and of course tyreek hill -- type speed for that play to be effective. I wish they would focus on buildings kadarius toneys route tree. He's too damn athletic and dispite what people think because of one game he has really good hands. Its crazy that the chiefs don't take advantage of his or rashee rice ability to attack downfield intermediate and deep passes

[@MrDavidknigge]

29:40 84 Justin Watson (not 24) dropped the sweet pass then dislocated his left elbow.

[@rayhumber1931]

Noticing receivers aren't consistently getting open as much as people saying they are outside of Kelce. They get open for one or two plays then get shutdown.

[@TheRoyal30]

I was surprised that he even made a big deal out of it. Glad the refs kept the flag in their pocket so other teams fans don't have anything to bitch about

[@steviekeas]

@@TheRoyal30I’m pretty sure it wasn’t getting hit that he was complaining about…it was the defender slapping his helmet. QBs take head blows seriously, and intentional & unneeded helmet slapping seems to piss them off quite a bit. Go figure.

[@georgecastle18]

Is Bryce getting a video for week 5?

[@MrDavidknigge]

At 28:08 - 27 crashes down on 1 because he remembers, and was probably coached, to take out the potential receiver. Number 1 got a TD on a flip from 15 last year.

[@tucsonbandit]

mahomes is way past the line of scrimmage though, he can't throw it unless he throws it backwards at that point, they guy he took out was not a potential receiver in that play.

Honey, wake up a new QB school video just dropped

Rashee Rice on the come up

[@dfp_01]

It sounds weird to say, but Veach and his crew need to have their eyes scouting tight ends and receivers who are currently freshmen and sophomores to develop and replace Travis Kelce once he inevitably retires. (Yes, I know Kelce was a quarterback for a long time.) Preferably someone with good hands, good route-running ability, the size and strength to make contested catches and break tackles, a high football IQ, and a coachable demeanor. The reason I say they need to start looking now is I'm already starting to worry about the lack of depth behind Kelce, and he's not getting any younger.

[@soma27]

Does this guy work for pff? I swear these guys always have back handed compliments for Herbert but love Mahomes unconditionally. In other videos if Herbert throws a good ball and it’s just the slightest bit off all you hear is “Herbert made it work, not a perfect throw”. But when Mahomes throws to an open kelce and he has to stop his progress and flop his body and end up turning all the way around because Mahomes doesn’t lead him like he should it’s just “great play great throw great catch”. Same thing when they make a throw harder than it should be.

[@TheQBSchool]

ha. they wish. jk

[@soma27]

@@TheQBSchool😂 someone’s gotta make sense of their formula

[@bookman7409]

Regarding the play at 35:00, O'Sullivan made a mistake. It's obvious to me that 74 was assigned to block #0, who was lined up as the edge rusher, but he dropped into covering Kelce. If anything, the call or adjustment was wrong, it's not on 74, who turned to face his expected assignment and saw nobody. Most likely, it was a superior play call by Vance, who has chops of his own. Sometimes the D wins big on calls, too.

[@spiderwebb222]

Please tell us, how is it obvious what 74 was assigned to do? Do you have inside knowledge of the Chiefs blocking schemes? It's obvious what he tried to do, but it's also obvious that there wasn't supposed to be a free rusher through the B gap, so obviously somebody messed up their assignment. Whether that's on 74 or the right guard is unclear at best - and that's exactly what JT says, so he's hardly making a "mistake". My best guess: the entire line except the right tackle slides to the left, so I'm guessing he was supposed to slide left too and block the B gap, but there are several other possibilities too. I wouldn't say anything about the blocking assignments in that play was obvious.

[@bookman7409]

@@spiderwebb222 Didn't you see #0 lined up as a 9-tech/edge? He's over Kelce, and would you expect him to attempt to cover him, as an OLB vs an elite TE? Furthermore, that's who 74 turned to face, and was left standing alone. If he didn't believe that 0 was his assigned man, why would he turn that way? Could it be that he simply didn't hear the adjustment? Of course, but a wrong adjustment call is also popular, and, as I said, it's quite possible that DEN just got one over on them that play. But my bottom line is that there was an EDGE to his side and Kelce wasn't assigned to block him, and he obviously played that way. He took his initial position and settled in before realizing the problem, rather than realizing he'd made a mistake immediately, his body language is clear that he thinks he's where he's supposed to be, until it was too late, though it was too late when he deployed right, rather than inside. If you don't believe that, so be it, but what else could he have been thinking when he played that way, "where am I supposed to go?" wouldn't have looked like that. A mistake maybe, but whose?

[@jaha777jaha6]

Tyreek hill ,schuster kelce, Hopkins ,chase, Jefferson, kupp etc those guys create the offense downfield and when they're gone the offense is affected ,period...gronk and brady but in the last 2 seasons no gronk no offense even with brady, mahomes is no different and they'd better go after some wrs in the draft or trade because that offense is stagnant without a legit wr ,seen what happens when kelce is out, not good ,Patrick is a great qb with great oc but the secondary isn't explosive anymore because of mid tier talent on the outside

The amount of people in here calling Mahomes ordinary, and not that good this year are outright blind. You all the same ones who cant believe Purdy is playing like a top 3 QB. This superbowl will be Mahomes vs Purdy dueling in the desert.

[@kristobin8451]

What should concern any Chiefs fan is Mahomes only completed 1 contested pass this entire game. Unless they were wide open he couldn't hit his mark. That will work against bad teams but against better ones it wont play out well

[@jca7343]

It is concerning, but it's not on Pat. Outside of Kelce (and at times Rice) his receivers are terrible and he has no reason to trust them.

[@rool7956]

Veach messed up with a weak draft and paying all that money for useless tackles

Interesting how ordinary he looks without Tyreek Hill, Shuster, and when Kelce wasn't in at the beginning of the year. He's used to these guys bailing him out. Look at what what Tyreek Hill is doing for Tua right now. Joe Montana won two Super Bowls before he had the Superstars surrounding him like Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Brent Jones, Rathman, etc. Rookie Roger Craig wasn't even a starting RB yet, he was just a blocking Fullback when he won his 2nd Super Bowl, the rest were regular players. That's the difference between the all-time elite greats and the really good. They can elevate the journeymen around them and make them look like Pro Bowlers.
