Championship Game Thread - who do you like going forward?

Unbelievable adjustment by Andy Reid. If we can learn something, we actually should learn from how Reid adjust the game, after it looked like NE has this game won from the gameplan and looked to be a blow out early. Reid and Peyton are the best football minds X&O, right behind Belichick and McVay. Will be an unbelievable chess match between the 2 grandmasters. We'll probably see some crazy, strange things, formations, tactics from both teams, that have never seen before. NE still is a 9 lives lucky roach that can never die. This game is like the ATL game all over again. When NE won the coin toss in OT you know they're going to win. The defense had nothing left.

And this is why, as much as I like Lynn, you have to wonder if he has the Xs and Os kind of mentality to out do the elite coaches in the game. This is why he probably needs elite coordinators to really take the next step. I don't think Bradley and Whiz are that, at all.

Telesco has some work to do if we're going to salvage these last 2 years of Rivers' career. Right now I think we are a good couple notches below the Pats and Chiefs, easily.

Let's go.

The Chiefs blow yet another playoff game. Wow.

The GOAT QB and head coach do it again.

[Bolt-O]

Gronk had his best game of the season, and with no pressure on Brady, the Chiefs secondary got carved up. Great comeback by the Chiefs, but they were still in striking distance going into the second half. If Desmond King didn't muff that punt, the Chargers might have been in the same situation of just being 14 down at the half.

As far as coaching goes, I think Lynn will only be happy if he can run the ball all day. The only significant change to the offense this season was the inclusion of jet sweeps, but if Rivers has time, he could carve up D's as well. Whiz has to come up with new stuff, he can't do RPO with PR, but he has to do what the Pats do... kill with small stuff.

Bradley's D will be better next season with a full complement of LBs, but they do have to address the aging interior line.

We just whiffed and missed McVay when he's available. Props to the Rams GM for noticing his talents. It wasn't like he's the hottest OC or anything, he was just a QB coach. His "fake-hurry-up" offense against DAL was masterful, forcing them to show their defense first. He's still lack experience. The raw side of him showed today in NO. They clearly wasn't ready for that level of noise in NO stadium, had trouble communication early until the crowds calm down. No backup plans when the communication system inside Goff's helmet had problems.

Tony Romo calling the game today.

[ghost]

As long as they have Belicheck and/or Brady, nobody will beat them.

That is an immutable fact.

[Boltx]

Tony Romo calling the game today.

He's been really good all year. I wonder if coaching is in his future, if he even has the desire.

[richpjr]

The Saints got their hearts ripped out 2 years in a row in the playoffs. Last year that remarkable catch and TD by Diggs and this year by the non-call that would have ended the game.

Ouch. At least they have a ring to fall back on. We have...

[vinabolt]

If you still don't know if karma is real or not, look at the Saints. Deep down inside, every Saints fans, coaches and players know how they got those rings. It just bring back shameful, disgust, and most criminal act in NFL history. The heaviest penalty in NFL history for Payton and Gregg Williams still can never enough. They basically commit a criminal-like offense (trying to hurt, injured other human being) and got away with it. Disgusting. They got what they deserve. It's satisfying that they got fucked and lose the game. Still, they still choked away a 3 pts lead, no excuse. Chokers are chokers.

[vinabolt]

There was a FOX radio clown (can't recall this clown's name) creaming, crying about how he and his cousin loss the bet because of the refs and could file lawsuit that the NFL caused him to loss his money, lol. Dude demands that the NFL should forfeit Rams' win and has 2 teams replay the game from the moment that moron Mobey-Coleman hit Michael Thomas, lol.

A choke is a choke. It wasn't even a scoring play. That play didn't decide the game. Goff and co. still had to drive the length of the field to score and win. By that clown's logic, every teams that played NO during their Bountygate SB run should demand a forfeit and retry, too.

Had to change the channel. Never heard that level of unprofessional and bs radio host ever. FOX should do something with this sadness of a guy. Dude makes the whole radio show looks stupid. Dude basically gave his sadist takes and crying, yelling on radio because he lost his bet, lmao. Anyone knows this guy on Twitter or something feel free to use my comment to slap in his face.

What adjustment? You mean getting beyond the scripted plays that were planned in advance?

Is it not obvious that the Patriots knew the plays in advance? And once they got beyond the script, what happened? The Chiefs started scoring. Shocker. These guys are rampant cheaters. They will do anything to win. Does everyone really think that a defense that ranked 30th in sacks magically got better and sacked a mobile QB like Mahomes 4 times? That they almost shut out the highest scoring offense in the first half - with that defense? Their defense sucks.

You guys are better than this to not see the obvious. They knew the plays that were going to be called. Once beyond the script, the Chiefs started scoring. A tiger never changes his stripes.

[vinabolt]

This make no sense. If they can magically knows what other teams going to call then they'd have won the SB everytime with #1 seed, at home. No need to go through all this. Teams shut teams down in the 1st half with a great plan and great filmworks. Teams made great adjustment and come back in the 2nd half, what a shocker that has never seen before, lol.

Belichick made a great plan today with the 2-linemen look similar to his old NYG days. Individual talents mean little in playoffs. Regular season stats mean squat in playoffs. Regular season fame usually don't translate to playoffs. We have seen this over and over in every sports. Hope you didn't loss your bet on this game too like the FOX radio idiot host who lost his bet on LAR NO game and come back with ridiculous take.
