Crappy OL on the chiefs plus refs cheering for brady made that happen.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist on game outcomes, but I turned the game off just before halftime and told my wife the league had pretty clearly issued the three defensive backfield officials a "point of emphasis." 

Sadly, at least for me, it overshadows what looked like a well-devised and executed defensive game plan on the Bucs part. 

I am back to where I was in 2017 with the NFL after that game: if the Panthers are on here, I'll watch it.  The rest is noise that I can see the ashes of by checking the standings on Monday or Tuesday. Under Goodell's leadership, the league has steadily slid downhill from sport to "sports entertainment." 

Probably the only reason I watched more non-Panther games this year was the fact the NHL did not start until January.

For those complaining about the Refs..    every reply I saw,  KC  WAS HOLDING..   Lined up offsides when TB was punting, etc etc..
Then I watched the TB defensive backs ,  " just in time defense " knocking down pass after pass without holding.  

Had KC been allowed to hold against our Panthers in a Super Bowl,  we'd have been screaming. 

KC's defense lost it mentally.. they made mental mistake after mental mistake. 

We have also seen that bringing in a franchise QB..  a truly top 5 QB..  can change a team from the out house to the penthouse .    We have plenty of Offensive talent at the skill positions.  4 , 1000 yrd players. We need to go balls to the wall to get a talent like Watson.

Fun fact the top 5 offenses in the nfl all were in the championship games, can’t say the same for the top 5 defenses 

Here is another fun fact: teams with top 10 scoring defenses win the Super Bowl.

How does that change the fact offense>>>>defense?

 

last two SB champs the offense were ranked higher 

Saying offense is greater than defense is subjective, especially in light of the fact that every champion since 2013--part of this era where the NFL has went out of its way to protect QBs and receivers--has had a top 10 scoring defense. 

You obviously don't usually win a championship if you don't have any offense at all, but take two teams which are prolific on offense, the one with the markedly better defense will win! Point blank!

Backup starting tackles. That's actually is evidence that supports defense wins championships.  As the players were able to play as well as the starters would have against a good defense. 

Refs? That's every game played, and isn't a legitimate excuse. Sure, fans can be upset over it, but that's where it ends. 

The most complete team? Absolutely,  and a good defense is a part of that equation.  

Tom Brady had pretty pedestrian stats in the game, which also is evidence supporting the fact that defense wins Championships.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
