15 is a shape shifter at QB. He can adjust his game to whatever the defense is giving him.

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

I remember after his first Super Bowl season he was asked “what did he think he could improve upon?” he said he didn’t completely know how to read a defense..😳😳 I was like are you kidding me right now! Then I thought this kids is gonna be dangerous once he learns how to read a defense. Well now we see haha two more super bowls later .

[@pristinedecision1877]

@@SouthernPioneer1965I will continue to harp on this; his progression and incremental evolution week over week, and year over year is astounding and he has already won at the highest level with wildly varying roster compositions. From the Tyreek Hill days of stretching defenses vertically and airing it out, to a more deliberate “take what the defense gives you” approach of nickel and diming particularly in the intermediate area of the field and now this defensive minded team that allowed (or forced at times) him to eliminate needless mistakes because he could trust the defense to get a stop and play for the next drive.

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

@@pristinedecision1877 💯 agree .. people keep underestimating him and the team , because they feel if he was that good they would be having blow out games. Well they might of if they didn’t experience the WR issue this season. But the fact each year he has been faced with some kind of adversity that has shaped him into a better QB . So many people harp on physical talent.. it’s like they forgot about how much football is a mental game . QB intelligence.. This kids has it , he has a massive drive to succeed like no other, mixed with dedication and Andy Reid! It’s no wonder they have become so great. I just watched the NFL mic ed up . Mahomes is on the stage with his wife and kids. They just won the Super Bowl and he’s already saying “I want three in a row , I want one more!” I mean that’s insane , good for us fans !

[@winonamekko4885]

Saw the mic'd up. Someone said he's just a regular QB 👀

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

@@winonamekko4885 I saw that too. Inside The NFL has a hood show and more mic’ed up stuff . It’s good !👍

[@lifeforms7423]

Don't forget Mahomes had arguably the greatest overall QB season ever last year too. Broke the total yards record, won regular season MVP, won the SB, and won SB MVP. Then they turn around and win the SB again, having to go through the hardest playoff road in recent memory, if not ever. No doubt 2 of the greatest seasons back to back for a QB and team.

[@adamdalla485]

Patrick Mahomes shape shifts like the villain from Terminator 2 when the game is on the line. Clutch af

Per opponent offensive dvoa they faced the hardest path to the title in the history of the nfl holding them all to 15ppg avg. Kudos to the D.

Me too! He’s such a hater & I think he knows Mahomes is coming for it all

[@reedfagan8330]

Talking about Chiefs fans watching the game late and being like, "We're still in this". That's exactly right. Mahomes Magic has taught us to not even really sweat when we're down at the half, like even the 10 pts to the Eagles last year, because statistically still, Mahomes wins more of those games than he loses.

[@troylatterell]

Great spot-on comment, your right, you nailed it, the Chiefs beat the fastest team, the hottest team, the best team and the best roster on the road. That for me was a oh wow moment. Nice analysis guys.

[@isaacwillis725]

That dude just blew our minds with that take that the superbowl went just like their season did, first 3-4 quarters they made some mistakes couldn't break through but the defense led them, and then at the end of the game in OT they turned it on. Mind blown, that did mirror exactly what they did during the season and then the playoffs!

[@TheShepdawg9]

They didn't 'turn it on'. The 49ers just went into soft coverage, which is the dumbest decision I've seen in years

[@davidsoria7701]

At no time did i worry about losing to the fortywhiners,don't matter if you lose by 1 or 21 a loss is a loss,i knew Purdy was good but not elite or great and has a weak arm and is short and is a system qb,he had a horrid 3rd qtr had a couple bad overthrows in the endzone and panics in the face of the blitz!

[@olympiajj]

Goat mahomes greatest we have ever seen

[@ZiggyZou]

This Josh Allen comparisons to Mahomes are long and dead 😂 I don’t want ever hear that again. It’s not close lol

[@halamadridpatriotsnationgo1057]

I concur. The only man alive that can 100% own mahomes is Brady!

[@RONJAE212003]

What I don’t understand is why it’s okay for Brady to beat US in OT but the moment we beat the Bills in OT (in the exact same fashion), the NFL changes the rules?

[@blondefox315]

It wasn’t that simple….Josh Allen and the bills were literally crying over it and fought hard to change the OT rules. Meanwhile, they should have known by then, never give the ball back to 15 with any time left, doesn’t matter that it was only 12 seconds!!! That game was wild. I will never forget it. 3-peat 2024!!!

[@darvell29scott5]

Great Question

[@davidm.2141]

Chiefs submitted a rule change after their defeat in the AFC Championship by the Patriots in OT. It was rejected.

[@boco1951]

Bills, Ravens then 49ers. That’s beating the best teams of the year!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

The #2, #1 & #1 seeds. They were also the top 4 or 5 offenses in yet league. That pretty damn hardcore

Dolphins were no slouch either

[@jpap967]

@halamadridpatriotsnationgo1057 against the Chiefs that game they were, but they were blowing people out in the season. 2nd most points scored and 5th best point differential (Chiefs were 6th in point differential, and 15th in total points scored). They played badly that game due to the weather and the Chiefs defense but they weren't a bad team, especially as far as a 1st round wildcard game opponent goes.

[@kristinegeise3500]

LUV YOUR PROGRAM AND COMMENTARY!

[@StEvEn-dp1ri]

He patiently watched and learned what Bosa's tendencies were in the first half, letting his defense keep them in the game. In the second half after his interception, he put that knowledge to work. Especially in the fourth quarter and OT and exploited Bosa's willingness to stop Pacheco in the run. Reid called the right play and Mahomes and the offense executed perfectly. Shanahan was schooled and San Fransisco's DC is out of a job. Ain't that a bitch?

He’s Elways’s physicality, Marino’s arm, and Archie Manning’s improvisation. Also Brady and Montana’s cool. GOAT.

[@jjgreen5206]

Great analysis by Chris. He’s been there alone all along. With all the hate for the Chiefs, he’s been objective all along. I admire people like that. People who say what they think regardless of whether it’s popular or not.

[@killz954]

He’s already one away from being halfway to 7. 3 in 6 yrs starting

[@paythecreator4317]

All 3 super bowl wins were as a result of Patrick Mahomes coming back from at least a 10 point margin. His coach likes to play if safe, keep it close and rely on Mahomes to pull every game out on the final drive. He should try to turn the offense over to Mahomes early putting him in the no huddle to allow him to call most of his own plays on the fly and get into a better rhythm. That game plan would result in Chief blow outs, not nail biter final drive wins.

[@JHKCF]

Love the Pink Floyd “Meddle” album cover in the background !

[@JetForceFive]

I know that there is an annual argument about who is as good as Mahomes in the NFL, but heres the scoreboard right now: (Since 2018) SUPERBOWL TITLES: Mahomes (3), Brady (2), Stafford (1) SUPERBOWLS: Mahomes (4), Brady (2), 6 tied with 1. SUPERBOWL MVP: Mahomes (3), 3 tied with 1. NFL MVP: Mahomes (2), Jackson (2), Rodgers (2) DIVISION TITLES: Mahomes (6), Allen (3), Rodgers (3), Brady (3) Mahomes is literally lapping the field since he came into the league. He's had so much more success than his contemporaries in his era, that hes being compared to CAREER stats of guys that have played 15-20-25 years. Its really wild.

[@yasarunchained1157]

I appreciate Chris using pause

[@innoventions9465]

Patrick 'Mr. Magic' Mahomes!¡!

[@jimmyraidjames]

Brady had help with the infamous ' Tuck rule ' & Pete carroll of seattle gave him another by not using Beastmode at the 1 yard line.

[@lovemyskyes2885]

Plus he cheated -- more than once.

[@tacotom3492]

Heres the truth .. if you watcued the Dolphins @ Chiefs, you saw butt naked open WR TE . you saw a different type of team.. then they went to Buff .. Baltimore . They just were hot and made plays. Writing was on the wall for weeks and i still hedged my bet taking 9ers ML game day 😂😂😂

[@pippip9927]

Never bet against Mahomes.

[@kyleharrison713]

This is my first time watching this channel and it seems like Chris is too intense. Kyle having a good fun time lol. Gotta relax Chris.

[@harrymills2770]

Yeah. Mahomes caught 'em comin' and goin'. Charging the line of scrimmage and flipping the ball behind the linebackers, when they reacted to the scramble threat. Then, once he had 'em worried about that, he took his opportunities to scramble. It was like he conditioned them to the ball coming out at the last moment before he crossed the line, so as he charged the line on his longest scramble, Warner was expecting the throw and had to think "coverage" and that's when Mahomes got him. It's just amazing at how much "fail" went into setting up KC's biggest plays in the biggest moments, late in the game. Imagine holding Corn Dog with Mustard and Ketchup back until what turned out to be the last play of the last game, in overtime. Same for that 52-yarder to Mecole, which everyone knows is a bad bet, but refraining from it all that time, just to set up the shot play. Yeah, it "should" have been an INT, but #31 was conditioned to Mahomes taking Kelce, underneath, and HE got wide open. #31 was so worried about that, he didn't look for the shot over his head until it was too late, and then he couldn't find it because it was above his line of sight, when he got his eye discipline back.

[@olympiajj]

Greatest superbowl run in history! Goat mahomes!

[@TekDristan]

I was texting my buddy at halftime to let him know the game was over and KC was gonna win. He had my $20 ready on Monday.

[@hh-jy1ld]

I would say Brady’s superpower is motivating/working extra w his receivers to get on the same page + processing power under pressure. Mahome’s superpower is of course off script ability + incredible off platform arm talent. If Mahomes works even more training w his receivers and works more on his throwing mechanics for when he gets older and continues to consume game film… he should be very close to 7 rings once it’s all said and done.

[@evancross]

Mahomes does a ton of work with his Receivers in the off szn?

[@truthbearer7891]

Mahomes super power is he has Andy Reid and Kelce. "Mahomes had an 89 QBR on plays that featured motion compared to a 29 QBR of plays without motion" The real best QB in the NFL is a guy who does offscript plays at a level higher than Mahomes. A guy who can make plays beyond the Xs and Os that make Mahomes look pedestrian by comparison in Lamar. The only thing that has stood in his way is historically incompetent coaching where his team abandons their identity completely in playoff games compared to the Chiefs who stick to their gampelan and even commitment to running the football when trailing by 10 points. All that will change within 1-2 years because of rising scrutiny on Ravens coaches for this trend. They do it 1-2 more times and they will be fired and the MVP version of Lamar in the regular season will all of a sudden appear in the playoffs showing that Lamar has not only a true rival but one who is physically more gifted than him. One who when he loses a step 7-8 years from now it will be far better at still making off script plays than Mahomes when he loses a step because it's a much higher starting point going from 4.3/4.4 speed to 4.5 than a guy who is going to go go from 4.7/4.8 to 4.9.

[@tuberguy]

Did Chiefs set an NFL record for least time with a lead to win a Super Bowl, 6:06 out of 75 minutes? I think so…8% of total time with the lead. 49ers leading or tied 92%.

[@AFRO2125]

Drafting a kicker in the 3rd round is not smart. we got Lajarious Sneed in the 4th. Purdy was the last pick. The best kicker in the league this year was Harrison Butker, perfect 7-7 beyond 50 and perfect in extra points, only missed 2 kicks out of 47 and he snagged him from a practice roster. hahahahahaha

[@vietnameeseguy]

Brady would be able to do it with his Bucs team who won the SB…Brady beat Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes. This Chiefs team had a very family trajectory like that Bucs team.

Oh no, Chris-according to Skip Baseless, Tom Brady would have beaten that team by 14 😂
