LOL I am a female football fan. But I think both teams played a helluva game and it was just pure luck that the Chiefs won. Shanahan made no mistakes and if the Niners had won, the pundits would be going on and on about how Andy Reid screwed up and how Shanahan was brilliant.
Someone had to win and someone had to lose. The game was uncomfortably close. Both QBs were amazing.

“Shanahan made no mistakes...”
3 red zones, 3 field goals. His play calling on 2nd down were awful. He was going for the end zone instead of getting a first down.

Well, as I said, IMO, both teams were screwing up by not running more. I felt like the winner would be the one least hurt by their flawed game plans. A bit different than the usual post-mortem stuff you hear...
Most look only at the players about who won or lost. I have a tendency to look first at the coaching staff and their game plan, play design, and play calls.
I think the KC players overcame a flawed game plan better than the SF players.

Now the blame has shifted to the SF defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.

I think nowadays more women watch the Super Bowl than men. It certainly was that way in my house, I didn’t bother.

Oh come on. They shut down KC.
Maybe if you aren’t on the field most of the 4th quarter after several 3 and outs they could have got some rest.

I know they did in the first three quarters. I am just telling you an article I read. I don’t know enough about it to read blitzes etc.

I grew up playing and watching sports including football. I guess its ingrained in me. I have a lot of fun with it, especially my analytics which I find are pretty insightful as it was in this Super Bowl. Not useless or hocus-pocus analytics but actual useful analysis that helps predict who and why the winner might be. Plus I love watching top skill in action.

Wow Impy! Is Danny Lee's thread going viral this year?
I searched the conference finals thread and Yahoo for everybody's picks then had to deal with this 771 post thread for peoples picks. I'm pretty sure I got it right.
As usual I enjoy playing my part in the whole thing and I hope we can keep it going. God bless you and all the players.
To: WhoisAlanGreenspan?; Impy
Well, at least I got the Super Bowl right.
it’s been fun All! Look forward to next season. Take care All!
