Here we go folks. It's starting. Everybody is going to spend the next 8 months ignoring what they watched with their own eyes and boil it all down to one player.
They literally did stop him for most of the game?? What do you want the 49ers to have even more weapons than they already do?
I mean they picked off Mahomes at midfield in an all time stupid throw. 100% guaranteed if it were the Bills the 49ers would have scored a TD and everyone would say "that one's on Allen." Instead the Chiefs defense held them to 0 points. That's why they just won another Super Bowl.
If you're gonna give up so much free access, 100% of the time Andy Reid will just have his pass catchers run 6 yards and turn around. Over and over again. I hate that teams let them get away with it.
No player is as important as the elite QB. But I'll phrase your point like this - the difference between Chris Jones and the best defensive lineman on the Bills is the biggest difference between our teams over the past few years. If I had a choice between replacing Allen for Mahomes or replacing Oliver for Jones, it's a no-brainer.
But if both teams score the same points on their first drive, the team that received first just needs a FG to win. It's not college rules where it keeps going back and forth.
