They made no adjustments. Should have kept in some blockers. Reid and EB had a bad day.

Re: Super Bowl Gameday Thread

Chiefs had no answer for protecting their tackles once they had to move guys around to replace LT Fisher. You really do need AT LEAST 3 starting caliber Ts on your team bc injuries are guaranteed. They dont need to be all pros but youd better have a Cornelius Lucas type guy as your swing tackle.

That high powered offense couldnt run with the piss poor pass pro.

Wasnt the most boring Super Bowl to watch but it wasnt a good game either.

I found myself hoping for a power outage to give KC a reset.

Stoping the Run and running the ball is still a winning formula

The referee talk is loser talk

I don't think anyone is blaming the officials, but the NFL has got a problem with consistency of officiating. When you watch the Packers game, for the most part unless it was egregious, they were allowed to play. Last night, it was effectively the opposite. If multiple people are saying the same thing, then it's a thing. When one team plays aggressive man coverage a lot, and the other plays more zone, it creates an imbalance if you call every innocuous contact. In many games I've seen that PI on Evans get uncalled, as it was incidental contact. The holding on the INT was the lamest example of holding I've seen, especially compared to what TB and GB got away with in the NFC championship.

KC lost that game in the 1st qtr when it was so obvious they couldn't protect Mahomes. But the officiating ensured it was all over by half time. It's the biggest game of the season, one the NFL wants to be a showcase; the officiating shouldn't get a mention except to compliment how good it is. Not the case last night.

This could be said of every game day thread from every club, the refs are horrible and deserve their share of blame but ultimately it usually evens out over a season.

Idk if it is that easy to adjust out of the heat the Bucs bought especially with that porous oline play. Also not sure it is that obvious they didn’t try. When you dominate every defense you play for two years im sure you are thinking it will happen eventually and lets go with what has worked for so long....
Also on a couple of those 20 yard drops he threw balls on his head that should’ve or could’ve still been caught.

The Chiefs oline and secondary lost that game. Nobody else.

Re: Super Bowl Gameday Thread

If the other team gets home rushing 4 all game, to the tune of a Super Bowl record, there is not much you can do pre-snap to fix it. Mahomes had no chance. I'm sure there were a few plays he could've done more, but that's the same every game. If you have 5 guys that can't remotely get close to blocking 4 guys, your offense doesn't have much of a chance.

Re: Super Bowl Gameday Thread

Yes, Mahomes made some incredible throws escaping and throwing under pressure .. with a turf toe to boot. I honestly dont know how much he was calling adjustments or protections but he seemed very non-vocal compared to TB.

hes 25. he was the chiefs best O player by far. loss not on Mahomes. but I was surprised he didnt seem to take control pre snap.

I imagine an Aaron Rodgers/Drew brees/Tom Brady would have been very vocal. things have seemingly come easy for the Chiefs. They can dictate the style of play and never have to adjust. Basically got punched in the mouth last night and never got up.

I thought Bucs showed blitz and blitzed a good bit. All that pressure wasnt just from rushing 4. At one point the Bucs blitzed both corners.

The Bucs clearly showed that they were the best team in the NFL this year. Best team doesn't always win. This year they did. Hats off to them.

It is sooooo important. Im almost as concerned about our run game going forward as I am about the quarterback position. Not necessarily just our rb corp but the blocking and scheming. I mean we had zero run game this year. Zero. Man that will help us if we can improve it.
