So will NFL teams start playing the Chiefs differently now?

[Controversy]

It just wasn't about the pass rush tho...we also have talent at LB & in the secondary

Truthfully, our secondary is better than our DL...once Cooper Dejean started playing, our def ascended and didn't look back

To beat KC you have to be strong in the middle of the field...you need good safeties, a good slot corner, and your LBs have to hold up in coverage

Before the bowl, I said Pat ain't as good when he has happy feet so the DL had to be disruptive...mission accomplished...however, you still gotta hold up on the backend

Mahomes been mid for 2 years now, best believe they gonna get that man some help

True but he the main reason why the won the 3 SBs they won....pulling shyt out of his azz. I was thinking it was more Reid but it may be more Mahomes like it was more Brady than Beli. Its a combo of both but we will see.

Until i see buffalo or Baltimore beat KC, KC still run the AFC

However i do like how Denver Defense plays KC

Sean P. would somehow fukk it up for the Broncos with the "cute" shyt on Offense and relying on "Random #s".

It's definitely a combo of both, probably more Mahomes than Reid honestly, and also his defense being otherworldly. Trading Tyreek hurt the offense as well as Kelce waiting to get his bags checked in at Holmes Spa and Retreat Resort

 

[SoSoSlick]

As dominant as that Dline was, Mahomes and Reid look arrogant as fukk after the fact as well. To just keep dropping back was asinine. I get it, it's always worked out somehow so that's we do, but yeah....

And it's been said, but having a Dline that dominant is super rare. Them nikkas looked like the 85 bears.

Exactly.

The Chiefs offense wasn’t what it was in years past, but what other teams are doing what the Eagles defense did?

It’s the same thing that happened when @Derek Lee watched his first Giants game in the first Patriots v.s. Giants Super Bowl matchup.

You get pressure with just four and that spells trouble, no matter who the QB is.

Yup. Combine being able to get pressure with just four plus having CBs solid in coverage and it leaves LBs and Ss free to roam and shut off rushing lanes and take away the middle of the field.

 

[In The Zone '98]

They are definitely drafting two RBs

Play games if you want to

 

[L&HH]

KC has no WRs. It didn’t help that old man Nuk/Kelce were dropping passes they usually catch, but the other WRs didn’t do much until garbage time.

Other NFL teams can’t copy Philly cuz they don’t have the DL talent to rush 4 and still get insane pressure. Well aside from Indy for some reason.

Sky Moore and Rashee Rice were hurt. They could possibly make a difference

You right on Rice but Sky Moore wasn't helping shyt. He fukked up every time he saw the field.

 

[Doctor Doom]

Stop playing zone coverage against them

 

[Controversy]

Stop playing zone coverage against them

We primarily played match zone against them on Sun

 

[broller]

Hard to emulate a formula based on wrecking havoc only sending 4 while your QB dismantles Spags on the other side and makes the hole too deep to dig out of.


Tampa did it back in 2020, 49ers defense honestly had that type of performance both times but their offense just couldn't take advantage and stack points.

Also what's forgotten about in last year's SB was the muffed punt by the 9ers that led to a Chiefs TD

 

[broller]

The Buccaneers had the same gameplan when they smacked the shyt out em. Ya still need the personnel, from the DL, secondary and DC to execute that and only a handful of teams could even TRY doin that shyt.

Yeah it's not just the d-line but all 3 levels. Even when Mahomes escaped the pressure, the coverage was good. On the Chiefs first drive , on 3rd down Mahomes escaped and the Eagles DBs were like glue. When the pass was broken up, you could feel the energy from the Eagles sideline. The level of pride from them was 2013 Seahawks esque. That really confirmed to me the Eagles were gonna put a whuppin on.

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

30 teams have a dominate 4 man D-Line?

 

[Art Barr]

Teams still have this fear around this offense like it’s 2018-2022 anymore. This is not the same chiefs on that side of the ball. They are a defensive dominated team now.

This.

The chiefs became cheap and invested in winning ugly. Which made sense. In a lot of instances and circumstances.
given that people played up for them. Plus being two times champions played up excessively. That no one across from them matched the scouting report in ferocity. As every team they faced was rabid in ferocity. As well as playing up. So the chiefs did good to find a playstyle.
to best most of the scenarios. Of when things got tight. Just in doing that. They became complacent and cheap in this philosophy and let their foot off the gas.
on offensive threat explosion style players.
that brought them to the dance. As well as becoming to afc and never getting a bell back. To control the time of possession from said rabid ferocity. Being displayed every game on the field.
Chiefs did a good job dealing with teams playing up and making it murky. Yet the chiefs failed to find offensive explosive talents. That made them the chiefs.
which created the rabid ferocity based energy.
every team opposite them employed.
to cover what was once a extremely severe gap in offensive talent.


When the chiefs failed to replace this threat. It was only a matter of time. Till their new play style and lack of offensive explosive talent caught up to them. Since it happened in the superbowl. The chiefs should be a smart enough front office lead franchise. To now re-invest in the parts.
to retool their original explosive offensive. To get back to who they were. As well as now come to the dance.
with this Andy Reid afc meets nfc style super scrappy defense as well.
