Watching replays of LV (it’s enjoyable for me, I know it’s not for KC fans). I keep learning new things:
The Chiefs OL performance is a wicked lame excuse. Firstly, for the linemen who aren’t 1st stringers, they’re still professional football players - elite football
players at that. Secondly, they played ok, but Mahomes just took too much time to throw, often because of the excellent Bucs coverage. Also, Mahomes just hasn’t got the pocket presence of a Brady, he needs to learn how to move up into the pocket and avoid rushers; he gets too nervous and wants to do these crazy sideways scrambles which rarely go well (I’d compare him more to Tarkenton). Don’t blame the OL, they didn’t cause the beatdown.
The refs called a good game. Replays all showed Chiefs penalties were correct, Romo even acknowledged this. Chiefs DBs hold, on almost every play. It almost looks like they’re coached to do this. Then they whine when the flag comes out. I saw many KC holds that were missed by the zebras - this cost TB probably 7 to 10 pts. Penalties weren’t a factor in the blowout.
The “helmet hitting passes” weren’t “drops”. Both Hill and Williams had Bucs DBs arms/hands in there faces. Have you ever tried catching a football humming along at God knows what mph while getting “screened”? These weren’t drops, they were great D. So drops didn’t cause the rout.
“It was all Britt’s fault”!!! What??? If anything had Andy preoccupied it was likely his next meal, he has had enough time spent dealing with his no-good sons, and probably stopped caring years ago. So don’t blame Britt, Andy just sucks in big games, look at the data.
The Chiefs lost to a better team that exposed them as soft. Other teams took note I’m sure, and will take it to the Chiefs next season. Teams don’t recover after SB loses to Brady - the data is clear on this. Mahomes is essentially the next Goff. Take time to watch the replay. I’m sure you’ll see that I’m spot on.
Enjoy the game!
