I get it's the Onion, but he would likely have been fine in Chicago with that defense.

Is it me or doe Mahomes constantly seem to look for the cameras?

Its just you. He is a good dude and GO CHIEFS!

If a team drafts/signs/retains people that commit acts of violence towards women and children, they deserve to be called on it. It’s an indisputable fact that the Chiefs won this super bowl with contributions from proven women beaters. Sorry.

31-20 Baby! Super Bowl Champs.

Yup. Happy for Andy and Mahomes and Dustin and the Chiefs fans. Shame guys like Tyreek and Frank are getting rings too, hope they don’t wear them around their girlfriends

I'm glad I'm not a Niners fan, I would be irate right now.

daves predictions have hit rock bottom

or the running back - he was money throughout the game

Damien Williams definitely should have been MVP

 

[NashVol11]

Yep I’m sure it stings with no guarantee they are coming back next year because of NFL parity.

Yep, Niners will be something like 9-7 next year. This was their best shot

 

[NashVol11]

I don’t think I’ve ever lived to see this forum enjoy a super bowl performance

No one here will unless it's AC/DC or some Springsteen garbage

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I think the Rams go 11-5 and win the NFC West in 2020 while the 49'ers finish 2nd with an 11-5 record and go to the NFC Playoffs as a Wildcard.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We’ll be back next year, and we’ll do it once again without having to rely on convicted wife beaters and child abusers. Bang bang niner gang

You better not let Shanahan call the plays in the 4th quarter then.

I don't think they have a single contract that expires this offseason, but they will have to move a few guys around. I figure they got lots of guys with escalating salaries. Jimmy G's cap hit alone goes up $6.6M.

 

[n_huffhines]

Actually, it looks like the 49ers will be fine with contracts

Bosa's cap hit goes up $1.5m
Jimmy G = $6.6m
Dee Ford = $1.5m
Thomas goes up $1m
McKinnon goes up $3m (they'll just cut him and save $1.5m)

Alexander goes down $7m (and then up $12m) so that helps big time
Richburg goes down $2m
Staley goes down $3m

Mahomes is the rightful MVP. He was under incredible pressure and had a pretty good game, all things considered. By the time he completed the comeback and took the lead, Williams only had 91 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Williams essentially had 32 garbage time yards and 1 TD. All they needed was a first down and the game was over. In fact, the smart play is to give yourself up.

I was ok with most of his fourth quarter decisions, the execution just wasn’t there from Jimmy and the interior offensive line (Chris Jones would honestly be my vote for MVP). When I was most mad at Kyle was when he declined a penalty in the first half that would’ve made it I think 2nd and 16 in favor of like 3rd and 2. And then the Chiefs converted. Weird decision

You just don’t typically get a top-2 defense in consecutive years, even with the same players. More likely they’ll slide to #8 or so like Jacksonville and Chicago before them, and without an elite QB that’s a wild-card recipe

I still feel like the 49ers offense is getting shortchanged here. Jimmy had a bad fourth quarter, but this offense scored the second most points in the regular season of any team. It’s not the same offense the jaguars or bears had, and Jimmy, while not Mahomes, isn’t Bortles or Trubusky either. And neither of those teams got a 1 seed or made a super bowl

He never would have won because of his past and the other was an OL but Tyreek Hill and Mitchell Schwartz were the best players for the Chiefs

Maybe but Chicago lost key personnel, like Amos.
