Super Bowl - KC vs. SF

[caryhorn]

Sabre, I appreciate your anecdote and insight. I don’t doubt that he could make all of the throws in HS because I’ve seen his ability now. I never really saw him playing amazingly at Tech though. His record at Tech was 13-19. His best record in any season at Tech was 7-6. So it’s really unbelievable that he could go from that level of mediocrity to single handedly winning a SB.

Mahomes was never mediocre. Scouts were on him (baseball and football) from middle school until Andy Reid traded up to draft him.

I disagree. His receivers are pro level. They are not all pro. Except of course Travis Kelci who is all pro.
San Francisco is a great defensive team. They held the Chiefs to 19 points in regulation. They can make offenses look bad—especially one that plays its home games about 20 miles from my house whose QB is named Dac.

Mahomes is special.

Completely disagree. According to the Chiefs own website, the receivers depth chart is 1a) Rice - a rookie with 900yds receiving. 1b) Hardman - who caught 15 passes for 124yds this season, and never more than 600yds or so in any season. 1c) Ross - another rookie who caught 6 passes for 53yds.

2a) Valdes-Scantling - who caught 21 passes for 315yds this season 2b) Watson - from Penn (not Penn State but the Ivy Penn) who caught 27 passes for 460yds - all career highs by far.

With all due respect for the enormous accomplishment of making it to the NFL, which I do not mean to minimize in any way, none of these guys are great. And in fact they could all be easily replaced. These are JAGs not pro players in the sense that they’re even good at that level. So I stand by my point that Mahomes did it with Kelce and Reid alone.

Thankfully the parade was over. How sad have we become that we can't celebrate in safety

Not sure if you're serious, but they even said in the broadcast that on the Kelce catch it was actually short of the line to gain and that the imaginary yellow line was in the wrong spot on the telecast. Mahomes' short scramble OOB was the 1st down. It's why whoever cut that clip didn't show the beginning of that play, because then the viewer would do the math and see that the pass play only went 9 yards.

Yes, exactly. Kelce’s knee was ruled down short of the line, a questionable spot, and not what the broadcasters and public saw, which is why the broadcast said first down. The announcers —as you said—made the observation in real time right away to clarify ( which also explained why Mahomes so casually took the 2 yard gain).

along those lines, I actually had a guy this week tell me the Super Bowl was rigged, and he went on to describe some fantastic numerology, whereby the game was all about Joe Montana and the numbers 16 and 19, and something about the number 3 and how Mahomes’ father got his third DUI that week, and he looked at me meaningfully “and,(!) it was black history month!” (He was serious.)
