It was something of nothing anyway, just an observation. Heās at the bottom of the list for reasons why they lostā¦ But he was deffo rattled from the offā¦ I think the early throws to Hardman were on Mahomes, not Hardmanā¦
Hill held to 5/6 yards, thatās phenomenal. That Buccs D are all very young, they could be around for a couple more years yet.
Laurent Duvernay Tardif taking the year off to work as a doctor in Canada caught up with the chiefs line last night. You could say they were victims of covid.
The hit on Mahomes that Piere Paul was flagged for could have easily been a Joe Burrow type injury. He was very lucky his foot wasnāt planted as his whole leg got trapped under him. Thats the risk you run when you pay all that money to a QB that tries to extend plays with their feet. You only have to be unlucky once in 1,000 offensive snaps a season.
Was the hunger there to the same level this year? They seemed to just do enough in most games and most people were saying they had more gears to go up if challengedā¦ Hunger is a huge thing when it comes to a battle.
I think hubris was a bigger issue than hunger. They just assumed that when push came to shove they would torch that buccs secondary. But it was always gonna be a tight affair. Just shows how line play is everything in the game. Trumps even having tyreek hill.
I actually thought JPP was very unlucky on that call. Mahomes got absolutely creamed, but JPP was clearly trying to strip the ball as Mahomes threw and didnt really hit him or go through him, but the pressure from in front of Mahomes pushed him back forcing him to be caught by one player hitting him high and JPP falling down and making him buckle under his tackle. JPP certainly wasnt going out to hit Mahomes under the knee.
Odd, the Chiefs last year were one of those 8 teams with that record. Itās almost like they have a problem with getting flags. The biggest flag that hurt them was the offside call on the FG attempt. Again, that was utterly dumb football lining up in an arc on the edge.
