But Brady was less than good for entire post seasons...... Manning wasn't great in either of his SB's.................. Ben was clutch in moments but overall his playoff numbers aren't eye popping...... Eli made the playoffs like 5 times in 15 years and has 2 rings due to a few ridiculous throws and some luck.
These things rarely play out like anyone expects......... but it is for sure that it'll take a team effort and gelling at the right time to win this SB for whoever does. Between the Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, 49ers, Eagles..... there are a LOT of great teams this particular year.
But I stand by the comment, a coach who generally hasn't won the biggest games given a lot of opportunities...... it doesn't help to have added pressure of always being the favorite because you have Mahomes. I truly do think there is a TON of pressure on them to win. If they can play loose through it and find a way then great on them... but it's hard to play with that target all the time.

I agree that most Chiefs fans I know (STH for 10 plus years).. Andy Reid is our biggest concern... Andy can make some bizarre decisions considering who his QB is and doesn't seem to value position like some of these younger coaches (Zak Taylor) seem to be able to do. Elite play designer and usually game planner but just average in game management. Hoping he is on his game this postseason.
