Meanwhile, a good "team" wins, then their players become superstars and then what really brought success was forgotten.
But this team has been winning for a long time and other than Brady there are not and haven't been any real "superstars". That's the odd thing about it.

I don't even dislike NE, but I'm not sure I could mentally cope with them winning 5 Super Bowls since we last won 1

Granted the Pats have outstanding talent in Grok and a HOFer in Brady.

But the rest of the skill position players aren't anything to write home about.

And their offensive line is perhaps the worst of any team left in the playoffs and wasn't even average this season.

Their play-calling is nothing to complicated either... pass, pass, pass, run, pass, pass, run, pass, pass, pass.

The play calling is what it is. The concepts that allow that playcalling

So you honestly think the reason they are successful is because Brady takes two or three steps and throws?

It is a well designed, concepts-based offense that is aggressive on how it places stress on a defense and their plays are structurally designed to be quick to afford the QB that luxury.

The Chiefs OL might be worse. Definitely at pass pro. If the Chiefs were getting the pressure the Pats are, they would be winning. Or if Smith had as much time.

Part of the reason they are successful are the quick passes.

And I do agree the offense is well designed.

This Chiefs defense is giving these players far too much cushion. You can't do this against the Pats.

Big difference between the KC play calling and NE's. Smith is trying to hold the ball much longer. With Brady it's, hike the ball, a couple steps and release. Very difficult to put much pressure on the guy.

Smith is usually under pressure before Brady would have gotten rid of it.

That was a huge miss by Peters.
