And the 7 month wait for the new season begins.

The Bucs D truly were the difference makers tonight. The Chief's O-Line issue has been ongoing all year and they still managed to go 14-2 and get to the Super Bowl. The Bucs D simply outplayed the Chiefs offense all night.
Fully agree I gave them a full stop and an extra line space to emphasise them as I was too lazy to type it all out.

Yes, I’d agree that the Gruden team was better given it had 3 hall of famers on D.
Completely different scheme as well. We are still learning this one & it showed a bit this season, but we’re positioned well.

Bucs offense didn’t get out of first gear all 2nd half either

Yep. Part of that was down to not making the right adjustments to deal with the Bucs pass rush. Mahomes should've been using more screens and short passes to alleviate the pressure, but somehow found himself running for his life while the longer patters were developing. Credit to the Bucs DL and LBs though. Barrett, Pierre-Paul, and Suh in particular.

Champa Bay. One potential pitching move away from holding three trophies simultaneously.

I was not expecting that result at all. Chiefs got an absolute whooping.

This is a huge challenge to the other teams in the NFL since the other team's thought you could get it done with no defence and just a great offense. The Bucks have shown that both side's of the ball still matter.

Just can’t get over on how exceptional that Buccs defence was tonight. They absolutely suffocated that Chiefs offence and made them look very average.

Bucs front 7 was fantastic but nobody on that D had a bad game.

Perfect game by the Bucs - as close as.

Eh, I thought Superbowl 50 already showed that.

Need to get that stadium thing sorted out or they'll be leaving this area before the end of decade. I hope they'll eventually do that Ybor proposal (with the soccer pitch to attract MLS interest).
Always wanted the stadium at the Al Lang location on the water, just down the road from the current shithole, but Ybor wouldn’t be bad at all. It will be tough sledding to try to get traction for a new stadium if Covid persists, but probably equally as difficult for another locale to build a stadium for them.

The screens and short passes were getting blown up from the start. Not sure what you’re expecting Mahomes to do there.

They should've kept calling plays that prevented him from holding the ball for more than a couple of seconds since they knew the Bucs would be swarming him all night long.

Pretty bad all round, also why the hell didn't I pick Aaron Donald to win DPOTY. Also, wtf Tom Brady, that's enough.

Your AFC & NFC picks aren’t all that bad in a wild year, and a Steelers’ player should’ve won DPOTY 100% (though not the one you picked).
