OT: The Chiefs had "Super Bowl fatigue"

[ctpatsfan77]

After Super Bowl meltdown, is window closing for Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs? | FOX Sports

The Chiefs went from being on the cusp of history to looking like a team in decline within 60 minutes on Sunday night. What does their future hold?

Before the game, a Chiefs coach told me that media members had been asking him if going to Super Bowls ever got old. And he bluntly told me: "It does." There was legit Super Bowl fatigue from this Chiefs team. It was completely clear in the first half, when things escalated quickly.

What an absolute embarrassment to professional sports. Yet another reason why Mahomes and the Chiefs aren't fit to lace Brady's jock.

And the river of excuses is starting to flow...

 

[Ross12]

lol yeah I’m sure. “They didn’t really beat us this bad, we were just like… really tired… you know, from last year’s Super Bowl… and the one before that!”

That was a HUGE loss for the ChiRefs. They went from being talked about as the greatest dynasty ever to 6th place all time.

I put the Pats dynasty ahead of the Steelers below because the Pats did it all with the same QB and HC.

KC may catch the Pats at some point but the Mahomes talk should go away. He needs to catch Montana just to reach a tie for 2nd.

It's been so glorious - all the Brady love this past week. Watching the Chiefs get their doors blown off was delicious. Having Brady announcing it was the cherry on top. Even better is Nick Wright's tears.

How long does it take to recover from Superbowl fatigue? Asking for a friend, is it 6 years?

 

[1960Pats]

What I find most interesting is that a KC coach reportedly said that it gets old going to the SB. He may never have to go again.

I would move the Pats up 1... and really, the browns down one or two spots... reason being is the Browns won their first four championships in the AAFC... the AAFC was an 8 team league in the first three years of its existence and a seven team league in its last year of existence...

If we are going to count the record & fact book of the AAFC, which the NFL doesn't recognize, then the Dolphins are not the first or only team to go undefeated, it would be the 1948 Browns who also went unbeaten/untied... 14-0 in the regular season, 1-0 in the championship game...

I understand the greatness of Paul Brown & Otto Graham as one of the best Coach/QB combinations, but that should be taken into account... but thats just me... its your list and ymmv on that one...

Tourch not passed.

I’ve never seen a team or quarterback get more excuses than KC and Mahomes. the dude gets an excuse for every playoff loss

Dee Ford (NE)
Offensive line (TB)
Concussion (CIN)
Offensive line (PHI)

it’s NEVER his fault

not even Manning got this many excuses. sure, he was loved by the media and fans and got excuses, but I also saw him get killed by A LOT of people after playoff losses

I dunno. As a fan base, from 05-19 we've manufactured our fair share of excuses for why we fell short in the playoffs and in SBs.

With that said. With the exception of 07, fatigue was never one of them

Those were not excuses or tied to conspiracy theories... They were all unbiased, completely rational explanations for why we fell short.

 

[Ross12]

Funny part about claiming “SB fatigue” because they went to 3 is that the Eagles were also there for 2 out of those 3, and they didn’t look very fatigued.

Many people are saying it was the worst performance of Mahomes career.

“Asterisk”

“Asterisk”

“No Travis Kelce” lmao, I watched the Super Bowl and having Travis Kelce seemed like more of a hindrance than an advantage

 

[RobertWeathers]

Through the 1st 3 quarters no question.

He was really bad vs TB in that SB

 

[Huckleberry1]

On a more positive note, the Patriots are now fully rested from their Super Bowl fatigue.
