I will not vote. I WILL watch and see who wins and how and why.

Edit: Eh, I have to vote to see the results of the poll? Not fair.

I wonder how more explosive the Chiefs offense would be if Kareem Hunt was still on their team.

Didn't want the fair weather fans to vote the popular line. I care what you think as individuals.

I think that's silly reasoning. However it's your poll. Frankly I don't much care. I read the posts. The game will be decided on the field, not here.

BTW. It closes the day before the SB so people don't vote during or after the game.

Flacco in his day was really impressive.
Yea, he was very good for a few seasons. I think he could still be a competent QB if he could stay away from injuries. I actually thought the Ravens made a mistake to trade him, but Jackson was phenomenal.

Edit: as to who wins the SB, I would pick the Chiefs. SF has a great defense and running game, but I dont think they can shut down the Chiefs, and Garappalo is unproven if they get into a shoot-out.

Eh, I don't think it'd matter that much. Not saying Hunt sucks (I think he's a quite good player), but I don't think it'd change things that much. Its not like they're exactly hurting for RB play as it is. And there's only so many people that you can target plays for.

I saw some eye opening stats on Jimmy today. I'm trying to find em so I can post them up.

The guy has a 154 QBR outside the pocket this year. The highest since ,.. ever

115 qbr when team is trailing #1 in NFL ( I'd have thought this would have been Wilson or Rodgers)

60% Completion on passes 15+ downfield. #1 in NFL

84 QBR in 4th quarter when game is within 1 possession. #1 in NFL

yeah, but what is the sample size for those last 3 stats this season, ~15 total minutes and 25 pass attempts +15 yards? lol

Man, thought KC was cooked till this
The comeback hinged on that play, Mahomes’s 44-yard heave to wide receiver Tyreek Hill, a combination of tactical brilliance and the kind of throw both little boys and fellow NFL quarterbacks can only dream of making.

Damn, that was awesome! Totally changed the game dynamics. Great game :)

Well, it ended up being a great game. SF was in charge pretty much up until those last ~5 minutes--probably the longest anyone has managed to contain Majomes, so I'm glad to see that they stuck to their gameplan throughout as it was working so effectively.

I think Jimmy G saw himself under so much pressure because they went into that play-to-win mindset, which is great, but I think they should have kept the ball in the backfield as they had been doing. For them, that's not playing not-to-loss--that's their game. Anyway, still more on SF D and Majomes taking over at the end.

Very few punts in the game, and both teams were playing as well as they've played all year...though Majomes wasn't all that sharp until the very end.

Should have been played on a larger field.

An NFL field is 100 by 53 1/3 yards with a midfield line at 50 yards. A CFL field is 110 by 65 yards with the midfield line at 55 yards. The end zones are different lengths as well. The CFL has an end zone that is 20 yards deep.
