Passing of the tourch.


I don't know why everyone on this board take this so harshly.

You won, we lost, I did call that ahead of time and am on record in a different thread

You have the best coaching staff in the history of football

You have the best schemes in the history of football

You consistently win all the time and most consider one of the best franchises in the history of the NFL.

You had one of the best QB's in the history of the NFL.

Saying the torch has been passed from a 41 year old to a 23 year old who did what he did this year isn't a negative, its simply a fact. Nothing to be upset about or feel bad about, just pointing out the obvious. I'm not saying Brady is average, just saying he is no longer elite, he is more of a game manager now, no different from when Peyton won a few years back, it was his defense, game plan etc.

Brady has carried the torch a long time and been very good, this is just the passing to the next greatest QB. Good luck in the SB

Yeah Brady is playing just like Peyton Manning in 2015. Enjoy your gut wrenching loss. Looking forward to the same story next year.

"Had one of the best" QBs in NFL history? You mean HAVE THE BEST QB in NFL history. By the way, I heard that Brady has an eye on passing his "torch" to Baker Mayfield in a couple years. But your boy Mahoney probably can enter the sweepstakes by staying healthy and continuing to do well.
 
Spoke briefly with Chief.




He said this definitely ain't it.
 
So if you look at the thread I started I pretty much called this game right on with a 34-31 Pats win. Obviously looking at the game it could of been a toss up either way coming down to that last minute and then a coin flip. But to the Pats credit they won and are off to the super bowl.

BUT in watching the game live it just looked like the torch as been passed. Mahomes looks much better and more well rounded, can make all the throws and keeps a very level head. I think he has a lot of Brady intelligence with the farve or rogers arm talent. Our Defense is just awful, I mean like "All Time Historic Bad" defenses to ever play football. We all thought Berry would help but really did nothing to help.

But just couldn't help watching Brady dink and dunk down the field for most of the evening that his time is about done. Watching Mahomes shows you what the future of the NFL will be for the next 15 plus years. I'm glad Brady gets his one last swan song and we will see what he does in the super bowl, I think you have just as good a chance beating them as you did us so your odds look good.

But to most people around the country ( the QB cannot control defense) it was a pretty easy to see passing of the torch. Mahomes will carry it well into the next 15 years and thanks for a good game guys.
PM hasn't done squat yet. Never base your future on what 'Might' happen.

If and when he gets there, then you can talk.

...and TB isn't going anywhere for awhile.
so you've got that going for you.:)

And one more thing.
We just showed the blue print on how to beat PM too the rest of the world.
 
You are too funny! You are right even with him offsides he couldn't get to Brady which is my point exactly. Him lining up offsides or not makes zero difference on the play, then Brady throws the pick game over chiefs win. Thank you for understanding what I'm saying!

Sadly for you, it doesn't work that way. They don't wait, decide if it made a difference in the play and THEN decide whether to enforce a rule in fraction.

For that matter, for all you know, Brady saw the flag, knew he had a free play and that caused in interception.

I notice you don't seem to care much about the blatant pick play KC ran that resulted in a touchdown.
 
Also doesn't seem to care about the blatant mugging of Gronk.
 
To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Something mahomes has yet to do in 2 tries

he did beat him Dee Ford is a nob, otherwise yes he beat him.... Even the most level headed Pats fan can agree with that...
 
What I really wonder is what the Pats would be favored by if Mahomes was their QB for this game? My guess would be 10.5 points, what say you?

Dear IRRATIONAL Chiefs fan: Your team lost. No "torch" has been passed. Enjoy your off-season.

Your name is slightly ironic as well..


How did he beat him? Your Offense is stacked and our D held you in the First half to ZERO points.

Mahomes is good, but he has not had the torch passed to him...

For this one game next Sunday and the next 1-2 years there is no way I'd take anyone over Brady.

Once we are getting in the 3-5 year outlook Mahomes has the advantage of youth. If potential retirement / age was not a factor I'd take Brady over Mahomes every time.
 
Queefs fan is still here complaining? Come on, kid. Find something else to do, something productive.

Exactly. Hope he watches the pro bowl to see all his great players do circus tricks.
 
Look not trolling just telling it like it is and you guys have to agree on this. I mean its so obvious just with the eye test, Mahomes is now leaps and bounds better than Brady. I mean its like a freshman vs varsity QB. Look even if we say Brady is the second best QB, which is probably is not anymore, but just saying he is, the gap between he and Mahomes is so big you can drive Texas thru it.

Look you have better coaching and at the end of the day that is what pushed you ahead, you deserved it, the Hoodie is better than anyone else.

I just can't believe that you guys don't think the Torch has been passed "strickly" at the QB level. It will not pass at the coaching level until Bel retires. Crazy your still holding onto that with Brady. having the second best QB is still better than 30 other teams.

We can agree Mahomes had a better statistical season .

If we agree the #1 purpose of a QB is to win games and not fantasy football, we can agree he has not surpassed Brady.

If you needed to win a game to save your life you would pick Tom.

You can stop now.

Win something then you can talk "tourch". Your boy got massive help with that illegal pick play and Kelce's OPI not called, totally different game without those.. But yea you Chiefs fans keep crying about the RTP (Edelman mugged) and CORRECTLY called NZI on Ford.

Gtfo of here dude, we're onto the Rams. No one cares about your apparent need for validation.
