Tom vs. Patrick -- Super Bowl LV thread

Brady + 3 1/2

The Fisher injury is massive, especially with the way the Bucs can put Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaq Barrett off the edges. They have been giving starting tackles a hard time this playoff so with backups on both sides K.C. is going to have to do some work with protection. That being said they have two weeks to figure it out and I'm guessing they will use a lot of two-TE sets.

The Bucs decided to cover Hill one-on-one in the first game and it was an awful idea. Hill had over 200 yards receiving in the first quarter. I doubt they will make the same mistake twice, but that leaves Kelce in a spot where he can rack up big yards on them. If they put too big of an emphasis on stopping Hill, I think they can work some stuff in with Hardman, Watkins and Pringle and get big plays that way. As long as the Chiefs can figure out their protection issues I think they can get downfield on the Bucs.

If you recall, protection problems are why the Chefs had only 10 points midway through the fourth quarter of last year's Super Bowl. Then they hit one big play and were off to the races.

Wondering if my Jacksonville friends are happy for Leonard Fournette and Blaine Gabbert

I don't know the answer to this, but Jesus - Tom Brady has played in 20 percent of all Super Bowls ever.

That's staggering.

Well, 18 percent (counting this year's game).

Namath vs. Unitas (for a quarter-plus)

Give that man a hand!

Wilson v Manning, but Manning was a shadow of himself.

Heh. He was MVP that year. Led the league in completions, yards (5,477, still an NFL record) and touchdowns (55, still an NFL record). Posted his second-highest QB rating.

That GAME got away from him and the Broncos in a nanosecond, but . . .

I was rounding.

But can this be said of any other single player in any other sport with a long-standing championship event?
