Super Bowl LV

[NewtonHawk11]

Chiefs got destroyed. Ref help or no ref help.

They in no way deserved to win the game.

The lack of second quarter adjustments is what bothers me. Tampa 2 all day long. Zero disguise and it’s not like the Chiefs hadn’t seen that same coverage before and yet Andy calls deep pocket drop backs over and over. By the time he went to the run game in the second half it was to late.
Hell, the general collapse of an entire team that had been through so much was surprising.
So many miscues. Self inflicted mistakes. Andy’s clock management blunder at the end of the first half. The Chiefs picked the worst time to have their worst game in the Mahomes era.

I was also perplexed by this. One team clearly looked more focused and ready to play.

Reid talking about not giving Brady extra chances and then calling a timeout without the ball after watching the GB film. Lining up way offsides on a field goal in the Super Bowl. The weird Matthieu stuff. The Bucs were in the Chiefs’ head from the get go.

The details is what made the difference. Like the Chiefs kind of lived on the edge because they could. Well last night, they couldn't live on the edge.

Andy has a lot of things covered by the magic of Mahomes. He's had some issues that go back to the Philly days with little things like that and his teams coming out flat in big games. A beat up Mahomes and playing backups at 4 of the 5 OL positions showed that Reid was not good with his gameplan.

I'm just hoping for his and Chief's fan's sake that Reid doesn't become Yost part 2 in KC.

That's a really bad comparison.

It sure seems that if Reid does not happily retire in KC it will be because of off-field stuff.

Which, I mean, at a certain point, when does it stop going back to him. His 35 or whatever year old son did something stupid, but yet it’s on Reid? Don’t get it.

He’ll be in KC until he decides he doesn’t want to be.

Oh I'm saying leaving early because of off-field stuff would also be his choice. I'm not Kietzman, haha.

Gotcha. But yeah, awful comparison. None of the Royals guys were going to stick around. The run was going to end. The Chiefs run is going to be indefinite as long as Mahomes is the QB. So until like 2038.

The timeout at the end of the half was dumb but that “PI” was uncatchable and Nantz said as much.

And Reid was a HOFer even before coming to KC. Yost certainly was not, but did prove to be an above-average manager that had his fair share of blunders.

Thought that the son’s mess-up was a bad omen, and sure enough...
This game reminded me of their first Super bowl when the Chiefs couldn’t do squat against the Packers.
Brady and the “Gronk” were great. Gronkowski is a throwback to a previous generation with his lack of tattoos, his buzzed hair. A little goofy but a real stud.

Apples and onions. Football head coaches have much more substantive responsibilities than baseball managers. Yost did a brilliant job getting a group of young guys to grow up together. That fails more often than it succeeds.

My comparison was regarding the fans reactions to them. Not the coaches/mangers themselves.

Mine too. Reid just has too good of a resume for him to get constantly dragged on twitter. Yost did not, even though I do think he did a good job.

Another thing with Reid, he didn't just deliver 2 SB appearances, it has also been the most wildly successful Chiefs decade ever.

Man I listened briefly to Andy this morning during presser.

He is much more vocal than usual on the penalty discrepancy on what he determined as judgement calls in the first half. Said it's really odd to have that many go against you without any going against the other team in 50/50 judgement calls as what they were last night.

Not that it was relevant to the outcome, but I feel like Chris Jones would have been suspended for four 2021 games for crunching Brady the way Suh crunched Mahomes.

Is there a doubt? lol of course. Mahomes got hit in the head so many times last night, only one called. Brady's shoulder gets touched and it's a flag.

What am I missing here? It looks pretty clean to me.

See around the 0:30 mark, he goes in high and appears to make contact with the helmet.

Has anyone bothered to ask the coaches, players, and the refs if it was established BEFORE the game - how the refs planned to call the game?

Pretty much anyone other than Suh and I think it's harmless. Because it's Suh, I think he probably had intent to give Mahomes a little something extra there.

It's discussed a bit beforehand at all levels from high school on, but until it happens, things change and some things get thrown out. Attitude towards refs have a lot to do with it too honestly, and the Chiefs had a pretty shitty (and rightfully so) attitude towards the officials last night.
