Chiefs Thoughts on the AFCCG - Page 4

Amnorix · 01-22-2019, 05:10 PM

My unsolicited (and no doubt unwanted) thoughts on an amazing AFCCG

1. First, amazing game. Put aside the rooting interest and the result, and that was one hell of a crazy, entertaining football game, with multiple lead changes and more drama than any damn reality show has to fake create. The game earned the highest TV ratings of any show since last year's Super Bowl, and it delivered. A Patriots beat guy tweeted that the game was "bananapants" with about four minutes left to play, which was before like two touchdowns, a FG, a couple of replay reviews, and an overtime!

2. As Chiefs fans, it looks to me like you have some great years ahead of you to look forward to. Mahomes is obviously the real deal, though still raw, and you have him on an underpaid contract for two more years I understand. Huge competitive advantage. Hill and Kelce are rare talents. Your OLine could be better, though, and your defense. Well, I don't need to say much there.

3. If it helps, think of it this way -- it took the GOAT coach and GOAT QB overtime to beat you even though (1) the Patriots had few penalties, and the team overall played very disciplined all game, (2) the Chiefs defense just sucks right now, (3) Patriots somehow held the Chiefs scoreless in the first half, (4) the Pats kept Hill/Kelce to under 100 yards total, (5) the Chiefs running game was shut down, and (6) the Patriots successfully played "keep away" from the Chiefs offense for most of the game, running about 2 plays on offense for every 1 the Chiefs had. I mean, it's ridiculous how much effort that took. IMHO, the fact that the Patriots KNEW the Chiefs had a hell of a team is proven by Brady's over the top joyous reaction to winning. He's the ultimate "been there, done that" guy and he still acted like a rookie who had won the championship itself when they won.

4. IMHO Belichick and the Patriots coaches won this game far more than any individual player on the Patriots side. I thought Brady was unexceptional most of the game -- but the Patriots game plan was outstanding, on all sides of the ball. Keep away on offense by pounding the ball relentlessly and chewing up clock. Demoralizing/tiring the Chiefs defense. Not allowing the Chiefs offense to get into a rhythm. Good pass rush which kept Mahomes in the pocket, generated pressure, but didn't allow Mahomes to scramble where he is so ridiculously dangerous. It was honestly a thing of beauty as a game plan, in my opinion. It's a great demonstration of why Belichick is the GOAT coach.

5. The Chiefs OLine didn't look good at all. The Patriots completely shut down the run, and were able to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. That's not surprising for the Patriots OLine, which is excellent, but for the Chiefs OLine to be that poor is troubling. Not sure what is up there as I haven't seen many Chiefs games, but if that's a trend you should be concerned. Mahomes style of play is higher risk than you'd like, and keeping him safe should be a high priority.

6. Mahomes is obviously going to be a great one, if he isn't already, but he's still young. He failed to recognize a number of things the Patriots had going on, such as the McCourty blitz. When a safety who is usually playing deep is cheating near the line, that's a signal. He also needs to work his reads/progressions faster. But he's a freaking first year QB. His 50 TDs were "inflated" due to his ridiculous support at the skill positions, but that crap doesn't happen by accident, and we all know most QBs would not have gotten anywhere near 50 TDs even with that talent. Hell, Mahomes' arm and Hill's speed are a match made in heaven for you guys, and a combo that could power you to great heights.

7. I stayed silent during the week building up to the game, but I never did understand how so many Chiefs fans thought they would completely blow the Patriots off the field. I know their year has been one of ups and downs, but if you've watched the NFL over the last two decades, you should've known the Patriots weren't going to come in and roll over for you guys the way the limp-ass, young, inexperienced Colts did. Hell, if it wasn't for the "Miracle in Miami" that game would've been in Foxboro instead of Arrowhead. A tip for the future -- learned the hard way -- NEVER underestimate your opponent. If the 2007 Patriots could lose to the freaking 9-7 Giants, then "any given Sunday" is an absolute reality, and not just a pithy phrase.

8. I have to end with a comment on the many Cheatriots comments. They are sad. When the Patriots keep winning just as relentlessly after these ridiculous scandals as before, what does that tell you about whether or not these scandals made any sense at all? Apparently some want to believe the Patriots just have other ways of cheating to keep on winning, or that they can blame the weak AFC East. Neither makes any sense. The fact is you lost to the greatest dynasty in NFL history, the GOAT coach and GOAT QB, and while they might be in decline, they certainly ain't dead yet, as they proved yet again.

Good luck next year. May we meet again in the AFCCG, with an equally entertaining game and the same result!!

Congrats on the coin flip. How long will Brady stick around and be mediocre just to pad his stats now that he knows there’s a QB that is coming for his records at 23 already. Has to make him nervous to think about how much of a head start Mahomes has on him already. I mean Brady could add his collegiate stats to his first couple years in the league and they still don’t touch the year Mahomes had. He has to know his legacy won’t hold up too much longer. This league is changing so fast.

What happens when you go in red? Do you get a warm fuzzy feeling? I like warm fuzzy feelings.

Literally the league MVP last year....?

And yes, every passing and receiving record is going to fall as the NFL continues to move in the direction they are going. What won't fall soon are the ridiculous WINNING records. Most games won, most playoff games won, most SB games won, winning percentage, etc. ad infinitum. It's absurd.

Sure I’m serious. I get it, though. A lot of folks get emotional about “their” team. Nothing necessarily wrong with that.

If Dee Ford lines up correctly the Chiefs win... not sure why the Faketriots OP felt the need to write a 10,000 word thesis.

Tom Brady isn't better than football than Mahomes, but he's certainly better at getting coin flips to go his way.

Records are meant to be broken. If we can get even a decent defense around Mahomes I don’t think anyone doubts he can overtake all those records. He’ll start getting the same preferential star treatment Brady gets and then the sky’s the limit. Then again I guess Brady had the tuck rule his first year, so he’s kind of always had the league on his side, huh?

GloryDayz · 01-22-2019, 10:47 PM

I say ban him until the Pats lose the SB, then let him back. Because the Pats, who are plenty good, have always been aided by the league's officials, I hate him being here to remind us of their charmed life and our anti-charmed life.

As Lew said, do God's work until they've lost the SB.

I for one am glad that Mahomes has Andy and not Payton or Mccarthy. We are looking at a kid who has Aaron Rodgers level type of talent in play making ability. Maybe even a hire ceiling. Even tho you can argue that he is stacked with talent I think it's safe to think with time even with average talent he's going to put mvp numbers routinely

And in reality, that should have been a warning to Dee and not a penalty. This type of influence by the zebras is what pisses off football fans.

Sheesh after reading the replies you assholes deserve another 50 years without a Super Bowl appearance. I'm going to enjoy the next two weeks leading up yet another Super Bowl while you all can keep crying about coin flips, roughing the passers and neutral zone infractions.

All the Patriots fans think ALL of the dislike towards their team is envy..."They hate us 'cause they ain't us". They're in so much denial about the shame they should have about what their team did. They'll never understand but in this country people HATE cheaters...no matter how successful their cheating benefits them...just ask Lance Armstrong.
