I was being facetious and agree with you, albeit clumsily. I spend half of my time in Cleveland and am well aware that he didn't grow up anywhere near the mean streets.
Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

Greenlaw was absolutely a huge loss. Almost as soon as he went out, KC started ripping them on screens, flat routes, and tight end stuff.
Yep. It’s why it is inconceivable on this board that anyone would be rooting for the Chiefs regardless of matchup.
There aren't many QBs close enough to Mahomes to be a real challenge. His odds are good for more wins in the next few years.
I don't know. Feels like he slipped over the sash just as the window's closing. They could win again, but they're hardly a shoo in.
Most of the team is young. Kelce will stick around another year or two. Pacheco is very good. Mahomes is acquiring new skills and knowledge every year. etc. And the coaching is great.
I've been incepted by Tony because I agree. Romo and Nantz called a great game, the former with cool analysis and his singing.
Assuming they manage some cap magic to keep Chris Jones too they are a top 1 favorite.
Even with no additions, I'd put them there. If it weren't for an epidemic of drops, they would have done even better in the regular season. I think they were perceived as being weaker than they really were.
Of course, they only managed to win the SB in OT against a team that made many bonehead errors... but great teams like KC win under all kinds of circumstances, because they don't make (as many of) the bonehead errors.
Second half improved, but technically the mix was muddy as hell at first (not talking about the performance, just the audio engineering).
Better that than fucking up the mix when Luda was on stage, I guess, but you'd think they could get the tech stuff right at the freaking Super Bowl.
They won fair and square, but it's not like they steamrolled the rest of the NFL.
Imagine how many more rings the Pats would have if they didn’t have any good QB competition for Brady to go up against.
Mahomes is blessed.
Mahomes is blessed.
Tony saying at the end of the first half that Mahomes was rushing mentally and that the 49ers defense had him a little rattled was probably the first time in a long time I heard him say something insightful (probably based on his own experience) and slightly critical of Mahomes.
No, but add a high end player at their biggest position of need while bringing back the best QB in the league and a top end defense and I'm not sure why they aren't the clear favorite to win next year. Obviously a lot of offseason to happen, but I'm not sure what could happen to put another team ahead of them.
I found most of his insights to be value added. His pre-snap stuff is great. I know we have people amongst us who see that without it being pointed out but its pretty useful imo.
Great QBs like Eli and Fokes?
What the hell are you talking about? Mahomes is an all time great, top 3-7 QB if he retires tomorrow.
Booger on why Mahomes is better than Brady:
“Brady had an offensive line and other pieces around him that Mahomes doesn’t have.”
“Brady had an offensive line and other pieces around him that Mahomes doesn’t have.”
Is this what passes for cutting-edge sports analysis nowadays? Barf.
(SB51 comeback happened without Gronk!)
Sorry for your loss. Losing big games close is brutal. Well run team though. They'll be back.
No idea why Kyle didn’t call timeout before the last play to give the defense a 2 minute rest. Then they would have gotten another rest between Quarters after that play.
You could make an argument the Chiefs haven’t beaten any great teams during this run. Certainly no one the caliber of the 01 Rams or 14 Seahawks.
Anyone got replays of these? I'd be willing to shift Shanahan blame to Purdy / Chris Jones being that good.
Last year’s Eagles team was awesome and so was this year’s Ravens and Niners by DVOA.
Jones blew up several plays where receivers were technically "open" -- including the play before the OT field goal, where Jennings was free on the flank
You’re 100% right and anything else is just salty Pats fans. And I hate the Chiefs (but have nothing but respect for Mahomes, Reid, and Kelce), but they took this game. The Niners squandered like 4 chances to put it away (or close to it) and they didn’t. It was dumb. Their playcalling was dumb.
That was a tough one for you and all the good Niners fans on this board. I feel for you.
Yeah, well, not all of us are Patriots fans in case you haven't noticed.
