Man it must suck to have 2 of the top 10 players in the NFL in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, according to the players themselves, and still not be able to score a single touchdown in the Super Bowl. How embarrassing. That was with Tyreek Hill, too. I notice though that everyone talks about Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes... and no one else. I notice that Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill were covered in the Super Bowl, and Mahomes ran around for 500 years (legends say he's still running around, extending a play even now), and no one else Ever got open. I notice that despite consistent tight coverage on them, often double coverage, all other KC WRs and TEs Combined for a total of 41 yards (off 18 attempts!), and the only way the ball was moved
at all was by forcing it to those two via heroics.
You've got 2 more years before the 3 of them combine for an 80 million cap hit, so they had better be good. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, as has been clearly demonstrated, having 3 good players isn't enough to win the Super Bowl. And please, spare me regarding the Chiefs offensive line. They fired the people who Didn't Play, and hired new people to replace their Injured Starters. The quality of the starters was never the issue, it was Depth. The Chiefs are front loaded, and their backups can't cut it, so if they suffer any injuries (to their one half decent RB, their O Line, or heaven forbid Hill, Kelce, or Mahomes) their season is over. In football, good luck with that. Add to all of that, their defense just isn't good, and was not substantially improved this offseason because they were so focused on their non-existent O Line
Finished 22nd in DVOA last year, and got torn up to the tune of 31 points in the Super Bowl, and no one is even talking about it because the offense was so bad
So yeah, that's how they lose, you cover Kelce and Hill, and rip through their subpar defense. I know, I know, who am I as a Patriots fan to talk, it's not like we made a bunch of waves last year, but let's be real. You and I both know that the Patriots had nowhere near the talent on the roster the Chiefs did based on those same rankings, and we both know the gap between the Patriots and Chiefs has already diminished from where it was a year ago. I'm just saying bragging about how you have the best player in the NFL and STILL can't get it done seems a little weird to me.
(BTW all of that in good fun, good to have you around, you did ask for it
