OK dad, I've been wihtout a lawnwower most of the summer. I want to take one last swipe at the acre with the push mower and then use the lawn sweep to clean it up. If I take the bag off the push mower what kind of trouble do you think I'll find if I try to chop up the very long 1'+ bent over grass and the leaves on top of it?

@themeatbridge @g8phcon2 That last bit is locale-specific. If I mow on dry, sunny days now, I get dry, dead grass.

That's a good point, I was assuming a temperate climate, and wet leaves and grass will kill whatever is under it. If you live in a hotter, drier climate, the clippings will dry out on their own.
