Why do we? It's not like we haven't seen Mahomes choke, what gets me about the Mahomes conversation is that I've seen Allen, Burrow, Hurts, and Brady ALL outplay him in the playoffs, and/or play him to a draw. That's alot of guys, it's not impossible to outplay Mahomes...
This isn't some flawless playoff guy who always shyts on his opponents. He choked in that Super Bowl, and he choked the very next year in the AFC Championship Game...
When I've seen someone show weakness, then the possibility of someone catching him exists. Allen has arguably outplayed him before (Mahomes was also great in that game, though, and that 13-second drive was legendary), and Mahomes has lost at Arrowhead twice before, so I need him to outplay Mahomes again and Buffalo to beat these mf's on Sunday...
Mahomes gets the benefit of doubt because he more consistently brings his A-game, that's enough for me. But he's been outplayed in regular seasons and playoff games before. What we need to stop doing, is acting like homeboy is always out there outplaying everybody. Sometimes these guys lose to him (Allen in the 13-second game, Hurts) even when they've played better, because the Chiefs just had the better team and better breaks...
