I went to bed at half time

Can't really believe that scoreline

 

[ToffeeTim]

Also I'm still not sure if Purdy is good, or if he is a bit lucky, or if it's both

Crazy piece of luck on that catch of the safety's helmet. He just threw it up for grabs and somehow it turned into first and goal lol

Now that we have left the embarrassment of the Baltimore Running Back attempting and failing to play QB behind us, we can move on to the more pressing matter of the Super Bowl itself.

I will do some research on how the two teams matchup in detail but my first thoughts are that the Niners D in particular is pretty fraudulent

What an embarassment it will be for the league when Lamar gets named NFL MVP.

I think it's both. He's defo better than most 24 year olds in their second year and comes in for some very undue criticism. But that helmet bounce catch was wild, it's the kind of thing that can kick off a legend

Initial thoughts are we should be clear favourites for this. This Niners team look nowhere near the formidable unit of 2019. The QB play is on the same level from Jimmy G/Purdy. The present D is clearly worse than 2019.

I would rate this Niners team overall as considerably worse than both Buffalo and Baltimore. They have been outplayed at home 2 straight weeks.

The line has shifted to -1.5 and I would expect the Chiefs to be favourite before kick off.

I was surprised to see the initial line as well, though I’m sure the public money will come flowing in for the Chiefs.

I think its because the oddsmakers are guided by regular season performances, in particular wins and losses, and certain data points. Relying on specific statisical models to generate odds will lead you to weigh heavily on such data as the Niners being able to score 30 in 9 of their regular season games.

But we have heard all this before with Baltimore this week. Running up the score against weak opponents isnt neccessarily a good guide to anything at all when faced with Mahomes, Kelce and Reid.

The best advice I can give the Niners is expect to dealt with coldly, clinically and efficiently. The same ridiculous errors that cost the Packers and the Lions the last 2 weeks will simply not be forthcoming against the Chiefs.

I dont even think the Niners should be in the Super Bowl.

Interesting the niners are 2.5 favourites for the Super Bowl.

Our d beat Allen and Lamar on the road but we can’t handle Jimmy G/Purdy? WTF?

It’s pretty obvious why, obviously you can’t count KC out because they’ve got the best QB/coaches but the rest of the team isn’t as good.

Your wonderlic 13 qb and offensive co ordinator threw it away let’s get it right.

The throw into triple coverage was demonstration that the man simply cannot read a quality d.

He put in his usual playoff performance to add to his growing catalogue of terrible playoff performances

The fumble was a billion times worse than the pick. Coaching was awful you’re right. I also don’t know how much I can blame him because they lost so many blitz pickups 1v1. Lamar was fine yesterday imo, I would’ve liked him to be better but he didn’t have a disaster.

I mean the data points from yesterday aren’t good for the Chiefs as far as it goes for what they build models on

You’re actually right here

No you’re right which is why these models are kind of useless when it comes to a team like KC
