and let me be clear... it WAS a bad call. KC was in control. Had been the entire 2nd half. I don't think the 'bad call' made any difference in the outcome. BUT...
We'll never know.. and that's really the point. And I admit that.
Surely some of you felt the same as I did and that nearly from the opening kickoff.. KC was going to win that game. I picked the Eagles, btw. But early on I saw.... wellll, "felt', that the Eagles, tough as they were.... just didn't have that 'it' factor it takes to win most SB's.
As a non-fan of either team what interested me most was the QB comparison... Hurts threw some astounding completions that game, a LOT due to his receivers but also... he put the ball in the right place where his receivers COULD make some great receptions. As the loser that will probably be little noted... but I believe he threw more truly great passes than Mahomes did. And no, I'm not saying he outplayed Mahomes. Passing is not the only way to judge QB play.
And lastly I just want to say.... neither of those teams today could have beat our '21 Rams SB Champs. - JamesJM
Well said, Jimmy. Wasn't really a QB duel, but they both hung in there and made plays, with both QBs playing injured. The fact Hurts couldn't even get his Hail Mary to the 20 yard line told me how bad he was doing. The guy was finished.
Neither of these teams held a candle to us or the Bengals of last Super Bowl. No AD to close out the game for the Eagles when they needed it. That great D just vanished in a cloud of smoke. But, they trashed the 9ers and fulfilled their purpose for me. Mission accomplished, and on to the postseason.
