A Level Headed Review Super Bowl LIX
First and foremost congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on a fantastic game plan. They knew what our weakness was and they exploited it to the max.
First a couple of bright spots - The Defense did a helluva job keeping us in the game for as long as they did. The final score should have been 29-22. If not for Pats two ill timed passes one for a pick six, this game is much closer. Hurts and Barkley had good games but it wasn't anything spectacular. Mcduffie had a very difficult assignment against AJ Brown and while he didn't shut him out he definitely didn't allow him to run wild. So major accolades to the Defense. One minor note to mention Bolton has to be using his head out there - the unnecessary roughness call was ticky tacky but don't even put yourself in the position to let the official make a judgement call. Xavier Worthy really came into his own tonight (8/8 157 yards 2 TDs). Worthy has a very bright future with the Chiefs and will make this offense explosive again, Dhop has done a wonderful job of mentoring this young man. Outside of Dhop (late in the game) Worthy was the only receiver to have an impact on this game. The Ugly - This is the second time we have lost a Super Bowl because of our O-Line. Flat out each turnover was a direct result of the offensive line (Specifically the left side) getting their sh*t pushed in. Thuney is an amazing guard and a serviceable left tackle. But when you play the #1 defense serviceable just doesn't cut it. Caliendo is below average at guard and just got destroyed out there by a superior opponent. Offensive line MUST be something that is worked on in the off season. It must have been really telling about DJ Humphries abilities if they didn't even consider making the half time adjustment to move him out there and put Thuney back at guard. NO RUNNING GAME - we saw so much success with running Kareem Hunt during the playoffs and we completely abandoned it. Part of it is the down and distances we found ourselves in in the first half and the lack of offensive possessions. The second half was playing catch up and no time to run the ball I get it but we should have tried harder to run earlier. But 11 total rushes in this game 4 of them by Pat is unacceptable. Pat getting cute - a couple of times Pat could have rushed for more yardage and he tried his getting cute tricks to hold the defenders. They were on to it and not biting. He needs to learn sometimes you just take off running and get what you can. Next year - Even though he mostly disappeared in the playoffs (possibly due to game plan) I would like to see Dhop back if he has one more year. I would also like to see Brown come back on a one year deal again. Kelce looked like he was tired, I'm not sure he comes back for his final contract year - maybe he does, reinvigorated by this horrible loss, we will see. I think the defense is going to suffer the most with player losses as we won't have the money to resign them all. I believe Reid, Omenihu, and Bolton to name a few and others will be looking for another contract. Lessons learned - Doesn't matter how many weapons you give Pat if you can't block for him you won't win. Gotta keep the OL in the forefront of our planning. As we have seen twice now Pat running for his life is a recipe for disaster. Thank you all for reading my thoughts after games this year. I appreciate the feedback and enjoy trying to keep a lid on the crazy that permeates this forum at times. See you during the draft! Last edited by DenverChief; 02-09-2025 at 10:30 PM.. |

Im disappointed but much less so than I would have been if we had lost to the 49ers in 19. We'll be back next year

D-Hop is done. He's going to be 33. He's not a good fit with this offense anyway.
Brown would be a great #3 WR depending on his contract demands. Bolton needs to be back. They have nobody to replace him. Reid is hard to replace also but he'll probably get a bigger contract elsewhere. |

Oh one other thought - on the Pat fumble, that should have been a RTP with both hands to the facemask of Pat as he was being stripped of the ball. Don't think it changes the outcome of the game but that was a bad missed call.

Officiating had a clear message today that nothing was going to get called that favored the chiefs.

Look closer at that play. Carter is being put in a sleeper hold before the slap. Both could have been called.

Hopkins looks washed.
The assumption that the Chiefs were load managing him during the regular season for a postseason run, didn’t prove to be true. |

He traded for brown Jr. He tried to pay brown Jr. He's drafted LTs...yes I know it was 2nd and 3rd round but what LT was worth the 32nd pick in back to back drafts? They traded up to get stars...there were no LTs deserving of that pick. Bad teams reach. We'll see if he reaches this draft. But he's been trying... |

I'll wait for the snap count but I didn't even see him in the game until the second half. It looked to be primarily Hollywood, Worthy and Juju with a sprinkling of Watson.

Not sure any of it would have mattered as the poor performance of the O Line pretty well doomed any chance the Chiefs had. But just like the Tampa Bay Super Bowl the receivers failed even when Patrick did his part. |

Looking forward to seeing what this offense can do with Rice back and a new left tackle.

DHop has no place on this team, and shouldn't be back. Kelce looked fairly disinterested, will be curious to see what he decides to do, could definitely see him hanging it up. Would like to see Hollywood come back, see what he can do with more time in the offense.
