The 2020 Super Bowl pregame thread

The Chiefs are going to be the shortest dynasty in NFL history.

They got away with hitting Mayfield and Allen in the head. The Refs will call it against Brady.

Im wearing my Brady jersey around in KC.

They are butthurt that anyone would dare to not worship the GOAT Mahomes.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Mahomey is the new poster boy. I hope he can wreck the chiefs so called dynasty just like they did with seattle. People are predicting this guy to win the next 5 Super Bowls. Do these idiots there’s something called a salary cap? Kelce is gonna be 32 he will slow down. They will lose watkins this off-season.

I'm pretty sure you wear a Mahomes jersey in Boston or Tampa this week and you're gonna get some grief. Not sure that qualifies at "butthurt". Part of the fun of being NFL fans is banter with other fans of NFL teams.

KC has done a good job drafting recently, Fenton, Sneed, Hardman and Thornhill are all good value players they can depend on for next year, but it's going to start falling apart for them quickly. While the year after next is where there REAL issues will begin, next 2021 won't exactly be a picnic.

They are already projected 18M over. Losing Watkins won't hurt them much TBH. But Reiter at Center will be a blow. Breeland, Ward and Sorenson are 3 of their better DBs who will hit FA. They will lose some key DL depth. Those things are going to all add up to some issues.

Not to mention as the above poster pointed out, Kelce won't be getting any better. And it isn't like they have any easy ways to cut that 18M over the cap. The most obvious is to Extend Mathieu, but that will only get you at most half way there. Fisher might also be open to an extension, but he isn't playing for much less than his 15M cap hit, and with his injury situation that will go well into next year who knows what he'll decide. It wouldn't be a shock if KC just cut him, ate the 3M and went into the season with a hole at that spot. It will be interesting.

Here’s the thing about mahomey. Can he do better with less weapons like brady has? I think he depends a lot on his weapons. This is the best talent brady has had since 2007.

Bucs need to play a lot smarter on offense. The chiefs are well schemed but not particularly talented on D. The Bucs if they tweaked the playcalling to pass more on 1st down to setup runs on short yardage on 2nd and 3rd down (where they can also take shots off play action) would be in a great spot to put up 30+ points without the benefit of turnovers.

That also keeps them out of situations where Spags can be creative with his blitzes, which the Bucs have struggled with schematically and due to lack of coordination at times between Brady and his weapons/protection.

If they can put Brady in favorable spots, his weapons are simply better than the Chiefs cover players. The Bucs just have to avoid those bad situations where the superior firepower doesn’t matter bc Tom is on his back.

How is it that every person on the planet comes to the same conclusion except for Bruce Arians and Byron Leftwich?

Leffwich needs to call a good game plan. Try to see if you can established the run. I’m just amazed at how many people are picking the chefs like the Bucs are chopped liver. Give me their d-line and linebackers over the chefs. Chefs haven’t faced a good d-line. I expect Bowles to have a good game plan defensively.

Chiefs fans are some of the worst in the NFL. In fact, Yahoo Sports voted them 32nd worst and 31st worst in consecutive seasons.

I have been to road games @

Minnesota
New York
St Louis
Indy x 3
Houston
San Diego
Denver x 3
Chicago (Champagne, Ill)
Pittsburgh x 3
Cincinnati x 2
Kansas City x 3

The best were Bears fans. The worst fans are Chiefs fans.

At this point it's on Brady as well. He must have alot of input and if he didn't approve of something I bet they wouldn't put it in. This is speculation of course and he doesn't call plays but I'm sure he has enough sway on the offense. It's the same reason Stafford won't mean anything for LA even if I admire the attempt in getting him. People say it's not him, no defense, no running game, blah blah. Ok, maybe for one season but not 10+. At some point if you have no running game you dink and dunk to substitute for it or find other solutions. He's definitely part of the problem. It's the same thing as playoff Arod. At some point you are what you are. Notice in the NFC championship people said he played great and no one mentioned how he failed to deliver with all the turnovers he got and when the game was on the line. The week before Brady gets turnovers and converts to 7 points and he's almost blamed for it.

 

[Tottie]

Tomorrow is a big deal with the injury report. If AB doesn't practice tomorrow it will be very fair to assume that even if he plays he won't be full go. We've seen many games like this with Gronk and it's not pretty. Godwin better come to play because you can't drop a single 3rd down unless the defense plays lights out but I think the linebackers are going to get torched.

Presumably you know that the Yahoo rankings are not based on fan behavior, but road attendance, social media presence, merchandise purchases etc. And presumably you know that that is because the team was 50 years between super bowls and from one of the smallest markets in the league. That is also assuming you read the Yahoo rankings you refer to.

You could read the bleacher report rankings and see that they rank us #2. Yardbarker ranks us #4. Fox Sports #3. Pretty much any ranking of fans that is not determined by market size will have the Chiefs in the top 10.

Obnoxious is different. If you are interested in who most of the world considers the most obnoxious fans in the NFL, you can google "most obnoxious fans in the NFL" and click on one of the rankings. You'll probably be surprised at #1.

Chiefs tickets are available any time. Winning or losing. I could have gone to the 2018 AFCC for $300, but decided to save my money for the Super Bowl. Ive paid more for post season tickets on a 1 week advanced notice.

To my knowledge, no person has ever been beat to death or come even close at Gillete. You own that one.

Guilty plea in 2013 beating death of Chiefs fan in Arrowhead Stadium parking lot

After a game between the Chiefs and Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on December 1, 2013, a Chiefs fan named Kyle Van Winkle died in the parking lot of blunt force trauma to his head and neck following an altercation with another man who was at the game.

How do you think opposing fans are welcomed when your own fans killed another Chief fan. An associate of mines friends pregnant wife was pelted by ice at a NE vs KC game. I brought my mother to the NE vs KC game in 1997. The game where Adam Vinatieri hit the goal post with a kick ball bouncing out and NE losing. We sat on the 3rd level. Some POS threatened her just minding our own business. If he made 1 move his dumbass was going over the 3rd railing courtesy of me.

Brittany Matthews flips off Patrick Mahomes haters during Chiefs’ win

Hi, haters, Brittany Matthews sees you.

nypost.com

Who on earth flips people off from their luxury box? Ive never heard of an NFL QBs wife of girlfriend doing such a thing.

Best fans in the NFL. Just ask them.

 

[carmelo15]

This is interesting basically let KC drive on you and not beat you long. Tampa playing KC and getting humiliated in that quarter was the best thing to happen to them this year. Second half they adjusted to what the video says more coverage less blitz and held them to7 points in the half. Imagine if they came into the super bowl with that firsft half plan they would’ve been dead on arrival. Now with KC injuries on the line and Vea being back it will be even easier for Tampa to stay in coverage and not blitz as they should get pressure with the four men rush

To say that I’m disappointed you didn’t catch my drift would be an understatement.

I dont do the rankings. I just refer you to them. Im a season ticket holder and i have never seen any fight at stadium. And ive never seen opposing fans mistreated that werent also actively misbehaving. There are a lot of people and a lot of alcohol at ant nfl game so yes there is bad behavior occasionally. I imagine if you or i took the time to google fan fight at gillette we could find some examples.

Im not saying we are the best. There are lots of good fan bases, patriots included.
