Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Co. didn\u2019t put points on the board until after they fell to a 34-0 deficit late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>During the 40-22 defeat, Mahomes threw for 257 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, including a pick-six. The Eagles defense sacked Mahomes a career-high six times. While fans and analysts grappled with what went wrong, a comment made by Chiefs passing game coordinator Joe Bleymaier leading up to the big game turned heads on Thursday, February 13.<\/p>\n<p>Bleymaier, who played football with Chiefs offensive Matt Nagy and general manager Brett Veach at the University of Delaware, joined the faculty in 2016 as an offensive quality control coach. After working his way up through the ranks and becoming a crucial part of the team\u2019s success, the prospect of a three-peat seemed to add immense pressure.<\/p>\n<p>While working alongside Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Nagy he wondered to ESPN\u2019s Kalyn Kahler on the Wednesday before the Super Bowl, \u201cAre we utilizing [Mahomes] the best? Are we giving him the stuff that he needs? It\u2019s just constantly second-guessing ourselves just so that he has everything he needs to go be himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While second-guessing the game plan days before the Super Bowl is less than ideal, it\u2019s another comment that drew fans\u2019 ire.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Joe Bleymaier Admitted He Was Terrified Over Misusing Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5275373\">\n<div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg 4949w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=782,521 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=780,520 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=425,283 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=660,440 660w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=254,169 254w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=270,180 270w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=225,150 225w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2198615231_4bebf7.jpg?resize=242,161 242w\" alt=\"Fans Want Chiefs Coach Fired After Patrick Mahomes Comment Surfaces\" width=\"782\" height=\"521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5275373\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bleymaier told Kahler that coaching the quarterback who could be \u201cthe greatest of all time\u201d was not all joy. \u201cIt makes it so much more stressful,\u201d Bleymaier said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou feel the burden as a coach and as you\u2019re putting a game plan together to not waste his abilities. To not go through a season where you don\u2019t give him the opportunity. To not screw it up as the coaching staff. So rather than feeling like this just unbridled excitement that we could do anything, it\u2019s actually more like a terror, like we cannot be the reason that we screwed this guy up or this team up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SI\u2019s Matt Verderame read this quote and posted, \u201cI\u2019ve said all year the Chiefs play offense like they\u2019re terrified. Turns out\u2026 they\u2019re actually terrified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City Star\u2019s Sam McDowell countered, \u201cThis is a false equivalence. Bleymaier is referring to the gravity of coaching an all-time great from a big-picture standpoint. You\u2019ve equated it to literally playing scared on a play-to-play basis, the smallest of pictures. (Also, he doesn\u2019t call plays.) Two different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, several X users called for Bleymaier to be dismissed. One Chiefs fan posted, \u201cthat\u2019s a god awful mentality for our passing game coordinator to have. kick ROCKS bro.\u201d One woman wrote, \u201cI\u2019ve said all season that it feels like the Chiefs are in play not to lose mode. His comments confirm it. That is a defeatist &amp; constraining mentality. He should be fired immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another person wrote, \u201cThere needs to be some house cleaning on the offensive coaching staff. Get some new blood and give up the playcalling duties.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Took Full Responsibility for His Mistakes<\/h2>\n<p>After the game, Mahomes shouldered the responsibility for their loss. \u201cI didn\u2019t play to my standard,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to have to find a way this offseason to combat what defenses are doing to me as far as rush lanes and different coverages that they\u2019re playing. That\u2019s the beauty of football \u2014 you never can be satisfied with just coming out there and playing and thinking you\u2019re going to have success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese defense are going to continue to get better and better, so I have to get better. I take a lot of ownership in that, and I want to hopefully, come back and play better football next season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans in disbelief over Chiefs passing game coordinator Joe Bleymaier&#8217;s remarks on quarterback Patrick Mahomes before Super Bowl 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
