Go KC!

Amusing headline and story summary just read:

These days, how can you hate Tom Brady?

He dared pull off a feat that many middle-aged fans who feel underappreciated in their work only dream of doing: He flipped off the boss, took a new job in a sunny climate and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

My respect for Tom Brady is immense, I just want to see him lose

Hageneezz · 02-07-2021, 02:35 PM

But, I really think the Bucs are going to win tonight

pilight · 02-07-2021, 03:05 PM

I predict the Chiefs will win

CONN CHRIS · 02-07-2021, 03:44 PM

I love Mahomes but as an old guy I am rooting for Brady. It will be a first for me!

rudel.dietrich · 02-07-2021, 03:50 PM

I am 7 years younger than Brady, and I know how I feel getting out of bed some mornings when your neck and back and knees sound like a bag of eggshells.
I can't imagine having playing American football since middle school and still being in the top 5% of players at age 43.

I am cheering for him as well. But I would not begrudge Kansas City a victory. I just hope they give us a close and exciting game.

This is clever and pretty catchy.

Not really a fan of either team. As a Raiders fan I have justification to despise both. In reality, I respect both.

My feelings are 50/50 on the game.

I would really like to see Tom get #7.

I would really like to see the Chiefs win because I believe they have a shot at becoming the first 3peat team next year, which would be a first. I love seeing those kinds of firsts, even if a divisional rival does it.

Either way, please don't be a blowout game.

mytreds · 02-07-2021, 06:54 PM

I think the team with red colors will win.

mytreds · 02-07-2021, 09:56 PM

That Winfield taunt was great.

cephasjames · 02-07-2021, 10:12 PM

Well, this is not what I expected. I thought TB had a chance but, I thought they'd win by like 2 or 3.

mytreds · 02-07-2021, 10:37 PM

Same, I was thinking either KC blows TB out of the water or TB would win a nail biter. Jokes on me I guess.

Hrycaj · 02-07-2021, 10:48 PM

KC really missed their O-linemen that were out with COVID. You can’t handicap a team like that going up against a really good Tampa defense. That was the entire difference in the game to me. Tampa still may have won but it would have been a closer game. Also, this just in, Brady isn’t human. It is such a remarkable story. 7 wins in 10 appearances and he plans to come back. I think I am watching history that will never repeat itself.

mytreds · 02-07-2021, 11:41 PM

Yes the OL was backups, but the KC defenders who kept drawing flags were not.

Sdpm100 · 02-08-2021, 02:17 AM

At this point, the NFL may as well just hand over the Lombardi before the season to whichever team Brady's on (whether still as QB, or coach or owner or whatever position he decides to do when he eventually decides it is time to move on).

Bluenoser · 02-08-2021, 05:45 AM

Full credit to the Bucs "D" - how many people thought KC wouldn't score a single TD?

Sympathy to Mahomes who must have been as frustrated as heck. Seems to me that he ran more north/south than he did east/west.

Me. I thought that. You can't just install a new O-line for the Super Bowl. You have 2 out with Covid and then you have to move your RG who has played all year there to LG. Then they moved a tackle to center I believe and then expect them to gel against a fantastic defense. Mahomes didn't have a chance and it was clear to everyone watching the game. Of course NFL fans are the biggest protectors of "The Shield" and it can't be about Covid, let's make it about the KC DB's, or the officials, or Britt Reid or anything other than the fact that the league gutted the Chiefs much like they did other teams this year to fit their narrative of overcoming adversity. I'm not even a Chiefs fan and I'm angry for them.

Absolutely!
Game was a stinker but the Buc's D was the real MVP as Bucs would have won even if they had only scored 10. I did not see Tampa many times during the regular season, but that D impressed me when I did catch them. Other than that 1st quarter of the first time they played KC they really shut down the Chiefs.
