This whole “Super Bowl fatigue” makes no sense when you consider that the Chiefs had like 24 days off between their last meaningful regular season game and the start of the playoffs… and then another bye week before the Super Bowl.
I can understand some residual effects of a third straight Super Bowl run… but all that time off during the past month wasn’t enough to have the team better prepared to play on Sunday?
It should say a lot that we used to have a constant stream of coaches like Pederson, Nagy, Kafka, and Daboll being poached from our coaching staff and that all of a sudden isn’t happening. There are few if any voices on the coaching staff who are seen as viable coaching options elsewhere in the NFL. [Reply]

Maybe this offseason the team could travel to Nepal, ascend Mount Everest, and stop 10 feet from the summit because they're tired. That'd be cool. [Reply]
