Bet the house. There is no way KC wins this game now. Gut feeling.

It could... Especially because Andy Reid had nothing to do with what happened, yet he will get criticism from many because it was his "kid."

I honestly don't think so. We'll see, but I feel badly for Mahomes. The guy is following Brady's methods for prep, focus, and diet (he has even said that he wants to play into his 40's like Brady and is following many of TB12's methods) and this idiot coach creates a massive problem right before the Super Bowl. It certainly doesn't help the Chiefs. I think it's going to throw them off their game, while TB is quiet, focused, and ready.

It's sad all around, and I agree with those who say you can't say it's Andy Reid's fault. This guy is not a "kid." He's in his mid-30's for crying out loud. Andy is trying to give him a structured environment and a career option so that he can get himself together. I can't fault Andy Reid for this. That said, Britt has seriously injured a child, likely cost his father a legacy defining win, hurt his father's reputation, cost his players (who look to him as a coach for leadership) a title, and ruined a solid and well-paying career due to his actions. I don't agree with or like the rush to judgement on Andy Reid as being a "bad father" or "enabling" his son. Anyone who has dealt with someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol understands how powerful and destructive both can be. There is no "magic fix" like "if he just was around more" or "if he just disciplined them more." It doesn't work that way.

I hope the kid is OK, first and foremost. As far as the game goes, Dee Ford and now Britt Reid have each cost Mahomes a ring. Instead of a possible 3 peat tomorrow he'll have 1 to show for this run. It's amazing how often teams get to this point and just can't keep it together for a few more days. Brady sent his family away for 2 weeks so he could sit in the dark, get kitten blood transfusions and drink avacado milkshakes. So we get to hear how he is "super human" simply because he is focused, dialed in and professional while his opponents are idiots who can't focus. It is the lock of all locks. KC is going to lose. Brady once again benefits from another team's total stupidity.

Quinnen. It's a big trade package, but realistic I think. Gives the Texans #2 overall this year, 3 solid roster players with some term left and no dead cap if they want to move them for other picks/players, and a 2022 #1 pick, which could likely be high as well. Jets get Watson and have the cap room to absorb the dead cap from the trade.

Good points, and I think it will happen with Mahomes. That team is not going to stop winning any time soon. Ditto with Andy Reid. Now he has his QB. People like to say "what's his record against Belichick, head to head?" as if Reid wasn't going in with a huge disadvantage at QB for most of those games. Belichick had Brady the entire time, while Reid had McNabb, Kevin Kolb, and Alex Smith at QB. And he still got over on NE and Brady/BB a few times, even blowing them out in NE. Reid has won the vast majority of his games as HC without Mahomes. Belichick had Brady for most of his wins. Now Reid has his QB, and it lines up with him having learned and improved as a HC all these years. It's perfect timing. We're going to look back in 7-8 years and Reid is going to be over 300 wins, good enough for at LEAST top 4 all-time in HC wins and maybe even ahead of Belichick by then.

That's pretty cool to hear, and it's nice to see a guy like Zimmer get some press. I hope the Bills keep him around for next season.

KC needs to start fast this game. They have a tendency to sputter early on in games. If KC starts quick and puts some 7's up this will get ugly. If Tampa can keep the game close or even get up a bit early they have an excellent chance to win, because then the refs become a factor, and all it takes is one perfectly timed PI call to set Tampa right up to either kill the clock or score a TD.

I'm with you; I was being facetious with the "greatest athlete ever" comment. I was reading one too many "there's almost no comparison with Brady" articles. It's incredible that Bill Russell is just sitting there with 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons and nobody even cares to mention him in the GOAT conversation. THAT is dominance. At least Jordan has come out and said Russell is the real GOAT. I guess since it was a long time ago they don't count as much... Patriots fans better prepare for the same thing!

I don't see it with Darnold. Not a fan at all. Look at a kid like Stafford. Tough as nails. Puts up the stats every season on hopeless teams. Took the Lions of all organizations to the playoffs 3 different seasons. Plays hurt all the time. Has the mental toughness to deal with perpetual losing without cracking. Hardly ever misses time. Darnold has missed a lot of time and just seems lost and/or mentally beaten down. Now, he's in a terrible spot. But still, some guys keep plugging away (Stafford, Carr) and others like Darnold just seem to melt. When a guy who has gone through playing on a miserable team like Stafford finally gets a shot on a good team with a real coach, watch what happens. He was never broken. Darnold is going to need to be "reconstructed" and that's a low % proposition, IMO.

Carr reminds me of Carson Palmer. Palmer was always the 320 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT and a loss QB. Stats always seemed there but there was something missing. Stafford is this X2. Then, Palmer goes to the Raiders and continues to be the 300+ yards in a loss guy. Finally, he gets to Arizona and all of a sudden he is a top QB in the league and winning tons of games. I see Carr being this on a new team, and I think Stafford is going to be a top 5-7 QB with the Rams. Sometimes guys just need a new team.

The good news is that peoples' memories are short, and the newest is always the best. Which is why the guy who won 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons isn't thought of as the GOAT. That's why this game is huge for those of us who want to change the "Brady is GOAT" conversation. If Mahomes comes up short we're probably stuck, because Mahomes could eventually win 6 and it'll be "yeah but."

Becton, Williams, Darnold and 2 1st round picks for Watson.

If that happens then Reid will be in the GOAT discussion as well. Many don't realize that he is about to break into the top 5 all-time in HC wins. He has said he wants to coach another 10 years. By then, he could easily pass Belichick on the list, and maybe even make a push for #1. It's amazing how thin the line is. Dee Ford lines up correctly and Seattle hands the ball off to Lynch and Brady is 4-4 in the Super Bowl. Instead, because of 2 things he had ZERO control over, except the Ford wiped out his game-losing INT, he is unquestionably the greatest athlete in history in any sport, and there's just no comparison! LOL

I hear ya! With Allen we're going to have a chance!

Carr was in the MVP race a few seasons ago, and hasn't really ever been bad. He just might benefit from a chance of scenery.

Slaton would be amazing!

Don't forget this: early on in the Manning vs Brady debate Big Ben quietly won 2 rings and had another SB appearance while Peyton only had 1 title. I have a gut feeling Allen is going to be the Big Ben type career. While the flashy QBs get all the press, he goes to a couple SBs and wins 1-2. Heck, if Allen goes to 3 Super Bowls and wins 2 I think we'll all be very happy with that!

Me too. If Jordan can be in the NBA GOAT conversation with 5 fewer rings than Russell "because of _____" then the same can apply to football. Heck, LeBron is in the GOAT conversation in the NBA with 4. Then it comes to stats. Statistical records are all temporary, as these young guys like Mahomes are obliterating the record books early on. If he plays until he's 39 or 40 he will hold every single passing record there is. Eventually Brady will be retired and watching his records fall one by one. Mahomes has 114 TDs in his first 3 years. Brady had 69. Does anyone think the game will change to favor the pass less? Help defenses more? Protect QBs less? Brady playing now just delays Mahomes taking over these records by a year or two. If Mahomes averages 38 TD a season (which has been his average) he'll break Brady's record in 12 years, when he is 37. It's amazing what winning more than 1 ring does for a legacy. That's the biggest question make with Mahomes. Is he truly the champion/clutch guy? That remains to be seen.

Sunday is such a swing game for the legacies of Mahomes and Reid. As much as we love Allen, there's a big difference between the 2. If KC wins, the GOAT whispers will begin. They would have a chance to become the first team in NFL history to 3 peat as SB champions, with one of those coming against Brady. Later on, when we're comparing careers, having this W would be enormous for both Mahomes and Reid. To win 5 or 6 titles, you've got to bank a few early on in your career, as Brady did. He went 10 years between SB wins, but stacked them when he did win. On the other hand, with a loss Mahomes drops to .500 in the big game and Reid has a losing record at 1-2. This is likely his only chance to best Brady on this stage. Brady is playing with house money. Even if he gets blown out, it doesn't hurt him at all. He's 43 for crying out loud, against the up and coming superstar QB and team. But for Mahomes, this is enormous.

Oh they would play, and the gushing over how amazing it is that Brady is doing what he is doing when he throws 4 INT, including a pick 6 but still wins 14-10 because the Chiefs have Chad Henne would be nauseating. Remember when it comes to GOAT talk: it's all about the rings and nothing else. Therefore, Bill Russell, who has 11, is the GOAT of the NBA. The man only played 13 seasons, and won the title in 11 of them. That's even more impressive than Brady. The Brady fans on here can only agree that, until Brady wins his 11th ring, it's not a debate. Russell is the GOAT when it comes to major sports leagues in the US.

Marty would have been the perfect choice for the Bills at that time. He wanted the job badly, and he and Nix got along well. But, Ralph (who still called the shots on big decisions) didn't want him, so we ended up with Chan Gailey, who is the "perfectly fine choice" for a team that is hopeless and just treading water. So glad those days of arguing about Fitzpatrick and hearing about what a "guru" Gailey is are over.

OK, no more tests now. Last thing we need is a Chiefs outbreak the night before the SB. It'll go up there with Lynch not getting the ball and and Dee Ford lining up Offside on the game winning INT as things that went the "GOAT's" way.

Depending on QB, Colts could be really tough. I think the AFC comes down to Colts, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens. Also-rans: Titans, Browns Titans do one thing well: hand off to Henry 87 times a game. Browns have Alex Smith version 2.0 at QB. They will win a lot, but never anything big.
