So, umm...yeah, it seems like the assumptions regarding needing a Mahomes/Wilson/Watson mobile QB to remain competitive are a bit overhyped.

Maybe, just maybe, having the best overall team is better than trying to trade the farm instead of fixing problems?

Discuss.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I've been assured, on this very site, that a mobile QB solves that problem!  B)

They'd need a trade partner willing to part with half a billion $$ over the next decade or so...and yes, I know you're joking.

Now that's what a defense is supposed to look like. And TB does not have a defensive guru.
I am really impressed with the TB defense.

Good grief. Regarding the last drive... what does Mahomes need to do for the receivers to catch the ball?

Tampa Bay's defense is legit. Mahomes is running for his life and he is not 100%.

Are you saying Kansas City or Kirk Cousins in that decimated oline reference

Todd Bowles definitely is a defensive guru

...aaaand, that's a wrap.  Amazing what an offense can do when the QB has a few precious seconds to make reads/decisions.

No kidding. Add that to near flawless decision making and you get top notch performance

Like Denver's defense did for Peyton Manning but the narrative is not going to be written that way for this game.

Funny, I had a different takeaway watching this game.

Why the $():& didn’t we try to sign Tom Brady last year?!

“Hey the goat QB is a free agent; do we want him? Nah” -__-

Not only did Brady play great all year, he pretty much single handedly brought in Gronk, AB, and Fournette. THEY SCORED ALL 4 TDS TODAY. 

Tampa defense was awesome. Their OL was awesome. But wow. Tom and his pals just brought a championship to TB. Teams like LAR, SF, MIN should be kicking themselves for not making a strong push for him last year. Hindsight is 20/20 but last offseason this was not some leap of faith on a rookie QB. It’s Tom Brady! We really should have been going after him.

Oh well. Congrats to Tampa. Chiefs will probably be back too. Kudos.

Love the take. However, you can take MN off the list. Zim would have wanted Tom to change and play his version of offense.

About a dozen narratives came crashing down in this game. OK, so I guess Tampa's "this year's model." 

Play good defense and run the ball more than you pass. Don't blitz and play cover-two shell. Oh, and make sure everyone's healthy.

OK, sure, but Brady didn't win that game. He threw for 200 yards. He played the kind of game that Cousins is more than capable of playing.
