I just want to say, and not to get way ahead of ourselves but I really feel this way when you look at it... but if the Chiefs take care of business in a couple weeks, I think we are looking at the team with the best chance of all time to three-peat.
We just aren’t really losing that much this offseason probably. The guys who are set to be FAs are mostly the kind of veteran role players who I expect to come back. It’ll simply be a matter of staying relatively healthy IMHO.
OK, back to talking about this game cause obviously gotta beat Tampa first.

Mentioned this idea around mid-season, iirc. IMO, this team has the best chance to three-peat of any team I've ever seen in 40 years, since the 1989-90 SF 49ers went back-to-back. That team should've three-peated. Which goes to show you just how hard it is to do. Repeating is extremely hard to do. But since 1990, this is the only team I've ever seen that I think could actually make it happen.
But this game, for the repeat, is going to be maybe the toughest challenge of Andy's career, with both Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz probably out for the game. We now are playing in the Super Bowl vs. maybe the 3rd best pass rush in the NFL in 2020, with an OL with exactly one starter from week 1, C Reiter. If he has any tricks for protecting Patrick behind this OL that nets him another Ring, he should get Coach of the year. Because pretty much everything hinges of whoever Andy puts in at LT and RT, and how they stand up to the pressure of stopping both Shaq Barrett and JPP. With Vea probably collapsing and just running over Reiter down the middle.
I mean, someone find out: is this the worst discrepancy of talent between an OL and a DL that ever met in a Super Bowl? It sure feels like it.
But I have faith in Andy Reid.
If there's one thing about Reid, he has an uncanny ability to find ways to get journeyman linemen to play great in big games. No, the Chiefs OL won't flat beat TB's DL for the whole game, but they will, after being sprinkled with Andy's genius, find ways to slow them down just enough for Patrick to make plays.
Last year, we watched Andy pull out a hatful of special plays to win SB LIV. This year, I think we're going to see a whole bucketful, because that's what it will probably take in 2021.
