I think BB would be more the solution to the woes of a team like the Cowboys or Bills (whose coaches are arguably worse than Shanahan) but I agree that'd probably have been able to get the job done last night all things considered. Unfortunately for SF, if the aforementioned Cowboys and Bills...
It's really clear that those takes are being made because sports media is struggling to find something to talk about in a league where the gap between Mahomes and the rest of the QBs is so wide. Unlike with, say, the case of Manning contra Brady, a QB like Allen doesn't even have the accolades...
I'll go with the Chiefs for reasons others have already mentioned, though I predict/seriously hope that SF will actually give them a challenge the way Baltimore's offense couldn't.
Only a fool could look at the accomplishments of a [quite possible] succeeding dynasty and think that they somehow render inconsequential the upset against the GSOT, the playoff humiliation against the Manning era Colts, SB 49, 28-3, et.al.
Though I don't disagree, Lamar hasn't shown anything close to the type of playoff grit Rivers showcased by playing through an ACL tear and making it a close game in the 07 AFCCG.
I'd agree, even if we're to compare them relative to how old Lamar is now. At 27, Flacco already had 4 road wins, including one against a 1st seed team (the Titans) and another against the Patriots (though I'll concede that said squad limped into the playoffs). He also came close to beating the...
There's something weirdly poetically symmetrical about how the Lamar-era Ravens are sorta an antipode to the less fun to watch, but consistently more resilient come January Flacco-incarnation.
