3 basics: protect your QB, have a killer defense, quit obsessing on drafting another Mahomes.

Defense wins Championships.  That's been true since the very first SB.  Also, custy old coaches still know a thing or two about SBs too.

of course it helps when your opposition is starting an OL that should be on the bench,  and the refs are going to make sure you get the help you need when you need it.

doesnt hurt to have a GOAT @ QB either...

KC OL was decimated. This one was pretty much over before it started. 

Bucs D is talented and athletic. God bless TB for booting the Packers out this post-season too, they certainly earned their title. 

I'm filled with envy...09 Vikings were supposed to be the pre-cursor to the 2020 Bucs.

How about Clock Management? 

When your offense isnt doing shit, but you are only down by 8 points, and under a minute on the clock before half... dont get cocky and give more time to the GOAT....

I cant believe Reid isnt getting roasted over those time outs before half time....  that is one of the dumber clock management decisions I have seen this year... and I watch all of the Vikings games so that is really saying something.

No kidding! Your offense is unproductive, your opponent is moving on you pretty well, and you need to get to halftime and make adjustments ASAP (not that Reid and Bienemy did). Why would you prolong that first half while Tampa was moving the ball on you?

The announcers were actually applauding KC - until Tampa got a first down. It's like everyone has just inhaled so much hype about the unstoppable Pat Mahomes and the KC offense that they ignored what was happening and forgot basic situational football, and Reid was believing his own press clippings.

A wise owl would say magic Mahomes came up short when tb had 2 weeks to prepare for him.  WAY short.

Mahomes has two TDs passes that went right through his WRs hands and hit them in the helmet.  Kelce dropped a long pass that was right in his hands that crushed a drive and ending up leading to a short punt and a Tampa TD.  He had countless other passes dropped.  If just those 3 passes had not been dropped, we would be talking about how the most important thing was to have a mobile QB and that you could win with an average OL.  We did not have a good OL the year we went to championship game yet Keenum's ability to scramble hid a lot of their deficiencies.  The one QB in the game has a super quick release and the other can run, our QB cannot do either.  You can put a wall around him and we are still not going to win.

Hmmm. Aren't you the guy that said Bridgewater is a winner? He's worse than Cousins, of that there is zero doubt. 

Sitting here comparing a guy like Mahomes, a generational talent and winner, and the GOAT who has 10 Super Bowl appearances and 6 wins to Cousins can be said for the other 30 NFL teams to some degree or another as well. Aaron Rodgers is one of the biggest underachievers in recent memory as far as Superbowl wins or even appearances.
