I'm usually one of the optimists around here but I admit to being kind of bummed after that game.
Before the game I said I was rooting for the Eagles. It was partly because I hate the Chiefs but partly because the game was so pivotal for Mahomes and Reid. The win substantially elevates both of them. Mahomes now can see a path to one day surpassing Brady. Don't think for a second that isn't on his mind. At 27 he now has 2 SB wins and has been to 3. And Reid now has a path to potentially pass Bellichick, at least for total wins. He's 4 years younger than Bellichick. This may spur him to coach longer.
Mahomes has all the competitiveness of Brady with more talent. The Chiefs lost one of their best weapons this year losing Hill to the fins and still won it all. And you look at those 2 walk in TD's at the goal line, all the credit there goes to coaching.
Yes Brady and Bellichick should see that duo as a threat. Brady is done and Bellichick seems to be losing his fastball. Most coaches in the league if they made the kind of brain dead decisions BB made last year handing Mac Jones to Matt Patricia and Joe Judge would be fired. And in a league where offense rules, Bellichick is a defensive coach.
Like McDermott. Make no mistake that's a disadvantage in today's NFL. And it's an advantage for the Chiefs.
Don't get me wrong I'm not in the all is lost camp. Not even close. We have our own great QB. And the Bills are going to be in the mix as long as Josh stays healthy. But that Super Bowl just made things harder not easier. Which was the biggest reason I was wearing green sweats and a great shirt on Sunday.
