Probably because he never gets targeted and is just going through the motions at this point.

I think Moore is getting too much blame for that interception. That play was never open and shouldn't of been thrown. Other than that play Moore and the wr's collectively deserve all the criticism they receive along with anyone who made the decision that this was going to be the group
Totally understand, but all stars, particularly Mahomes with this rule look to stretch those advantages as much as possible.
It’s not as egregious as the fake slide, but it’s similar, taking an angle toward the sideline, but if the guy lets up, spin out of that contact for more yards.
I’m a KC guy and have rooted for Chiefs in my time here since ‘06/08. It’s simply what happens.
But in that particular game situation it would have been stupid for Mahomes to try to get maybe another yard or two and risk not actually getting out of bounds. If the defender was worried that Mahomes may spin out of it, then maybe he should have kept his position to actually tackle and not turn his body trying to lay the boom on Mahomes.
Well he stopped on the route so not sure how it isn’t his fault. Then he didn’t even appear to know which way to turn
He did stop I think that's accurate but I don't think he anticipated it being thrown and I know you don't coach wrs to ever stop but that play wasn't open. At best it was a 1 on 1 play with sky moore in the middle of field on a 1st and 10.
Imagine coming to a thread about one team, and then proceed to talk about your own team, and I'm the one appearing like a hawkeye fan? Lol
Yes, Moore stopped his route, but I got the feeling that Mahomes was expecting Moore to look towards that outside, away from the defender and throw it there, while Moore slowed down and looked to the inside. In the news conference, Mahomes said he should have thrown it back shoulder more, but I got the feeling he was covering for Moore.
All season long Mahomes is throwing to the spot to protect the receiver, and for some reason, they either stop or slow down their route, or look back into the middle of the field, instead of where Mahomes is throwing to keep them from taking a hit.
Well that just isnt the case. He knew the ball was coming his way. My guess is he got confused on what he was supposed to be doing. If you notice he also wasn't sure which way to turn. In the post game Mahomes said specifically that he signaled to Moore to change his route because of the coverage. And this is not the first time that Moore has had issues. He has had several. One of the big reasons he didn't see the field last year was because of his struggles in picking up the offense.
FWIW, I’m not trying to make the case that was a bad call, only saw the play once in a highlight.
More broadly, feel for defenses that are put in a no win situation at the sideline.
If they let up, they get burnt for add’l yards. If they hit, qb looks for a flag (as he did the previous week).
It’s gamesmanship. Which is legal, just is what it is.
He's constantly doubled. Sometimes tripled. Even if his numbers haven't been great he has been a pain in the ass to prepare for.

These WR's are so ******* bad.
I would cut Toney after this game. He has cost them two games and hasn’t been healthy most of it anyway.
Imagine the egg shells he's gonna be walking on.
Lined up offsides on a play where KC scored to take the lead with 1:20 left. So it was called back.
