We've been in situations where we've dug out of holes (2019 postseason & NE playoff game). We've been to two SB's. Got one win. So we've got experience.
We've got leadership and one of the best coaches.
Which AFC QB is better than Mahomes? And which team is flawless? No such team exists in this league.
I don't love the leadership to be honest. I mean, you have immature Hill, Mathieu, Kelce likes to run his mouth with Jones predicting "6 or 7 Super Bowls", etc.
I also think, for whatever reason, they looked past TB last year in the SB just assuming they'd win. We've seen this before, is all I am saying. A lot of teams have been 1 year "dynasties" the last decade or so.
I do have mad respect for Mahomes, Reid, etc, and I love Jones's game, but I think you're in trouble a bit after this year. Your LT isn't that good which is why Baltimore didn't want to pay him (not that they could with the Lamar Problem hanging), you overpaid in crazy fashion for Thuney as much I loved him while here, and waited to pay all the players whether it be Hill, Jones, etc. And, Veach traded picks for Clark and Clark is overpaid. So, you're all in and you're 1-1 in SBs and honestly, Mahomes wasn't good in either one.
When his salary goes up more next year, it will be a problem. Buffalo has that issue now, Baltimore probably will as will Cleveland. The latter two may be scared you know what to do it. As great as Mahomes is, 40 million per year is really dumb.
IMO, the AFC has a lot of competition with KC, Cleveland, Buffalo, NE, Pitt, Baltimore, etc. Our team is on the front of a build here early in the season and has a lot of work to do, but you saw what the Pats D did last year with no offense vs your team. BB has KC's number in terms of slowing them down. He did it in 2019, too, where the zebras got involved in the 4th, but they totally outplayed KC in the 4th in that game.
There are a lot of teams that can go toe to toe with yours, so it's not a slam dunk that your run just automatically continues. And, believe me, we know how crappy it is to lose a game with a fumble at the end like that. It's a killer.
Agree, Mahomes is clearly the best QB and all teams have a flaw or two (or more).
