Mahomes is still better than Josh but, as indicated by many experts even after the Championship game the gap isn't nearly as large as some wanted to make out. A few of us, including me, had a slight wobble after that game even though Josh hardly disgraced himself - but yesterday showed what happens to a Quarterback when their OL disappears, and Mahomes didn't look any better than Josh. Indeed, thanks to experience, Josh seems far more comfortable behind a non-existent OL than Mahomes.

His last Pats win, definitely, last night the offense had as much of a role as the defense.

Yeah; I think it was in the script for Mahomes to win last year though. Not so sure about this year.

Be thankful the Chiefs made the Superbowl? We'd be hurting more if Brady was getting the calls against us. The Chiefs seem to have the measure of the Bucs offense now; let's see how the latter changes things.

These flags against the Chiefs are hilarious. But where were they two weeks ago???

Let's be honest, the Bucs have looked to buy the Superbowl this year. Their offense is insane if it clicks - Brady, Gronk, Evans, Goodwin, Miller, Fournette, Brate... so many possibilities there.

The Bucs need a TD from this play, though. The Chiefs will surely regroup and get it together at half time if not before.

I was reading one article yesterday that spelt out that Josh wasn't outclassed by Mahomes. There was differential elsewhere but the Quarterback play was hardly MVP v Rookie.

Through a punch against us - nothing. Look funny at a Bucs player - flag. Not that I'm complaining... much.

And even if he fumbled it's not as if the Chiefs would have gained much on a turnover.

And the TB defense seemingly suddenly forget to double up on Hill.

Just replaying it on the UK coverage - one angle looks short, another angle looks good. The pundits seem pretty sure it is short, though.

Now, will Ariens do a McDermott.

Brady's got an elite offense around him; no way would he have reached the Superbowl with the Patriots this year.

If Josh had a run game like this we could well be playing tonight instead of the Chiefs. Well that, or we would have lost by three instead of 14.

The game's so much tougher when you can't just do what you want to halt plays.

One holding call is enough; it makes the defense aware they're being watched.

We need variation on both sides of the ball. We're getting there but without the variation we won't get over the line. KC look human though, and that's all we can hope for heading into the off season.

Tony Romo: This team likes to hold... You don't say.

The run game is far more potent against the KC defence than the pass game. We were playing with one hand tied behind our backs.

KC are great - we made them look world class. The fact is everyone had, to different degrees, an off day against the Chiefs and we had to bring our A Game to have a chance.

Look it this way, we're the second best team in the AFC. For years, we were going into the season thinking we may just manage to be the second best team in the AFC East!

The one which resulted in a loss of three? 😄 EDIT: Oh yeah, the first down run was excellent.

As did Brady. And straight away the Bucs defence doubled up on Kelce and Hill.

I’ll preface this by saying I love Josh as Quarterback but I guess the easy way to settle this, taking the heart and emotion out of it, is if the Chiefs lost their senses and offered a straight trade for Mahomes then I think most of us, albeit not overly happily, would accept it. Hopefully next year, at the very least, it won’t be such an easy thing to consider.
