NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION OFFICIAL Super Bowl Bucs/Chiefs Game Thread


Congratulations to TFB, it kinda feels like a Patriots win. And like others have said screw the chiefs and their dynasty talk
I mean it did a little at first. But as today goes in I’m realizing more and more it wasn’t and depression is setting in again.
 
Brady destroyed Mathieu and humiliated him on the biggest stage; telling him it's coming and then going at him with AB on that touchdown is absolutely ****ing hillarious and shows why Brady's most underrated skill (and a big separator from the Mannings, Rodgers of the league) has always been his on-field big **** energy.

It remains to be seen if Mathieu recovers from this and is the same player with all that swagger.

The Seahawks secondary never walked straight again after that SB49 fourth quarter pounding.
The Greatest Show on Turf was reduced to a punchline.
Matt Ryan and everyone on the Falcons broke into shards.

Yet after all those games, everyone was so confident they'd be okay.

I'm sure the Chiefs will be competitive with Mahomes, but I wonder how a lot of that team will recover from this. I think it's very possible that their defense - which was based more on confidence and leadership than talent - is going to suffer. Andy Reid will be feeling this for a long time.

This is just a humiliating ass whooping for a team that led the league in self-promotion and victory laps.

And that's another area where you have to give Bill Belichick a ton of credit...a lot of really tough losses for the Patriots, like any team over 20 years, and they always came right back with the same confidence.

The Chiefs on this playoff run were very big on taunting, showboating and cheap shots. They squeaked by the Browns in part because they speared a guy in the head so flagrantly it would have been illegal in the late 1970s and got a no-call on the foul, and then acted like they'd won the Super Bowl. You could tell that Brady had destroyed them psychologically by the 3rd quarter.
 
Maybe this has already been asked, but did Max Kellerman's head explode last night?

The bit I saw of Max was basically him laughing at how wrong he was about the cliff FWIF
 
Yesterday's game was a beauty. The offense and defensive game planning was Patriots-esq in that they morphed and adapted to whatever was needed with enough unpredictably to keep KC guessing all game.

Having talent on the defensive front 7 which we haven't had at that level except for the early dynasty years ensured that there would be no nail biting to close this game which was the case for almost all 9 of his NE SB appearances for Tom.
 
Pretty sure I said was wrong about Brady after the NFCCG.

To be honest, my comments on Brady all season were based off of him leaving the Pats and how angry I was at him. After thinking about it these last several weeks, I think my anger should be more to Belichick AND Kraft for letting him go. I think there is ample evidence that Bill underestimated how much Brady meant to this organization and let everyone down. He should have swallowed his pride and let Brady stay for 2-3 more years.

Brady did great and deserved to win it all last night. I expect to see maybe 1-2 more championships in Tampa. I am also concerned that this win is going to make SB 55 Brady's greatest achievement - and it's not with our team.
The greatest one for me is the first...and yes...with our team...
 
Up until last year, Reid was heavily criticized for his teams having a complete lack of discipline and also his clock management.

In last year's Super Bowl, I thought the Chiefs got away with a crap ton of non-calls on those very disciplinary issues like jumping offsides, false starts, etc.

The narrative really shifted this year like always, with "No one can beat Reid in a big game..." but in actuality, the Chiefs meltdown in the Super Bowl (not gameplanning but clock management and absolutely ridiculous penalties) were a lot more reminiscent of Andy Reid's career than the recent narrative.

You bent the knee and kissed the ring. Good work.

And how do you stay in 5 man protection for what looked like the entire game when it's not working. People are all still raving about Mahomes but wtf is he doing trying to play that way with how the game was going. He's not the first QB to get over 20 pressures in a superbowl but he throws a few sidearm half falling passes that are incomplete and he's hailed for it. Why was he dropping back and running around for the big play? Unload the ball quickly or run to get them out of 2 high? I mean what were they doing? The 3rd and 2 timeout was LOL stupid. It's like even the Chiefs thought they were invincible.
 
Also the first one imho
I still like the Seattle comeback. Until that game no team had overcome a 10 point deficit in the 4th quarter to win the game. That Seattle pass defense was one of the very best ever and Brady put together 2 lunch drives. The rush was all over him but he was still nearly perfect on those 2 scoring drives.

Because he almost always got away with that. Even if the Chiefs O line was healthy they were no match for that Bucs D-Line. Chiefs need to install some semblance of a short passing game of this will keep happening to them. And Mahomes will start to really break down. His knee last year, his toe etc. this year.
