What kind of flaming bundle of sticks Chiefs fan is picking the Bucs to beat the Chiefs in the SB again after what Veach just did with the OL?
You’re honestly the worst. |

I do think the Bucs have tools to slow us down, however. They're not going to smother Mahomes in a potential rematch, but they should be able to blanket our receivers again. It'll be interesting to see how our run game develops this year. I'm not sure we have the tools just yet to slow the Bucs down. Obviously it's just May, so our rematch is like 9 months away, but right now, how do we get to Brady? How do we match up against their receivers? Are we confident about our run defense? It's May. Everything's subject to change. This is just an intellectual exercise. |

They changed up their coverage entirely in the 2nd half and the Chiefs scored like two field goals. Their coverage in the Super Bowl was pretty similar. They had a great, creative scheme (Todd Bowles ran out a weird, Big 12-esque coverage for much of the game) along with some outstanding performances. Sean Murphy-Bunting is a quick-twitch slot corner who's still somehow 6'0", and he pitched a near-perfect game in coverage. The Bucs threw everything at Kelce, but they also sometimes just slapped Lavonte David on him and David played out of his mind. The OL probably cost us that game, but we all know the truth: the Bucs beat us in several ways, not just that one. I think the Chiefs have gained on the Bucs, and maybe have surpassed them. But right now, in May, I think it's easier for the Bucs to score us on than it is for us to score on them, which gives the GOAT the advantage. |

These penalties both served as momentum killers for us and boosters for them, and also led to an early hole for us and lead for them. Their early lead then led to us becoming even more one-dimensional (both due to poor play calling and necessity) as the game went on, which only served to exacerbate their strength and our weakness - their DLine vs our OLine. I really think that if that same game is played 10 times - not as a series but rather in different timelines in the same exact scenario - we win it 7/10 times. With standard officiating, their drives end when they are supposed to, the score stays close, Mahomes does his thing, we stay multi-dimensional, its a close finish. |

They "cheated" on the short/intermediate routes knowing the ball had to come out super-quick. They played two-high safety shell behind that. Game over. There's really nothing else to say. |
