00:00 Robin, was that a bad look for him?

00:02 Well, yeah, of course it was a little bit of a bad look for

00:05 Patrick Mahomes considering everybody's like yo, bro, they

00:09 called the correct thing right there. He was clearly off sides

00:12 and pointing out that the Chiefs have gotten the benefit of some

00:16 flags in the past. Now I get it. Mahomes is frustrated in that

00:20 moment. The Chiefs have lost a lot of games. They probably

00:23 should have won. Heck, Caderius Tony has now lost them two games

00:27 himself. So a lot of that boils over and he's also thinking to

00:31 himself. This has no impact on the actual play. It's not like

00:35 Caderius Tony lining up off sides is what changed the

00:38 outcome there. So not only did they lose an all-time great

00:41 play that Travis Kelsey made, they lost a play that likely

00:45 would have won them the game over something that he's never

00:48 seen called before. So you get that level of frustration still.

00:52 He was doing too much with the reaction.

00:56 If Patrick Mahomes is upset, he should be upset with his head

00:59 coach, Andy Reid. They walk into this season deciding that

01:02 they were not going to prioritize having a star wide

01:06 receiver for Pat to throw to. Their receivers have cost them

01:08 minimally three games this year. That's nobody's fault, but

01:12 the head coach/GM. You know that you have an otherworldly

01:17 talent at quarterback. He has to throw the ball to somebody

01:20 and it's been an issue all season. They also didn't make

01:22 any moves at the trade deadline. As somebody who had Andy Reid

01:26 as a coach with the Eagles, it was the same problem when he

01:29 was in Philly. Other than the Terrell Owens year, the Eagles

01:31 never had a wide receiver that was a guy that could be

01:33 consistently relied upon. And this is what Pat is dealing

01:36 with now. So he has nobody to be upset with, but the guy

01:39 calling the plays for him.
