I understand, but I don't know why they would say that, Mr. Mecca.
Although Mahomes has been getting a lot of love this week in Miami, the teevee peeps have been talking up the Niners a lot.
Yet, as we know, none of it means a damn thing in the end. Somebody is actually playing in the game ... and it isn't them.
The most interesting storyline for me has been the "Defense Wins Championships" plot. If one accepts that dogma, the Niners are in pretty good shape. (Mainly because the teevee peeps simply use season-long stat compilations that don't account for improvement during the year.)
However, I believe that "Defense Wins Championships" yarn was concocted long before the NFL made the rule changes that favored offense.
And, of course, Mahomes wasn't invented yet.
