The Chiefs are beating themselves now with bonehead penalties on defense.

They keep giving extra first downs for Brady to throw TDs.

Brady and Gronkowski have the most TDs as a duo in Super Bowl history after Gronk’s two catches today.

It'll be interesting to see a plot of all Mahomes' pass attempts.. He can't really throw accurately to his left side because of his injured toe. And now you see him limping

I got downvoted to hell on reddit for saying the toe injury is probably a bigger deal than the choke out/concussion. Looks like it might actually be true :ahwow:

TOM BRADY!

Greatest of all time and it's not even close!

Romo made a good point that even if Mahomes goes on a run like Brady's, it'll be almost impossible to beat him because of this game

Nice to see Brady win one without his team having to cheat too SeemsGood

I actually felt sorry for Mahomes. He played his heart out

The Official *NFL* thread
 

Congrats to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay wins their second Super Bowl because of their tough imposing defence.

Like what former NFL coach Bill Cowher said at the postgame show, the game was won in the trenches.

The Bucs won the game on the scrimmage line with their defensive line and offensive dice lines. They sat back, and only blitzed five times tonight.

Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles deserves t tonne of credit for a defensive scheme that surprised the Chiefs offence.

Hard to imagine that AB, Gronk, and Fournette made a huge impact in this game.

Gronk coming out of retirement. AB’s career is resurrected after many teams released him.

Coach Bruce Arians wins the Super Bowl as the oldest NFL coach in history at 68 years old.

Brady wins another Super Bowl MVP and his seventh Super Bowl title.


Old Yoda Brady beats young Yoda Mahomes. LUL

He beat three Super Bowl MVPs Aaron Rodgers, Brees, and Mahomes in the playoffs this season.


You cannot teach an old dog new tricks. -does not matter when you have old pit bulls on your team. :lawl:

Defence wins championships. The Bucs shut down Tyreek Hill tonight.

Play of the game

Not saying the Chiefs would have won, but it would have been an entirely different game if they'd not lost two starter tackles. One an all time great

Buccs D played out of their minds but Mahomes was pressured more than any QB in SB history. That's an outlier, and it's due partially to losing those two guys. On top of that, nobody was getting open, and guys were dropping passes right into their hands.

Felt like I was watching a Ravens game LUL

This ^
It will be more competitive game.

But Tampa Bay got a prefect game tonight
with their defend played
Buccs wasn't even blitzing. but Mahomes was running for his live at all downs

Mahomes' highlight reel of incomplete passes were unreal! In one play, he was flying horizontal (Bobby Orr) and he threw a perfect catchable spiral.

Here are 2 incompletion highlights in a row, starting at the 2:50 mark:

^ That would have been one of the greatest plays in SB history... Only knocked down a bit because it was in a bad loss, but still.

That throw

Brady going after Mathieu was interesting to see

What was the Mathieu vs. Brady jawing all about?

The way I remember it, it was Mathieu doing his typical trash talk after a play (maybe the interception that got called back). Brady responded and probably told him he'll be going after him from now on... Brady went after him, and he got that pass interference on Evans, and they scored.

Mathieu went after him after the TD and Brady responded with a level of ferocity I don't think I've ever seen! Even Mathieu was shocked, he mentioned it in the press conference after the game KEKW

Virtanen fans are gonna be happy LUL

Texans release JJ Watt.

They could have traded him and received some assets back but as a thank you they released him so he could choose where he goes, probably end up on the Steelers with his brother. Texans are one of the worst run teams in the league but I'll give them credit for this move.

So how does Watson force a trade? Sit out? It doesn't sound like the Texans want to move him, that 4 first round pick ask is a lot then again Lions did get two for an older not as good Stafford.

Triple Wattage in Pittsburgh?

Rams didn't give those picks for Stafford, they gave them to the Lions to take Goff LUL

They're like $30 million over the cap so have a lot of work to do just to get out of the red :considered:

He'll want to go on a contending team, it'll be interesting to see how it works out. Bucs maybe?

Hmmmm ... Wentz to the Colts.

https://www.tsn.ca/report-philadelph...olts-1.1594826

They got a 3rd and a 2nd (possibly becoming a 1st) for him

Remember to move up to draft him, they gave up two 1sts, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th

The good news is that they got something in return for him, rather than having to do what the Rams did with Goff, having to pay a team to take him

Of course he set them up to win a Super Bowl, so probably worth it in the end

-hearing news that Russell Wilson wants out of Seattle. He is not happy with the coaching staff. -said some things to the media about the offence need to revolve around him more and better offensive line protection.

Russell has no NTC in his contract though. Seahawks can't rebuild now with no 1st round picks available in the next draft because of the Jamal Adams trade.

-gonna be sleepless nights in Seattle the longer Wilson stays in Seattle?

-heard from friends that Russell is willing to be traded to the Cowboys, Raiders, Bears, and Saints.

Ten teams called the Seahawks GM to inquire about Wilson.

https://www.nfl.com/news/russell-wil...erest-10-teams

Wow ... dat's huge! Pete Carroll and Wilson not on the same page?

Pete Carroll will get fire before they trade Russell Wilson

It will cost Seattle $39M to trade Russell
Highly Doubt

-interesting developments with the Seahawks now. Wilson and coach Carroll are definitely not getting along:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/article...nearing-split/


Could Russell Wilson’s tenure with the Seattle Seahawks actually be nearing an end after nine consecutive years of above-.500 football?

There has been trade buzz around the star quarterback ever since his frustrations regarding pass protection and his overall relationship with the organization were made public earlier this month.


A Thursday story from The Athletic reported tensions between Wilson and the coaching staff, particularly head coach Pete Carroll, were high at times during the 2020 season. The article indicated Wilson even “stormed out of the room” during a mid-season meeting with coaches, during which Wilson was reportedly pushing for more input on personnel decisions and offensive game planning, however, his ideas were dismissed.
