Even with the Eagles' front 4 getting mad pressure without even bothering to blitz, hence all the sacks, Mahomes kept throwing passes behind/over his targets and chucked several passes into the dirt in the first half.
Him playing terrible and the Eagles outplaying his team can both be true.
It's lazy as hell to praise the QB for every win/lay the blame at the QB for every loss. The Chiefs were outplayed in nearly every aspect; I think run defense is possibly the only thing I'd say they did well. Otherwise they got cooked. Mahomes throwing that dime of a touchdown in garbage time only counted for people's bets on the final score. Philly putting in backups and gatorading the coach with more than 3 minutes left was seriously disrespectful in the best way possible.
I dislike the MVP because it feels like it goes to the winning QB by default even when it was a defensive masterclass because you probably can't pick out one singular guy as the most important. But Philly's front 4 should have all gotten a quarter of the MVP (and maybe cut a few more chunks out for Sweat and their secondary). I did vote for Cooper DeJean as the MVP because I'm riding with the exciting whites.
All I saw was a massacre on live television. Sucks to be a Chiefs fan, but it feels good for the rest of us.
I remember when the Eagles dismantled the Patriots too. I forgot what Super Bowl that was, but I do know that Nick Foles called that trick play in the redzone.
No love lost for Chiefs fans. I watched way too many games just get handed to them this season alone. Nobody wins that many comebacks/one score games in a row without a finger on the scale. They deserve far worse for all their "luck".
John Rocker almost beat the shit out of Pat Mahomes Sr. after the SB. Rocker later said on Twitter that Mahomes was a loser that couldn't take a joke.

Barely notable sports figures boxing is more natural than the forced e-celeb boxing meme, but it's still incredibly gay.
Completely unrelated, but my insane copeium/hopium is at least the Packers did better against Philly than the Chiefs did both in the slippery Brazil bowl and the playoffs. Keisean Nixon and Josh Jacobs are actively trying to lure Max Crosby and Devante Adams to Green Bay, so next year is totally going to be the Packers year, guys!
Beyond that there's all sorts of interesting vet QBs who are free agents- Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson, Kirk Cousins, I think Justin Fields (?), Sam Darnold all competing with what I'm told is a very meh potential QB draft pool for a limited number of spots. Bros I'm so fucking excited for football again and the coaching drama has barely settled! I've said before that I like picking an AFC team to stan for every season, and I think I'm going to be a Pete Carroll Raiders guy as my secondary team, I have no illusions about them being contenders, but they can be better through the use of chewing gum and old spry white guy coach energy. I will also lock in my hater prediction of the Lions being way worse because Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn both left & I believe that every fake Detroit fan will be gone after even a rocky season start & I do believe some teams are truly cursed.
Feel free to reply with your copes/hopes for your footbally franchise.
