Ty's Thoughts on The Chief's, a Team from Missouri, Big Super Bowl Win
/
The Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl champs.
Oh, and by the way, they play in Kansas City, Missouri, for any idiots out there that may have tweeted a congratulations last night, and saying what a great example they are for the state of Kansas. What a giant, colossal moron. I mean, my 8 year old even knows they are in Missouri. What are we becoming as a country?
Anyway, I am here to break down the game today.
So, for the first three and a half quarters, this Super Bowl was almost as dull as last year. It was a sloppily played game, that featured nothing of excitement. This is exactly what the 49ers wanted as well. They were in total control of this game right after they tied it at 10. The Chiefs took an early lead, at 7-3, but the 49ers kind of took over after that. They were running the ball like they have all post season, Jimmy Garroppollo was making the easy throws, of which his receivers would turn into solid gains and their defense was suffocating the Chiefs offense. I was a little confused as to why the 49ers didn't try to, at the very least, get a field goal before halftime. They had all three of their timeouts, they were rolling and this was their chance to deliver a crucial blow to the Chiefs hopes. And even when they completed that big pass to George Kittle, it was nullified by his dumbass for pushing off. He one hundred percent interfered with the defender. I'm tired of hearing 49ers fans saying they were robbed by this one call. He offensive pass interfered, full stop. But even without using their timeouts, and trying to get a late first half score, they still came out and scored 10 points pretty easily, and seemed destined to win this game 20-10. They couldn't be stopped, their defense was clutch and Patrick Mahomes was having one of his worst games as a pro.
Then, with about 6 and a half minutes left, something switched. The Chiefs were faced with a third and 15, and I think we all kind of thought they were done. Then Mahomes whipped a 44 yard pass to a streaking receiver, and they scored four plays later, and this was a game. The Chiefs had that second chance they were looking for all game. They got the explosive play that they needed to propel themselves to the finish line. After that 44 yard throw, Mahomes was a different QB. Oh, and when the Chiefs scored to make it a three point game late in the fourth, the defense stepped the hell up. Also, the 49ers play calling, I'm looking at you "boy wonder" Kyle Shanahan, was wild. They tried to run, but KC was stacking the box, and actually, for once last night, stopping the run, thus forcing Garroppollo to beat them. And, he did not deliver. Jimmy Garroppollo is a fine game manager, but he is not the type of QB that can go out and win you a game. Sorry to break the news to you 49ers fans, but you know it's true. He didn't show any of that during the first two playoff games, and when he was needed most last night, he threw errant passes, some of which turned into picks. When the Chiefs got the ball back with about 3 and a half minutes left, I knew it was a wrap. Mahomes led them right down the field for the go ahead TD, and he made it look easy. This is what makes Mahomes great. He never got flustered during the first three quarters. He knew he was having a rough game, but he kept his head into it, never got too down on himself, and after he completed his long pass, he had that spark he needed to finish it off. He is the best QB in the league, hands down. I really like how quickly the Chiefs got the ball back very late, and let Damien Williams finish the game off for them as well.
The 49ers blew their chance at a Super Bowl, and who knows if they can get back. The NFC is very tough, and they play in a very good division. But, I'm happy for Andy Reid, and I think this could be the beginning of the Patrick Mahomes, and Chiefs, dynasty. They have the main guys coming back, they are young and they are the most explosive team in the NFL. They also exorcised any playoff demons Reid may have had, and the Chiefs franchise may have had. Also, the AFC is easier to get through.
I'm glad the Chiefs won, it was nice to see Mahomes get the MVP and I'm stoked for Andy Reid. Now I say to all my football fans out there, we better get used to seeing this team be a contender for a long, long time. Last night felt like the start of something big for the Chiefs.
