AFC and NFC Championship game thread

I think a lot of it disliking the KC franchise for whom they employ
Then you add on the announcers salivating if he throws a side arm pass. Like wow, Rivers did that almost all the time and was never touted as the greatest QB
And then Brady vs Peyton was some real convo in the early 00s when Brady had 3 rings and Peyton had 0. So when you hear Mahomes, all of 1 SB win and 3 CG / SB losses, being the best thing since sliced bread it just rings hollow.
Like Ben never get this much salivating on his scrambles and he has won more than Mahomes ever has (yes I realize there are some issues). Insert Eli, he never got the praise.
Yes. People aren't rational about Jeter. But he was supremely talented. You don't have the 6th most hits in MLB history because you were lucky.I mean, look who’s number 1
But yea, Jeter is an amazing athlete and baseball player, and if he played for the Royals in relative anonymity everyone would feel very different about him.
I hear ya. As I've mentioned in other places, I have a yuge issue judging players based on rings but I know it's a thing. All I know is, if I could pick any player in the league right now I think it would be between Mahomes and Herbert. And if you're in that conversation you deserve the hype unless you're a dick.
He was very gifted and had a lotta tangibles. Hell, you might even say he had a basket full of tangible gifts.
I f-ing despise him, but c'mon. You want to say his defense was overrated, fine. But otherwise, his greatness as a player is not subject to debate. And again, I DESPISED the guy.
For fuck’s sake. After a glorious football game we gotta have reasons for hating Patrick Fucking Mahomes and Derek Fucking Jeter?
I hate them both with the intensity of a million zillion blazing hot suns. Unreservedly.

I love how the crowd is loud for the Rams offense because there are a fuckton of Niners fans and dumb Rams fans
Not "not talented." Over-hyped.
Great hitter. Highly overrated fielder who received constant over-the-top praise for his play..
I assume we are about to hear about how misunderstood he is, his work with abused puppies, and his 696 home runs.
Worst kick in the playoffs this year. Wow.
Except for maybe when that guy came up short from 47. Was that the same guy? Just kidding, i know it was.

Mahomes isn’t overhyped or overrated. He is THAT GOOD.
But being THAT GOOD doesn’t automatically translate into titles. It didn’t for Marino, Rodgers, Wilson, and others. And THAT is the problem I have with Mahomes, and probably many others do too. The media says he is guaranteed to win multiple titles, or more.
No, he isn’t.

No, he isn’t.
I also thought the Bengals should’ve drafted Sewell, who is a helluva lot better than Isaiah Prince right now. But the Bengals were obviously right about Chase.
Is Gay healthy? Because I want to know how critical I can be of him or the decision to send him out to kick a long FG.
Yeah you get it, Tim. This is the basis for my issue with rings. The media talking about Mahomes and rings is dumb. I'm with you.
Exactly. He’s absolutely unreal. But in the ultimate team sport, in a single elimination environment, with a salary cap, it’s REALLY hard to win a championship.
Yup. Brady just broke everyone's brain in this regard, it's really fucking hard to win multiple titles. Let alone make it to literally 50% of super bowls in your active years as a starter, and winning more than a third of them.
I think they are completely different players. I mean at least the 49ers used them a lot differently.
