Yeah who would have thought all you needed was Mahomes to re hurt his ankle…

Game on!

Grandstand finish coming up 

[Macca 16,174]

Chiefs have got this if they're smart

[Macca 16,174]

Unless they miss the field goal ... 11 seconds to get 3 points for the Eagles if KC get the field goal

[Macca 16,174]

8 seconds ... can't see the Eagles performing a miracle (but you never know)

[Macca 16,174]

Chiefs win ... Andy Reid gets another SB

Mahomes = Stellar!

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Cracking game, both teams on offence were great. 7 months til kick off! 

[Macca 16,174]

Looks like 'Go the Biff' & Clintosaurus have both won the tipping comp.  Gold!!

'layzie' has rattled home to claim the Silver medal whilst JV7,  DeeSpencer & Dee Zephyr all get the bronze

More later

[Gorgoroth 12,447]

Thanks for running everything as always Macca! Always appreciate all your effort. 
 

Well done to the winners

Eagles the best team but chiefs have the best QB. Very close one to call. Reckon a late field goal could decide it. 

I wish I was a betting man.

Great game. Mahomes is a rare talent.

If you were a betting man then the result would be different ... that's how betting works, BDA!  haha

Mahomes was magnificent, dodgy ankle and all.  He was in genuine pain but kept marching his team down the field.  Brady-like

[layzie 30,412]

Commisserations Dappa. Tough way to lose but what a classic.

That guy is special

There's talk that Mahomes might eventually rival Brady as the best of all time

But first he needs to catch Joe Montana who, up until 5 or 6 years ago, was regarded as the best

But as great as Montana was, Brady has to be regarded as the best ever, especially with 7 x SB rings.  In a 32 team league, 7 SB wins is extraordinary!!  Played under great coaching of course (and with great teams)

KC should get at least 1 or 2 more titles you'd imagine as Andy Reid always seems to get his team into contention.  And Mahomes is only 27 years old so another 8-10 years at his optimum?

For me Brady isn’t even top 3, prob not even 5 QB’s if you go by talent in the position, he just won the most. 
 

No one ever talks about how good the defence he had on the pats team was. They are always left behind. 
Then add in The coach etc

oh and the cheating.

But he is to this day one of the best 5-8 hrs across the middle passers I’ve seen. And he had a mental toughness that will be hard to beat and a desire to win like no other.

As a QB, he knew his limitations, and excelled at what he was good at. 
Put Montana and Rice in the modern pass happy, protected game it is no and he would be next level on the greatness he was.

Brady's greatest strength was his management of games.  No one else comes close and that is a rare talent

It's like he was another coach actually playing.  Steven May x 5 or 10 in my view

I'd agree with you on the rest but all things have to be taken into account including the biggie ... game management.  And he did it all well into his 40's.  The whole cheating aspect was over exaggerated too.  Mostly borne out of jealousy & envy

Brady is the G.O.A.T,  Gorg.  In my humble opinion!

If you have an opinion why be humble about it 🤣

I’m blatantly biased. AD99 is the best for me, like Brady, he was too short, arm reach and hand size too small, proved them wrong to the point that he has done things on defence that interior linesman shouldn’t ever be able to do.

Not to mention in a salary cap era too Macca. Brady is lapping everyone at this point. 

Once you get into that rare mix of great coach and great QB, the special stuff happens!

Well, you've got a point.  So I said it, so it must be true!! haha  ... forget the humility! 

But if we're talking all time best, any position,  then the debate could go on for quite some time.  And Aaron Donald would certainly be in the conversation as his influence and great playing ability is immense

How about Jerry Rice and his numbers?  1549 catches, 22,895 yards & 197 TD's (thanks google) ... and 10 first-team All-Pro lists

Surprisingly, Brady only has 3 first-team All-Pro lists

Aaron Donald has 6 first-team All-Pro lists

Rice and Montana for me were next level. I watched them toy with the Rams for years and when it seemed over they replace him with Young who lost to the Rams like once.
