Tom vs. Patrick -- Super Bowl LV thread

Mahomes, Hill and Kelce can usually overshadow the KC deficiencies in the other areas, but when you can’t block, you can’t win.

 

If Brady is a Chief and Mahomes is a Buc, that game might have been 60-9.

Brady is amazing, but he was not the best QB on the field last night.

Brady is smart enough to know where to play, which is part of being the GOAT.

 

The best and most memorable play last night was an incompletion when the game was out of hand. Still can't believe that.

 

I wonder if the inability to adjust now gets used against Bienemy in his coaching search. Feels like his window may be closing.

 

Don't know why that would be. The inability of an offensive line to block is beyond any coach's ability to "adjust."

 

If you need seven to block four you are not going to win many games.

 

Hard to know if that's more him or Reid though, since he hasn't gotten the chance to lead a team. In hindsight, I also wonder if people put too much stock in KC's gaudy record, while overlooking that their point differential was "only" +111 this year. Still good, obviously, but not some juggernaut, whereas the Bucs and Saints were at 140 and 150ish.

 

As the Chiefs naturally were on TV a lot this year, it appeared to me that most games they'd have 15-20 minutes of playing time looking like the greatest team in history and 40-45 minutes of looking quite ordinary, so they'd put a game away with a late or early burst, but were seldom consistent for 60 minutes. It's human nature to remember the dazzling parts of a 14-2 team and forget the ordinary bulk of their play. They weren't even ordinary last night.

 

I’m not suggesting it’s fair, but now there is something people can point to - he doesn’t appear to have been anyone’s ideal candidate so far.

Such a strange outing by the Chiefs. I wonder if treating it like a normal road game was of any consequence, and if the Britt Reid accident was a distraction.

 

Someone said if QBs switched teams, it would have been 60-9.
