NFL GDT: 2018 AFC Championship Game: (1) Kansas City Chiefs vs (2) New England Patriots - Part 2

[solventless710]

What a contrast of fanbases.

The long suffering, long starving KC fanbase, THAT close to their first triumph in 50 years.... instead, we get Boston's umpteenth triumph this decade.

Business as usual. #dealwithit

Legendary win by the greatest coach and QB combo ever.

This is a D+ roster propped up by Brady/Belichick.

Hell, you could give them Gruden's Raider roster and they'd probably make the SB.

Two great OT games. This weekend delivered.

I disagree. I give this weekend an F

You missed the days of Irving Fryar. Took him with the #1 overall pick, was "ok" but never great. One time he "got injured"during a game and left at half time (probably more um.. impaired than injured). He snuck out and tried driving home, and crashed into a tree.

Things were really bad before RKK/Parcells/Bledsoe

Ahhh, the Dick McPherson days. That's when i first became a fan. I remember when Bledsoe was drafted, it was cool to be a Pats fan at my school even though they were still bad in his rookie season. But you could see the change coming.

Hes pretty devastated over the Patriots winning

This is actually the least “Brady-propped” team they’ve had since 2006. For the majority of this season Brady has basically been a low risk game manager like he was at the beginning of his career.

Sony Michel is easily the most talented back they’ve had since Corey Dillon. Offense is predicated on him and Brady’s chemistry with White and Edelman.

At midseason, he was on pace for identical stats to his last year (MVP) if you discounted a couple of deflected picks (one of which shouldn’t even have been ruled one, as Gronk took three steps before fumbling the ball).

In total this season, he hasn’t been as good as 2014-2017, but he’s also nowhere near Peyton Manning in 2015 game management levels. He can probably be effective at least another year, maybe two.

Also, when your game management (or ”system”) relies on elite D reading, pocket awareness and unprecedented aptitude at getting rid of the ball quickly and accurately, it still takes a pretty special football player.

Edelman is not flashy player but when the game is on the line I'd take him over any WR with the exception of Jerry Rice.

Edelman is a product of Brady IMHO. If he ever leaves.... look at what happened to Amendola.

Maybe, but Amendola had a corpse throwing him passes all year.

He was a decent player with the Rams before joining the Patriots, just couldn't stay healthy.

Also, his stats didn’t drop off too much.

I can't believe I'm defending Brady here. The last thing I wanted heading into the weekend was another Patriots SB appearance but here I am. Can't deny greatness

Greatness has a shelf life IMO. Of course, maybe his greatness has no expiration date. At this point, Brady may be immortal.

Is Michel REALLY this good or is he just a product of the system?

D+ rosters don't go this deep in playoffs.

He's so out of touch.

 

[Ivan13]

Romo calling out every play in OT was both impressive and annoying at the same time. Quit spoiling Tony!

Pats fans are so used to success and winning that losing is almost a shock to the system.

 

[c9777666]

The Chiefs are cursed.

The Patriots are blessed.

Is the NFL SO watered down that all these AFC teams with youth and talent can't beat a 41 year old QB?

 

[Duddy]

God, you're a sore loser.

Stop bothering people with your crap

My dude, it’s time to take your medicine on this.

Now it's become pathetic.

People still doubting Brady or no?

Amazing tho we had horrendous officiating in both title games.... and all 4 teams had some calls go their way.

Not so much doubting, moreso Brady fatigue
