Mahomes has a great future ahead of him. If KC improves its defense and if he stays healthy he will win a SB in the future.
Andy Reid fails again in the playoffs

The Saints plain and simple should be the ones in the Super Bowl. Rams are a good team, but they won due to absolutely terrible officiating.
Agree also that the NFL OT rule does not even give the other team a chance makes it so the coin flip becomes more a factor than the actual playing.

The SB will be won by LA , the NFL wants to nurture the LA fan market . There will be tons of feel good stories on the Cali. fires and how much the Rams mean to the area . During the season I watched twice as a Browns fan as two games were so poorly officiated that we lost games and the NFL apologized . I say if players can be suspended so should officials …….No accountability.
Heck Roger Goodell makes 44m a year make him accountable

The NFL even called the Saints' coach, Sean Payton, to apologize and told him "we messed up", that officials made a mistake. But this isn't the first time. Even high school football has better officiating than this. The Saints are a Big Deal here in New Orleans, so the entire city is just reeling. For example Harry Connick Jr. announced that he is not only boycotting the Superbowl, but also never attending another NFC game unless changes are made.
I don't even watch football at all, and here I am posting about it! That's how much it affected the city.

The Los Angeles Times awarded the game ball to the NFL officials.

I saw a LA. eye doctor offering free eye exams to any NFL officials.
The officials in both games stunk, the Saints were impacted the most. That non-call should have been called any number of penalties.

That was a great game to watch. I thought the Pats' 1st half game plan against a high powered offense like the Chiefs, establishing the run game was beautiful.
Mahomes is the real deal. Even after Brady did his thing leaving about 38 seconds left, I knew the game was not over at that time. I was surprised the Chiefs didn't try one more shot at the end zone before going for OT. Would have been risky, but "Ya don't want to lose the coin toss!!"

AFAIK, the Pats were the underdogs. Chiefs were favored by 3.
IMO, defence is the other half of the game. Coin toss or no, the Chief defence rolled over with 3, 3 and 10s.
[Full disclosure: our nephew works for the Pats]
Agree that Mahomes is awesome with a great future ahead of him

I was texting with a friend during the game and mentioned the Andy Reid curse. She had no idea what I was talking about.

I'm glad you mentioned that, I also was surprised that they didn't take another shot at the end zone with 8 seconds left or whatever it was.
Mahomes has been very impressive each time I have seen him play... his ability to improvise should serve him well.

The Pats are never really the underdogs.

Why risk an interception when you can force OT? Sure, Reid's a hero if they score, but imagine if it's picked off? I'd take the OT anytime in a game of that magnitude, at home yet.

Another risk I think if they try one more play and someone gets hurt w/o any time outs. Then isn't that a 10 second run off and game over? But I was still a bit surprised they didn't take the gamble.

It took a wee bit more than a coin flip to win that game.

I suspect that the officials can probably afford their own eye exams after that missed call.

We had Andy Reid in Philly for many years. The one consistent fault was time management to include poorly burned timeouts. It did not surprise me that he had none left at the end of regulation when he needed it most.
Still, the killer to me was the guy that lined up off-sides on the interception play. That would have iced it.

You have to pull out all the stops against the Pats. You never know what they are going to throw at you, like deflated footballs, tapes of your practices, etc.

The ball changed direction after hitting Edelman's arm. It should have been an interception. Balls do not change direction unless something causes them to change direction

Both quarterbacks are from here and I'm not rooting for either team. Just for a game where the outcome is determined by the player's abilities and not the refs calls
