Which team do you want to win Kansas City vs. Tampa Bay. Remember
when they would give out free VIP days for picking the right side not too long ago.ok
I don't have a favorite between these teams so I'll just start watching and at some point I'll figure out who I want to win. As a Giants fan I've long been a Brady hater (respectfully) but what he's done this year proves he really is the Greatest Of All Time. But I also love Mahomes, so......
It's a matchup for the ages.
I think KC will win but I don't know who I WANT to win yet.
Especially when you're getting 3 points but you never know. That's why they play the game.
Last year I was worried about my 49er pick because too many other people were taking the 49ers plus the points. Turns out I was right to be worried.
This year it seems like everybody has the Chiefs. This is good because I like Tampa Bay plus the points.
Lets make some money!
I would like to see a good defensive showing by both teams & hopefully no questionable calls on penalties.
KC
My opinion a close high scoring game.
The student meets the master. Brady is the G.O.A.T.
Patriots 6 Super Bowl wins.
Steelers 6 Super Bowl wins.
Brady 7 Super Bowl wins.
The Bucs' win was due as much to their incredible defense, the fact that Mahomes was limited by turf toe and that he had a porous O-Line due to injuries to starters.
That said, the Bucs still put up the points and Brady performed at a high level. He deserves all the praise he's gotten. He was already the GOAT. Now he's GOAT+. No one else even comes close.
But? There are no buts. 80% completion rate with 3 TDs in the first half has never been done before. If Mahomes wasn't running for his life the whole game and had a better day, I have no doubt in my mind that Brady would have raised his game to whatever level was needed in the 2nd half as well to win. No ifs ands or buts.
After the first quarter it was obvious KC was being outcoaced. I thought Andy Reid or one of his drunken junkie sons would shorten the game for Mahomes.
If you are facing two deep safties and your O Line is getting its ass kicked, you dink and dunk and use your running backs.
Reid has always been an overated coach who was loved by the media for being a "nice guy." Give me a Bellichick asshole type who knows how to make adjustments.
Win or lose Brady has been the goat for years.
BUT (Haha) if he'd had to play behind Mahomes' O-Line they've have had to take him out on a stretcher. That's not to take anything away from Brady, cuz you just can't. But it does explain why Mahomes couldn't even score a single TD. I agree with OTM that Reid should have come up with a better offensive plan, since he knew (or should have known) how his patched-up O-line would perform.
Brady's coach would have put in an extra back or tight end to chip on the D line. Brady would have won in a different way with a different scheme and would not have been on a stretcher.
Your G Men beat him with enormous pressure from the front four but were unable to take him out of the game. KC's defense was nowhere near that level.
That being Jason Pierre-Paul, who's still playing at a very high level despite missing a few fingers.
