Not to the NFL.  They wanted these two teams because of TV markets.

I think this was the most attractive to the NFL. These 2 are the biggest markets left and the Patriots are a huge brand. But for me personally? Yah I wanted that Chiefs and Rams re match for sure without a doubt.

I mean they have. It used to be even a field goal would beat you if you got the ball and scored first. At least you have to score a touchdown now when you get the ball first to win the game. If you only make a field goal the other team still gets a chance.

I make $0 off the super bowl, so there is nothing for me to gain from it now. There aren’t really any storylines stemming from this matchup. Yawn! Rams-Chiefs or Brees-Brady would’ve been bigger hype trains

McVay and The Hoodie is a huge storyline. Boy Wonder offensive genius vs the OG defensive genius and wiz. They will be putting in a lot of air time from that angle leading up to the game. But yah I was so excited for Mahomes and Goff part 2.

Brady and the Pats going for #6 against the team that they got #1. It is serendipitous.

Yep, no way a coin toss should determine a game. You get to overtime in this case because both defenses gave up a scoring drives late in the 4th. Neither team was stopping the other one anymore. I'd just as soon them go to the college format of overtime. At least it's fair. And how does Dee Ford line up offside in this situation? The game is over if he just pays attention to that detail. I'm not a Chief's fan but the Pats are like Bama, I pull for whoever is playing them. Rant over, go Rams!

What? The Chiefs allowing a TD in overtime is what decided the game. If the Chiefs can’t stop tbe Josh Gordonless Patriots on multiple 3rd and long attempts they didn’t deserve to win anyway.

I get that captain obvious. The point is that whoever wins the toss has a huge advantage.

You’re impossible. I guess I’m supposed to assume a successfully called coin toss is equal to a TD? 

There is no real advantage to winning tbe toss if defense can actually be played.

It’s not the like the NFL hasn’t already eliminated the FG for tbe win. Maybe then you’d have a better complaint.

I mean there are advantages that can be shifted in favor of one team over another based on a damn coin toss in college football as well. 

 

Damn son.

Not impossible at all. But one team scoring a TD on the first drive ends the game but a team kicking a FG doesn't? That makes zero sense. So the Chiefs defense failed to stop them, that's true but the Patriots didn't even have to prove they could stop the Chiefs in OT. That's what I think is the problem with this OT structure.

It really doesn’t. I guess the NFL got tired of hearing the complaints from the gr82be’s out there.

And until changes are made, that’s on tbe Chiefs defense.
