 Yes, evidenced by all the Lombardi’s he had before Mahomes.

It doesn’t when you rest them in Week 18 and have the BYE Week 1 of the playoffs

I really wanted a Super Bowl I didn’t care who won.

 

Oh well.

Mahomes, Reid and most of that team used to be so humble. Not anymore. Bad news is they're gonna be dynasty for a long while if Mahomes/Kelce/Reid stay locked in. And now Pachenco. Scary.

Neither does having home field advantage! Or committing absolutely dumb personal fouls!

Yes … even today…  Mahomes completion at the end to ice the game … it’s great stuff in a big game

Evidenced by his 4 consecutive NFC Championship game appearances with McNabb at QB. And then basically repeating the feat with the Chiefs.

 

He’s probably the greatest coach of all time IMO.

As we saw this year, without top notch talent, Mahomes is really good but not other-worldly. Reid is a huge difference maker. 

Coaching. Always ready. 

Expand  

Yeah, they got the QB-Head Coach combo. All we got is the QB. Sean is good, but gets out coached in the playoffs year after year. I am also going to give it to The Chiefs gm. He never misses. I used to put Beane up there with Polian, and now I am not so sure. Love the Kincaid pick, and Cook has been working out, but he has had many blunders with draft picks and FA signings, like Von.

 

I wish The Bills were in the NFC. The AFC is a gauntlet, and like others have mentioned, the combination of Reid and Mahomes is lethal.

Kelce most likely is not playing much longer. Dude is like, 35? He showed up in the playoffs, but has slowed down a bit this year.

It's the same as 13 seconds. We should have advanced both times and more than likely would have advanced to the SB then and now if they would have held on.

It’ll be McD’s legacy

He didn’t have to do anymore though… he had a two score lead during the second half… and then when it became a one score lead the Ravens never saw the ball again.

I just watched the CBS talking heads and the Fox talking heads and no one talked about Jackson's very bad game and very bad playoff record.  I can't believe if Allen had a 2 - 4 playoff record and had 1 TD and 2 TO's in a home championship game they wouldn't be all over the guy. 

 

Expand  

Allen has been incredible in the post season but he’d be roasted alive if he had a game like Lamar did today.

Allen gets roasted alive playing nearly perfect games. It's the most frustrating aspect of this team underachieving.

Will the story line be Kyle cant get the 49ers over the hump?

How many rings with that Eagles run again? My memory is fuzzy in my old age. How many AFCCG did he led KC to before Mahomes? Nevermind any Superbowl appearances.

 

Reid is an excellent coach. But the main reason for KC’s recent success is Mahomes. His talent maximizes Reid’s plays.

Reid and Mahomes are complimentary to one another. That is probably the biggest difference between them and Allen/McD.

Spags figured out how to stymie this year's Lamar. Rush 5 or 6 and make Lamar play fast. When he has forever, those recievers eventually get open long. Not nearly as much today.

So they claim. I doubt it. I don’t believe it’s written anywhere, given that we are never told when the  voters have cast their official choices..

It was a great defensive design.  The Chiefs were very disciplined n their pass rush and didn't get out of their lanes.  And notice that Jackson struggled to hit the open receiver even when he had all day to throw.  And don't forget that the Chiefs #32 dropped an easy INT that hit him right in his hands and Jackson made a spectacular play on the batted ball that should also have been intercepted.

And the Bills find some way to goof up at the end. Whether it's not throwing to Diggs over the middle, or playing a defense that gave the Chiefs the middle of the field field when they had two timeouts left, the Bills give the Chiefs the opportunity to bring their best. I guess you can say I'm still bitter.
