Super Bowl recap and how the Chiefs pulled it off summarized:

 

1.  Fumbled punt recovered at 49er 10.  

2. Greenlaw hurt taking the field 

3. Blocked Extra Point 

4. Spagnolo ate Shanahan alive 

5. Reid figured out Wilks (who is terrible) in the 2nd half 

 

Game.

I saw it as him jumping up in celebration, then when he landed he came down funny and tore it

I don't know from the clip I remember seeing him and a few other all seemed like they were all prepared to race on to the field and then when they went the others kept going and he went down because of the injury.

I don’t agree.

 

If you don't agree that Allen had a better game against the Eagles and Chiefs in the playoffs than Mahomes did tonight, I don't believe you. And 100% for sure if Allen played like Mahomes did in the first 3 quarters tonight, we would have been blown out by the 49ers. And that's not unique to Allen. Most teams can't get away with scoring 3 points or less in a half against two different playoff opponents and win both of them.

Is it just me or was the CBS broadcast a bit lacking?

 

They never showed the coaches meet post game. They never showed Shanahan's post game comments, no sign off from Nance and Romo...

 

Then an abrupt cut to a new show. 

 

Just odd

I mean this may be an agree to disagree type situation haha imo he should have HAD to make even more plays but the chiefs defense always bails them out when they make mistakes.  Comes down to how you see the game of football personally I guess

 

 Chris jones shows up when they need a big play on the defensive side whenever they need one which took a ton of pressure off the chiefs offense all year 

CJ is a first ballot HOFER. But cmon, let's be realistic. I've been watching football for over 50 years, and NOBODY has done what this kid has done so far. Great coach? Yes. Great surrounding cast? Yes. But he's in the conversation as the GOAT now, 6 years in. That's crazy stuff

San Fran has 4th and 4, and kicks a FG in OT. 
 

You can’t do that against Mahomes.
 

The traditional rules don’t apply when you play him. Have to assume you cannot stop him— since no one can in the clutch— and just go for the TD.

Their defense had held them to 4 FGs already. I get their thinking on kicking there.

Saying the Bills are comically unlucky is like saying the sky is blue but...

 

We are so unlucky to get good at the same time as Reid got Mahomes. The sad part is how damn close we are to the Chiefs in playing ability, but will never get that kind of recognition.

People upset at the Mahomes draft trade forget that Reid is one of the top few HCs of all time and has been good for 20+ years and also has a great staff 

Spags is the one making the real difference.  At least he did this year.

KC were helped by Superbowl Shanahan refusing to run the ball for most of the 3rd Quarter. All those quick 3 and outs gave the Chiefs plenty of time and possessions to launch a comeback.

 

The thing with Mahomes is just his ability to not make mistakes in the clutch. It is Brady-like. He plays those end of game scenarios perfectly time and again.

Great point.  It’s Mahomes, that’s how !

that and the refs not calling holding or intentional grounding.  Like you said, Brady like.

Because no one can stop Mahomes late when the game is on the line. But suddenly San Fran is going to do it for the first time? I don’t like those odds.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. Their D was gassed and it seemed like they coached that last drive hoping to hold them to 3 and maybe get the ball back.

I saw another forum with this. Ouch!

 

You got to hand it to Buffalo. Not only did we give the Chiefs the pick that got them Mahomes, the fact that we couldn't stop them with 13 seconds changed the OT rule which allowed them to win today. You can't make this stuff up

Shanahan was the reason I had little faith in SF.

I think the Bills best chance to get over the hump is to fire McDermott and bring in Belichick next season, but that will never happen.

 

A few of years ago I would have never wanted him but he does have a history of beating Reid in big games.

I thought we left these takes back in 2019 when Josh got good but I guess they're gonna keep popping up like herpes

Agreed, he was fantastic at the end. Didn't make any spectacular plays, but made every play that was there to be had and that was enough. And I don't want to undersell that simply making the necessary plays at the end is a real skill that most players can't execute consistently. Still I would give the bulk of this win to the Chiefs defense and special teams over the offense. An underrated series was after Mahomes threw a bad INT at midfield the Chiefs defense forced a 3 and out and a punt. Stuff like that is really what separates them from the rest of the league.

 

Of course if the 49ers simply kick the XP or don't screw up a punt return none of that matters...

People around here have a tough time admitting it.  Mahomes is the best. If people watch all the little things he does and does not do… including what you mentioned. He’s the absolute best.  Allen is an excellent and fun football player to watch.  He’s not the QB Mahomes is though.

Nah even under the old OT rules both teams possessed if the first team only scored a FG.

Mahomes didn’t play the Eagles or the Chiefs tonight. And, neither did Allen. So it’s kind of moot there.

 

Allen would’ve gotten the same benefit Mahomes did tonight, which is your golden boy Shanahan, the “best offensive mind” in the league, forgetting to run the ball in the Super Bowl, again.

Totally disagree. They are on one another’s levels. The difference is, and always will be, the coaching staff puts Mahomes in many more ways to be successful on the field.

Surely KC winning in OT with Taylor Swift and friends being used by the NFL for never ending clout is the most obnoxious thing I’ll see all night.  
 

Oh, good Lord…

 

 


That can’t be real…?

If the 49ers kick the XP I think KC wins in regulation. They still had a timeout remember. They'd have managed the clock very differently on that final drive and I reckon they'd have scored a TD. Sure, the botched put return hurt, but both teams turned it over multiple times it was a sloppy game. 

 

I think the main reason the Chiefs were able to come back is Shanahan mismanaged the game again. Once he got back to McCaffrey they moved the ball again. It wasn't rocket science.

Any more proof that two positions are the diff between playoff caliber and SB winning? QB, HC. We have 1.75 of those positions LOL

Chris Jones is the type of player McDermott has chased and couldn't get. He was huge against Buffalo and today in OT
