I don't know that he went conservative, I kinda think Pat starting seeing pressure and kinda turtled up.
When you watch some of the clips, he's throwing it pretty quick. Sure he was getting pressured, so you understand it atleast i guess. |

Mahomes 4q numbers are tough in 2019 because he had a few games where he was too hurt to be able to throw. So let's look at 2018....
Ahead by 9 - 16 pts.... 91.1 qb rating (113.8 overall) 7.1 Avg yards (8.8 overall) 59.1% completion % (66% overall) 6 / 2 td/INT ratio (44 / 10 otherwise) Across every other situation we were consistently outstanding on every single statistic. That includes games where we're behind even by a lot which you'd think would be much worse. these numbers in TD+ leads are dramatically worse. And most fans believe that passes the eyeball test too. We simply aren't as effective passing the ball in protect the lead situations. Which is to be expected but not this dramatic a difference. We masked it last year. But this year its become an issue. Doesn't matter who you blame. We have to put games away better. |

I mean if you look at it objectively it would have been good enough for a 14pt win had HB not dropped a gimmee. |

Watkins talked about it after the game. They haven't played a good game yet. It's maddening and seems to be a bit of a team that bought in to their own hype IMO. |

Is it also possible that pat doesn't want to make mistakes. Doesn't want an incomplete pass to stop the clock. Doesn't want to take a loss on a sack. Doesn't want to throw a pick. Could that split second hesitation lead to not making the aggressive throws he typically is unafraid to throw? Could overthinking a decision lead to putting too much touch on a pass. It's an explanation for how even an aggressive playcall can be handled very conservatively.

Meh, I think the team needed a good "defensive" win. The offense isn't going to play remotely that bad again this year, its was a complete outlier. I mean we are 11 games into the season have the #1 offense according to DVOA.

We did need that and it's a great note for our defense to ride into the bye week. But the late game protect the lead inconsistency is not an outlier. We've been consistently not nearly as good. I would hope it's games like this that create the urgency to tighten that up. There's no need to make nailbiters out of games we could easily put away.

90 percent of NFL games are one score games in the 4th quarter. For everyone wanting the chiefs to just blow teams out, i agree. But it just doesn't happen across the league.

Few teams have the offensive firepower to put teams away like we do. I get that defenses play worse when the opponent is pressed against the wall. It's just hard to explain how an offense as dominant as we are is so dominant in every single situation except for this one. The offense is extremely less productive and it's not hard to connect the dots on why.

The majority of the time, getting a 2 score lead in the 2nd half and going conservative on offense, running it, quick throws etc and punting is successful. Our defense has been ass so it's made it ass puckering time. |

If our offense has firepower in the first 3 quarters and in the 4th quarter in close games, no reason why they shouldn't also be consistently powerful in games where we're winning. Here's another perspective. We created so much fear in Baltimore of running up the score that they were desperately going after 4th downs and 2 point conversions. Sometimes an elite sprinters best option is to put the race out of reach vs saving their energy for the final dash for the finish. Desperate teams do desperate things. We could make a mistake OR we could score again and totally take the air out of our opponent. With our offense I'll take the second option. |
