everyone wants to dog Tomlin but he got to 2 Super Bowls and won 1 with a HOF QB. Compare that to getting to 2 AFC Title Games and winning zero with a future HOF QB.

It's one thing to know it's going to happen, but seeing it in print just hits different

Mahomes had the chance to catch Brady but blew it in the Tampa SB. If KC won that won the ring race would be 6-4 in favor of Brady right now, with Mahomes only being 29. Interestingly, Brady had only won 3 Super Bowls when he was 37.

IMO the issue is the Chiefs aren't used to adversity. Same thing happened in the Tampa Super Bowl. As lopsided as that game became, early on Mahomes was under tremendous pressure, but when he did make throws then guys dropped the ball or didn't make a play when there were opportunities. Suddenly instead of 1st and 10 they're punting and it snowballs. When your offense is only getting 3 plays a drive you aren't going to get anything done and the DL is going to eat. WR and TW need to make the catch when the QB gets it out but that didn't happen in either SB loss for them. In the Tampa SB you had the play where Mahomes was horizontal in mid air, throwing a perfect pass into the endzone for what should have been a TD and the WR dropped it. That's what happens when you really pressure KC. They crumble under it (IMO) because they are not accustomed to needing to battle to move the ball. The other issue is that THAT was their chance and they didn't convert. They get tight. Once the Philly game was over they all of a sudden start throwing it deep, whereas Mahomes passed up the deep throws when they were possible when it still a game.

he looks ancient out there now... He's done whether he retires or not. Can't play our defense every week.

sadly that's an issue

I would need to see some longevity. Getting to 2 Super Bowls in such a short span is pretty impressive, though. IMO it's as much or more about the fact that the Eagles are a Pro Bowl roster on both sides of the ball with excellent coordinators.

If Siriani can get to 2 and win one McDermott can too. I think it's as much about the Eagles roster and fantastic coordinators as anything Siriani does. Load up the roster and McDermott can certainly get it done.

Rodgers to the Steelers makes a lot of sense. Titans or Raiders? Why even bother. He would be better off going to an NFC South team where you can win 6 games and still win the division.

After last night I don't think it's crazy that Allen and Mahomes end up with the same # of rings by the time they retire. Mahomes isn't getting to 7. Sorry Chiefs fans. He might get 1 or 2 more over the next 10-12 seasons. But Lamar, Josh and Burrow will have something to say about him continuing to play in the SB.

when you watch old film of the Marino, Kelly, Elway, Montana days... yikes! QBs would throw the ball, then 2 seconds later some DL would piledrive them into the turf. It looks like a totally different game. Marino was interviewed Super Bowl week and said it himself. Guys from his era would have stayed a lot healthier and played a lot longer if QB protections existed back then.

Beane and McDermott asked Epenesa to "slim down" (just google it, you'll see plenty of references to it) after Beane talked about loving his measurables on draft night. This scheme and philosophy are the problem. Eagles attack and prize big, physical linemen on both sides of the ball. On D we seem to want quick smaller guys, and the scheme is to sit back, keep the game in front of you, come up to make tackles and don't give up anything big. Wait for the QB to make a mistake, or the OL to hold, or someone to drop a pass. and it works a lot, until you play elite teams. I want my 350 lb DT this year in the draft! 340 is fine too, because he can put the work in at the cafeteria to get where he needs to be.

Mahomes hasn't been running a dangerous looking offense for a while now

I said after the trophy!

Is it just me or did the end feel anti climactic? Took forever to get that confetti going

Mike Periera sounds so defeated

Rooting for the shutout

This is the end of the dynasty. Going forward AFC West is a tough division and even the Raiders might be tough. Burrow. Lamar. Josh. All in the way. Plus other plucky teams that could pop up. Next year is our year.

Chiefs are going to go 3 and out this drive and then the dam breaks.

Chiefs have 1 first down total.

Brady is breathing easier now Mahomes getting 4 tonight with a 3 peat would make things a little uncomfortable. Now he's still got a 4 ring lead with a loaded AFC where other guys will get theirs

It took the Falcons doing literally everything wrong and also having every bounce go against them and the Patriots still almost didn't have time to tie it.

The Rams were driving for the win against these Eagles in the Divisional round. That's crazy.

Plus it took Ryan fumbling deep in his own zone to set NE up for a quick score. Atlanta still got the ball down to the 20 with around 3 minutes to go up 8 still Ended up punting. It took an almost comically inept game management to get NE back in it and even then they scored at the very end.

Chiefs WR hands have turned to stone That's the last bit
