Chiefs are killing them selves. Terrible punts, not offence, dropping easy catches and their D is continually giving up terrible penalties.

14-3 with 6 mins left in. Second. Gotta score a tad before the half and not allow one for TB. 

TB D has been solid, running game is going great and allowing Brady time to throw as accurate as I’ve seen.

I would rather be in front than behind at halftime. I say catch me if you can.  Brady the greatest QB  of all time and that will be put to bed for all to know,.

Patrick Mahomes poor first half  compared to a great first half by a 43 yo Brady. 

The KCC will have to find something special to get up in a super bowl game, being 15 points behind.

This game is done. I’m calling it. 
chiefs are all over the shop from the coach to the defence.

Game over!

I still give them a slight shot, Andy Reid half time adjustment specialist. But massive edge to the Bucs. Brady picking apart their front 7.

I would but the D is being slaughtered. Andy is calling poorly, their punter is so bad they should sit him.

They have to score a TD this opening drive and 3 and out the Buccs to get the momentum

Yeah changed my mind 5 mins in. Too much shooting themself in the foot.'kicked themselves out of it. Arians and Leftwich have coached well.

Haven't decided if it was a great game for the general public but for those of us that appreciate championship defense it was brilliant. TB12 undoubtedly the GOAT now, he's squashed the silly 'he's Belichick's puppy' argument now. 

Mahomes and Reid had a very off night as Gorg correctly called it early. I thought we'd see a bit more open offense plays called in the second half but too many dropped balls and more stupid penalties cost them. Mahomes is special no doubt and he and the Cheifs will be back no doubt. Personally I was glad the torch wasn't passed just yet.

And we have a winner in the post season tipping comp!

@Go the Biff picks up his 2nd post season award after overtaking @Dee Zephyr after today's result.  Getting over the line by correctly picking the Tampa SB victory

Well done GtB and fully deserved too.  You stuck with Brady right throughout the playoffs and it paid off

Well done to DZ as well in finishing 2nd - DZ was the first to post up his tip for the SB (which gave the rest of us a chance!)  Nobility is alive & well

And thanks to all for your participation.  The post season comp has worked better with the bonus points on offer (in my view) but I also believe the regular season comp should stay as it is.  Let the tradition continue

n.b. Hall of Fame stats to follow directly

 

Anyway, here's your prize GtB!

Thanks @Macca. Joe Montana got me into this game but Brady is the GOAT. I had a feeling he'd be looking for Gronk & Brown today. Fournette & Jones were great too - all the senior citizens had a day out. Thought Shaq Barrett should have been MVP though.

What I wasn't expecting was that weak effort from KC. Where the hell was that 12 months ago when I really wanted it ???

Thanks again for running the comps. It really does broaden your interest in the NFL instead of just following your own team.

Bring on next season. Can we get Aaron Rogers to the 49ers somehow ?

This times 1000. Barrett and to a slightly lesser extent Jason Pierre-Paul had as much influence on the result with their pressure on Mahomes. Mahomes is great fun to watch though.

It was a much better game than the margin suggested. Chiefs played as dumb as the Raiders often do.

Strange year for Fournette. Got cut by the worst team in the league and ends up with a ring. As does Blaine Gabbert.

Shaq def. I did have $5 on JPP @$91 for mvp so that would have been ok too ?

He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.
