Iām 42% certain that whomever wins will have the greatest fans in the world, Frank said, but Iām going to be planting 42 hills of potatoes that day.
I am torn on who to root for. I really donāt want Brady to win again, but I do welcome the opportunity to point out that Belichik has been a below average coach without him
I donāt want Brady to win for 18,000,000,000,000,ā¦,000,013 reasons. But, if KC won it would give great joy to an ex-boss who was lousy and who would crow all about it to everyone where heās at, and most people there already generally dislike him. So, itās like a couple years ago where I obviously didnāt want Brady to win, but I also didnāt want the Rams to win because I didnāt want all the entitled bandwagon LA Rams fans who wonāt give a shit about the team in 7 years when theyāre having back-to-back 6-10 teams and Kroenkeās new stadium is hosting games with about 45,000 fans, and I was hoping both teams would lose.
Also, fuck Stan Kroenke.
So, I guess Iām really hoping for the same here: both teams lose.
I donāt have an NFL allegiance, except maybe a slight residual bias against the Cardinals from being trained to hate Bidwell as a youth. If I have a preference for a particular team it would be because someone I know will be happy if they win. A coworker (surely not Tedās old boss, because that doesnāt match with this guy at all) will be pleased if KC wins, not aware of any TB fans among my friends and acquaintances. Other than that I typically root for the underdog.
Which leads me to wonder why that is. Perhaps it is a more compelling story if the underdog wins the struggle? Sometimes if a favored team is perceived as being āarrogantā it seems like a win for humility. Thatās not to say I donāt admire the struggle a championship team has to put themselves through to succeed, even if they are the favored team.
Join the dark side with me, Steve. We can continue to hate Bill Bidwell, even though heās dead, for running the Cardinals like a 5th-class franchise for years and finally moving them to Phoenix.
Iām just hoping for entertaining SB. My feelings are much the same as Patience above.
However I was just looking at the greatest that is Tom Brady.
This will be his 10th SB. Only 1 NFL franchise has been to more SBs than Brady, the New England Patriots with 11 who Tom took there 9 times.
If Brady wins it will be his 7th championship which will give him personally more rings than any singe Franchise. Heās currently tied with Pittsburgh and New England who he won all of New Englandās trophies as their QB.
Crazy.
well I correctly picked the winner of Super Bowl LV, but I didnāt get the entertaining offensive blowout for which I was hoping. Oh well, MLB starts Spring Training in a few weeks.
Chiefās defense was really underwhelming. Far too many penalties for far too stupid reasons.
It almost looks like Brady paid them all off to make him look good. (FTR, Tom did look good in spite of the help the Chiefās penalties gave his team.)
The officiating in the 1st half was poor. The two PI calls on the last drive of the 1st half were bad and atrocious, respectively. The killer though was the punt that came back on the holding penalty; the punt on the ensuing play only went 29 yards and set up Tampa in great field position. If the Bucs have to start back at their own 30, even scoring on that drive and then tacking on the next Chiefs drive (they went 5 net yards in the 59 seconds after the 2-minute warning) makes it 14-6 at the half. Thatās a workable position, one you donāt come out for the 2nd half thinking āwe have to score on this opening drive.ā
That said, the Chiefs OL was brutal. It looked like they just wanted to get the game over with so they could get to the after-party. OK, yes, they had injuries. That didnāt excuse guys regularly going through the line untouched, guys blowing past linemen with a direct line on Mahomes. Andy Reid was Andy Reid in a big game again. Way too many pass plays, token attention to the running game, poor adjustments during halftime.
I noticed I think in the second half a play where someone caught the ball after it bounced off the other players hand without apparently touching the turf but the ref called it incomplete, the guy who thought it intercepted it was obviously pissed. But me, as an infrequent NFL watcher, was like hang onā¦ wasnāt that the wrong call?
I noticed this especially in the fourth quarter you couldnāt count to 1 before the OL broke. There was one great play where the OL disintegrated, Mahomes does a throw while being tackled and nailed the dude in the face, who failed to catch it
Agreed.
Tom Brady didnāt win this game; the Chiefs OL (what little there was of it) lost it.
I mean, think about it: The KC Offense should score 30 points on anyone. But they didnāt yesterday. Tom Brady did nothing to prevent the KC Offense from scoring.
(Well, except to waste time handing off with a big lead instead of passing incompletes and interceptions; he learned from the Falcons not to do that.)
Tom Brady contributed substantially to winning the game. 31 points, no turnovers. He took a couple shots down field when they running and success prior time and in playoffs kept Chiefs back.
Now Brady joins Robert Horry w 7 titles, Now start putting down how Big Shot Bob didnāt win those games either!
Canāt help someone appreciate rather than spend time on try to diminish. Itās like explaining what the shape is in those pictures from the 90ās and then just yelling louder like that helps them see. Changed teams, no all pros on offense, put up 31 with no TO playing against a team that spent $30M more on players outside the QB. 7th time in 10 trips when second closest QB is 5. 4 other trips to title games. Team sport GOATs always get help, but they are GOATs since they work harder, and inspire confidence and effort in others beyond what they would normally achieve.
Who will win & who are your cheering for?
