I was surprised this wasn't called for an illegal helmet to helmet hit.

I'm not saying the league is questionable....
But that was dangerous, Mahomes also cannot play vs the Bills.
Will player safety somehow be forgotten and he allowed to play? So there is a potential of a Brady/Mahomes Superbowl.

That seems to be uncertain at present from some US media coverage - the protocol seems to be open to numerous outcomes.

As a Chiefs fan the only consolation of No 15 possibly being unavailable on Sunday is knowing that Andy Reed is coaching this team and will come up with a plan that gives us a shot of getting to the Superbowl.
Interesting to note we ran all over them in week 6 gaining more yards on the ground than through the air. Question is can we do this with Henne at QB and not having the same threat with his
arm?

Can I just post a NFL random irritation here? It's not "superbowl" - one word. It's two words - "Super Bowl".
Thankyou.
That one was also brought to you by the entire Bucs' PR staff where it's a $10 fine if you get it wrong anywhere.

Appologies from me, I am a very lazy keyboardist.
Anyways, going to be a struggle for yous and us next week.
Watching old man Brees last night its just as well NO only allowed Jameis the one pass, the offence couldn't have been any worse than it was with no down field threat.
Looking forward to my mate getting up New Orleans this morning and giving him plenty of stick. He's been telling me how many weapons the Saints had on offence all season....

PS, what’s your thoughts on Brady lifting the Vince Lombardi whilst wearing a Bucks shirt. I know you have not been a lover of him and the Pats. So would it be a mixed emotions day or not.

No idea why he would be wearing the shirt of the Milwaukee basketball team
But for the BUCS, I would have no problem with him. His biggest advantage is that he is not Jameis Winston. So without 40 turnovers a season, the team is successful. They were loaded with talent when Brady signed in March and added three major pieces in the draft too. I have heard nothing but good things from around One Buc Place about how he is with team-mates and staffers alike.I was there in Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on 26 Jan 2003 when the Bucs beat the Raiders and it was the greatest moment any die-hard fan like I am could experience. I have even gotten to hold the actual Vince Lombardi Trophy from the win, not one of the replicas. I would not want to go to another Super Bowl - one was enough and it was special.

Each team gets a unique trophy and the chance to purchase two replicas that are around two inches shorter. These are used for public appearances. The Bucs have one replica in the foyer at One Buc Place and the other goes out for fan events. I was fortunate enough to get to hold the original that remains in the Glazers' office. I always remember being at one of the Wembley events where there was an even smaller copy of the trophy on display and people phoning their friends to say they had taken their picture with the Super Bowl.
The best story about the trophy is that this will be Super Bowl LIV (54) but there are 55 trophies in existence. The Baltimore Colts won Super Bowl V and the trophy was held by their owner Carroll Rosenbloom. He then did a deal to purchase the LA Rams with Robert Irsay taking over the Colts. He simply took the trophy with him because he thought it was his. Irsay spent years trying to get it back and eventually Commissioner Pete Rozelle gave permission for an identical replica Super Bowl V trophy to be made for the Colts. There were stories a few years ago that the original was returned but it's still a classic trivia fact.

See that Old Man Rivers has finally dragged his boat ashore and decided to coach high school football.
Ends up 5th in all time passing yards

watched the last play of the Chiefs Browns game a few times now, for the uneducated fan like myself why is it deemed to be so special or brave a play call by coach Reid?
There's a minute left in the game and it's 4th down and inches just beside the half way line. I get it that normally on a 4th down you punt if you're too far out for a field goal attempt, bit risky to give up territory if you're play doesn't work out. This time KC did run a QB throw play on the 4th down. With only inches for the down didn't seem such a big deal to me but clearly I'm not getting it. The play looked very easy. I guess the trick was making Cleveland think you're going to punt?
Was the danger that a minute left was enough for cleveland offense to score a TD and win, even from way back in their own half?
% wise which was the safer thing for KC to do - punt or try for the inches down on 4th?

it was genius by the KC coaching staff in the way they pulled that play off. The safe tactic was to punt and force Cleveland to go the length of the field to try and win it. The normal step would be to come to the line of scrimmage and try to draw the defense offside, gain the five yards by penalty and end the game that way. To actually run a play is risking not making it and giving the Browns the ball at around midfield. But the way they did it coming up to the line and then snapping the ball when no-one expected it was unreal. They had definitely practiced that potential situation which is where great coaching comes in. It totally blew the mind of Tony Romo on the commentary and proved that the KC coach Andy Reid has the biggest balls in the NFL.

So if they got a 5 yard penalty from getting Brown's defense offside it would have been 1st down and 10 again?
