Championship Weekend: Chiefs @ Ravens, Lions @ 49ers

I'm pretty sure back in the day, people thought the 70s Dolphins were a dynasty. (Lost SB VI, won VII and VIII.)
One thing about the Lions, I feel pretty confident they wouldn't outsmart themselves like Monken did, they'd just line up behind that big O-line and pound the ball.
I just keep replaying that 3rd and 1 play when Lamar danced around for 10 seconds trying to throw the ball instead of taking the easy 1st down ultimately taking a sack. They picked up the first on the next play but that kind of decision making can’t happen in a game like this. Get a new set of downs and keep moving forward. He got up and kept motioning at the receiver. Frustrating to see and I’m not a Ravens fan.
Without Deebo this year, Purdy still has the highest EPA per play in the NFL. With Deebo, he is WAY higher than anyone in the NFL.
Purdy had one of the best seasons as a QB in history.
Plus, Deebo has no restrictions right now and Goff on the road is Mac Jones. At home, he's Tom Brady. Goff is on the road today.
It's sort of like alchemy. Maybe it will be impossible to pull off, but it will be a goldmine to whoever eventually figures it out.
So by your completely arbitrary rules for a “Dynasty”, you’re 100% correct. Congrats, I guess.
EDIT: I mean, I guess if you’re being pedantic, you’re right.
It’s Disney too.
Spoiler: the first week will have OK ratings. Then the ratings will fall off a cliff. Then there will be reports about how the financials don’t work and the league is on shaky footing. Then it’ll fold.
Compared to the Lions, the SF pass rush has a much better chance of battering Mahomes. I'd favor the Chiefs over either opponent too, though.
Well they were down like 7 points most of the game. No way they had time to run the ball.
All the pressure is on the 49ers though and Goff has actually won an NfCCG before
Yeah, yesterday was the first Saturday since mid August without any football.
It's a tough feeling.
