From now on the motto has to be

IN MAHOMES WE TRUST

Mahomes was toying with them to sell ketchup

That Red Sox board is an embarrassment. Every other post is either about Hill, the chop being racist, the Chiefs getting all the calls from the refs, or the occasional commentary that it was disgusting the NFL was being patriotic in the pregame. It’s amazing how out of touch they are in almost every possible way.

The most obnoxious poster I've found in all these forums is a proudly racist Patriots Super-fan Bostonite (his profile picture is of Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting) who is a regular on a San Antonio Spurs fan forum. It was pretty poetic watching his reactions to the Chiefs come back after labeling Patrick an overrated "choker" after the 2nd INT.

Nothing better on a Saturday morning than read through the Super Bowl thread (which I didn't get to follow as it happened). So much joy in here. Made me realize just how special this team is and what a great job Veach did assembling this team.

In the final 6:30 minutes we got:

- Patrick Mahomes masterful execution of Wasp to
- Tyreek Hill making the game changing play leading to
- Travis Kelce TD reception setting up
- Chris Jones deflected pass on 49ers 3-and-out series which set up
- Sammy Watkins reception deep into 49er territory and then
- Damien Williams receiving TD to take the lead and
- Chris Jones deflecting another pass to force
- Frank Clark sacking Garappolo on 4th down setting up
- Damien Williams rushing TD to go up two scores and finally
- Kendal Fuller intercepting Jimmy G to seal the win.

What a complete and total team win.

They also hated his Stone Cold. Hilariously two of Fisher’s most memorable moments came against the Texans LMAO

49ers should not have kicked the bear with those premature celebrations. Pretty dumb.

Doubt the outcome would have been any different.

We need to go and find the exact posts of the first reactions of every one of those plays for easy browsing.

Daface fix your shit! :rolleyes:

If Fisher cant handle Bosa one on one during WASP and several crucial plays.... they never happen. We finally get the first pick in that whole shit draft at least got us this moment and the Stone Cold moment.

We were 11-0 with Fish on the field this year. One of my favorite stats from the season.

So the 49ers having a choreographed celebration in the endzone as if they just won the Super Bowl didn't fire the Chiefs up?

Must be a coincidence then, because after that moment, the Chiefs as a complete team, bitchslapped them.

Yeah, they probably didn't understand the gravity of the moment until that time. "Oh, crap, this is the Super Bowl?!? This is the Super Bowl! Why weren't we previously playing our hardest?!?11

I think you like to argue for the sake of arguing. If you can't see the entire momentum of the game completely changed after the 49ers were showboating in the endzone like the game was over, I don't know what to tell you. :doh!:

Damn, I was being tongue in cheek! Well done, sir!

Everyone shower this man with rep. Even you, BigRedBackyardParty!

Wait? What??!!?:facepalm:

This was my first time reading through the game thread. WTF was up with that? We've come back so many times this season. We came back from 24-0 just a couple of weeks ago. 10 points in the AFCCG. GEEEZZ just throw them under the bus cause they are down 10 points and Mahomes is having a bad day?

We had many long time hard core fans with me watching the game. We were disappointed thats for sure but we never felt it was over or we had no chance.

Watching this in 4K.

Amazing

I totally agree. It's classic Mahomes to only start really trying when people showboat in the end zone after an INT. And given that he was mic'ed up the entire game, we should be able to easily see how much that bothered him and how it inspired WASP and the ultimate comeback.

Except.... we see none of that.

He knows that. He's just being stupid for stupid's sake.

49ers should not have kicked the bear with those premature celebrations. Pretty dumb.

Here is my original post- where do I say Mahomes was not trying? :rolleyes:

I said it was dumb to celebrate like they had the game won- which it was. If you believe it was good for the 49ers to showboat like the game was over with so much time on the clock- to a team that already had two straight epic comebacks, great. Mic'ed up or not- the Chiefs took over the game after that.

You are the one that made a stupid comment after an innocuous observation. :shake:

The 49ers pre-celebration was made into memes all over social media because they were overconfident and then proceeded to lose the game.

I have refrained from any grief towards that. It takes a bit to shake off the mindset you've developed over the many, many years of pre-Mahomes.

PTSD

I agree. I was not in the game day thread, I was watching with a few friends and some whiskey. While I never game up, I was certainly not happy at the 8 minute mark in the 4th...but I can honestly say, I still believed. Such a glorious finish to that game from the stupid 9ers early celebration till the hoisting of the Lombardi by Reid...

I ran up and down my street with my Chiefs flag screaming like a lunatic...best evening of football in the history of evenings of football.

But, I forgive those who doubted. It's understandable to say the least.

Can you stream a 4 k version somewhere?

That was the greatest moment of my football life. At that moment, I knew it was finally, finally ours. :)

I appreciate seeing people over 50 celebrate, because we had a really long walk through the desert to get there.

Amen brother... I barely remember the 1st one but this one is etched in my memory banks forever...

Lol I was yelling at Williams to get down the whole time after he got the first. Everyone else at my party was cheering though.

I was happy he scored in hindsight, Shanny Jr. had enough timeouts to still give the Chiefs a bit of a headache before time expired.

Same.
when they went out for that drive, i was just like "just get 4 yards; then another, then a 1st down etc. Just get positive yards and eat the clock".

when Williams turned that corner, and I just fell to my knees because it for sure over. on my knees watching him run into the endzone etc; my wife is yelling her head off celebrating, and I'm just kneeling there...staring at the tv, silent.

after a few seconds, I went into full celebration mode. but for those few seconds....was like I was frozen in time. after celebrating, and just waiting for the game to end I sat down and pretty much cried lol. ALL of the memories of going to games, tailgating,enduring the cold,, finding ways to lose, not throwing a td to a WR for like 2 years, choking in spectacular record setting ways in the playoffs; endless line of average QBs in here; season after season after season
of football disappointment my entire life...man. It was awwesome.

Haha, that's me to a T.

The difference is the clock would be running the whole time we're sitting on first down.

When we got the ball back after the INT thee were only 3 times we could run the clock - after first, second, and third.

In this case if Williams goes down in bounds - there would be 4 times - after getting the first, after running on first, after running on second, and after running on third. Game over. I think.

Minus the dropping to my knees, this was my house!!!

Maybe. So, funny story. My dentist to replace two fillings today in Colorado, but he grew up around KC and is also a massive Chiefs fan. So he's bringing the Super Bowl to today's appointment and we're gonna watch it as he's drilling into my mouth LMAO. I'll pay attention to the clock today to see if we could have ran the game out.

In previous conversations about this I was worried Shanny Jr. would have had his lineman go for the legs of the Chiefs lineman/Pat. Maybe I'm not giving Shanny enough credit, but it felt a little bush-league to call those timeouts AND have his lineman go after Pat when he was down by 2 scores with seconds left in the game. I know you play until the final whistle or whatever, but on the flip side, a lot of people would have felt it would have been totally uncalled for had Pat hit DRob for the easy TD to go up 37-20 as time expired.

Let’s say the Niners get TO called with 1:12 left.

First down at 1:12 with SF having 1 TO left.
They run 2 seconds off the clock and SF uses last TO with 1:10 left.
Second down snap at 1:10 and they run off two seconds on the play then 39 before next play.
Third down snap at :29.
Don’t even get to a 4th down play.
Game.

But I’m glad he scored. :)

Can you imagine if the Niners somehow scored, then got a miracle onside kick and beat us? And then Covid hits a few weeks later?

I'm not sure I'd be alive right now.

I'm typically an analytical guy, but **** that. When DWill hit the jets, it was over. Frank and HB weren't going to let it slip away after that and we DESERVED that TD and all of the emotions that came with it.

Who is coming in to play QB for them at that point, because Jimmy Grapes certainly wasn't beating us.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the analytics say to slide after gaining the 1st down, but I agree. It was an emphatic end to our suffering.. that and the Fuller INT, I suppose, though the game was all but over at that point.

Yeah, damn the analytics. Full speed ahead.

Plus, it statistically put us at a positive point differential in our three Super Bowl appearances combined: 64 points for, 62 points against.

How old is that young girl?

????

We wouldn’t have known it at the time, but we would have been robbed of Mitch’s call of the Super Bowl had Damien slid. Even Harlan was speechless after that run, but Mitch was ready and rose to the occasion with his “Damien Williams runs his way to immortality” quip. It wouldn’t surprise me if Mitch had written that call in 2003 for a potential Priest Holmes TD in the Super Bowl and then saved it in case a moment like that ever earned it. The call could not have been better for the moment.

I think it's easy for commentators to get so caught up in the moment that they forget that their calls will be immortalized forever. I was pretty underwhelmed by Ryan's call of the Royals winning the World Series (literally "It's OVER. It's DONE"). I actually didn't mind Joe Buck's call of the Royals World Series (Overall, I think he takes a bit of a bad rap. His call of Game 6 in the 2011 World Series still gives me chills as a Royals fan), but I was underwhelmed by his call at the end of the SB (I don't think him and Aikman are a good pairing). So it was poetic to have Mitch Holthus, the undying homer of the Chiefs who has called every game since the 90's with Patrick Mahomes level enthusiasm, to fully understand the significance of the moment and make a pitch-perfect call that captured the exhilaration and catharsis of our entire fandom.

I realized the safety was going to be late getting there and we were going to get the 1st down. He broke through, got excited and then freaked out as I watched him switch the football to another hand for no reason. What if he had fumbled the ball switching hands before hes in the end zone? I guess it was leftover "Because, Chiefs" horrors. Lots of emotions in those few seconds.

That's no lie!

Even though some of us are old enough to have enjoyed all 3 Super Bowl's, it was a long 50 year drought. I honestly thought I'd die before seeing another Chiefs Super Bowl.

Then came Mahomes....the rest is history! :clap:

That was my first thought too. Who watches a game like that?

Still probably my favorite moment from the Super Bowl. I still like to rewatch the Rock’s intro occasionally.

I just watched that video and was brought nearly to tears. Still so happy for the Kingdom. Craving some football.

Was reading this pre-game article and this quote stood out to me.

Pretty wild that the game may have come down to Andy learning from his past mistakes compared to Shanny Jr., who doubled down. Full article below:

Hey all - I've noticed that a few folks have been deleting their posts that came directly after Pat's 2nd INT. Please don't do this. This thread is legitimately a fantastic primary source on the Chiefs' 2nd Super Bowl Championship. I know some folks may think they were too critical of Pat in those posts, but those posts represented the lowest point of the Super Bowl and a very hard moment after our half-century long wait to get back to the SB. With that said, those low posts during that time make the subsequent comeback that much more satisfying to read. If anyone is giving you grief for them, ignore them. We were all in this ride together and 50 years of heartbreak is something that's hard to bounce back from in that moment.

Seriously, I've read a lot of game-threads and instant reactions of the Super Bowl online. Chiefsplanet's is the best one and it isn't close, especially coming from a place that had a shared community like this for so long. Reading us share our incredible 4th quarter comeback is still one of my favorite things to do on a low day.

Like everyone else, I am still reliving the glory of the Super Bowl. I have seen all the post game breakdowns, by every person with an opinion, or so it seems. Plenty of blame has been laid at the feet of Kyle Shanahan, and some has been given to Jimmy G.

But, you know who has skated absolutely scott-free of any blame? Robert Saleh. I have not seen a single national, regional, or local pundit say a damn thing about his defense giving up 21 points in the 4th quarter. In fact, I don't even think any of YouTubers or pod casts people that I have listened to have said anything about his performance.

But, I feel like if the Niners had won, he would have received so much praise for stopping Mahomes. He was laughing on the sidelines right along with his players early in the 4th quarter. I am sure other coordinators have acted like that on the sidelines before, but I can't remember seeing any OC or DC laughing like a playoff game was over.

Had anyone else heard anyone criticizing Saleh?

Chris Simms is the only one I've seen who has touched criticizing Saleh for his 4th quarter D but it was very light in comparison with the criticism Kyle and Jimmy have received.

I have watched and listened to all his breakdowns, and I think he talks more about the defense as a unit, and didn't actually criticize Saleh the way I think he should be criticized. He is more of a give the Chiefs offense the credit kind of guy.

And he isn't wrong, but watching Saleh coach in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl 54 was just as bad as watching Bob Sutton coach the 4th quarter and overtime of the AFC Championship game against the Patriots.

Props to Niemann for knocking the **** out of Garoppolo. Dude was completely different after that hit and I'm not sure we win without that happening.

Jimmy before the hit: 18/23, 195 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 98.37 passer rating.

Jimmy after the hit: 2/8 24 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 0 passer rating.

I posted a 'when they knew' post with the agony on the faces of the coaches as Mahomes broke them one-by-one.

For the Texans and Titans, I posted the blank stares of the HCs. For the 49ers, it was Saleh's blank stare instead of LilShanny's.

Close enough? :shrug:

Meh, I didn't really have any issues with his calls. His guys just got beat by superior firepower. Not many defenses in the history of the league would have enough left in the tank in the 4th quarter to rise up after chasing our guys around all game.

I've read some rumblings that many think that hit caused Jimmy G a slight concussion. I wouldn't be surprised because he was legitimately night and day from that point.

Hell if 2018 wasn't enough to scrub away any fear of us not coming back to win, then this year's playoff run and Super Bowl should have definitely taken away any last doubts. If this year you find yourself bitching and moaning about us being down and saying "oh we have no chance", then you truly are just a pessimistic pussy that just wants to whine.

Niemann and Sorenson are people you want on your team. Will give it all they got no matter what

**** that shit. Anyone criticizing Mahomes during that game should literally be banned from CP. If that's too extreme, which I admit it may be, then they should most certainly be ridiculed relentlessly until they decide to leave on their own.

Chiefspants, please do not condone this behaivor. All ot does is enables these little bitches to continue to whine and be little bitches. It's sickening.

I've seen people say he was holding his head and the ref was about to lead him into the concussion protocol.

John Lynch will have nightmares for the rest of his life that he took his college pal Solomon Thomas over a God and then watched that man he passed over destroy his team in the SB.

Great post

Yeah, that's like throwing away the preliminary drafts of the Constitution. It's a vital part of the historical record.

There is no need by some on here, to re-write history. Trash the defense or the coach. That SF defense was legit. They were a damn good defense.

The coach called the right play at the right time. They should have been up with 1:33 left in the Super Bowl. Thats not a coaching failure.

In no way did they lose because of their coach or defense. Their team didn't even "lose". Mahomes and our offense "won" the game. As history will show, as it would have against any team it faced that year in the SB.

Saleh's plan came one miracle play away from working. Or at least putting us into a 4th and 15 for the game.

That's why he hung his head after Wasp. He knew how close he was to choking us out, and now he was back in a dog fight.

He was sending extra guys all night. There's no reason to lay off the aggression on 3rd and 15. That's what bad coaches do. Mahomes will just pick you apart and get at least 10 for a 4th and short. 4th and 15 yeah - hang back at the sticks and play coverage. Or jailbreak.

Think about it as a Chiefs fan - which defense would you least like to play in either the AFC CG or SB again? For me it's SF by a long mile. I think SF was the better team all around. We just have a QB capable of making up that whole difference.

OMG LOOK AT THIS BADASS CHIEFS FAN WISH I COULD BE JUST LIKE HIM

After the second pick, my buddy texted me, verbatim: "Mahomes sucks. **** Mahomes! He will never get a Super Bowl"

I thought it was pretty funny. He's a constant naysayer. I still demanded his fan card.

I hope you gave him a FU back.

Post his phone number and let's get everyone on CP to send him a FU text.

Your friend sounds like a complete loser.

I have one of those friends too, dude told me the season was over about 5 times.

If you want to read an article critical of Saleh, here you go.

Well, except that it worked for about 52 minutes, he kinda has a point . . .
