Chiefs

Barry Sanders, second place.

@approxinfinity and he acknowledges Alex smith for all his help! God bless him!
-
That game tying drive with the insane pass to Hill maybe have just moved him to the favorite for MVP. The Chiefs still worry me with there play, enough that I can see them losing in the playoffs once again.
-
@kjayhawks insane!

Watch this throw! My goodness
-
@Woodrow So good. He is able to throw a football like point guards can throw a basketball (no look) and shortstops can throw a baseball (cross body, midair, with body spinning opposite direction). Heās in a class by himself, revolutionary.

From CBSSports.com, by Jason La Canfora:
Patrick Mahomes is the NFLās most valuable player.
Mahomes was, to me, more impressive than ever on Sunday. This wasnāt going to be a week where the Chiefs came out and scored on five straight drives to open the game. They werenāt going to always be playing with the lead. They were going against the leagueās best defense and Baltimore did, in fact, shut down and beat up the opposing quarterback for a good portion of this game. It was a day in which the Chiefs offense would go large portions of the day without the football as the Ravensā RPO ground attack rolled up another 198 yards of rushing.
It was going to be a day where the Chiefs would have to win ugly and overcome their defense in order to clinch a playoff spot, avoid the Chargers nipping at them in the AFC West standings and take full advantage of an afternoon when the Texans and Patriots lost games they were favored to win. And make no mistake, with Kareem Hunt released a week ago, Sammy Watkins hurt agai, Tyreek Hill limping around, Spencer Ware needing medical attention and Kansas Cityās offensive line bullied by Baltimoreās pass rush, it was Mahomes who made it all happen in a wild, 27-24 overtime win.
He completed a ridiculous no-look pass to key a monster drive. He kept another play alive forever under duress before firing across his body for 50 yards to Hill to set up the game-tying score in the dying minutes. Thatās all. He only made about a half dozen throws that no one else completes right now, and probably only Aaron Rodgers would even try. If Mahomes was a half-step slower, just a smidge less brilliant in his ability to see the field and diagnose defenses mentally, with an arm that was just a touch less strong or a bit more inaccurate, the Chiefs lose this game and are staring at an uncomfortable crossroads.
Instead, because of the 23-year old passer, Andy Reid was left speechless and flabbergasted on the sidelines at the insane plays Mahomes made, repeatedly, as he rolls toward his 50th touchdown pass of the season. Instead, he made the Ravens contemplate their own mortality for the season, as he threw for 377 yards (topping 4,000 for the season) and two more touchdowns (heās up to 43, now) against the unit that came into this game allowing the worst passer rating in the NFL.
Mahomes looked at an array of blitzes the likes of which he had never before seen and was rarely gifted a clean pocket or much time to operate, but he gutted through it, stayed composed and released his gunslinger to capture the victory. It felt like a playoff game, and it was Mahomesā toughest task yet given the injuries and lack of so many impact players. No first-time starter has looked like this since Dan Marino, and it should be reflected in the postseason hardware.

When La Canfora is writing this, you can lock it up.

As a Chiefs fan, Mahomes is payback for watching other teams do that to our D for years.
-
Da Bears!

Hopefully, continuing Thursday by going 2 for 2 this year in the āRevenge on Riversā campaign!

Mahomes is ridiculous.
Mahomes makes me feel like Broncos fans must have felt with Elway, or how 49ers fans felt with Montana - all we need is to have the ball and be within a score, and he will find a way to get it done. I wasnāt even panicking on either 4th down on that game tying drive. If thatās literally any Chiefs QB over the last 30 years, that game is lost because they take a sack, or throw a pick, or somehow screw things up. Mahomes just kept making plays.
And the crazy thing is, he wasnāt even āonā.
-
Come on chiefs! Canāt have 2 bad nights!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I canāt watch, which bodes well for the Chiefs - Iāve only watched 3 games this year. Yes, those three. Do the Chiefs look bad or does Seattleās D look good?
-
This Chiefs team is trash. First round playoff exit.

Mahomes started poorly, likely too jacked. Then things appeared to be going well and Williams fumbled it gifting Seattle a score.

@BShark thx crims
-
Can we screw up many more times?
-
What a pass, did u c him look at his hand?
-
Nelson, thinking yelling at a receiver is enough to cover him.
-
Oh man! Our D!

lol
-
I donāt smoke, after these last 2 games though?
I donāt drink either,
-
D was bad tonight but I blame the offense more. Too many drives of 3 plays or less.
-
Sweet catch
-
I love him
-
Every athlete needs guts and heart like him. Leadership skills too!
-
@mayjay you staying home for Christmas?
-
@BShark you?
-
The chiefs may have the worst secondary in NFL history. They are pissing away a great offense this year.
-
Wilson and his receivers arenāt to shabby either. Those penalties! Sucks, is that red head guy new?
-
Flag!
-
No hold there?
-
Every single player in the KC secondary should he fired the first Monday after the season.

Yea fuller is hurt.
-
He had surgery right? Might be back though?
-
@BShark tell me, they looked good on us, one handed catch!
-
Did Berry play the full game?
Fuller had no stats, did he play at all?
-
@dylans Berry was out on the last Seattle drive.
Fuller did not dress and was inactive.
-
@dylans didnāt he have surgery on his wrist?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Home for Christmas. Wife retires end of March, then cruise to celebrate!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, but they acted like he may play anyway.
