Einstein Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Before becoming Mahomes again and leading his team to the AFC Championship game. Mahomes had a 5 game stretch in the middle of the season where these were his performances: 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble 1 TD, 1 INT 1 TD, 0 INT 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble The point? Even the great ones can slump. Play poorly. Lose their mojo. Forget how to read the field. I am far more concerned about the coaching, as some of these coaching mistakes have been happening since day 1 of McDermott’s tenure. But Josh will get better. He will overcome. He will become great again. Mahomes slumped and he came back. So will Allen. Go Bills. 11 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78thealltimegreat Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Mahomes lost to the Colts and went to overtime with a Malik Willis titans team.

MPT Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Well you left out the 5TD game he had in the middle of that span and the Chiefs won 4 out of 5 of the games you did mention. This isn't all about Allen though. He's not playing well, but these losses are a complete team effort. No one else, including the coaching staff, is going to step up and win us a game when Allen doesn't play well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnycage46 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Mahomes gets the benefit of the doubt (which he has earned) because he has been absolutely stellar since he stepped in as a full time starter. His career has been historic thus far into a career. While the Chiefs slipped mid-season last year, they have superb coaching and a generation QB at the helm...they were always going to figure it out. Not so sure with this staff and QB. I think Allen will have a fine/great career but he'll never be anywhere near where Mahomes is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes LY in slump: struggled to take the checkdown/forced alot in redzone. Sound familiar? Difference is Mahomes has Andy Reid, I'm hopeful that Dorsey/Allen can get this figured out. Not as simple as "take the checkdown" every play, it's a fine lime of being aggressive and being smart/efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yet another mind numbing ridiculous loss to put in the bumbling Bills - find ways to piss away games - HOF. They simply refused to win. They just do not have the DNA to put teams away. Nobody gets a pass here. They just refused to win at every opportunity. After the fiasco, I just put my mind at ease and dropped the "best team in the league" and "Super Bowl favorites" narrative. Instead I hope for making improvements to possibly win our division or vie for a wildcard. There's just no excuse for the debacle today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Mahomes is so much more accomplished and proven than Allen, these comparisons are a farce. The comparison only works in head-to-head matchups where their pure skills and athleticism are on display side by side for a moment in time.

T master Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I think Josh is just getting tunnel vision & not using all that he has at his disposal many of the weapons he has aren't being used but sparingly & only a few being over used . Diggs comes through most of the time but remember last year i felt that Josh was using other WR's & RB's so much that i thought Diggs may get pissed because they were using him more as a decoy & less as his main target but not this year . The reason why Davis, Beasley, Knox, & Sanders were used more is because Diggs was used for both as a target & a decoy to open there up but this year he is 80% of the teams out put which is good but i feel others should be used more to open up the offense . That could help Josh out of this slump . Edited November 14, 2022 by T master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I think the Dolphins WR core is why the Dolphins are up there - not the QB. He’s very good but his ceiling is lower than Josh’s. Sadly his floor may be higher, though. In comparison, I think everything with us on offense rides with Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Allen isn’t on Mahomes level, but I don’t think the gap is gargantuan. After games like today, you do wonder when we’ll get the #17 back who used to hear “MVP!” chants from the home crowd. I feel like Daboll could rein Allen in, I don’t have that same confidence in Dorsey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This argument (you describe above) never happened. No one was saying Allen is better than Mahomes. You really should read what is written before assuming you know the conversation and replying to it. Here is what actually happened: Poster 1: Chiefs have superb coaching so of course the QB got better after being in a slump Poster 2: Our coaching and players have beaten their superb coaching 2 of the last 3 times so if their staff was able to help him come out of his slump then I have faith ours can too .
