Don't allow this play to get lost in the shuffle of today's madness
 

There's really no words to describe how insane this play is.

That’s incredible.

Hardman flashed with a few key catches.

I couldn't stop talking about how incredible that play was. His vision is just insane.

I'm convinced Hardman is only a slight downgrade from Watkins. Hardman has weaknesses that Sammy doesn't, but there's not that big of a drop off.

Damn, off balance throwing against his body and gets it between 4 defenders.

The throw and the catch. Ridonkulous

God damn I wish he would start taking Robinson’s snaps. Too many dropped passes.

Everything was covered. Absurd.

NEVER THROW ACROSS YOUR BODY... unless your names Mahomes

Hardman is a much less polished route runner and can't block as well. I think it's a big drop off if Hardman can't even break into the rotation ahead of Robinson.

Yet some will look at the stat line and say Mahomes didn't play well.

He had to overcome a sieve of an o-line and numerous boneheaded penalties. He still found a way to be superman and save our asses.

He's the best player on the planet, and performances like today prove it more than the 400 yard 4 TD games do imo.

Everything was going against him today and it didn't matter. He STILL came through and won the game.

Incredible.

some kind of magical torque put that in a place where hardman had to reach out to catch it

if it goes into his body the DL can make a play

Word

I'm unsure of why he doesn't get more of Robinson's reps. Also I don't disagree with you regarding things he doesn't do as well as Watkins.

The guy is a playmaker though. He needs to be on the field more often.

That is incredible. No chance for an INT either unless be dropped it up. But there was too much zip on the pass for that to happen.

I love Hardman's potential, but it's clear Mahomes doesn't entirely trust him in the same way as Robinson and it shows up in his usage. If I recall, he and Mahomes had some miscommunication in the 4th where Mahomes seemed frustrated?

For as many great throws as mahomes has made in his career, that 55 yarder might be the toughest throw he's made as a pro. It was a jump pass, drifting backward, thrown on a complete dime 55 yards downfield in the only place he could have put it. Just an absurd throw.

The All 22 is going to reveal this to be the almost exact inverse of the throw to Kelce last year in the AFC Divisional playoffs.

His anticipation and placement is off the charts.

sick.

I can't imagine how frustrating that would be for a defender. I mean they 4 defenders within ~2yds, and Mahomes just threw it through the keyhole anyway. Just incredible.

We're living the dream, boys.

Called "threadin the needle" for sure. All God given ability.:thumb:

When you look at Hardman's body language prior to the catch you can tell even he was surprised momentarily he attempted it because Mecole does that "oh shit here it comes" and comes through with a great catch.

I haven’t seen someone be able to know where everyone is, at all times, since Jesus.

Incredible.

This one and the TD to Hill were special throws. IMO, Rodgers is the only QB in the league who could have pulled off the 55 yarder and I don't think any QB even attempts the 2-point conversion.

There was another throw that was crazy too. I can't remember when it was but it was a ****ing laser to Hill. I believe it was one of the free plays from an offsides call. Pat planted his back foot, reached to his hip and ****ing fired a strike. Ball had to be moving like 70+ MPH.. but it bounced into the air and fell incomplete so no one will remember it.

Yup. Give Hardman a lot of credit too. Just shows you, again, always be working for a reason.

It takes a genius to see the target no one else can see.

Does this apply to fat chicks? Asking for billay.

Barry

Pretty great play. They don't make it to overtime without that conversion. Chargers had it well-defended, and it simply did not matter.

I knew someone would do that. :)

I remember that and I agree it shows Hardman's most needed area for growth. He just doesn't operate comfortably in the offense like the other players. Whereas Kelce and Hill anticipate openings and where Pat wants to go, Mecole often does the opposite. During that play in the fourth, Pat wanted Hardman to come back while Hardman cut towards the sideline. I hope one more year in the offense means Mecole takes that stereotypical third year WR breakout.

Wilson would have the horsepower, but he would rainbow it and hit the Oculus above them instead.

Total miracle. There was no lane at all.

It's like he saw through space and time...

Not human.

Agreed. Plus, the chargers and 49ers for whatever reason seem to have a formula that frustrates us on defense more than others. Most teams won't run that scheme and no other team will have a bosa to deal with.

They need to throw to my son more often.

That was the sickest improv play I've ever seen. There's no way that should've been completed.

He also could have hit Robinson breaking free on the end line.

I was going to do the Dune parody this offseason, but probably better to wait for the new Dune movie.

Football is too easy for Patrick Mahomes, so he throws to the covered man to make it more of a challenge.

For what they were - the throw > the catch - but not by much.

I don't think anybody in NFL history except him makes that play. How did he even see that opening?

think it has to do with size. can’t have every WR be 5’8”. need some bigger bodies to block on the edge

Watching on TV didn’t do that throw justice

Cannot defend that shit.

He would drop it.

It looks like this photo was taken at the pump, rather than the throw?

Upon further review, it was taken during the throw. Incredible.

From the back side, when Mahomes throws the ball a couple of defenders kinda jump to their left, leaving Hardman open.

Interestingly enough, this is the same thing I thought when I saw the tweet.

It's ****ing amazing.

Looking at that photo, Hardman might be the last person you'd think Mahomes is about to target there.

like turning a double play

side note linemen are down field as **** on that play

I'm looking at #10. As are the Chargers.

Here's the other angle. Pat knows that defender is going to leave Hardman. Somehow. Someway.

Was it a no-look pass? All the defenders went towards Tyreek. Maybe Patrick's eyes were staring at Tyreek?

Whizzed it right past Joey Bosa's face and caught him napping.

Was Reiter illegally downfied or does that not work in the endzone?

Yea. Bosa finally got to him tonight but Pat punked him game wise. Win your cute little battle, we will win the war. Reminds me of the Vaginers.

I think the official rule is that they can be one yard past the line of scrimmage, but in practice it's rarely called unless they're downfield several yards.

Man, he's straight up checking through receivers with each pump there. You can see him look at 1, 2, [oh shit] 3rd read keyhole pass cross body through multiple defenders....

Watch Bosa's body language when he realizes Hardman made the catch, lol. Everyone, really. Like..."WHAT????"

Thanks I was wondering on that.

That's just....what? I don't even know.

OMG, that catch is just amazing. Hell, the whole play is just incredible the vision Pat possesses is otherworldly.

Pat could have thrown it a little higher. He needs to make that a more catchable ball.

And I thought football video game mechanics were unrealistic...

That's literally a glitch.

That shit didn’t come through in the radio broadcast. I saw it in the GIF thread. Wow. Mahomes man.

IMHO, the play of the game was when it was 3rd & 20 from the 45 yard line with 54 seconds left in regulation & the Chiefs down 20-17.

Mahomes scrambles for 21 yards to the 24 yard line.

Amazing

Almost a "no look pass", as he keeps looking at the corner, as if to bait the defenders that way, then in mid "stroke" pulls the ball back inside, amazing!

Amazing finger grab, but if Hardman was able to keep flowing instead of stopping that pass hits him right in the gut.

Not much different than the Kelce TD pass in the playoffs against the Texans last year. Just incredible stuff.

Jedi mind trick. Plain and simple.
