Patrick Mahomes: “We trust in him. He’s a competitor.” | Week 13 Press Conference

The hole team did

Kielce, the offensive and defensive lines, Justin Reid all screwed it up.

@Nick Patrick *whole

The coaches never do that. This is just like the two matchups last year. This defense needs a complete overhaul, the entire secondary except McDuffie should not be on this team next year, and Karlaftis is looking like a flat out bust. They NEED to sign an elite pass rusher, Jones can’t do it by himself

@lakeozarkrei3767  you’re making chiefs fans look bad, man. Just ignore him.

You said Mahomes is the best qb in football which is true. You didn’t say all time, which could be a debate. Move along now, yeah?

@southsider 35  6 Rookies starting on defense… and our defensive DVOA ranks are better then last year. Dam glad your not the Chiefs coach… they’d be 3-14 this year with your knowledge.

@z_mehrtens31 no kc rams would say this bullshit

@Dave Gave it’s gonna be a Bills Eagles super bwol

I like our defense but they still need work.

@Mark Hathaway what’s their to like😳.

Chiefs defense is truly young. It’s growing

Next season I only want to see them draft D players, no more rooks in the D back field, teams only win because they give up so many yards downfield!!

We have like 6-7 integral pieces on our defense who are rookies and they still look decent on a weekly basis.

They will only get better as time goes on. McDuffie looked tremendous against 2 of the most physically gifted receivers in the league.

All chief’s lost come down to bad turnovers, poor special teams, and no pressure on qb

@Dorian Gonzalez I would congratulate the winner. And do what is necessary to win the next time. Such as be more aggressive on both sides of the ball. Take more chances especially early. Pay more attention to holding on to the ball. And making a greater effort to strip the ball from the other team. And demanding for Patrick Mahomes to run the ball at least 8-12 times, if necessary, depending on how the game is playing out. My players would want to win as much or more than the opponent. And that would be evident. In conclusion, I would accept the loss, but never feel defeated. But I can respect how you would respond to the loss because that is your reaction to it.

@Dorian Gonzalez The life lesson is It is not what happens to you but what you do about it. And how you let it effect you. I learned from observing closely and or up close. The great ones like Ali, Kobe, Mayweather, and Joe Montanna, that a little talent, the right attitude, commitment, and a burning desire, is everything it takes to be great. Why settle for less?

And I’m pretty confident that the Chiefs are learning from the past and making the right adjustments and additions to get the results they are reaching for. So my attitude about their progress is great.

@Scottie B The secondary won’t get better unless the pass rush does. Deon Sanders and Mel Blount wouldn’t be able to guard every stud receiver if their Qb has 5 or so seconds. This loss was on the coaches more than the players. Because the players were doing their part. But their part wasn’t effective. Time to make an adjustment. So on defense they needed to bring better disguised blitzes and or blitz more often. And on offense Patrick Mahomes should be mandated to run more than 2 times per game. Burrow gave Mahomes a lesson in courage and determination by running 11 times for 46 yards. Mahomes has to make the transition from a boy to a man at some point.

And the coaches can help Mahomes make the transition by not playing so scary with him. He got a concussion going “head first” into a stacked defensive line on a 4th and 1 a couple years ago. The response to that should have been “don’t try to go head first” into a stacked up pile of players. Not forever be afraid to let him punish a defense by using his legs. The difference is if he’s scared tell him to keep sliding “legs first” to avoid contact. But don’t take the option for him to run completely out of the game plan. Especially in the post season. Because he’s leaving a few 20 and 30 yard game changing runs in his tool bag. And making the opponents game day and game plan far easier than it should be.

No he hasn’t. But it was a non-factor. Choosing to attempt the FG was the problem. Not the miss.

Even if he makes it? Then what? Tie game with 3+ minutes left vs. a QB our defense can’t stop when it matters most.

The worst case (likely) scenario if Butker makes the kick is Burrow milks the clock & gets them to (Once again) kick a walk off FG vs. Chiefs.

The best case scenario is that the defense would have been so bad they would have let them score quickly & get the ball back.

Ultimately a lose-lose situation.

Josh Allen and the Bills can’t beat KC when it “counts”. Until they do? That is fact.

Mahomes & Chiefs can’t beat Burrow/Bengals at all. Until they do? That is fact.

@Nathan Scott Here is the problem plan and simple. Take all three of the last three biggest losses. In order Bucs Super bowl Mahomes runs 5 times for 33 yards. AFC championship last season Mahomes runs 3 times for 19 yards.Today Mahomes runs 2 times for 9 yards.That is ten runs in 3 games. Joe Burrow ran 11 times today for 46 yards. That is just 1 game and he ran more times than Mahomes has in 3 games. The Niner’s back up QB Pardy ran 4 times today which is twice as much as Mahomes did. The more runs he has increases the odds one will be for 20 or 30 yards. And several of them will pick up critical 1st downs while chewing clock and resting the defense.

No matter what, they still give up plays in the big moments.

KC doesnt lack talent on D. They lack mettle. When the chips are down they fold like superman on laundry day.

Attempting the FG was a mistake. Even if butker makes it, KCs squishy D was going to let them go right down the field anyway. They never get the big late game stop. Even against the freaking colts.

@White Whale Yeah, if Mahomes doesn’t get ball last in a close game, you can count on the Chiefs losing that game. Defense NEVER steps it up when it matters this year except for a fluke against the Raiders where Adams and Renfroe ran into each other. You can’t win championships that way. I can’t see this team getting it done this postseason. The Home AFC Championships streak is likely over

@Corey and you’re commenting why???

@Celtic DW because I can and did

@Corey you can’t wait for the downfall but it’s not coming anytime soon, hate on a teams press conference shows how badly you want to see the chiefs lose, keep waiting.

PM needs to use chameleon 👀 and be more aware of peripheral attacks. D linemen are just too dang fast now

@InnerTubes nd mahomes is not really that elusive either

But Joey cool keeps besting us. I’m not going to take the win away from y’all but that s*** just be looking fishy to me but Kelsey did fumble the ball though

@Rye_Station you got 2 of the best young QBs in the league, sometimes teams don’t match up well. We both left point on the board . I think it’s a situation like us vs Cleveland, obviously we are a much better team then Cleveland but we can’t seem to beat them. We will see what happens facing Cleveland again. People underestimate Cincinnati though. I’m curious to see how we do against Josh Allen and the Bills.

Bad penalties everytime. I can’t blame the refs so I’m blaming the team. STOP GETTING P.I. !

@Jeff R for sure
