Well Chiefs vs Packers is what I had hoped for, but that's not happening.

Let's talk about Chiefs vs 49ers here.

On paper this looks like it could be the best matchup in recent memory in a Super Bowl, it's strength vs strength. It should be a close game and maybe a shootout, probably very entertaining for everyone.

Really, there haven't been a lot of great Super Bowls recently.

The Rams never got off the bus last year. The Nick Foles game was entertaining, but still - that was a declining Patriots team being beaten by a backup QB. The year before that, Falcons embarrassingly blow a huge lead. The year before that Denver soundly defeats a Panthers team while Cam Newton embarrasses himself.

The last really good Super Bowl was probably when New England beat Seattle, but even then you have Russell Wilson throwing a pick on 2nd and goal from the 1 being the story of the game.

I think this year the league has a real shot at a great game, great storylines, and teams that will both show up.

Chiefs stacked the box on 12% of snaps against Tennessee. That’s a total myth that they loaded up on Henry at any extreme measure.

I expect a similar plan early on cause the KC DL is going to win the LOS in this matchup. Some just don’t realize that yet.

Brees was so clearly on fumes down the stretch (same as last year) that the Saints simply weren't as good as their record. The Seahawks had been decimated by injury and damn near lost to a 40 year old man playing on a torn hamstring. The Vikings had Kurt Cousins - the same guy that lost to Matt Moore.

I just don't understand this belief that the NFC was some savage hell-conference.

Packers had a negative net yards per play (O-D). To go 13-3 with that indicates a lot of luck. On the flip side, Dallas somehow managed to dominate the line of scrimmage and have a .500 record.

The Chiefs have proven their mettle over the last 8 games. The 49ers needed help to get the #1 seed over Seattle. If the officials had called that game correctly - or if they had even REVIEWED that call (it was under 2 minutes), Seattle would've had a bye week to get healthy, and it's possible that the 49ers wouldn't have made it past them the third time, either.

If Seattle would’ve won They wouldn’t of had a bye.

#1-GB
#2-NO
#3-Seattle
#4-Philly
#5-SF
#6-Minn

The NFC has been overrated all season. Two of their best 5 teams either lost or almost lost to the Matt Moore led Chiefs. Baltimore blew the doors off of Seattle on the road and beat SF.

KC, SF, and BAL were really the only teams that ever seemed to have a real shot at winning this when it started a few weeks ago.

Pretty crazy how much difference that one game meant in the standings. Wild stuff!

Right!!!

Ultimately the 9ers winning screwed the Saints more than it screwed the Hawks.

No question.

Brees NEEDED that week off in a big way. Just as Brady did.

Both of those guys were clearly working with dead arms and a week without practice could've helped them a lot.

Credit is due to the 49ers in that regard - by winning that game they effectively torpedoed the ceiling of their biggest hurdle. Even had NO won that game, they were done the following week. They needed more than Brees had to offer and the only thing that could've changed that was giving Brees some time to recharge.

The 49ers probably still make the NFCCG but they end up playing @ NO instead of at home vs. a team that had a clear matchup advantage against in GB.

They didn't back into it - they won the game they had to. But man it took some weird shit for it to happen and in the process the myth of the dominant NFC was destroyed, IMO.

Yep. Saints lost the bye week and then got stuck playing Minnesota in the wild card round. Vikings are a team that seems to have Voodoo magic against the Saints.

I’m over the stats convo. You guys got better towards the end of the year because of “change” we got worse towards the end because of injuries. Who cares. All that means nothing in 2 weeks. Move on. On to the next subject.

Questionable. Garland has gotten better in place of Richburg, but I would agree that is a point of vulnerability.

Please please please do!

We’re not playing anything, except for with your emotions you absolute imbecile. They Chiefs will be playing the 40 winers. And you fools better keep your box of tissue and your Faders jerseys close by. Cuz this Chiefs team is gonna embarrass their opponent to the point you’ll all be Faders fans AGAIN by the time the game ends.

Oh, good god. Stop with the high and mighty act.

YOUR team hasn’t been making Super Bowls ‘regularly’ since the 80’s.

The Ronald Reagan era is over. You’re not the Pats. Get over yourself.

Serious question not regarding the superbowl...

How long do you guys think you guys have this superbowl window open? Looking at your cap situation, KC is around $15 mill under? That’s without paying Mahomes. I asked in the Mahomes thread how much will he realistically make yearly, answer was about $40-$45 mill a year.

Do you guys feel that with him making so much will affect the way this team is built? Obviously pieces will have to go.

Side note: let’s see how many times I get called idiot for asking a simple question. Lol.
