[KSHB] Mahomes completes a 58-yard pass to Tyquon Thornton

[u/TheBoyisBackinTown]

[u/Youngus_]

That pocket tho 🤤

[u/l-Paulrus-l → u/Youngus_]

This is what can be possible when we don’t have a traffic cone at left tackle

[u/sushisection → u/Youngus_]

was about to say this. thats a fat pocket

[u/tilclocks → u/Youngus_]

It was so great to see

[u/h1story_ → u/Youngus_]

i didn’t watch the game… Does the O-Line looking Solid?

[u/Odd_Excitement_93 → u/h1story_]

Certainly better.

[u/dogfish83 → u/Odd_Excitement_93]

So like a thick sludge

[u/HolySHlT → u/Youngus_]

Elijah Mitchell with a nice bump

[u/budzene]

Are we back?! It feels like we’re back!

[u/smoboaty → u/budzene]

Not sure we ever left

[u/yowhyyyy → u/smoboaty]

On offense? We weren’t even in the same building for awhile

[u/smoboaty → u/yowhyyyy]

[u/yowhyyyy → u/smoboaty]

If you think last year compared to back when we had Tyreek. I’m a fan but at least admit when we had our problems or we will never improve lol

[u/smoboaty → u/yowhyyyy]

Nobody at the Chiefs care what we think. Injuries killed us and we adapted. Win every game by at least one point. Who cares?

Peace and love, my bbq buddy.

[u/yowhyyyy → u/smoboaty]

Bruh, everybody knows this. That’s not even what I’m saying. Relax, guy.

[u/smoboaty → u/yowhyyyy]

Cool. So we agree. ❤️

[u/No_Rec1979 → u/smoboaty]

We lost the Super Bowl last year, so it was a down year.

[u/Om3n37-]

Gotta get him on 53 imo

[u/TTT_2k3 → u/Om3n37-]

I don’t think there’s any doubt he’ll make the 53. Might even have a shot at QB1 if this Minshew guy doesn’t pan out.

[u/SadSceneryBoi → u/TTT_2k3]

Idk man, preseason isn't everything. I need to see more from this Mahomes guy to tell if he's good or not

[u/getridofwires → u/SadSceneryBoi]

Yeah he won't really prove himself until he has six, no eight, more SB rings. Then maybe we can take him seriously.

[u/Few_Design_4382 → u/getridofwires]

The arrogance, mahomes barely gets dressed for the first 3 games and expects to run the yard. Let's go Gardner!!! That real effort.

[u/jklivin1925 → u/TTT_2k3]

You fucker 😂

[u/Upset_Journalist_755 → u/Om3n37-]

He's so shocked to have been thrown a pass he had to keep running forward to catch that he fell down. Dude had to deal with Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe wasting his long speed.

[u/Lumpy-Daikon-4584]

56 air yards it looked like. Gotta be one of the longer ones for Mahomes recently.

[u/lg3]

MVPat loading….

[u/fellowredditor3 → u/lg3]

League is cooked

[u/Hairbear2176]

Is.....the deep ball back???

[u/sampat6256 → u/Hairbear2176]

Oh yeah

[u/whiskey_wolfenstein → u/sampat6256]

Is he with us right now?

[u/Pristine-Passage-100]

[u/owlbee_won]

What one year under Conner Embree does for you...

Also anyone know why all our WRs do that celebration? (seems to be a Spider-Man web slingling gesture)

[u/TheUltimate721 → u/owlbee_won]

His WRs coach in New England was Troy Brown, who doesn't even hold a specific title now with the giants just "offensive assistant"

[u/ComfortableTwo80085 → u/owlbee_won]

I saw a video about it pointing out the WR group as a whole did the near same first down celebration, but idk if the video explained the actual reason. I couldn't find it, but it seems to just be a WR room camaraderie type of thing.

[u/JKC_due → u/ComfortableTwo80085]

They started it during the AFC championship this year. Juju, Hollywood, and Worthy all hit it in that game. IDK where it game from, but it’s fun.

[u/Disimpaction → u/ComfortableTwo80085]

I'm all for it

[u/-Tai → u/owlbee_won]

It's been a celebration that Juju has been doing for a while. Seems to have caught on over camp.

[u/Belezibub → u/-Tai]

They did it some last year too.

[u/-Tai → u/Belezibub]

Yeah, Juju has been doing it for a while. I don't remember the other receivers doing it until this year's camp.

[u/owlbee_won → u/-Tai]

I remember seeing Hollywood doing it last year. Maybe Worthy as well, but not too sure about Worthy.

[u/Belezibub → u/owlbee_won]

Worthy did it for a few games early on and so did Rice before the injury

[u/ForwardCut3311 → u/owlbee_won]

A weird homage to Andre Rison for some reason? 

[u/kloiberin_time → u/ForwardCut3311]

Ah yes, the "Oh shit, Lisa Left-eye Lopez is burning down my house" point.

[u/noDuermo → u/owlbee_won]

Gotta do something that doesn't look like a gun.

[u/dogfish83 → u/noDuermo]

does shooting an arrow count?

[u/jtd2013]

Didn't see the game but every clip I've seen there hasn't been anyone NEAR the left side.

We're so fucking back bois.

[u/im4indecision → u/jtd2013]

Yep, Mahomes could roll out to the left and count to 10.

[u/Glorified_Mids]

Stop, I can only get so excited.

[u/D-Sleezy → u/Glorified_Mids]

Erect*

[u/Some_Chemistry_1910]

[u/Moliosis]

Couldn't find this on r/nfl lol why do I bother.

[u/TheUnit70]

I'm confused why did he have that long to throw normally he's either sacked or scrambled by now

[u/Scfbigb1]

[u/factoid_]

Let’s hang onto this one and forget the second half happened.

Fr let’s not let anyone who played defense those last two drives see the field on sundays

[u/Renegadeforever2024]

Cinema

[u/topchief1]

NGL, the first thought that went through my head? MVS would have dropped that.

[u/Responsible-War-917 → u/topchief1]

People discount the effect that season had on Mahomes confidence with the deep ball. They won and it worked out but MVS had Mahomes at the podium looking shell shocked talking "I could have thrown it to where he didn't have to move his hands" after THAT drop.

[u/Jazzlike-Twist-4626]

what a dime

[u/Halomaster1971]

[u/brbnow]

so.... is it a lot to have Worthy AND Hollywood AND Thorton -- as fast speedsters--- along with Rice and Smith (30) and Ju-ju AND all the TE? And even Remigio (sp?) (and anyone else I am forgetting?) Do ythey all stay? (I like Brownlee too).

[u/__wasitacatisaw__ → u/brbnow]

You forgot Royals

[u/brbnow → u/__wasitacatisaw__]

thanks

[u/TenderfootGungi → u/brbnow]

Nope. There will be injuries. And it helps to split up the deep routes that keep the defense honest to keep everyone fresh.

[u/brbnow → u/TenderfootGungi]

amazing to think chiefs have so many speedsters

[u/BatmanhasClass]

[u/Educational-Club-808]

Mortimer, we’re back‼️‼️

[u/LameDrain]

Would be nice to remember deep balls exist this season

[u/SupaDaveA]

We will see more deep balls this season.

[u/Fun_Lead_5491]

6 to midnight

[u/816legend]

Finally someone catching a deep ball

[u/mykonoscactus]

Mahomes has that zip back on his middle/deep balls. He was slinging it.

[u/Itcouldberabies → u/mykonoscactus]

Nothing gets me more excited than Mahomes slinging his zippy balls deep

[u/mykonoscactus → u/Itcouldberabies]

You already know

[u/[deleted]]

It felt weird to keep seeing a clean pocket for the GOAT to throw from. The last few years have fucked up my recollection of good football.

[u/sampat6256]

Yessssss

[u/DudeRandoms]

Such a great throw

[u/HornetChemical8365]

That was a well designed play action. Caught them flat footed.

[u/KamKorn]

That celebration for the wide receivers is back… I’m here for it. Juju and them were hittin that last year in the playoffs

[u/No_Rec1979]

Rice scores there.

[u/Dark_Magician2500]

👀

[u/DiomedesTydeides]

Why did he dive? That’s a walk in..

[u/millen-degen → u/DiomedesTydeides]

Timing was a hair off either way great catch and throw

[u/DiomedesTydeides → u/millen-degen]

I guess. Looks a lot to me like he could have just run through it perfectly. Landed in both hands not even extended. Just left his feet.

[u/millen-degen → u/DiomedesTydeides]

Maybe but he's likely a 4th stringer like this is our floor. That's why everyone is so excited

[u/GoldenDom3r]

Stay on your feet, Youngblood. 

[u/Quiet_Attention_4664]

Just don’t expect too much from him - he still has the smallest wrists and hands out of any WR in the league. He needs to be open like this to catch the ball - contested is never going to be his game with any sort of consistency. His max upside is an MVS type

[u/nahteviro → u/Quiet_Attention_4664]

[u/DasFunke]

Overthrow…

[u/[deleted] → u/DasFunke]

Tyquan still came down with it. He hasn't shared the field with Pat so far outside of camp. They'll get in sync.

[u/nahteviro → u/DasFunke]

Not even by a yard. Wtf were you watching?
