I think some of the calls are deserved imo, I think that's on the Chiefs' defense, but yeah some of them are kinda ticky-tack especially the one that reversed Honey Badger's interception? Yeah, that was not it, you can argue that was the wrong call. But this is not Green Bay level where you can argue that if there's a call that can be reversed, maybe Green Bay could advance... Oh no. Although you could argue that Green Bay's failure to capitalize on three turnovers and Matt LaFleur's questionable decision to punt it in the last stretch was honestly the final nail in their coffin.
When I heard that Eric Fischer and Mitchell Schwartz is out for the game, I was like 'oh no... This was not going to end well.' and it did... Although to be fair I didn't expect it to be this bad.
The Buccaneers defense of Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, Devin White, Lavonte David, Ndamukong Suh, Jordan Whitehead, and etc. They were smothering Mahomes and clamping the receivers well. But what was the Chiefs' offensive line doing!? At one point Mahomes was pancaked by three players at the same time, protect him! It's ugly as hell... If anyone had to be blamed for this defeat it's not Mahomes, he was trying his best by doing the best he could with that leaky offensive line. Yet it just wasn't enough to even get one touchdown. Also, damn it Andy! Why did you call a timeout!? You knew you were facing Tom Brady and you gave him more time? smh.
I guess Todd Bowles' defensive masterclass shone through and won the Bucs the Super Bowl... But not the enjoyment of fans. I think the Bucs would win anyway even without penalties.
Gratz! Really glad that the Bucs win!
