Beau needs to check the tape on that Mahomes run. He didn't fake going out of bounds, he slowed up so Kareem Hunt could catch up and make a block to spring him.
Very lazy take regarding the Mahomes scramble. Watch the tape. 49ers were either getting blocked, overpursuing, or easing up on the play. Is Mahomes supposed to just run out of bounds when there’s a giant hole in front of him? Give me a break.
This is all because of Kareem Hunt. They wouldn't stay with the run if it was a committee. Kareem is so damn good and Coach knows he can trust him to find the hole and fall forward and just keep at it all game. This is the first time since Hunt was last with KC that they don't have to 'gimmick' up plays for 3rd and 4th and short.
The misdirection on the Mahomes scramble was brilliant. The pump fake past the line of scrimmage, the fake lateral followed by the off speed. Aaron Judge would have wiffed on that too. If hitting the brakes so he flies right by works for Maverick, it will work for Mahomes.
This shit on the Mahomes run is pissing me off. He didn’t not hit him because of the flag, he fuccing over pursued and pat stopped to let him fly by. WATCH THE ALL 22 YOU PINECONES.
As a Chiefs fan, I'm totally ok with them winning ugly. We will get better as the season goes on, and what should terrify the rest of the league is that the hardest part of our schedule is mostly over now. With the D-Hop trade and some of our injuries coming back, we will only get better
Only downside is there isn't gonna be injury help coming back. Except Omenihu on the DL, I'm not counting on any of them to be back. Juju hopefully is available off an on. Rice, Hollywood, won't be back this season, Pacheco himself is being hopeful but I have serious doubts he makes it before playoffs.
@@jeradlarkey390 Pacheco will be back in December, Brown is unclear but has a chance for a Jan return, Rice is gone until next year. JuJu is week to week, I could see him missing the next 2-3 weeks, but adding Dhop might allow JuJu to heal up and Worthy to keep growing into the Off.
@@jeradlarkey390JuJu will be back. Hollywood is a possibility considering there's been some positive reports concerning him and if he wants another contract he will do his best to get back. Pop will be back and Hunt can help ease him back anyway it hasn't been dire at RB. Omenihu is back a big piece as well. Rice is a big missing piece any way you slice it but with a potentially healthy Hopkins Kelce Worthy Hollywood JuJu and the bit players like Watson Hardman and Gray I feel pretty freaking good about the Chief's pass catchers. They won a SB with a rookie second-rounder being WR1 ya know? Looks A LOT better than that room no?
And that's really what's holding the Chiefs back right now. They aren't as terrible as people who don't actually watch think. It's finishing drives and some silly turnovers but they move the ball decently. Not too five but middle of the pack and that can only improve with another HOF pass-catcher.
WHO EXACTLY DIDN'T HIT HIM WHEN THEY COULD'VE?????? ANSWER: NOBODY The only guy close overpursued then missed coming back to field 😅 BS narratives rule the football world
DHop will help move the chains. He’s no longer elite but the Chiefs don’t need elite WR’s. The Chiefs are winning with the run game & defense. Once Mahomes gets the offense rolling on the same page. It will be another Super Bowl run like last year.
I think ya gotta put Reid's playcalling history in some context. Those years in Philly, the NFC East had some gobsmacking offensive and defensive lines. I remember thinking how soft Philly looked, playing in that division. Then Reid would come to KC and they would DOMINATE the Chiefs in the trenches and win pulling away. You don't remember 2014. That was the last year of the best of Pioli's O-Line picks plus Branden Albert plus the young Eric Fisher. That was the year that Jamaal Charles developed a new identity, running the ball up the gut. He also blew up his Achilles that year (due to taking too many hits, imho). Anyway, that O-Line went away. Albert went to Florida. Hudson went to the Raiders. Jeff Allen got hurt trying to play OT in there, somewhere. Asamoah didn't stick around for long, either. But that one year. 2014. Look at the run/pass mix they had. Very much a running team under Reid that year. Andy has always wanted to run the ball, and he does, when he thinks he CAN. He just doesn't often have the horses to be that kind of team. Since Mahomes, he really hasn't had the horses, but he still stuck with the run, despite poor success, like the 2008 Cardinals under Todd Haley as OC. They eventually started averaging close to 4 ypc, but the purpose was to give Warner a good play fake. Without that determination to keep running the ball, defenses pin their ears back and play pass defense. I think the fact that they're getting decent production out of bigger, no-name running backs, this year, says they're getting quite a bit right, up front. Everyone talks about the interior 3, but the two young guys fighting for LT and Jawaan Taylor at RT are starting to assert themselves in the running game. Did you see Taylor reach-block on Nick Bosa, when they ran outside zone against SF? Keep an eye on the Morris/Suamataia drama unfolding at left tackle. I expected Morris to hold on to that spot until midseason or beyond, based on what I saw last year and his being a year older in the league and the system. But Suamataia definitely made a fight out of it, until youth and inexperience (and premiere pass-rushers) caught up with him. Reid has always been an offensive-line guy. He's always had a great eye for talent. What he didn't have in Philly, was a scouting department and front office like the one in KC. There's only so much one man with a good eye for talent can do. There's only so much film he can watch. There're only so many games he can attend, in-person. Basically, when Reid was HC/GM in Philly, he didn't have as comprehensive a view of the available talent as he has, now. He reached for some OTs in his time in Philly who didn't pan out. Always picking outside the Top 15 in the draft, Reid did what a lot GMs of that time did: Best Player Available at Position of Need, and they'd draft for (immediate) need. KC hasn't reached in the 1st for an OT since Eric Fisher, and even that was a reach. But look at their current strategy, where they drafted Morris in the 3rd and Suamataia in the 2nd. Both have the physical tools, but neither was quite NFL-ready coming out of college. They're stocking-up on those 2nd- and 3rd-rounders up front, like Vermeil did in St. Louis. That's how you get slowly better and maintain that O-Line, especially nowadays, with the prices on O-Linemen.
Dude... the fact that you even REMEMBER all of that in every detail is uncanny... you should plaster this kinda thing (especially the Andy Reid not being what he is now statement) EVERYWHERE for ppl to see, including the haters and even some fans, with their recency bias for Coach Reid cause they're all scared to give Mahomes all the props that he deserves
Both of Mahomes picks were not on him, one was a lineman tipped ball, the other Worthy fell down. Most of Mahomes picks this year are like that. Had a pick in the Endzone last week where it was right in JuJu's hands and he batted it up in the air.
Exactly 💯... Idk why they keep bringing that up like the man lost his step or something... the guy's down not one bt TWO of his best weapons, and they've all created a bond with each other going into the season.. and for him to lose that.. OFC, it's gonna throw you off a little. Cause now, it forces you to adapt, and you're not getting what you've already grown accustomed to during the offseason
Karlaftis has 20.5 sacks in his first two seasons and his motor and ability to set the edge have significantly contributed to the Chiefs having the best defense in the league over that span. The backhanded compliments about him in this and the post-game reaction video are strange to say the least.
Easy tiger.. no one's backhanded anything... Chris is the first person I heard to point out that spectacular spin play... I didn't see many Chiefs channels point that out.. bt he's right.. he's not a terrific rusher like Cold Jones.. bt he's crafty, and that's just one of his great strengths
@@DwainWilsonJr Jones is a hall of famer and the best player at his position in the league, no one is comparing Karlaftis to him. Your assessment of him as not a terrific rusher does not matter. His 20.5 career sacks in his first two seasons and role in the best defense in the league speak for themselves.
Never ever was Phillip river compared or mentioned in the same breath as Brady why are we talking abt Josh Allen like he did something he doing the same thing rivers did😂
"Defenders are afraid to hit QBs on the sideline" is such a weak ass argument in this particular play. Mahomes has been trucked on the sideline multiple times in the last couple years. He has also ball faked guys in the middle of the field and made them look worse than 53. 53 took a bad angle and got chipped. He was never within an arm's reach of Mahomes. And 90 and 91 were straight loafing. They got their asses kicked the previous play and thought "the LBs got this or he'll run out of bounds" and they loafed. Now, had Mahomes started to gear down and head straight for the sideline, then suddenly once he was a step away from going out of bounds, accelerated upfield; that would be an entirely different thing and I would agree that he abused defenders thinking he was going out of bounds. This play, was flat out poor defense.
There has never been a play where Mahomes has been hit legally and a defender has been flagged for it. It hasn’t happened once. People are citing the Bengals play in the AFCCG two years ago when Mahomes was two steps out of bounds when he got shoved. You are coping for him making defenders look silly and embarrassing yourselves.
Nick Bosa or Chris Jones TJ Watt or Chris Jones Miles Garret or Chris Jones Any Cowboys player or Chris Jones Any Raiders player or Chris Jones Etc. Etc. Etc.
The scramble was bullshit. Defenders are scared to touch these QBs. All the players stopped playing. Like Chris said the TD run where he plowed Mustapha was much better
@@gorendz Bro, even the man upstairs went NUTS over that play.. and if that is impressive to the GOAT... why shouldn't it be for the rest of us.. lol
The Chiefs also get plenty of help from faulty officiating, especially in the late rounds of the playoffs and the Superbowl. We've seen it time and time again. Fact
Calls don't decide games by themselves. What else did the other team fuck up to lead to the Chiefs beating them? The Chiefs simply make better adjustments and less mistakes.
