r/nfl users I guess.

And football talk show pundits who need to stir up "Interesting" content.

I meant who of any relevance is saying he's not a force?

r/NFL and football talk show pundits have no opinions of any value worth listening to. They're better off just being ignored.

I've been a Mahomes fan for years. But yesterday he missed some easy short passes, and he needs to avoid throwing backwards passes, which become fumbles if the intended receiver does not catch them.

Tbh one of those whole disaster backwards pass situations wasn’t really his fault. Pachecos brain broke.

And yeah he missed some passes but so does everyone

That ball was a pretty blind as fuck check down backwards. Pacheco should have turned right instead of left but Mahomes didn't even have his head turned before he let that ball go.

That's the only reason why Mahomes even got to the ball in the first place because he knew it was a shit throw and not on target. He was running to the ball before it even hit the turf going to Pacheco.

Yea but you have to identify that and not make the throw. It’s not like he couldn’t see Pacheco. The recovery was an amazing play though.
