[@theblinkerx]

In back to back, had to have it drives, Mahomes walked down a top 5 defense twice and got it done. Weve never seen a QB play as consistently great as this guy has. The only argument left is the Resume arguments, but at this time in their careers, nobody can touch Mahomes

Im kinda sad to not hear more mentions of Harrison Butker, the guy is sooo damn instrumental to Mahomes legacy. He established a SB record with mutliple 55+ yards field goals yesterday, it was huge ! He scored the tying kick against the Bills in 2022 in the most epic playoff game of all time, I mean the guy is writinhg his name in the history books, gotta show some more respect to him !

[@dominicpancella3012]

As much as I love and respect Butker, I have to set the record straight here: he only hit one 50+ yard field goal in the Super Bowl, but it was from record distance. (It might've also been the kick that put him in sole possession of first place on the all-time postseason 50-yard kick leaderboard, but I'm not sure about that.)

[@JohnClarkW]

Andy is averaging 12 wins per regular season over the last 6 years, and is currently at 258, while Belichick is at 302, so Andy only needs 44 games to catch him. It seems likely he could pass Bill up in 4 years. Bill is 3rd, only 16 behind Halas, and 26 behind Shula. Also Andy is only 5 playoff wins behind, but that is only 2 more years at their current rate. If Reid stays for 4 more years, the only question will be how many Super Bowl rings.

[@Johnny82Utah]

Down by 10 three times in SBs and came back 3x to win. Shame he was not 100% in tampa but i think he's on the rushmore. I've studied them all Brady, unitas, staubach, starr, montana, manning, elway a aron etc. He's def rushmore to me.

[@dominicpancella3012]

I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the number 41. It's the number of touchdown passes Mahomes has thrown in his playoff career; it's the channel (KSHB) that's the home of the Chiefs in Kansas City; and it's the number of points Harrison Butker scored in this postseason, which ranks 5th all time. Butker is one of three kickers to score 40+ points across a single postseason (2006 Adam Vinatieri and 2021 Evan McPherson), one of two to do it with no missed or blocked kicks (McPherson), and the only one ever to attempt at least 11 field goals and at least 8 extra points and nail every single one. Finally, 41 was the number of total points scored in this Super Bowl before Mecole Hardman's catch ended it.

It's abundantly clear the Chiefs are at least as good as the Pats were, if not better. Why is it so hard to admit that they are one of the best teams of all time? Instead you denigrate them by saying they might not have been the best team on the field. You need to hang it up and find something you're actually good at.
