I like Mahomes don't get me wrong.

But Ryan Clark is putting him in the GOAT conversation already with Brady and Montana? 

Little early in my opinion. He's on that trajectory but a long ways away from those 2 especially Brady.

In the second half, Mahomes’ time to throw was 2.23 seconds — the fastest of his career. 

The pass rush had zero shot. 

What was it in the first half? granted they only had 8 mins of time of possession. 

If I told you before the game that Mahomes would throw for less than 200 yards, how may would have expected a win?

I don't remember the redzone defense being that bad. Wasn't exactly something new to learn but that was a surprise to me

Just now, Sack that QB said:

Not sure how it would be, the defense was pretty loaded with talent and they'll likely be losing key guys from it. It's pretty likely the defense is worse next season, honestly. And even if they lose Gannon, there's no guarantee they the replacement is some stud.

The defense can be less talented, but be better as a unit. Look at the Bengals. They're not loaded with studs, but play well as a team. I would argue that the Broncos this year also fall into this category.

Idk he’s won two mvps, two SB mvps, 2 SBs and 5 afc title games in 5 years as a starter. That’s ridiculous. Really brady is the only one close to that type of accomplishment in the first 5 years as a starter. Heck if not for a makeshift decimated oline vs. the Bucs and Dee ford jumping offsides he might have even more   

This may seem far fetched and maybe I'm grasping  at straws because I'm wrecked but I'm convinced the league knew how bad that field would be and new covering it in paint would make it so slippery and did it on purpose as to avoid another von Miller super bowl.

When astro turf first came into play it made the game faster and more high scoring until defenses figured out that it made them faster of the edge as well.

All the sudden every team in the league has sine 250 pound speedball  edge rusher, and we here all this talk about converting speed to power and all the sudden these little speed balls like vin Miller are wrecking games.

I'm sure the league seeing their MVP with a high ankle sprain and the eagles knocked Ng out the niners two and thought we can't have a super bowl where our immobile marquee guy gets knocked out if the game, no one wants to see the chiefs starting RB throwing passes after Chad henne goes out so what we going to do.

Cover the whole crappy field in effin paint so it's like playing on an oil slik which will totally take phillys  pass rush out of the game and keep mahommes safe and  turn it into a high flying high scoring an duel instead of an actual football game with defense.

And that's what we got.

One incompletion in the  2nd half by mahommes as the eagles DEs were skating all over that field, just an atrocious showing by the NFL and they should be embarrassed but they won't because they made a truckload of money last night so who cares right...😡

He runs Fangio’s system almost to a tee. It’s basically a "what would Fangio do” Defense. Except Fangio developed it for a specific team under specific circumstances.

Then the guy has no business running a defense. Maybe a position coach

Cheffers called the holding call that knocked the Falcons out of FG range, that would have iced the game.

(Falcons fans still are salty about that)

Yup.  Both defining games for Brady with the comeback and NFL lead spokesman Mahomes with the "bad ankle".  They made it like the Curt Schilling bloody sock game and the Jordan tongue out game all in one

He works at a private High School in Naples, FL. Not even joking, my dad works there. Eugene Chung is the Athletic Director there too.

No idea, but for the game it was 2.48.

I can't believe some people in this blog said this was a routine throw.

Sensing a snarky backbeat to this question here, that's okay. I'm pissed too. I read your stuff, don't heap on me...

Defense needs a Co Ordinater that can adjust on the fly. Appears Gannon can't. The tools were there, the challenges identified, didn't make adjustments to KCs attack. That was a fail.

Okay?

I can’t think of a worse mood than I’m in right now. Maybe the the Bucs shutting down the Vet. I don’t remember being this depressed. 

I'm with you. This is the most depressed I've ever been after an Eagles loss. If that flag wasn't thrown I'm not sure I'd feel this way. Yes, he got away with one earlier, but you can't tell me the Chiefs didn't either and if they aren't calling that all game they can't call it there. The opportunity to see what happens was stolen from us. Maybe the Chiefs stop them and I'd be sad but not having to wonder what if.

We knew that all season. He can't make adjustments on the fly. 

Scoring 35 points should be enough to win the Super Bowl; the defense just didn't play well enough to close the deal after taking a 24-14 lead.  Kansas City were a 14-3 team just like the Eagles were.  It seems strange to me that folks think the Eagles are so much better on paper -- they're not.  

Eagles had an advantage with their WR over the Chiefs young secondary and that played out.  Smith and Brown combined for almost 200 yards.  The Eagles are a slightly better team in the trenches, not that much better.  On this night the Chiefs OL was better, and Mahomes got the ball out quick.  The Eagles OL didn't do a good enough job in the run game.  The Chiefs front 7 did a lot to neutralize the Eagles "advantage"; the Eagles only rushed for just over 100 yards in the game.  Game was lost in the trenches, and Reid did a great job scheming up those goal line plays on their last 2 TDs.  

Some of you guys want to get out the pitchforks like it's the first time the Chiefs have ever scored 38 points in a game.  The Eagles kept the KC offense off the field in the first half -- they weren't able to do it in the second half.

 if he was 2.63 in first half and 2.33 in the second half then average is 2.48. But I’m not sure if that’s entirely accurate

He was doing very little reading of the defense.  They were almost all schemed-open plays, and they were wide ass open immediately

It would depend on the pass attempts.

2 Super Bowl victories... 

 

Bradshaw has 4.  Aikman has 3.  Bart Starr has 2 (not counting the NFL Championships before the Super Bowl).  

Now... let's look at the QBs with 2.
Peyton Manning, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Jim Plunkett, John Elway, Ben Rothlisberger, Eli Manning.

 

That puts him into elite company, but not 'Goat' territory yet.  Is he on the right trajectory?  Yes.  Has he achieved that plateau?  No.
