Can’t help but compare (I know, I’m going to be yelled at) with Josh who came out after the AFCCG and put the blame on himself.

To be fair, on this and this alone, I think she actually has point. I thought it was going to be her running down Josh but maybe the constant comparisons isn’t the healthiest of things to do. (Goes to another thread and starts comparing players)

I’m not sure if this will work in the US but I can’t find a YouTube version of it - link to Sky Sports’ tribute to Chris which aired before the Super Bowl: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/12212051/around-the-nfl-remembers-chris-wesseling

We need to be able to switch to the run, though. The Bucs ability to swing between the two yesterday kept the Chiefs defense on it's toes - the same cannot be said of our game against them.

And this resulted in me loving the game but finding it infuriating - finally the calls are being made but why now? Why not earlier? Forget our game, what about the helmet to helmet in the Browns match up?

Going back to the opening question - no.

Mahomes is still better than Josh but, as indicated by many experts even after the Championship game the gap isn't nearly as large as some wanted to make out. A few of us, including me, had a slight wobble after that game even though Josh hardly disgraced himself - but yesterday showed what happens to a Quarterback when their OL disappears, and Mahomes didn't look any better than Josh. Indeed, thanks to experience, Josh seems far more comfortable behind a non-existent OL than Mahomes.

His last Pats win, definitely, last night the offense had as much of a role as the defense.

Yeah; I think it was in the script for Mahomes to win last year though. Not so sure about this year.

Be thankful the Chiefs made the Superbowl? We'd be hurting more if Brady was getting the calls against us. The Chiefs seem to have the measure of the Bucs offense now; let's see how the latter changes things.

These flags against the Chiefs are hilarious. But where were they two weeks ago???

Let's be honest, the Bucs have looked to buy the Superbowl this year. Their offense is insane if it clicks - Brady, Gronk, Evans, Goodwin, Miller, Fournette, Brate... so many possibilities there.

The Bucs need a TD from this play, though. The Chiefs will surely regroup and get it together at half time if not before.

I was reading one article yesterday that spelt out that Josh wasn't outclassed by Mahomes. There was differential elsewhere but the Quarterback play was hardly MVP v Rookie.

Through a punch against us - nothing. Look funny at a Bucs player - flag. Not that I'm complaining... much.

And even if he fumbled it's not as if the Chiefs would have gained much on a turnover.

And the TB defense seemingly suddenly forget to double up on Hill.

Just replaying it on the UK coverage - one angle looks short, another angle looks good. The pundits seem pretty sure it is short, though.

Now, will Ariens do a McDermott.

Brady's got an elite offense around him; no way would he have reached the Superbowl with the Patriots this year.

If Josh had a run game like this we could well be playing tonight instead of the Chiefs. Well that, or we would have lost by three instead of 14.

The game's so much tougher when you can't just do what you want to halt plays.

One holding call is enough; it makes the defense aware they're being watched.

We need variation on both sides of the ball. We're getting there but without the variation we won't get over the line. KC look human though, and that's all we can hope for heading into the off season.

Tony Romo: This team likes to hold... You don't say.
