Great game....Kupp was the best WR this year...shoulda been triple teamed though....

where is the Bills @ Chiefs thread?
Unbelievable you let Krupp beat you at the end.
 
Bowles, Arians and Leftwich are incredibly overrated.
 
I don’t think he will retire.

BUT I do think he will regret not retiring. Tampa will lose too many guys In offseason. Unless they hit the draft lottery good, they won’t be good enough and might even miss playoffs.
Brady's never had a losing record.

That may change next season
 
Well, if Brady calls it a career, he’s accomplished everything. 7 titles, holds almost every all time passing record and postseason record, and won one without Belichick.

That was the way a GOAT loses a game, and if that’s his last one, what a way to go out. I think he’ll be back, but who knows? I just watch him for enjoyment now…there’s no pressure like he’ll miss out on some achievement.
 
Well, congrats to the Rams and to Matthew Stafford. He's made me eat a lot of crow with this performance. I've always liked him as a person - seems like a good dude - even though I've had big doubts about his pysche. While the Rams absolutely almost choked, Stafford really wasn’t the guy to blame for that.

I'll root for the 49ers, but I can live with the Rams winning the Super Bowl as well. Either team is better than the Chiefs or Bills.

Great effort by Tampa Bay...the guys never quit even though they had about 5 death blows. They weren't the better team but still nearly found a way to pull it out. It's said that the season was let down, though, by Bowles stupid blitz tendencies that people here have complained about for two years. What benefit is there to blitzing there when the game is over if you can just stop them from gaining two gigantic plays? Don't want that extra help in the secondary? Truly and absolutely ****ing stupid defensive concept as usual.

Mike Evans is awesome. Jesus, what an effort.
Just wanted to point out he did technically fumble on the first play of that final drive...so he tried to do Stafford things ;)

Who exactly do they lose?
 
Look, the Bucs overachieved all year. They beat up on the Atlanta, Miami, Eagles, Bears, WFT, Giants, Colts, Carolina, and Jets. That resulted in 11 of their 13 wins. Their opponents had a combined record of 114-124.

everything and then some. Nobody will ever come close to what hes accomplished. Manning is probably the closest to him this era and he had 2 rings. Id be suprised if any qb got 4 with the current structure of the league
 
I wanted Rams to win, but watching a classic Brady comeback was nostalgic. And, it's best he goes out here rather than losing a CG or SB. He had the look of a guy who might be okay letting it all go. He didn't have the anger and fire we're used to seeing. I don't know, it might be 50/50 that he hangs it up.

True, but all in all, he was one of the only guys holding it together. He put them in ideal position to win like four times.

They are 30 mil UNDER the cap and can upgrade at positions currently held by JPP who is simply cooked at this point. They are no where NEAR a tear down. In 2023 they might be. Not next year. Next year is still wide open.

At least they did beat Miami amirite
 
You cannot intentionally not score that TD when you have no timeouts and there’s 45 seconds left. Don’t be dumb. They’d have to spike the ball and if they run and lose yards they have to SCRAMBLE to run another play. If they had timeouts it would be different. They didn’t. They needed to score there. Imagine if there’s a tackle for a loss on the play and the clock is quickly ticking. You cannot risk it.
we’re talking about at the goal line here, not at the 10yd. players don’t have to “scramble” when there’s no where to go
 
Todd Bowles, what a joker. How do you call a corner blitz in that situation? Wasted an all time comeback. The Rams tried very hard to lose that game.

Epic choke job by Bowles to call a cover zero blitz. McVay made him pay dearly, and that's how you saw Kupp end up being covered by a safety.

DE , IOL OT and CB are the biggest needs I would say IOL and CB highest bc Barrett and tryon might work.
