I’ve never bought into your argument that neither ref could see the ball. Moot point now, but there is no way the guy with a view of Allen’s back should have been the one to spot the ball in that instance, especially given the fact that the other ref had a different spot. They should have come together to discuss the difference. 

We can't even see the ball here from a camera a good 10 feet in the air, do you really think a likely sub 6' tall person standing on the field is going to be able to see the ball over all those huge players surrounding him?

Refs placing the ball on any play has always been somewhat of a guessing game, it's never been exact.

The fact that it is THIS close of a play to where you can't even exactly tell on replay, shows how much more impossible it would have been for any ref to make that call in real time.  If you want to think this is the league making sure KC wins, so be it, but maybe Buffalo shouldn't have been so close, had they got literally another 6 inches further, it would have been clear he got the 1st.

Why do yall hate someone because they win ?

First it was Brady 

Now it's Mahommes, and he hasn't even been accused of cheating 

Would yall complain if we won the superbowl 3 years in a row ?

It is sports 101, bruh.

I am only hoping Mahomes does well BECAUSE I hate the Pats fans, the franchise and Brady. Otherwise, I wouldn't care at all.

I didn't watch either game today. I knew this snooze fest of a Super Bowl was a certainty. I hope there are about 100 million people living in KC and Philly to make up their viewership because I'm going to skip this SB and I know I'm not alone. 

I honestly don't think watching this Super Bowl would be the most interesting thing to happen to me that day. I have a good BM in the morning and I don't think watching Kendrick and another KC title is even in the running for second.

IDK about winning more than 7 necessarily. Depends on the situations. 

Long way from having that discussion yet.

honestly if the Chiefs win it this year and then both Reid and Mahomes decided to retire (they won't), I'd say they are the GOATs. Brady's longevity is crazy but he and Belichick never dominated the league quite like this.

From the live TV angle it looked like he got it

Pretty wild to see folks dunking on Josh Allen when he threw a catchable ball past the sticks on an absolute jailbreak of a blitz where his OL looked like they'd been blindfolded and had their hands tied behind their backs.

Yeah, I'm not sure what else he was supposed to do on that play. He had like 5 guys in his face immediately seemingly untouched, nobody open down field and still managed to put it in a spot where his guy had a chance to make a play, even hit the receiver in the hands. Somehow he needs to do even more than that?

This

I spent way too many years hating guys like Brady and Lebron just because they won a lot.  I'd rather be able to enjoy knowing I'm watching a true generational talent in their prime than just hate watch them and be angry.

Sure I hate that Brady beat us in the SB, but that was a long time ago and after everything else he was able to accomplish after that game, I came around on him too.

It's why I'm rooting for and following Wemby's career right now, it's why I want to see KC 3-peat.  I'm getting too old to hate all time greats because they win and did nothing else to make me hate them, I'd rather just enjoy watching the greatness.

    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
