1. Every Super Bowl Mahomes plays in will have the same storyline. “NFC Team has the better roster, but the Chiefs have the better QB.”

2. After Mahomes wins, the NFC team is immediately diminished as not being as good as everyone thought and “Well of course Mahomes beat THAT quarterback”.

Same people who talk about the NFC rep being a super team will tell you that Mahomes got an easy draw after the game.

They have to specify "the better OVERALL team"

What do you mean? Do the Chiefs have Mahomes?

"Yeah, but everywhere ELSE the NFC team is better!"

Okay, but does that matter if the Chiefs have Mahomes? They DO still have Mahomes, right? So aren't the Chiefs a better team?

"No because that one RB!!!!"

Starting RBs to beat Mahomes in the playoffs: James White, Ronald Jones, and Joe Mixon. Starting RBs to lose to Mahomes: Derrick Henry, Raheem Mostert, Nick Chubb, Christian McCaffrey...

"Yeah but what about the weapons!!!"

Sigh.

It is weird how people try to remove the QB from the roster in these discussions.

If you take away LeBron from those Heat teams, I’m not sure they’re better than the Thunder.

I think the focus will be to contain Say WHat? Not give up big plays. Spags is going to trust Mahomes led O to not make it necessary to take risks on D. Spags WILL risk it if the pot is big enough. If Eagles get 3rd and long and opportunity to get ball back with 2 score lead(Pot is big enough).

Other example of pot being big enough, 4rth and 5 vs Bills, (Spags went all in).

I don’t know a whole lot about the eagles but this better roster thing seems overblown. The chiefs have a damn good roster and defense. I’m sick of hearing the eagles have such a better roster I guess.

Same. We don't have many holes on our roster except tackle and Caliendo and maybe safety. And with that said we have alot of guys that can do alot of things interchangeably on defense in the secondary which Spags likes.

I don't see the Eagles Dline and secondary as exceptionally better than ours. Same with WR. Better? Yeah but marginally. We still have the goat QB, TE, and coach and that wins more often than not.
