What we should learn from this game

[PAPPYDOG]

Forget Brady, Arians & Todd Bowles.
The thing to realize is the franchise with the worst winning % in league history has two SB wins since the Cowboys have even made a championship game.
Our fans cry about tanking, rebuilding, getting worst to get better. I would take 20 years of Tampa vs the 20 years of the Dallas Cowboys.

Bucs got themselves a QB and boom Superbowl.
We have Dak and we all know what to expect.......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

OL is important
DL and MLB are important
FA is important

only morons think that sitting out FA is a winning strategy

But you are aware that teams do this every offseason and fail right lol?

 

[InTheZone]

I’m responding to check if there’s something wrong with my account

can anyone see this?

no, we need real linebackers and defensive tackles.

 

[Flamma]

So many narratives busted tonight

QB % of salary cap
Can't pay a QB who struggles when OTs are out
"The biggest stage" small sample size BS

Tom Brady takes up 13% of the cap. That's not bad for any quarterback, let alone Tom Brady. I don't even know what you mean with the others, but this one wasn't busted.

 

[TwoDeep3]

No pass rush, no pass defense. I have said this for years.

You're welcome.

 

[DoctorChicken]

No.

shoot

 

[ChuckA1]

Having very good backup OT's is very important.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

A pure pocket passing QB and a big and physical defense makes a world of difference.

We have neither of those two things. Davis Mills should be our fifth round pick. I like Dak but I don't want a Superbowl. I want a dynasty, again.

 

[dmaschuck]

We learned it's great to have the script go your way

Defensive fronts win Super Bowls .. Jerry wants shiny stars like zeke and T.O and Dak etc . This is why the cowboys are at the same playoff win percentage as Detroit , and this is why Dak at 35 + mil is pure suicide for this team . Heck , Brady would have cost only 26 and would have taken this team much further .

 

[Buzzbait]

BINGO!!! That was the difference in the game if we are being honest. Mahomes had ZERO time to throw and honestly he looked hurt.

He was running for his life all night. His OL just didn't hold up.
Plus the Refs were on the GOAT'S side.

 

[MaineBoy]

We learned that some organizations have front offices that know how to draft and sign free agents to build teams that become champions. We don’t.

 

[Hawkeye19]

TB won with a simple, well executed defensive formula: generate pressure with 4, play fundamentally sound football, make opportunistic turnovers, and GANG TACKLE sideline to sideline.

Yah. We have a long way to go lol

Yeah those slow developing plays......just had zero time. Reid never adapted which shocked me. Too much for the Chiefs to overcome but they'll be back IMO.

 

[DFWJC]

FA definitely played a role
Obviously,Brady chose TB
He had everything to do with TB getting AB and Gronk....not the TB front office

Wirfs was a draft steal
Winfield was a nice pick too

Brady playing for 25 mil instead of 40 was nice too.

 

[Jkw634]

Why we already knew. The highest paid qb does not win the super bowl. Chiefs pay mahomes and the depth suffers. Seems to be the o line that suffered. 1 injury messed up 3-4 spots on the o line. Brady takes 25 million a year leaving money left over and has never taken the full amount for the qb position and has 7 titles to show for it.

But you are aware that teams do this every offseason and fail right lol?

but you are aware that we have done it our way for 25 years and failed? Right LOL

but you are aware that teams do it this way every year and succeed? Right LOL

He was running for his life. But on more than one occasion he bailed out way too soon. That's the first time I've seen him look that bad. Imagine if Mahomes had to play against some of the defenses of the past? He'd wet himself.

Lots to learn:

• TEAMS win. Not individual players. You have to have talent of course. But it takes organizational competence and commitment from top to bottom to develop a TEAM that can win a championship.
• Culture matters. I heard it said at least 5 times tonight during the game- Tom Brady changed the culture. He brought some accountability.
• FOOTBALL IS A GAME OF FUNDAMENTALS. Good Tackling still matters- it’s a completely underrated fundamental- both teams were excellent tacklers. If you keep a 5 yard pass a 5 yard pass you can compete defensively. Good Blocking is also a fundamental. And not just OL. Receivers, RBs and TEs must be good blockers too. If you can tackle and block effectively, you can compete.

Mahomes ain't close to Aikman. Trust
