KC simply couldn’t keep flipping a coin and have it come up heads indefinitely; they simply were a fairly mediocre team which was insanely lucky. As soon as they played a truly good team they were bound to lose, and lose big. I am sure Hurts will win the MVP, but the performance of the Eagles’ front four was equal to that of Dallas’ Doomsday in XII against the Broncos and Craig Morton. [I still think Too Tall Jones should have shared it with his linemates Randy White and Harvey Martin] ---

Yeah who made some truly abysmal playcalls in the 4th quarter. ---

Another field goal for phila. The Stella Artois commercial with Beckham was good. ---

> [@Zoobi](#): > > they might be wise to blow it up now and rebuild. Blow what up? Other than Mahomes’ giant contract, where do you see bloat in their [2025 payroll](https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/cap/_/year/2025)? The rest of their top 5 salaries are some of the best players in the league at their positions, and the rest of the roster were all salary-appropriate players that took a team to 15-2 and the Super Bowl. ---

Why is Beckham even recognizable? I thought he was like Tony Hawk or Wayne Gretzsy, outside of the context of their sport they’re like Paul McCartney who says he sometimes rides the NYC subway. ---

You can’t pay a kicker that much. You can’t pay non productive WRs that much. I think the Jones contract is a mistake in the long run. They paying Felix Anudike Uzami who rarely even plays ridiculous money. ---

I’m sorry, but this take is ridiculously stupid. The Chiefs went fucking 15-2, and made the goddamn Super Bowl because of luck? Jesus, they had a horrible game, but let’s please try to keep some semblance of reality. ---

They won like 14 games by one score or less-that absolutely cannot BE disputed. They wouldn’t be the first lucky team to make it here and get destroyed. Stupid, huh? 😡 Reality just came up and utterly destroyed them. ---

He’s recognizable because he is super famous. I don’t watch skateboarding or hockey but I would recognize Tony Hawk and Wayne Gretzky if I saw them in a commercial. ---
