That's what makes this game so fascinating.
It's actually a benchmark game for Mahomes's career. I think if he wins, they'll win the super bowl, and Mahomes will be back on track to get many rings and try to catch Tom if he can
But if they lose, it'll make people realize they blew their shot at a dynasty. And it will also make people pay attention to Mahomes's flaws and put things in perspective. Because many people act like Pat and the Chiefs are already a Dynasty for some reason, and they constantly say Mahomes is the best QB ever, already. So if they lose, it'll lead to a correction.
@murksiderock as i mentioned in another thread, if Mahomes doesn't win another ring, people will realize that Mahomes actually isn't THAT much better than his peers - he just landed in a better spot, so he got a better headstart. People will also realize that Mahomes isn't the first QB to do the things he's done... Favre, Warner, Stafford, Rodgers, etc. Have all done side-arm throws, no look passes, scrambling, underhand tosses, etc...
I sound like a hater but I'm not. Mahomes is great. But he's riding a stock bubble that needs to pop
Bruh you don't sound like a hater, you sound like an objective football head. This board is Pro-MaCracker and any criticism is met with force, so these nikkas will label you a hater. These dudes just aren't objective football heads...
You know how many times I told dudes the last few years Mahomes not the first guy to do these "wow" plays? He's the evolution of Marino---->Favre---->Manning---->Rodgers----->now it's Mahomes...
Every single one of the aforementioned quarterbacks was said to be the most gifted player at his position ever. Literally all of them. Mahomes ain't broke no mold, and part of what got nikkas tight on here was I was the first guy to call this out here abd nikkas know I'm right

Mahomes will break this mold if he wins 3 Super Bowls, or if he plays in 5. None of these guys did that and they all had lengthy careers (17+ years for them all). Winning multiple MVPs isn't distinguishing himself from anybody, Favre won 3, Fraudgers won 4, Manning won 5. All the acrobatic passes aren't new, the extension of plays aren't new. History shows us all these "most talented QB ever" types wind up with two chips.ol max, and have All-Time careers while not quite fulfilling the expectations "the best player we've ever seen" is supposed to have...
This game means alot for both in the grand scheme of things. I know this, even in a loss, Mahomes can't get OUTPLAYED by Burrow in two consecutive AFCCGs on his home field. Burrow outplayed him last year. I don't wanna hear all that "the quarterbacks aren't playing each other" bullshyt the apologists be on, we know how QBs are compared and it's been that way for a long time. Mahomes was arguably outplayed by Allen last year at home, was certainly outplayed by Brady in the Super Bowl the prior year, was outplayed by Burrow last year...
He's an All-Timer but this "gap" people pretend is huge, is contradicting itself in two years back to back. He can't make it a third year in a row someone else outplays him, not for the guy everyone swears is the best player at his position ever...
