Should have, could have, you need to smash the Chiefs to beat them, in the way the Eagles did and Tampa a few years back.

The Chiefs regression is going to be wonderful
Anyone fascinated by the so called GOAT debate may as well be studying the Loch Ness monster, its a stupid concept with no correct answer.

Won’t happen. They’ll be in the title game next year again.

At this point that’s correct
I think so. They're winners, they'll take the lesson and it will make them better.

Meant more the regular season, the teams I’m most confident will win less games are the Chiefs and Commies

Well 15-2 yeah I assume they will win less next season
Yup. Really odd strategy to adopt when your OL is banged up and you face an elite pass rush.
Normally you're quite boring, and dwell on ignore. But right now? You are very, very entertaining. Watching you lose you composure like this, making outlandishly silly statements (that are easily disproved at a moment's notice) due to lacking the maturity to take the inevitable emotional blow that comes from your obsessive adoration of one man to the extent that you completely ignore the realities of a 53-man game? I'll be enjoying this for quite some time.
In fairness to you, you are right about one thing: any fan of any other team would be very pleased indeed to have won three of the last five superbowls. It's an excellent achievement. The Chiefs teams in each of those three seasons were well-assembled, well-coached and outplayed pretty much everyone.
This year though? No. And that's the beauty of it. Because it exposes the flaw in your "Mahomes is God" narrative, and clearly demonstrates that roster imbalances, injuries and coaching choices all have FAR bigger impacts than any one player can on the outcome of a game, a season or a Superbowl. Mahomes couldn't overcome his OL collapsing. He couldn't overcome Andy Reid's failure to adjust the playcalling to take the pressure off the OL. If he's the best player ever, why didn't he audible into running plays in the first quarter? After the first couple of drives it was clear the Eagles' pass rush was too good for the Chiefs' OL, but neither Reid nor Mahomes adjusted.
Brady would have.
Belichick would have.
So would Montana and Walsh, and a bunch of other QB / Coach combinations we all know of.
Does any of this diminish Mahomes' previous achievements? Absolutely not. Because the Eagles have a great roster and Sirianni massively outcoached Reid this time, and that's NOT on Mahomes. Because WINS AREN'T A QB STAT. Wins are achieved by teams. And other parts of the Chiefs team failed badly on Sunday, leaving Mahomes too exposed. Like every player Mahomes has flaws, and when those flaws are exposed it's hard to combat that. Very few players can rise above that, and we saw on Sunday Mahomes isn't one of those very few. That was one of the worst first halfs of QB play we've ever seen in a Superbowl, but that doesn't mean Mahomes is a bum. It just proves he's not the Messiah you pretend he is.
Finally: I'll wait for you to answer the following:
No, the Chiefs OL on Sunday was nowhere near the worst we've ever seen in a Superbowl. It wasn't even the worst in the last five years.
And no, the AFC West has not been the strongest NFL division over the last ten years.
Cry more, Kev. Keep lashing out. Or learn - it's your choice.

The same Brady who, with the greatest offense ever got done in by the Giants and Spags not once but twice?
The same Montana who went through the mid eighties getting knocked out of playoffs 3 years in a row with 0 td’s and 4 picks?
Yes, both were capable of faltering like that, and did so multiple times.
That's it?
That's your whole reply?
You're proving my point. Even the very best individual players lose sometimes, because it's a team sport. But some individuals crumble in that situation too, and others (Brady, for instance) don't.
PS Where's your analysis of how Trey Hopkins, Hakeem Adeniji, Isaiah Prince or Quinton Spain would have started on your line ahead of Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney or Jawaan Taylor? Or did you put that part of the conversation on ignore??
Cry more, lash out more, look stupid more. Love you Kev, loving your meltdown

You said Brady would have unequivocally 'found a way to adjust' - I am telling you - not neccessarily. Dont try and change the parameters of your statement to 'even the best lose sometimes'.That's it?

As for the OL, even if it were true that that Bungles OL was worse, the Chiefs OL played appalingly against the Eagles - the worst I have seen an OL play in a Super Bowl - and Mahomes didnt do anything to mitigate it with his happy feet.
It's noticeable that you have for some reason chosen to re-engage with me for the first time in 3 years, strangely the last time we lost a meaningful game.
