Rinse and repeat.
I for one have never said any of those things. [Reply]

ALSO know...there is a reason why Brady is reputedly jealous of Mahomes' weapons. He has a lot!
I do respect Shanahan. And I believe our secondary will miss Thornhill. I expect this to be a very entertaining SB. I think the best 2 teams this year are playing. 9ers had a good run. NOT sorry we shall end it.
Going to the gym means nothing if your diet don’t change. Just like having all those studs on our Dline. It means nothing if we can’t get Mahomes to the ground. [Reply]
I’m not going to take any takes seriously if they reference where the Chiefs ranked league wide offensively or defensively in the regular season.
The Chiefs offense was destroyed by injuries and still ended up as one of the best statistically.
The Chiefs defense also dealt with injuries, but more significantly featured like 6 new starters and a new scheme with a new coaching staff.
If anyone thinks that those rankings mean anything with THIS Chiefs team, then they are some combination of stupid ad lazy.
Obviously, either team can win. I’m not guaranteeing anything, but basing your pick off of the Chiefs’ regular season statistical rankings is ignorant. [Reply]
To start the year, they were getting absolutely gashed by every rushing attack. Over the last half of the season, they did not. It's as simple as that.
If this Titans game had been played in week 2, Henry would have finished with 200 yards. [Reply]
ESPN's Football Power Index predictor has the Chiefs winning probability for this game at about 65%, vs. about 35% for the 49ers.
I have no idea how accurate of a predictor the FPI has been this season, but that seems like a significant gap considering the point spread, and the general consensus that it is a toss up game. [Reply]

Thanks for the heads up..... The dietitian I meet with will be pleased that you agree with her. I hope to have more success than your Dline.
And while we are exchanging tips.... it's "doesn't', not "don't in that context. But how does a stupid, inbred mid-westerner know that??.... [Reply]

Andy needs to be on his game. He's got a bye going in, they'll have it figured out. Getting off to a quick start is pretty important here. Get out ahead of them and make them start throwing it around.
I think you might see the same plan the Patriots had against the elite Seahawks defense in the Super Bowl.
A lot of quick passes, screens, deception.
We can actually get away with that due to pure speed. [Reply]
Good article linked below on how the Patriots implemented a 6-1 defense (six on the defensive line) in the Super Bowl to bottle up the wide zone runs the Rams were famous for last year. The Rams saw that same defensive alignment against several teams this year, and their offense suffered because of it. I'm not sure if teams tried to run this against the Niners this year...but wouldn't be surprised to see it sprinkled in throughout our game. Daly knows how to deploy it - he was at NE last year.
This is where the whole stats conversation started. Poster “The Franchise” posted this tweet.
No one was talking stats till this. In which I said “funny that the only weeks that count are the ones that fit the narrative” The entire season tell a different story.
But to be honest, I don’t care about the stats. [Reply]
