Should players be allowed to tackle/sack Mahomes?

[CRM 114]

I think not. Think about it, the league is nothing without Mahomes and it’s just not worth the risk of having the GOAT QB knocked out of a game for something as trivial as a sack or tackle. Imagine watching the Superbowl in a couple of weeks and not having the face of the league there. Unthinkable!

What say you?

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

If Mahomes is tackled, and injured, then they won't be in the Super Bowl.

I would not want the wrath of the Swifties. A Super Bowl ring isn't worth it.

I heard some guy on ESPN1000 say that the 2nd roughing penalty when Mahomes slid late was the correct call because even though the two Texans players didn't hit Mahomes, they intended to. Its like these 'rules analysts' are contributing to societal brain rot moreso than TikTok. The NFL doesn't make sense anymore.

I enjoy watching people cry about the refs, the chiefs, and mahomes, and i hope they win again

Me too

It's like they think the last 3 years/11 playoff games the chiefs have got every call.......

Oh wait; there hasnt been one game where the chiefs had more penalties than their opponent.

I would love to see Mahomes be the NFL's only 3peat QB so we can finally start talking about how much better than Tom Brady he really is. Unfortunately. I have loved me some Buffalo Bills since the Thurman Thomas days and really want them to finally win it all as well with my man Josh Allen taking Super Bowl MVP.

So torn!

Dont have stats on penalties while scrambling but think this may be overblown.

In the same vein as the movie "Minority Report"....lol....bring in Tom Cruise to head NFL Officiating....

I prefer the Chiefs over most teams....has nothing to do with Mahomes but more of KC being in the Midwest...I root regions in most cases.

The Packers have 3-peated twice. One of which were the first 2 SBs inclusion. The other time back in the '30s.

The way it is fine as long as not only the QB is treated differently. You don’t ever see a RB get a roughing the runner call even though they are getting hits to the head far more often.

**** THE PACKERS

Yea...it really hurt posting that. I cringed!

 

[Toast88]

It's so funny, because Mahomes FOR YEARS has had that as his patented move:

Run toward the sideline, then purposely slow down, initiate contact, fall down out of bounds, get the flag.

I've been pointing this out for years. It cost the Bengals their playoff game against the Chiefs two years ago.

Now finally people see it. That's literally his patented move.

I don't think it is considered a passing attempt if the QB runs beyond the LOS. It would be interesting to see this stat only when the QB is scrambling beyond the LOS. I don't watch every Chiefs game but most of the roughing calls against Mahomes I've seen have been when he is scrambling beyond the LOS.

The NFL is a bunch of pussies. They could nip this in the bud real quick if they wanted. If they called one ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ 15 yard penalty for flopping I bet no QB would ever do that again.

This ain’t like basketball where a team gets 100 possessions so who cares. Set a precedent.

Patrick Mahomes Had Surprisingly Honest Comment About His Ugly Flop vs. Texans

He tried too hard to get a call on this play.

I was watching that live and heard the helmets knock together, the refs assumed it was Mahomes helmet, when in actuality the Texans players knocked heads above Mahomes. The NFL folks in NY should have immediately alerted the referee to pick up the flag, I thinnk they screwed the pooch on that one. But let me digress, I played football n the 70s and have watched evey second of every Bears' game since then. What QBs had to endure back then was absolutely criminal. As a former linebacker I have to admit it was fun to hit a quarterback as hard as you could just to see if you get snot to come out of his nose. But the rules of today are probably reasonable, but the application is not. Referees need to wait a half a second before calling roughing penalties, maybe even have a refs conference to ask for help, because those 15 yards penlties can really affect the game.

NFL would never do that.

Its like the pass interference review they had in place, they never overturned 1 call even when it was clear the call was wrong at times.

The nfl still defends refs and say they did nothing wrong even when there is a clear penalty on the play(an example is the bears blocked fg vs the packers. NFL said the play was legal when it was clear they climbed over the back of the longsnapper, which is a penalty.)

The real solution is to hire full time referees who are held accountable for shitty calls.
