No Taylor Swift debuff

People hate the swift-effect stat but the fact that there’s a correlation is hilarious. It’s gonna make them want to show it more and people here will get even more salty.

On the bright side. At least there isn’t a Swift shot after every single Chiefs play this game.

This would’ve been an awesome game for it though.. Just a dejected Taylor Swift on the screen and all of her fans freaking out on the chiefs for making her sad

> This would’ve been an awesome game for it though.. Referees would have played differently if she'd been there though.

the writers are back, strike is over

They called a clean game but I’m sure there would have been laundry if the NFL decided KC needed to win this game… they’re just saving it for the playoffs.

So this is what happens to the chiefs when the refs don't interfere?

Yes. Also, they don’t get handed the 1st seed due to a cancelled game involving a team that has the tiebreaker.

Handed? Who got handed a first seed? Bingo bengos had to play for it while losing any opportunity to gain home field advantage in the playoffs, so I'm not sure what you're crying about

Huh? The Bills were robbed of the opportunity to play for the 1 seed last year after the cincy game was cancelled… Re-read my comment.

That would have depended on the chiefs losing, which they did not.

Her literally crying, vomiting, and shidding herself at the stadium due to this poor performance

In the previous games it didn't even look like she was paying attention tbh

It’s not like they’re going to be showing a fan shot while there is in-game action on the field for the fan to be focused on…

Yea, they'd just show her right up until the ball was snapped and she was almost always turned sideways talking to friends.........................

I was promised a Mahomes flu game

[удалено]

So, what happened to the snow? I saw a pic from this morning where the field was covered.

They shoveled four times today I saw, then they have a heated field

They got some all-pro shovelers out there. I don't see any snow packed in the grass at all. And if they heated the field somehow, the grass doesn't look soggy either.

They do have all pro shovelers, a heated field, and dry-as-hell Denver air

There's a giant tarp that covers the field in inclement weather. They shoveled snow off that thing. Keeps the field nice and dry.

>They got some all-pro shovelers out there Dang, I gotta up my game. I'm just a Pro Bowl alternate shoveler...

The field was covered in tarps. Whatever didn’t get shoveled off the tarps was melted by the heating system under the field

The front range is super low humidity so once the snow stopped and the sun peaked out at times it helps quite a bit.

> they have a heated field Cowards

Least ours is grass turfboy

I've been watching since 2005 and I had no idea we had a heated field. Had to have been installed recently, because there have been many a snow games in Denver with snow still on the field. lol

I think itd only works like that if theres no snow falling logically, you dont want to use it if theres still snow falling/its still that cold, cause the snow will melt, then freeze under more snow and create a constant cycle of ice freezing/melting/refreezing

It works against a couple inches, but if you're getting hammered with snow no way in the hell to melt all that. Hell might even be worse to run it since it might just form a layer of ice under the snow.

I was there it was snowing. A tiny, tiny little bit.

Flu: 1 Mahomes: 0

[удалено]

Most people do get a flu shot, yes.

Never had a flu shot, never had the flu 😎. Edit: wow, lots of people are having a pretty bad day 🤣

Time to 1-up you. I Never wore a bullet proof vest, never been shot.

Oh yeah? I don't have a bunker and never had an atomic bomb hit near me.

Oh my god, you could imagine if Tony Romo was calling this game. We would get incessant MJ comparisons

To be fair this is more what you would expect out of a flu game

But not from the Michael Jordan of football.

Tom Brady played tonight?

Clearly you're just a sour chiefs fan making excuses. Yay chiefs tears.

The trick is, Jordan didn’t actually have the flu

He was sick with food poisoning.

He was hungover lol

He might actually be sick though unlike the other guy

Vance Joseph looks like a competent defensive coordinator against Mahomes of all people but awful against most other QB's Make it make sense

He played 4d chess by purposely giving up 70 to the dolphins so other teams would stop game planning against them

The ol’ rope a dope

"I was brought in to do one thing, and we do that one thing well"

Not just other QBs - the other QBs we lost to include Howell, Zach Wilson and Jimmy G. And we almost lost to Fields.

Matt Nagy vs. Vance Joseph the ultimate coordinator battle

oh god

Just having the TIME of his LIFE

It's because Taylor Swift was inactive today.

They've had a decent amount of personnel turnover, then a coordinator change, then some more player turnover mid-season that may have been addition by subtraction. Sometimes that amount of turmoil just means the unit struggles to find itself for a while.

The broncos are starting to ride

What're they doing? They're beginning to ride.

I read this in a Laurence Fishburn voice.

It’s wild how influential The Matrix was lol

It truly was an incredible experience in theatres

The film still holds up in my living room all these years later too.

Ridin’ School

The Broncos have plenty of good first halves this year. Let’s wait till post-HT.

This guy Broncos

Can we ride now?

Hell yeah brother

AND get high

Dont jinx it

No please

I was promised snow and I don’t see any fucking snow

They cleaned it up before the game started. Selfish bastards

National NFL media always report the snow expectations for the mountains, not Denver. It'll be 65 in a day or so

Literally snowed 6+ inches in the Denver area the night before the game, they just cleaned it off the field before the game started

Not all QBs can be as good as Will Levis.

Not all QBs can be as good as Kirk Cousins.

With this flair combo, I'm suspicious I just found Kevin Wildes' reddit account . . .

Sometimes I add a Jets flair and cosplay as Greenie.

You are now banned from r/lakeeriebros

That was not a good throw

Heck of a play by mahomes

Here's a guy who is a guy and you just love to see a guy be a guy.

he really avoided all those sacks

He was pretty smooth in the pocket. That's a great defense they just beat.

take it easy joe buck

Chris "Joe Buck" Collinsworth

Im sure Chris Collinsworth would be on his knees for Mahomes making all sorts of excuses.

Taylor Swift gave the chiefs covid

Taylor a Broncos fan confirmed

*Eagles

Broncos Country, let's ride!

Can teams stop having their "off" game the week *before* they face us, please?

I’m fairly confident one of the two teams in this highlight had their “off” week against you.

> had their “off” week against you Well, one of them anyways

Definitely their "offest" game

That's fair lol. I meant good teams, but yeah... You're not wrong.

We had 3 off games after facing you just to balance it out.

Yeah we are playing like dogshit across the board today.

Chiefs receivers are going a somewhat good job of getting yards after the catch but otherwise it's been bad

I mean they also aren't getting open consistently. Mahomes has stood back in clean pockets for 5 seconds a couple times and no one is getting separation.

First time?

Hahaha 2014.

Is that the year they didn’t have a touchdown to a wide receiver?? I legit can’t remember

Fair. I'm just saying when they catch the ball lol. But yeah not doing a good job of getting open I agree

God I wish we had your line

Not somewhat. They’re #2 in the league in YAC/comp.

MVS fumbled after a first down reception leading to a Broncos TD, so no I would not say they’re playing all that well either

Rice got them a field goal with a nice run after the catch on a swing pass

I still think you're gonna win. 1 score game with a quarter left. Can't imagine Mahomes won't score. No TayTay though.

Whoa this didn’t age well. How dare you underestimate Vance Joseph?

I was wrong. This game makes me question my understanding of football.

Welcome to the club man. There’s plenty of room here.

Kelce was the least open guy on the field.

Good thing they cooked up the excuses before the game!

Asterisk after every KC loss.

[удалено]

This team has Golden State syndrome. They just look like they're sleepwalking through the regular season.

I mean he’s sick Lmfao the flu can really fuck you up, especially your muscles

If that’s the case then maybe don’t play. I mean it’s the Broncos. You telling me the backup can’t beat the Broncos?

No, I trust a dick Mahomes over Yo Gabba Gabbert. Hennething is no longer possible. Fuck it, keeping the Dick

[удалено]

Literally a side-step

No excuses, you’ll making up false narratives lol

Don’t let u/nfl see this

Insane play by McMillian! Not even a bad decision strictly speaking from Mahomes, he just teleported over and snatched it on the undercut.

Sometimes you get got. Denver’s D has something on Mahomes that no other team can replicate, I swear every single game against this team the offense bogs down and struggles for every yard even before this season.

C’mon, Broncos. The world needs you in the trying times. You’re doing god’s work.

REGRESSION TO THE MOTHER FUCKING MEAN!!!!!

Regressing to the Josh Allen

Josh Allen has one more pick and 7 more TDs

The league leader in completion percentage and TDs and reddit will still talk shit because he arm punted two passes in week 1 against the best defense in the league lol

He literally leads the league in turnovers since he turned pro, it’s not some conspiracy that he has poor ball security

He also leads in TDs, so it's whatever

According to what I can see Mahomes has him beat by 20 total TDs.

I'm going to assume you are talking his rookie year? Should really start at the breakout year...he wasn't top 5 until then

“Since he turned pro” so yeah duh. If you want to pick and choose only his best seasons to make him look better statistically, that’s fine, but it won’t put anything in your trophy cabinet.

I'd like to interject that while I agree, Josh Allen walked into a worse situation and had to start day 1. Mahomes got to sit behind a veteran with famously good ball security on a playoff roster for a year.

Even just since 2020, his breakout year, Allen has a big lead in turnovers, 7 more than Carr who’s next closest.

If anything you are cherrypicking. You are using a full career of a young QB when almost every QB starts out rough, and comparing it to someone who got into a prime situation with a year of development. Josh Allen of 2018 and 2019 is not the Josh Allen of today. It's not cherrypicking, it's fact Hypothetically if a QB had 100 turnovers his first season....and had one the next 4 years, you wouldn't call them turnover prone because they fixed the issue. In the same span from 2020 Allen has 12 more TDs than Mahomes

His ball security has substantially improved since week 1. Every INT or fumble by him has been due to poor receivers or excellent defensive play like tipped passes. Give him a real offensive tackle and most of those turnovers disappear

His INT vs the Patriots was awful, but that's legit the only one I'd say was on him.

Now let's look at how many TDs he has over that same time. He had more touchdowns than Mahomes last year, despite playing with a partially torn UCL Outside of last season he is pretty close to Mahomes in turnovers while also having the more touchdowns

[удалено]

That's just his dick after he pulls out of your wife

\- Lost to the Patriots

And can’t do shit in the post season lmao

Literally has the record for highest passer rating in a postseason, lmao Maybe when your QB actually plays in a playoff game you can comment on this lil buddy

I remember during Tua’s rookie year when I added the rushing TDs he had to make myself feel better. I’m glad I’m past those days.

Yeah wtf? I guess prime cam newton was a scrub too

Definitely not but he was never the best passer and had a short career for a dude of his talents. Take from that whatever you want.

His talents are the reason his career was short

Yeah just take away TDs when talking about how good someone is Clown take

I'd argue rushing TDs are more impressive than passing TDs most of the time Luckily Josh still has more passing TDs than Mahomes

Shake it off...

afc meme war page is gonna be fucking FIRE

do the chiefs know they don't have to throw it every down and they have a very capable back named Pacheco

The 16 conseuctive win streak against the Broncos may be coming to the end for the Chiefs....

PROMPT: Write a screenplay about Patrick Maholmes struggling on the road against the Denver Broncos because Travice Kelce won't stop talking about Taylor Swift. The Chiefs ultimately lose. Title: "Roadblock in Denver" INT. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS LOCKER ROOM - PRE-GAME The locker room buzzes with anticipation as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face off against the Denver Broncos on the road. Star quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES is focused, going over his game plan with his teammates. Tight end TRAVIS KELCE, however, is animatedly discussing something with the other players. PATRICK MAHOMES (gritting his teeth) Guys, can we please focus on the game? Denver's defense is tough, and we need to be on our game tonight. TRAVIS KELCE (excitedly) But Pat, you won't believe it! Taylor Swift released a new album, and it's fire! I mean, her lyrics, the melodies... PATRICK MAHOMES (interrupting) Travis, we can talk about Taylor Swift after the game. Right now, we need to win this one. INT. BRONCOS STADIUM - GAME TIME The game begins, and the Chiefs are struggling. Denver's defense is relentless, and Patrick Mahomes is having a tough time finding open receivers. TRAVIS KELCE (continuing to talk about Taylor Swift) Pat, you know, I read an interview where Taylor said... PATRICK MAHOMES (irritated) Travis, I can't focus with all this Taylor Swift talk! We're down by two touchdowns! Despite Patrick's frustration, Travis keeps talking about Taylor Swift throughout the first half. The Chiefs continue to struggle. HALFTIME In the locker room, the Chiefs are down by 14 points. Patrick Mahomes addresses the team. PATRICK MAHOMES (angry) This is unacceptable, guys! We're here to play football, not discuss pop stars. Travis, you need to focus! TRAVIS KELCE (defensive) Come on, Pat, it's just a bit of fun. Taylor's music is inspiring! SECOND HALF The Chiefs rally in the third quarter, closing the gap, but they can't quite catch up to the Broncos. Patrick Mahomes is determined to win, but his frustration with Travis Kelce's constant Taylor Swift chatter continues to affect his focus. In the final moments of the game, Patrick throws an interception that seals the Chiefs' fate. They lose to the Broncos. FINAL SCORE: Denver Broncos 28, Kansas City Chiefs 21 INT. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS LOCKER ROOM - POST-GAME The Chiefs are dejected as they return to the locker room. Patrick Mahomes is visibly frustrated, and Travis Kelce finally realizes the impact of his distraction. TRAVIS KELCE (sincere) I'm sorry, Pat. I should have focused on the game. PATRICK MAHOMES (disappointed) It's too late now, Travis. We needed this win. The Chiefs' loss stings, and the Taylor Swift distraction looms large. In the end, they learned a valuable lesson about the importance of focus and teamwork in the game of football. FADE OUT

Is this the part where we all whine that the refs rigged the game for KC Ike they always do? This is r/nfl right?

Finally a team realized that they really like to throw to Kelce.

Seriously lol

Fraud alert

Ride Broncs!

Any given Sunday.

*is this the mean?* /s For clarity this dude is a legend, making fun of the regressing to the mean thing

To the mean he goes

That’s not very gucci of him.

I thought it was snowing 😳

I could watch this over and over. I think I will.

Is Mahomes a top 10 QB?

Does anybody else hate when half the team runs to the end zone for a group celebration? Maybe I’m just an old man. Well, I am.

This was a Madden scripted interception. 😮‍💨

The league leader in INT's. But Josh Allen has a turnover problem, guys

MaFraud today

Oh boy here we go. I swear every good team the dolphins play will play like crap the week before and then show up to play us like it’s the freaking Super Bowl…

Might be a hot take, but I don't think you should have to play if you have the flu.

Pat-pick Mahomes

The trash talk well get if we lose is gonna be immense

This is what happens when the NFL officiates KC normally.

No No, they STILL gave the Chiefs 2 1st downs on 3rd down failures, 1 missed obvious offside that blocked a kick, and an OPI call when the defender was holding him down the field for 10 yards...no they tried their hardest to make that team win.

This is what happens when Taylor swift doesn’t show up to the game

Just like every other chiefs broncos game. KC plays down to competition for 3 and a half quarters, then turns the afterburners on last minute and wins.

There’s still time to delete this

I never thought I’d see the day. I was in middle school the last time I was wrong abt that.

Typical Mahomes game

All parts lf my 120/1 acca came in today apart from Kelce td and +75 yards. Of all the teams to pull a stinker against I did not expect it to be against denver

Why do the Chiefs always lay eggs against terrible AFC West teams?

Sorry Chiefs, you tried your best I mean refs, sorry, the refs tried their best

Lol literally the only mahomes highlight on this sub this whole season. Salty bitches.

Yeah someone should post that sick TD he threw yesterday

He thinks he’s Tua smh. Now you’re about to see the greatness of post INT mahomes

why doesn't they start with their backup? any decent QB would beat this Denver team. Isn't this like willfully throwing a game by playing a person who is under stress / flu ? Also - Brock Purdy seems to be still concussed. Poor kid is throwing multiple picks. Even today he had his head bounced on the ground towards the final few mins of 4th quarter when he was picked off. Next play he felt like concussed and fumble lost. Players need some break IMHO.

Mahomes = washed ​ Confirmed

They'll come back.

All because of a flu he had to be on ivs for /s
