items that came up yesterday when Mahomes talk to the media,
and I missed this one yesterday because it's traveling, most of
the day
and I wish I had seen it because we would have written
about it. We probably will today,
we saw the two touchdowns, the one that put the Chiefs ahead.
Yeah. And the one that gave them the eight point lead with
mirror image of that motion pivot. Go, the other way
white-ass side. The first one was kaduri's Tony. The play was
called corn dog. They had used it week. One Pete them. A light
is fouled.
That play against the Cardinals on a third and to
where it was me Cole Harmon at the time, right? And it worked
you pivot and you're Wide Open. Tony wide open, TouchDown
Sky, more
other side of the field. Next, Drive wide open TouchDown.
Here's my home's. Talking about the fact that
that wasn't exactly how they drew that one up here. It is
we actually met at the formation a little bit but we
were able to you still utilize the play, just to how the play
worked and I think I'll solve
You look to the right first and look, back to the left
because sky was probably pushing me on the other side. But
he's able to do the motion and get in the end zone. And so,
at the end of the day,
touchdown his first touchdown to win the Super Bowl. So,
I mean, I would be a memory can have
So they screwed up the formation little bit, but you
know what? They just figured out how to make it work. You
know, hey we got to make chicken salad here and this
fault and it's for when I want to call a timeout, only got two
left. So off we go and
I don't know. Did he realize that the last second? I think
I'd better get to the other side, all crappy, snap
the ball. I'm just gonna go back. I know, I like, what do I do
here? Work last time. Yeah, you
know, and I'm guessing within this and what they're talking
about and if we can maybe show it from the top here again,
perfect here, I'm guessing
It was supposed to be contrarious. Tony, again,
that's what I'm guessing and areas Tony's. The guy down here
at the bottom of the screen. So, you know, I yeah, I I'm
I'm guessing, it's one of those things where Mahomes just talk
a bit supposed to be Canaria, Stony. They saw Sky more there
too late in the play clock. All right, you just got to go with
it. And
that's again, where I think goes into the culture of their
team, a little bit in their coaching and everything where,
you know, they all understand the plays. So there's not just
about like, oh no, wait I'm Always lined up right here than
if I, wait, I'm not here. I don't know what to do.
You know that? I think that goes into the, the great, you know,
coaching detail, the way they can make the offense easy for
everybody to explain that? Hey, yeah, even though you're
a rookie and you're not lined up in the right place. Look, you
know what you're supposed to do
and thank God, it all worked out.
Two points. Yeah,
number one,
if that touchdown had gone to caesarea Stoney
I think he's the MVP of the game maybe to try out some 65
yard punt return. Yeah, because Mahomes didn't even have 200
passing yards. You know, there's been this weird and
this is my other point. There's been this weird push back
on the Mahomes. Praise and I don't know if it's disgruntled
Eagles fans, I'm sure that some of it. Yeah.
Tom Brady
fans who can't process the fact that he's gone and never coming
back, unless he does come back. How dare you, how dare you
suggest that Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady? I ever
was at his best. We know aren't
right now, folks. Patrick homes is better. I said this
yesterday tweeted last night. Now, we are soldered on Li G.
I don't know how to live in there. We saw take. Yeah, I'll
take Patrick Mahomes over any quarterback that's ever played
the sport of football at his very best I'll take Patrick of
homes right now. Over any human
being that ever played quarterback in the NFL at any
point in the last 100 three years at his best. I don't care
who it is, whatever name, I don't care. I'll take my
home's.
Brady, I'll take my homes,
I'm anemic your homes.
Elway, mom's line them all up and I'll take my homes right
now and,
and people, I think people get mad about that, it's like, oh,
because they say, oh yeah, Ed did
too. I don't know who I'm imitating here but
this is what. In my mind, the idiocy that spawns, this common,
who to wide open TouchDown, as anybody could do that, my son
could have done that. Well, if you listen to the comments, if
you understand the play the corn dog, play that Peter broke
down in a conversation with Andy Reid,
Patrick Mahomes had to decide if we're going to run it. We're
going to pass it. Had to make a decision there, that's on him.
Well, it's the old days when the quarterback calls the play
at the line of scrimmage, he gets to choose run or pass.
He had to make in a split second, he had to see the Darius Slay
was coming across and it was
screwing up, and it was going to work. Instead of running
the ball, he had to make that decision. And then on the other
one, the formation screwed up. He made chicken salad out of
chicken. You know what?
Well, I know come on. Don't listen, those people wide open,
I know it was wide open because of his
Brain, it wasn't wide open because of his heart. Okay. So
we got his brain. Yeah, great. You know, he got, he got some
help from his coaches. So what nobody threw, more wide, open
touchdowns and Tom Brady. So I know, I hope their fans aren't
you
know, the ones there. I understand the statistics
aren't great.
You know, the point is this like it's not like, oh wow,
it's eye-popping. The point, is this everything? The Kansas
City Chiefs do is centered around Patrick Mahomes. It's
different.
It's an offense is different.
The Eagles game.
And was about one thing, stop Patrick Mahomes,
you know. And then he didn't have the benefit of having
the best offense aligned and football, just run and control
people all the time. All year long, right? I mean, this was
one of their better running games of the year
15, Russia's, 76 yards, right? But Isaiah Pacheco.
That's that's when they, when the Chiefs do that we go, whoa,
they ran the ball, they had a 60 yard rusher, right? I mean,
everything is on him,
the way they play. It's All About Him.
That's where I, you know, again
it's different that way
and Brady and his first three Super Bowls. It wasn't that way.
It wasn't all about him,
it was, you know, balanced offense, run the ball,
unbelievable, defensive game plans, all of that. So
that's where this is different in special.
It is they put it on one guy, shoulders from the get-go
and I like, I don't, you're not crazy, but you're saying they're
in their Prime at their best, you'll take My homes.
Yeah, I'm probably edging towards that as well. I think
I'm right there with you. I've never seen anything like this
guy,
right? And that's where he is, he's phenomenal.
And he's done it. A lot of years and goes to
the championship game, and the Super Bowl, and they're never
the number one scoring two events there. Never a top-10
defense. They're never that, you know,
and I could you be can go through the other great
quarterbacks that won multiple Super Bowls. Their defenses are
way up in the rankings at least in. One of those two
categories. So
that's that's where people are off base. It's been an all
framed around him from the get-go and that's different
than most of the great quarterbacks of all time.
