vmax Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Last game of the year! ESPN's Football Power Index: Chiefs, 52.1% (by 0.7 points). They are calling this tight. Almost a toss up. Tickets as low as $4,932! Team Stats Points Per Game 29.6 30.8 Points Allowed Per Game 20.5 23.0 Total Yards 425.3 393.4 Yards Passing 312.8 298.5 Yards Rushing 112.4 94.9 Yards Allowed 366.0 366.3 Pass Yards Allowed 245.5 280.7 Rush Yards Allowed 120.5 85.7 Brady vs Mahomes. Who shines? Will Brady through the costly pick? He's thrown 12 this year...3 in the Championship 2 weeks ago. Both have a ton of offensive weapons. Which D will do the best? Do you see a high scoring game? Over/Under 56.5 Who do you pick to win? Who are you pulling for? Him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I really think the Chiefs are the better team but I would not go against Brady. If the game is close in the 4th would you? Lots of offensive weapons on the field so it should be a shootout. Which of course means it will probably be a 10-6 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 For some odd inexplicable reason, I don't think that either Brady or Mahomes will be lights out hot. Both will be a little off. Off enough for this to be a close game. Mahomes only has 4 TD passes in the post season yet a very good 90.1 QBR. Brady 79.1. Completion percentage? Mahomes a whopping 73.5%. Brady 55%. I feel that Tom is running out of stream. After saying that, you can be sure he ends up the SB MVP. I'm trying to get excited about this game and nobody here is helping!

tsylvester Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Interesting game for sure, Brady has thrown 3 picks in the last game, most certainly should have been 4 if the GB defender had hands. Mahomes has a make shift line, but has quick & speedy players to offset the pressure. I'll watch the first half, been a long while, the Ravens last super bowl, since I fore went sleep to watch a game. The commercials, the crappy long half time show, are just too much to take my interest from this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a rare appearance, they will tell you what will happen should you get distracted during the game. " "Let us introduce ourselves. We, Your Beloved Board of Directors, meet once a year to rubber stamp a series of documents and motions that dee put's in front of us. This is a most necessary legal requirement. Occasionally, we are asked to think. Like now. By unanimous consent, we see the outcome of this game as really simple. So simple that any idiot can see it. Mahomes and the KC offense will feast on the Bucs secondary. Safeties Jordan Whitehead and Antione Winfield JR are banged up and this leaves wide, swathing, gaping holes for the Track Meet Offense of the Chiefs. It won't be concussions that the Bucs secondary has to worry about but it will be whiplash. This games will not even be close....not to ruin it for you...carry on. At least you have the commercials."

papasmurfbell Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 That game was awful. The officials were to much of the game. Two plays come to mind. The db who got his feet tangled up with Evans. That is incidental. Pringle in the end zone didn't get a holding penalty on tb. It should have been 1st and goal but the ball went back to tb on downs.

You'd think it was from the Ravens after one of their brain fart playoff losses.... Quote "I just think we weren't on the same page as an offense,'' Mahomes said. "I wasn't getting the ball out on time. The receivers were running routes not exactly where I thought they were going to be at. The offensive line, they were good sometimes and sometimes they let guys through. When you play a good defense like that, you've got to be on the same page as an offense, and we weren't today and that's why we played so bad...Patrick Mahomes says Super Bowl LV loss was 'worst I've been beaten in long time' (espn.com) All in all, it was a lousy game. The Chiefs didn't show up and they had no answer or adjustment for the Bucs D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
