My Thoughts about Super Bowls 2020 & 2021

The 2020 Super Bowl was a good one, not like last year when the teams had don’t-score-in-the-biggest-game-of-the-season syndrome, oh, what a horrible disease, affects all sports fans. Well, now the star of the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, has a shining Super Bowl resume: an MVP, a trip to Disney World, 76 touchdowns in two full seasons and 9,128 passing yards in two full seasons. As for the Super Bowl MVP, he shouldn’t have won that honor. In three quarters, he wasn’t doing well at all, but, he was scrambling, he finished with 29 yards and one touchdown. Then, in the fourth quarter he wakes up and leads his team to a 10-point comeback, which, don’t get me wrong, is phenomenal, amazing. Damien Williams had 104 yards rushing, one touchdown on the ground, 29 yards receiving and one touchdown receiving. Including a very acrobatic touchdown that had to be reviewed but it stood for a touchdown. Jimmy Garapollo was actually very bad, he was doing so badly that he tried to impersonate his opponent, Mahomes, by throwing an eyes closed pass, which ended up as one of his two INTs.

Raheem Mostert didn’t even have a good game, even though I said he would have to take charge, Garapollo actually took charge with his eyes closed, (literally and because they lost). They did a lot of handoffs to the wide receivers and a lot of potential flee flickers, Kyle Shanahan obviously thought his would work. I’m saying that John Lynch, one of the smartest men in football, could definitely put this team into contention for another Super Bowl.

Just watching the game you could see how much Nick Bosa made a difference. He was beating his defender all night, Mahomes got his throws off very, very fast. He only got 1 sack though and I don’t know why Andy Reid didn’t put Damien in as a blocker for most of the game (then Mahomes would’ve won MVP without any words out of my mouth about that) or locking Nick up in a double team all game, which would’ve been better. The Niners D also got Mahomes to throw two picks, one of which were his fault, the ball bounced off of his receiver’s hands the second.

The Chiefs weren’t giving Jimmy G anything all game long, but he threw 31 and completed 20. The 49ers O line was amazing; they were doubling Chris Jones a lot, which is very smart on the inexperienced coach’s side. They only allowed 1 sack, but Jimmy threw two picks, one of them, he thought closing his eyes would be successful, but proved not to be. When the 49ers were trying to mount a bit of a game-winning drive with about a minute game, Kendall Fuller mosses (or aggressively catches over) poor Deebo Samuel to lock up Andy Reid’s first Super Bowl.

Way, Way too Early Super Bowl LV Prediction:

Saints – Chiefs: Saints 38-35
