Last week the young rookie head coach from the Houston Texans BLITZED Lamar to death. This week KC BLITZED Lamar all night long.
The Elite QBs LOVE BLITZES, because that opens up big plays and windows down field. Until Lamar can figure this defensive philosophy and game plan used against him, he will never progress to the next level. 2 weeks in a row!

A lot of things went SF's way in the 2nd half, but you'd have to say that Purdy's IQ and his ability to process are pretty elite.

Brady didn't beat Mahomes--the Bucs D-Line running through backups did. Mahomes was running for his life that whole game.

I think NBA playoffs are better than NFL playoffs, not joking. Although the one and done format of the NFL playoffs makes it more likely for upsets to happen, for me, I like it when the best teams match up and the chess matches over the course of a 7 game series play out, and how sometimes it just comes down to one guy being individually brilliant (Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, Curry, Duncan, etc).

But getting to the NBA playoffs is a grind, I agree that the regular season really doesn’t hold the same appeal that it used to, for various reasons.

Sucks for the Lions but it was my expected result and now they're gonna lose their OC. :(

Happy for Cowboys fans that the Chiefs made it back to the Super Bowl!

Last season finals series was so boring, I fell asleep. I have never falling to sleep out of boredom from any SB championship, including lopsided ones.

Maybe the Joker game is so boring like Duncan's game is probably the main reason as he shows more emotion riding his horse than making game winning baskets.

I think everyone outside of the state of California is upset at how that game went. 49ers are so lucky to have walked away winners. They were lucky against the Packers too.

When everything always goes your way then it must be your year.

I stopped watching about mid-way thru the 3rd but was following the game on my phone. The Lions lost this game for the same reason they lost the game in Dallas, Dan Campbell’s arrogance.

The ending is what I predict before the game however I didn’t think it would be because of an epic choke job in the 2nd half. The Niners got real lucky in this one.

Should be a fun matchup with the Chiefs.

There were 3 plays that cost the Lions the game.
1) Going for it on 4th down instead of kicking the field goal. considering they lost by 3 points, it needed to be brought up.
2) The fumble by Gibbs. Can't happen. It cost your team 7 points.
3) The bad throw by Purdy that goes off a Lion defender and luckily caught by Aiyuk. **** happens. I get it. Horrible break that cost you another 7 points.
49ers should feel very fortunate today. I didn't even include the 4 drops by the Lions in the game. 3 of them were just awful, especially the 2 by Josh Reynolds.Regardless, Lions covered so in that department all things went well for me.

After the last 2 games the 49ers are favorites? Can't be serious.

For point #3, it was a pass interference on the DB anyway. So it would've been Niners ball on the 8 yard line. Wasn't a bad pass, the DB just impeded Aiyuk and got flagged for it.

Otherwise, I agree.

I'm sure I might of missed something else. I was hosting a football party yesterday so I was not only tipsy, but busy. But 5 big wins in a row now so its all worth it. :D

How is dropping non contested balls and fumbles in the 2nd half was DUE to the Lions HC arrogance? That's like saying all those games KC had lost this season because of all those pass drops was DUE to Andy Reid's ARROGANCE?!?

That's such a BS take like you didn't watch the 2nd half but the highlights to form your opinion. Dan Campell didn't change his MO but did what he's been doing all season to get to the conference finals.

Agree that those dropped balls and Gibbs fumble were players choking under pressure, not due to arrogance Lol
