Sure. It was in 2020 though. And 2022. And 2019. And 2018.

I love Josh. I think the narrative that he can do no wrong and is constantly let down by everyone around him is false.

We didn't win the SB last season. Mahomes won it this season lmao.

This should clear his head from throwing his teammates under the bus.

He was yesterday. He was near flawless all postseason. 7-0 TD:INT. 1 fumble.

He led the NFL in TO’s bro….

Wish our guy also didn’t throw the ball into a linebackers chest occasionally.

I missed all of Patrick’s red zone picks lmao

He played near perfect. Completely mistake free. Folks keep saying “he didn’t do anything Josh can’t do” which is true. But he also didn’t do things that Josh does a lot, like make boneheaded decisions and throws.

So should the Bills be looking to hire some HC’s who have made a Super Bowl but never won? Riverboat Ron come on down?

The Chiefs were drafting 27th when Mahomes was taken.

“Well you see, the offense had a 3 and out in the second quarter, which is why the defense allowed 43 points and 200 yards rushing.” RIP to another shooting star in the TBD constellation. We miss you @The Big Cat

I don’t know if you heard, but we only scored 10 points vs the Bengals.

REID SCHEMED IT UP

CEH inactive lmao. What a horrific pick

Brother, the OP tried to tell us Tyrod Taylor could make the HoF and that EJ just needed more time. Downplaying Mahomes and uplifting Josh Allen is tame.

MVP has a lot of personal definitions, but the award usually goes to the best QB on the best team record wise with the best stats. So Mahomes was obviously the MVP. It's really just the 1st team All-Pro award.

Yeah well, we were all rooting for KC's demise with the Tyreek departure. I get what you're saying but a couple homer threads aren't the proof you think it is.

I think if the defense does play poorly in another early exit next year, I could see the end of the McD era. Which is a shame because he is a good guy and deserves all the credit for turning the team around from a cesspool by NFL standards. Hope we win the SB for him tbh. But would love BJ.

I think there is a tremendous argument that pairing a good (not even HoF level, just good) offensive mind with a franchise QB is the secret to sustained success in the NFL. I'm not advocating for firing McD. But if I was starting a franchise tomorrow, I would try to pair an offensive HC with my franchise QB 10/10 times over a defensive guy. Mahomes had Reid. Rodgers had McCarthy/LaFleur. Brady had BB as his HC, but had McDaniels for almost his entire tenure in NE. Goff/Stafford with McVay. Zac Taylor and Burrow. It's no different than OL IMO. You want continuity, familiarity and limited turnover around your franchise QB. A great defensive mind is all well and good, but in the salary cap era, it's way easier to have a consistent offense with the same good-great QB over 15 years than great defenses.

He was also sacked 4 times in that Superbowl and forced into a decent amount of bad throws. Don't get me wrong, they weren't as bad as they were the next year (which is why they lost) but it was a group that clearly needed an upgrade. I disagree entirely with your hypothetical premise. There is a luck/chance element with everything. I think if the Chiefs lost 3 starters on the OL like the Bengals did, the Bengals would be in their second Superbowl in a row today. It's HARD to get to the big dance. KC has been in the AFCCG for 5 straight years and this is their 3rd Superbowl with Mahomes. Which is absolutely impressive and should be acknowledged. However, as much as he's a superstar, you're going to see some regression to the mean with that success. The history of the NFL tells us this. NE with Brady had a similar feat. From 2012 to 2018, they went to 7 straight AFCCG, 3 SB wins, 1 SB loss. But over a course of 19 years, they didn't sustain that level.

HEAT MAPS

We have tried which is a little more depressing. We have drafted guys like Ford/Brown. Signed FA's like Saffold. Just haven't hit. I FIRMLY believe that if Cody Ford turns out to be a solid starting G, like top 15 in the NFL, we would have already made a Superbowl. That whiff hurt.

And got smoked. Which is why they went out and focused on it (and nailed it tbh)

The bottom line is that this year is EASILY the closest comparison of Allen’s and Mahomes’ weapons. Whether one is slightly better than the other is kind of irrelevant. The more relevant point is the KC OL is way better than the BUF OL and that’s why they are in the Super Bowl and we are golfing.
