I agree about both.
And having the support of the home crowd behind them only helps that endeavor.
āItās great to play at Arrowhead. Thereās something about Sundays in Chiefs Kingdom that Iāve noticed - stores shut down and everybody is here for the game. Thatās amazing. Iāve never been part of an organization that is like that where stores actually shut down to come watch the Chiefs play. This is an important thing for the community.ā
I think I want the Chiefs to win the SB even more than the year Seattle won the big game. This city is so deserving of it.
Saints and Chiefs.
Wouldnāt surprise me if the Pats won just because I hate them but Iām done picking against Mahomes.
Love how Vinovich ā ā ā ā ā ā over the Steelers by not being able to referee then got playoff games. How the hell was he rated that highly?
We won!!!
NFC champs!!
Safe to say that the Rams MVP of the game is the ref who missed the PI call.

Bad call no doubt, but the game wasnāt lost because of that call. Jared Goff stepped up bigly.
True but, had the ref called PI on the Rams, the Saints will get a fresh sets of downs and run out the clock or score a TD.
The Patriots are heading to another Super Bowl after beating the Chiefs in a thrilling overtime game.
The Pats scored the GW touchdown on the opening drive, and KC didnāt even touched the ball in overtime.
Do you think thatās fair?
Rams and Patriots, then.
Iāll catch the highlights on ESPN when the game is over. Not a compelling enough matchup to tune in.
No, I most definitely do not. They can keep the āsudden deathā aspect in OT for the regular season if they want, but no way for playoff games, especially one which determines which team wins the conference title and participates in the SB.
So essentially a coin toss determined the winner of a monumentally important game. Mahomes is likely to be the MVP, heās the most exciting QB this season and set new records, and he and his teammates were never given the chance to respond to the Patriots TD was just not right.
Now all that being said, I have to admit the Patriots did an amazing job in the first half keeping KCs explosive offense from even getting a FG. KC then showed a lot of character by managing to come back and even briefly take the lead.
I wouldnāt have been so upset if the OT didnāt allow for sudden death. If KC had been given possession and failed to score a TD it would have been a fair end to it all.
Oh, and I instantly became a Rams supporter after the outcome, although there was controversy as well with the blatant PI that was not called.
Not really for me either, but we are hosting a SB party regardless and will still have fun.
Thatās what Iām talking about! Welcome!

Thanks, and best wishes to your team.
On another note, the KC/Patriots game had over 50 million viewers, and was the second highest rated program by far, right after last yearās SB.
I guess the predictions of the death of the NFL were highly exaggerated. Now, if they can just do something in the off season to correct the OT rules, at least for playoff games. I read quite a few articles with writers who have the same opinion, so itās not just me.
I disagree. True, there a many twists and turns during a game. Ebb and flow. Both teams had their moments or lack of them. But if the PI is called, Saints win. It was also a helmet-to-helmet personal foul. This is a game-changing call in the last 2 minutes. And it was obvious to the entire world watching the game. The Rams are a great team. But the refs gave them the Super Bowl.
I think the Saints should invite the Chiefs (or vice-versa) to play an alternative Super Bowl on Super Bowl Sunday. They might get more viewers. That would be fun, fun, fun.
There was no missed call. We all know that refs only blow calls that cost the Steelers wins. Every call for every other team is absolutely correct unless it somehow goes against the Steelers.
Sigh. At least the loss finally got Bob Sutton fired, which is almost as good as the Lombardi trophy.
I think you could be right. Iām not a bit excited about the big game, which is quite unusual. There almost always is one team I really want to win. This time I am going to be cheering for the Rams, but thatās honestly because their opponents are the Patriots.
The Chiefs game got monster ratings. Will be interesting to see what it ends up being for the SB.
90% of the country became Rams fans the second the Patriots won.
I like the Rams. They arenāt my favorite team but I loved them back in the Kurt Warner / Marshall Faulk era and there is nothing thats happened since to make me dislike them except jealousy that they have the best young coach in the NFL. Plus they were my preseason pick to win the superbowl, even if I did end up picking the Saints against them last week. And of course unless there is money on the line Iāll always root against the Patriots.
