Flores is getting too cute here. He's made a lot of mistakes, but he is still a promising coach. This is just goofy, though. As Socrates used to say on Twitter: "If you have 2 offensive coordinators, you don't have any."

There is no scenario in which I would trade Josh Allen. Football is a game that is so dependent on chemistry and team culture. It's not the NBA or NHL where you're one of a few guys on the court, and a supremely talented player can elevate a team in the way that having the best center in NFL history on a bad team won't. Watson is no upgrade over Allen, in my book. Both are exciting young QBs. Also, you never know how a player will mesh with a new team. The Bills need to focus on acquiring 350 pound men with anger issues to play OL/DL.

I look forward to the GOAT talk in the years to come if Mahomes wins Sunday and keeps playing this way going forward. Reid will be in the GOAT conversation 100% for sure if the Chiefs go back to back and he coaches that team for another 5-7 years (he is 6 years younger than Belichick now) and picks up another 2-3 rings along the way. His system and schemes work, and have for 20+ years. Now he has a truly elite passer at QB for the first time ever. If he coaches another 6-7 years he will be in the top 3 winningest head coaches of all time, maybe even ahead of Belichick. How could Reid and Mahomes end up with 4 (for example) and be the GOATs? Well, people compare Brady's 6 titles to Jordan's, as if there aren't 9 players in NBA history with more titles than Jordan. If GOAT is just about rings then Bill Russell is the GOAT of all GOATs. 11 rings in 13 seasons played.

I just hope COVID doesn't ruin the Super Bowl.

Reid went to a Super Bowl with McNabb, went to the playoffs almost every year with different QBs on 2 different teams in 2 conferences, and has a very successful coaching tree including McDermott. To me that means his system and techniques are successful and adaptable. Belichick has made the playoffs once as a HC without Tom Brady as his QB, back when he was with the Browns. As a head coach, he was and now is totally mediocre to bad in terms of W/L without Tom Brady. Belichick also has no coaching tree to speak of, other than Saban who owns college football. He won 2 Super Bowls as an assistant on Parcells staff. Reid won a Super Bowl as an assistant on Holmgren's staff. Obviously Belichick is a great coach, but when all is said and done this is going to be a debate. Reid will very likely come close to or even pass him in career wins. If Reid racks up a few rings along the way things are going to be very interesting. Don't forget Reid is 6 years younger, and the Chiefs are red hot and rolling, whereas NE is a mess. Reid likely won't get 6 rings, but he has a good chance of passing Belichick on the career wins list and he will have won more than half of those games with McNabb and Alex Smith as his QBs. The vast majority of Belichick's wins will be with Brady at QB. It's going to get interesting. People has this idea that there was some secret magic to Belichick, that he was smarter than every other coach. Turns out Tom Brady had quite a bit to do with it.

I want some monsters on the OL/DL PLEASE get at least one 340+ pound guy with the attitude and mindset of Feliciano. Oliver would benefit from a gigantic DT taking on blocks. Star will help, but he is a little slight at only 315 pounds, assuming that number is correct. My wish list includes the 360 pound DT from Florida (Slayton) to put next to Oliver and Aaron Banks, the 330 pound guard from Notre Dame. Both would add some size and tenacity to the lines.

I wouldn't be interested in watching that game. The victory would be hollow, and a loss would suck even worse. Plus, imagine a guy getting hurt in a game that had zero meaning.

After all the crap that was dumped on Andy Reid for "not being able to win the big one" it's fun to see Belichick unable to compete while the big man coaches in Super Bowls. It's ALMOST like having the greatest QB of the past 25 years inflated Belichick's legacy a bit... Keep this in mind: Andy Reid was winning all along with different guys, he just wasn't winning the Super Bowl. Belichick loses Brady and the team is so hopeless that the Lions QB refused to go there. To New England, where "all they do is win."

At 6'6'' and 320 pounds, I would like to see him add 20 pounds this offseason. I would recommend that he stay in town and spend February and March sampling the local food scene.

I don't love the idea of Ford at RT. RG maybe, but not tackle. I would definitely re-sign Feliciano because of his versatility and the role he plays bringing some personality to the OL. He isn't going to cost a ton of $$. Williams depends on the $$ he will command, I think. We might get lucky with teams strapped for cash and get him back for another 1 year deal with the idea that he can cash in next season when there's more $$ to be had. That allows us time to draft and develop a guy at tackle.

Stafford ending up with with McVay is about the best thing that could have happened for him. Happy for the guy after so many years of misery in Detroit. Rams are going to be dangerous. Not having the 1st round picks is tough, but that team is stacked right now and will just need to hit on their 2nd rounders.

Well... I wouldn't pay him top dollar for a LB. Our LB corps was far from scary. Can't blame the man for wanting to get paid. It's a short career and he knows how one injury at the wrong time could cost you tens of millions of dollars. Use the $$ to re-sign Feliciano and maybe even Williams on the OL.

I only really see 2 outcomes: Most likely: a convincing Chiefs win Also possible: a close Bucs win If it's close at the end then the refs can play a huge role, and that is where you are in mortal danger vs Brady. You make the big stop on 3rd down to get Mahomes the ball! ................................................................. but wait! a flag comes in 5 seconds later from 40 yards downfield from the back judge and it's victory formation time due to a ticky tack PI that they haven't called all game! The Bucs are going to give KC their best shot early to try to get out ahead, so if KC weathers that storm and gets to halftime with a lead then they will win by 10+

Gase built an entire career off of sending play suggestions to Peyton Manning for Peyton to either take or ignore. He could end up as Campbell's kneecap biter in Detroit!

What's the cemetery part? Every place I click it just says "and a cemetery..." Is he buying Tre a cemetery?

So Watson would cost 11 first round picks

I think it's an incredible chance to hit a home run. I think Watson is very good, but he's not Mahomes. He's a very good QB, but I'm not getting too carried away. If Watson really wants to be traded, here's a chance to cash in on a team that is desperate for a QB, get a ton of assets in return, and give yourself a shot to build the roster the way you want. I still love the idea of a Falcons/49ers/Texans trade: Texans get: Jimmy G, 4th overall pick (Atlanta), 12th overall pick (49ers) and Atlanta's 1st in 2022 Atlanta gets: Watson 49ers get: Matt Ryan Everyone comes out pretty good there. Texans get 2 picks in the top 12 this year, plus another 1st next year and a decent to good starting QB who they all know from their time in NE. Atlanta gets Watson by only giving up 2 1sts (Ryan would be gone anyway) and Shanahan reunites with Matt Ryan for a run in SF and only has to give up a 1st. If you're the Texans you just hit the jackpot and got rid of a headache/ PR mess. You've got your 65 year old first time HC and a TV preacher for a VP, but you might just luck into something good if you can hit on those 2 1sts this year with Jimmy G in the fold as well. Maybe you even get a 3rd or 4th for Watt while you're at it. The Texans, if they are smart and don't allow egos to cloud their judgement, don't lose a thing, and in fact, could make quite the profit from moving Watson.

Contract or not, the player always wins. Go ahead and try to dig in. Do you really want to go to war with your star QB? Egos are bad for business, and it sounds like the Texans are a disaster. I could see the Texans digging in, thing getting worse, and then trading him for less than they could get today. Carson Palmer went through this with the Bengals. The owner swore he would never trade Carson. Later, they did trade him, for less than they would have received earlier on when more teams could be in on the bidding.

Agreed. It's good for the league for the young guys to build their star power. Enough with Brady. Mahomes and the Chiefs beating Brady in this game is huge for the legacy of Mahomes and Reid. That's what I want to see.

I bet he goes to SF. Out of conference, the NE guys running the Texans know Jimmy G, and SF could include a player to sweeten the deal. Texans never have to face Watson to get to the Super Bowl (not really an issue but to their thinking it might be)

This has a chance of looking like the Atlanta/NE SB, without the comeback. Just a good old fashioned, mid 80's domination that is totally 1 sided.

Chiefs will win by 10 Their defense is fast and gets pressure with the DL. Brady has been air mailing the ball downfield hoping for a big play or a flag. As soon as Green Bay started to come back he just started lobbing up gifts, throwing a pick on 3 consecutive drives. Green Bay was getting some pressure, but their DL is nothing like KC's pass rushers. Bucs have not really had to consistently drive the ball these playoffs. Yes, they make some plays, but they are not a consistent offense. They live and die on the big turnover that sets them right up for a score. Both the Saints and especially the Packers gift-wrapped them free TDs by either totally blowing a coverage (GB before half) or fumbling right in their own end (GB right after half) that gave the Bucs 14 free points. So, all that said, if KC plays the way they can on offense and scores 30+ there is going to be a ton of pressure on the Tampa passing game to keep up, and Brady will toss picks that will sink their chances. The only wild card is Tampa's defense hits hard and plays a little dirty, so Mahomes better protect himself. Brady simply will not take a hit. He'll just drop and live to play another down if there is pressure.

Is he a big, sloppy 350+ DT or OL who is filled with rage?

True, but Doug Pederson beat Belichick in the Super Bowl, as did Coughlin twice.

I posted this in the Culley to Houston thread, but it makes more sense to pose here because it's about what this game means for Andy Reid's legacy. Colin Cowherd posed a question yesterday that I thought was nuts at first, but now I'm not 100% sure. IF Reid ends up winning 4-5 Super Bowls, including a back to back, is he in the GOAT conversation 10 years from now? Reid is only 62 now, and has said he wants to coach another decade. It's pretty well known that he'll coach the Chiefs until he is 100% totally done with coaching forever. This is what he has worked his entire career for. There's a lot in Reid's favor. He's only 62, 6 years younger than Belichick. He's currently 6th all-time in regular season wins, only 5 behind Lambeau, who he will pass next season. Belichick is only 59 wins ahead of Reid in 3rd place all-time. If Reid coaches for 5 years after Belichick retires (and being younger by 6 years and in an amazing spot makes that possible) then Reid could very well end up ahead of Belichick on the all-time wins list, especially with the 2 teams the way they are now. Let's say in 2021 KC wins 5 more games than NE and Belichick calls it quits or is let go there in a "mutual parting" (it's not as crazy as it sounds). Now the margin is 54 games, which means if Reid coaches 5 more years after next and averages 11 wins per year he finishes with 1 more win that Belichick all-time. Total wins is going to end up a LOT closer between the 2 than it might seem before looking into it. Super Bowl wins as a HC is probably always going to be Belichick, because he banked a few when he was much younger. He was only in his late 40's/early 50's when he won his first, second, and third Super Bowls. However, if Reid goes back to back here and picks up another 2 over the course of the next 8-10 years, it gets very interesting. 4 in 10 years vs 6 in 20 years. IF that happens, Reid would have a higher winning % in the Super Bowl (4-1) than Belichick (6-3). Then there's the coaching trees. Reid's coaching tree is MUCH more impressive than Belichick's. Hopefully by then McDermott will have joined the list of Reid assistants who have won a Super Bowl as a head coach. Today, sure, it's not a discussion. Even if Reid and KC go back to back here it's still not. But 5-10 years from now it could get very interesting, especially seeing how Brady keeps winning and Belichick's team is a disaster. Reid won (although not the super Bowl but he got there) with McNabb, a lot of games with Alex Smith, and won it all with Mahomes. 2 different teams in 2 different conferences with 3 different QBs. Big Red just keeps racking up the W's. Belichick has never won without Brady. If KC 3 peats then things get interesting 1 year from now, but for obvious reasons I don't even want to think about that!
