Fangio has the 5th lowest blitz rate in the league so this would be surprising.
Blitzing Mahomes is the last thing you want to do. He kills teams that bring more than 4. [Reply]

I'm re-watching the highlights of the Saints-Eagles game in New Orleans just to see how fast they really are on turf. Fangio was sending the dogs after Carr in that one... [Reply]

I hope we just destroy this team to an extent we have never seen in this entire run.
Dude, if it didn't impact the AFCCG there's zero reason to think it will impact the SB. The crying was more loud after the divisional round. [Reply]

I don’t know man, I hope you’re right, but I think you give this league too much credit. They are so hyper concerned with their image, and this is a much bigger stage than the divisional round. It feels like the media is really not holding back on this topic, either.
I just saw a clip of some amateur reporter asking Mahomes who his favorite ref is. Pat looked like he wanted to punch the dude in the throat, which he fully deserved. Hopefully, we just kick the ever loving shit out of them and it won’t matter. I think there’s a real chance that happens, too. [Reply]

Just can't have turnovers by the KC Offense. That has been THE driving force of both the Eagles and the Bills. Avoid dumb turnover mistakes to guarantee that the game does not get out of hand in the early quarters. Eagles pass rushers will get worn down after 3 quarters, just like we've seen in two Super Bowls against a very strong Niners pass rush.
On the flip side, it would be really nice if the Chiefs Defense can get some turnovers on the Eagles Offense. I counted 12 turnover worthy plays by the Houston Texans & Buffalo Bills, yet zero turnovers to show for it in those 2 games. [Reply]

That graphics designer should be waterboarded. [Reply]

Brady’s shouldn’t count. He missed the playoffs in 02 [Reply]

So what Brady did in 5 years is equivalent to what Mahomes has almost done in 3? Great marketing by the NFL as always… [Reply]

If the refs and NFL really have thin skin, they’d be more likely to favor the Chiefs.
1 - As a fuck you to the people complaining
2 - If the refs intentionally fucked the Chiefs, it would give validity to these arguments (“see??? chiefs can’t win without the refs!!!”)
The Chiefs completing a 3-peat would just show they’re the best team. Chiefs falling short due to bad calls would prove the crybabies are correct. [Reply]

If the ref thing were a real concern, they would addressed it well before now. The NFL is more popular than ever. They're not going to lick a gift horse in the mouth. [Reply]
