Snakebit season….three most important players to this defense either out or playing hurt. Safety depth was a huge issue no Daquan jones in that bengals game either I can’t blame people for seeing it as making excuses after that disappointing loss but over time maybe it will be viewed differently

Give us von back and their offensive linemen back and replace saffold with someone that can actually play football and it’s close imo our defensive scheme relies pretty heavily on good safety play and pressuring with 4 and the three most important players were hurt (poyer played through it). Our dline was dominant with von playing and then a switch flipped when he went down…it’s like it the chiefs lost chris jones. They’d be dead in the water I feel like we all knew it was over when we lost von but some of us like me lied to ourselves for awhile 😂

Most important position goes to us and it’s not even that close imo…eagles are without a doubt the more complete team though so I agree with the general point of your post still 😁 it is straight up mindboggling what josh was able to do with virtually no offensive line this season. Saffold was absolutely dreadful

I think we had a shot with von and one of hyde/poyer playing healthy this year so I like our chances next year. Gotta shore up the oline

Yea I keep hearing it was our coaching when we got straight up physically dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The bengals could’ve told us what plays they were running and we still couldn’t have stopped them

Agree to disagree I guess…that’s not at all how I saw it and I’ve watched it like 20 times already lol this isn’t even an anti chiefs tirade I legitimately wanted them to win I think 😁 looked like a very light two hand shove about a step out of bounds and both guys just topple over. Not at all a takedown by any definition imo. A late hit by rule but burrow was frequently late hit if they were gonna call them that tight a penalty by the letter of the law of course though…I wouldn’t argue that maybe the problem is the other side of that coin in that we are so used to seeing questionable stuff being let go late in games

They give the defenders the benefit of the doubt when they pull up usually…it’s not always easy for those big guys to slow down. looked like he did to me but mahomes sold it like the defender steamrolled him. I don’t think they get that call without the flop but it’s technically a penalty

Biggest pet peeve in football is people portraying a football game as qb vs qb and nothing else matters lol it’s no surprise to see two of the best offensive lines in football in the superbowl

Haha I couldn’t care less about media narrative.. the opinion of any analyst that doesn’t know enough to understand the importance of pass blocking to a qb means absolutely nothing

There’s 10 other guys on offense lol and Allen has beat mahomes twice and did all he needed to to win last year. They’re all great with different strengths/weaknesses. you give that kc oline to burrow or Allen and they’d go absolutely wild

The push was light and one step out of bounds…they just tumbled for awhile. There was also an absolutely egregious hold on the chiefs on that play too…should’ve been offsetting at worst(for the bengals). Would’ve been an easy out for the refs handlin it that way

I’m no fan of Kelce but to his defense the bengals talked a ton of trash leading up to this one

Burrow is nowhere near as good as josh when pressured it seems…he’s not a slow guy but he seems real skittish. Throws lasers in a clean pocket though

Bengals blew that one…I don’t think the chiefs looked particularly well coached. Adeniji one on one against Chris jones on the biggest play of the game? Yikes

Andy Reid vs his old team, Kelce vs kelce. Got to avoid a neutral site afc championship and the weird seeding rules had no impact. Tin foil hat me could see them drawing up a chiefs vs eagles Super Bowl…of course I’m mostly joking I hope 😂

The biased fan base obviously would want that call 😂 that doesn’t prove much. I honestly think I preferred a chiefs win after the bengals talkin trash for two straight weeks and I was not at all happy about that call

Flop made it look like he made contact egregiously late but it was a bang bang play

If they’re calling everything that tightly to the rules there’d be 100 flags a game. No way they call that in that spot without the flop

I don’t think they call that if he doesn’t flop so hard…it was late though

How is he not chipped or doubled there…insane

Chris jones one on one vs a third string tackle on a crucial 3rd down eh?

Mahomes has as good an oline now as Brady ever had

His offense also wasn’t loaded with playmakers early on either…bengals are losing one of Higgins/chase in a couple years for sure

I don’t think either will even come close

He did it in a sport with a single game elimination playoff format too…it’s absolutely impossible what they pulled off. Never gonna happen again
