Chiefs Defeat 49ers in Super Bowl LIV

 

At the start of the fourth quarter, the San Francisco 49ers lead the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10. Then they decided to relax. The Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs roared back with 21 unanswered points, winning the game 31-20.

Congratulations to coach Andy Reid, and all the loyal Kansas City fans who have waited 50 years to get back to the Super Bowl.

I’m a Packers fan, so I didn’t have a dog in the hunt. I was pulling for the Chiefs but predicted a three-point victory for the Niners. What were your thoughts on the game?

    Then they should just ban helmets from professional and kids football. Just don’t use your head to to tackle and you will be fine. Or you can just play a more fun team sport that involves less equipment and a more balanced athletic exertions like soccer or basketball, or alternatively if you are a more lazy athlete baseball. I would say hockey is also a good sport but it involves a lot of special equipment. From a friendly easy to run perspective soccer and basket ball have to be the best sports. In soccer all you need is some shoes and shin guards and a flat open space for nets. Basketball you need even less equipment and you can play indoors so it can be year round. Plus both sports involve constant activity and play (more or less) which seems more engaging to partake in. I certainly enjoyed little league soccer. You get to run around with your friends a kick a ball and maybe tackle a few guys.

     

    Soccer and basketball are excellent competitive team games for almost all age groups and sexes without requiring high-level skills and both provide good exercise. Baseball is the perfect team game for high skill male athletes. Competitive sports don’t suit all people.

    Niners fan from Candlestick days (have known some who go back to Kezar), so yes, tough loss.

    Mahomes showed ridiculous poise when it mattered most, coming back from the two INTs and some moments where he looked legitimately flustered. Now I get how the Cincinnati Bengals felt.

    Big respect to KC, happy for Andy Reid (Bill Walsh’s OL coach from ’80s).

    Still, Niners are young and hungry. Didn’t really expect this quick of a rise (SB this year, I mean), but could feel it brewing.

    Niners were rising in the second half of the 2017 season, but were set back in 2018 by the early season-ending injury to Garrapolo. That actually ended up helping them, because it allowed them to draft Bosa in this past year’s NFL draft (Bosa apparently being a Trump fan while also living up to his high draft selection, it’s going to be interesting to see how the Bay Area media handles him as a contrast-and-compare to the support they gave Kaepernick — the Twitter sewer is already going after him today)

    I believe there are specialty bars for that sort of thing, but I’m with you in spirit. I just have a problem with the lack of any moral conscience concerning the young sons and daughters watching with their folks. Isn’t this the #metoo movement generation?

    It was a great game.  I was pulling for the Chiefs, without feeling very strongly about it.  It’s almost always best when we get a close, hard-fought, clean game.  Of course, if your favorite team is playing, it’s fun to be on the winning end of a blowout.

    I think you are correct. Being a Chiefs fan, I have watched Mahomes from his first game as a pro. Last night wasn’t his best performance. Give credit to the 49ers defense, but Patrick didn’t have the zip or the accuracy that we have grown to expect from him.

    Umm . . . not my quote.

    Long time Chiefs fan.  We’re ecstatic!  On the other hand, what a game.  The Chiefs O-Line had a phase where they couldn’t block a breeze, let alone a line-backer.  And the D seemed to be unable to interrupt the 49ers’ passing game.  The most important play of the night was the 49ers with a false start on the goal line seemed to give the Chiefs the break in the game they needed to get their heads back in.  And the Pass Interference (seriously, just jumping into a receiver?) that put the Chiefs on the goal line to start their comeback.

    Winning dirty -relying on the SF screwups.  But hey, after 50 years, I’ll take it.

    The offensive pass interference call on Kittle also was huge, but I thought it was right.

    That’s what defenders do when they get beat badly. If not that, Mahomes finds another way.

    Right. It was probably unnecessary since the pass was perfectly thrown and the defender was beat.

    From what I’ve heard the overwhelming majority of Hispanics find it ridiculous at best. It’s yet another attempt by over-educated white women to tell minorities what they should be offended by.

    Also: Considering how important gender is to Spanish grammar, wouldn’t trying to remove it be a case of imposing Western values?

    I could deal with this whole thing much easier if all the attention was on the biological word ‘sex’ instead of the language and grammar word ‘gender’. I suppose anyone who thinks they are not male or female could then propose new words that fit their identified ‘sex’.

    The game was good, but I spent the entire second half wondering how female empowerment is advanced by scantily-clad superstar singers bumping and grinding with a cast of a hundred dancing men.

    That was one of the worst half time shows since putting them in. They really should do away with them and focus on football.

    YEA! Great idea!  If the game is not enough, then do something else.

    For a game I didn’t see or follow it was amazing. I was particularly impressed by that one kick and then when the guy ran with the ball and the other guy ran after him and then it stopped and we got commercials that was like wow amazeballs!

    If your bladder wasn’t completely emptied by that, I have another bowl of corn flakes you might wish to use. ;)

    I really like the ReadyKilowatt icon. It seems like just yesterday when the KC Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings. No wait, that was 50 years ago!

    There was a great picture of 96 year old Bob Dole at the game! He had been there 50 years ago when the Chiefs last won the Super Bowl IV.

    As they always do, the Vikings choked on the day of the Super Bowl, and then won the next time they played. After the Chiefs won the 1970 Super Bowl, the same two teams played on opening day of the 1970 season, and Minnesota won 27-10.

    I remember it well.  Kind of embarrassing.
