February 8, 20215 yr Final. What a game by the Bucs especially on defense. Who would have thought they would kept the Chiefs offense out of the endzone the entire game.
February 8, 20215 yr Brady is the GOAT and will be MVP. Deservedly so. But that was total team domination. I also liked the halftime show. The guy running on the field was great. Beavis and Butthead was my favorite commercial.
February 8, 20215 yr The GOAT just keeps eating. Brady still doesn’t look like he is even close to slowing down either.

February 8, 20215 yr I had it half right. Predicted Kansas City winning in a blow out in the predictions thread.
February 8, 20215 yr Tampa D abused the KC O-line all night, that pretty much sealed the deal. Brady played great and deserves all the accolades he receives. Chiefs defense shot themselves in the foot with penalties. I think at least 3 scoring drives maybe 4 by the Bucs came after they were stopped, but given new life through penalties.

February 8, 20215 yr Mahomes definitely didn't look good. Missing his two tackles probably didn't help him, but Tampa has a strong defense and played a good scheme. It was probably the worst game of Mahomes' career to this point. Certainly, in fact. This was the first game since 2017 that Kansas City didn't score a touchdown, and first since that same game that they didn't reach double digits. It was awful for them.

February 8, 20215 yr Is there anything worse than a bad Super Bowl? One thing Brady has always delivered on is a close championship game. This was like Rocky III. KC won the first bout, but the Bucs knocked them out early in the rematch. Typically Rocky comes down to the wire. I think I said it last week that this would be a tough rematch for the Chiefs. You don't lose both starting tackles and plug in a guard along the way and expect to hold up against a ferocious pass rush. Thing is, the Bucs really didn't blitz all that much. However, they brought pressure from all different angles, didn't let Hill get deep, and forced Mahomes to run in circles all night. He was pressured an astounding 29 times! That is super rare. 27 came against a pass rush of four or fewer defenders. I read some odd next gen stat that Mahomes ran a total of 497 yards scrambling before his attempts. That is the most of any QB this season. Brady was just steady Eddie all night, nothing spectacular (the Chiefs actually gained more yards in the end), and so for that he won his fifth Super Bowl MVP.... since awards are so slanted towards the QB. But someone on the defense deserved the award. To hold the Chiefs, as decimated as they were, to nine points is the more amazing feat.
February 8, 20215 yr 10 hours ago, TheDeuce said: Can’t wait to hear about how bad Mahomes played. I think Tampa's defense and the Chiefs OL injuries had something to do with that. For a 43 year old Brady's reaction time and decision making under pressure are remarkable.
February 8, 20215 yr I understand the logic but I hate that the cameras/NFL cut away from episodes like this:
