Tampa was the 5th worst rushing team in the regular season. They ran for the 8th fewest yards per carry. They’re averaging under 4 yards per carry in the postseason, which is even worse than they were in the regular season. [Reply]

Because they can't play intense or focused without extra motivation. [Reply]

Truth is...KC knew exactly what they were doing. They suckered Tampa into putting adjustments on film for 2 quarters..
Now they can devise a cat-n-mouse game plan...Spags was smart enough not to put too much on film for Brady. [Reply]
These are some hidden elements that dont get discussed...They already had a great game plan a few weeks ago then backed off of it once they were up big.
Now they have 2 weeks to re-tweak it...this should an amazing plan by Reid. IMO. [Reply]

It's funny how some of those narratives came out of the woodwork once the Chiefs won the AFC.... it very quickly went from "not winning by enough!" and "sleepwalking!" to "the genius coaching staff has been playing vanilla!" and "the Chiefs just shut it down!". Cowherd said the latter, comparing them to an NBA dynasty. [Reply]

We watched this team every week. We didn't know what we were seeing when they kept winning close games. Then we observed the first half against the Browns when they dominated and we watched the entire game against the Bills. There's no reason to think Mahomes isn't going to annihilate this Bucs defense.
This team is going to pull out all the stops. No holding back. [Reply]
