I was thinking about how this game was a microcosm of our past heartbreak. Missed kicks by Elliot and Butker. Pass to himself by Marriotta and Mayfield, A second half lead in danger because the offense couldn't score against Indy and Cleveland, and a concussion on Montana and Mahomes. I gotta admit. I had some serious PTSD with all of that going on and I thought for sure that they were going to lose. But this time it was different. Mayfield didn't score a TD on that tipped pass, Butker made just enough kicks to keep the lead, Henne made plays to keep the clock moving, and Andy Reid had the courage to go for it on 4th and short at midfield to ice the game. Man. It sure is nice to be on the winning side. This team truly is special. [Reply]

By next season he could be on the doorstep of the top 10 in all time wins, up with Brees, Wilson, Kelly, Marino, Young, Eli, who have 9. Bradshaw, horseface and fivehead have 14. Could be halfway there this season. Incredible.
After that Montana 16, Brady 32. At 25 Brady and Montana had 3 with one super bowl.
Exactly, this has been a thing for a while now. Of course, it all goes out the window when Mahomes leaves the game, too. [Reply]
I was calm as a clam during the entire game. Winning the Super Bowl last year took away 50 years of immense pain and suffering so I feel free to enjoy the Mahomes Magic or Henne Houdini. [Reply]
