After getting a chance to sit down and watch the second half of that game yesterday I am much more relieved to be playing Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl this year. It is obvious that Brady’s age has finally caught up to him, but he’s just arrogant enough to not realize it yet. Which can be a great thing for us. The fact that Bruce Arians is one of the most overrated coaches in the NFL should play into our hands as well. I mean let me break down that second half for you...
GB fumbles away a TD essentially to start the first half 28-10, GB answers making it 28-17.
BA comes out with 2 rushing plays for 14 yards and then abandons all logic with 2 straight deep pass attempts from his 43 year old tennis elbow QB. Obviously one of those is picked off.
GB scores making the game tighter.
Luckily TB gets saved with a great return and they drive into field goal range... with a 5 point lead in the 4th quarter. The obvious decision at that point is...throw it deep for an interception? Ok TB and BA...we see you!
Rodgers does another 3 and out discount double check.
A run and a short pass setup a nice 3rd and 2 and they...throw up ANOTHER deep duck to the Packers...I mean...it’s like Jake from State Farm was the QB at this point just trying to give Rodgers the best deal he could.
Thankfully for TB Rodgers did his championship game disappearing act and they finally realized Father Time had caught up to Brady and reeled in the throws to chunk out a FG, but the faith BA has an Brady is astounding and I can’t wait to see how embarrassing it becomes for the old man in the second half of this one. Nothing better than those patented Brady sideline pouts that the Chiefs have become so accustomed to seeing now!
Brady 1/5 on deep balls in the second half with 3 of those 4 incompletions being picked off. Absolutely terrifying stuff. [Reply]

Brady 0/3 on deep balls in the second half...well 2/3 if he was playing for GB. Stuff of legend. That whole second half just let it all sink in how lucky we are to be witnessing what Mahomes is doing for our team the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs!
I thought about this this morning. As long as we don't turn the ball over we should win.
They're kinda like a slightly better version of the Steelers [Reply]

Andy Reid off a bye.
Anal fissures.
We moved the ball well against Denver but certainly didn't do what you suggest. Couldn't put them away in the red zone and were below average on third down. That's why that game was close. Agreed on the other two games. [Reply]

Two things on this.
1. After we just absolutely demolished a good bills team everyone should be giving us respect.
2. They bought their Superbowl. Went all in, in one off season. Hard to get chippy about a bunch of players who are rentals. I'm guessing the majority know who and what they are.
Bills fans just thought they'd won the Mahomes trade and thought they had developed better talent and were the next thing. They weren't. They got out played, out classed, and fully depantsed in front of the whole school.

And no their front isn’t as good as SF but they’re pretty goddamned good.
Barrett-27.5 sacks last 2 seasons (3 in GB).
JPP-18 sacks last 2 years (2 in GB)
Suh-6 sacks this year
With this OL I think the gameplan is going to be very similar to what we did in the SB last year.
Keep in mind Vita Vea returned Sunday, too. [Reply]
I need to watch the Saints game back. Offensive line was Fisher-Allegretti-Reiter-Wis-Wylie.
But, Fish was playing well below 100% and was worse than whatever you’re going to get from Remmers in a couple weeks probably. So that version of the line against NO is probably worst case for the SB in terms of the quality of play we will see. [Reply]

The game where Mahomes got hit the most? Yeah, not good. [Reply]
Only highlights but you see here a concentrated effort to provide Wylie help — Barrett will get chipped plenty. Mahomes makes a lot of magic throughout and there are a share of plays where they get it out quick like they’ll need to in 2 weeks.
That Saints game is WORST case scenario. Fish really struggled, I’m not sure he was more than 70%. [Reply]
