Are We Destined To Win?

[AJKCFAN]

Ok. Best Math Stat Ever coming up

Royals won the World Series on November 1, 2015

Super Bowl Sunday is exactly 1,554 days later

15 Mahomes
54 Super Bowl LIV

It will also be 222 weeks later

With a Super Bowl win, it will be win #222 of Andy Reid’s career.

On a Super Bowl played on 2/2/20

For KC’s 2nd World Championship (both for the Chiefs and for KC in general starting on that special day)

I just think about all the things that fell into place this season to get us where we are now.

Losing that first game to Tennessee, which ended up being a catalyst for them making the playoffs, and enabling us to sink just far enough in the pecking order to land Suggs. Miami knocking off the Cheatriots, securing us a bye. The Titans taking out the Ratbirds, securing us home field advantage. I'd say either of those last two outcomes happen maybe one time in ten - and for both of them to happen - shit, I'm not mathy, but that's pretty damned long odds. And of course this is all coupled with the team fighting back from a slew of key injuries and getting healthy at just the right now.

Sure seems like fate. I guess two days from now we'll know.

And even with our injuries... Mahomes popping his kneecap gave an excuse to fully rest his ankle. Xavier Williams first injury helped us get to Pennel. Rankin's injury led to us getting Wisnewski. It's just crazy how this season has went. As I've said before... I had this weird sense of calm when we got blown out early vs Houston. With the way the season has gone I just had this feeling the season couldn't possibly end that way.

If KC executes and does the little things every play they’ll win by 10 or more. Da truff.

That's right, Donald J. Trump.

It's actually incredibly spooky when you think about it. The stars have aligned, and I just don't think you could reasonably draw any conclusion besides the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are destined to win this game.

I wasn’t a believer in Pat Mahomes when he drafted him. I wasn’t even convinced until about the sixth game last year. Or whenever it was when we came back on Denver and Mahomes did Mahomes things and we won.

It was at that moment that I realized that the Chiefs were destined to win the Super Bowl, when they drafted Patrick Mahomes. Also it should be noted that “Mahomes” means The One that is destined to win multiple Super Bowls” in my native tongue.

Sing along, people.

Did it really take you that long?

Before the draft- many on here were talking about Mahomes, so I went back and watched all of his college and high school highlights. He played the same in H.S. as he did in college. I was like- my god this kid is a beast. I had never seen a kid throw 60 plus yards as senior in H.S.

I put it out of my mind "because Chiefs" and just hoped the cheating donks would not draft him and kill us the next 20 years.

Then it happened- the best Chiefs trade in history- with the hated Bills no less. I could not believe teams were listening to all the drafturbators and not watching what Mahomes was all about. I knew at that point, we would win a SB with Mahomes. The kid is smart, humble, driven and an amazing leader. I still can't believe he didn't go number 1 in the draft. Stupid Bears-when they traded up- I was sure my dream QB was gone. But no, they made the biggest mistake in their franchise history. We got our guy.

I am your density...

It would be nice to have the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. It would make for an enjoyable Sunday evening and I would ride the wave into next week. The players have worked hard, the fans and the city have cheered hard. Hoping that if the oblong ball bounces funny that it bounces our way.

I put it down mostly to Chiefs TDS. The 2016 season was a nadir for me as a fan. And it leaked into my football fandom overall. So even though I'd been a lifelong fan of OU, that season I didn't watch them play a single game. So I missed seeing Pat against my Sooners go all Mahomes and throw for 734 yards and 6 TDs or whatever.

Then when I heard that we drafted Pat, I didn't know who he was really. So I looked up a couple clips of him on YT and what I saw was colored by my chronic Chiefs TDS. I saw a QB that wouldn't stay in the pocket, had some of the worst footwork I'd ever seen in a QB, and of course all the wild arm angles. I wasn't impressed. I thought, "oh great, a project; it'll be years before this guy figures out how to play in the NFL. If ever."

Then he sat for the 2017 season, and I kind of forgot about Pat.

And even when i watched him dismantle the Chargers and the Steelers to start the 2018 season, I remember thinking, "okay he's got a lot of talent. But I know it takes a lot more than a big arm and some scrambling skills to win in the playoffs. Still a lot for this guy to learn. And how is he going to handle adversity? How is he going to handle the bright lights of a SNG or MNF?"

Then I watched Pat engineer that comeback against DEN late in the fourth quarter, and I knew right then that all my fears were unjustified. And even though we lost to both the Pats and the Rams, I was encouraged by how Pat played in both those games. That he was able to comeback on the biggest stages against top-5 defenses and top-5 offenses and take back the lead and was just a play or two from defeating the two teams that would eventually meet in the Super Bowl.

But I knew for certain when he came back and beat DEN. I told my brother right after he engineered that last drive to win the game, "this kid is going to take us to a Super Bowl."

And here we are.

[InChiefsHeaven]

This team has shown this year that there is not a team in the NFL that we can not beat. In the past, that has not been the case. Of course we can and have lost games, but not many and not by much. Point is, when the shit is on the line, this whole team responds more than any in the history of this franchise...well maybe the first SB win, but I was not alive.

For a half a century, we did not have all the pieces and there were always excuses. There are none of those. This team is a team of destiny. We have the best player the league has ever seen, and a supporting cast that he makes great and they make him great. It's a team ladies and fellas. A team that will not be denied.

We will win tomorrow. It might be a defense that plays out of their minds, it might be a special teams play that blows it open, it might be Mahomes magic with this juggernaut offense...or it might be all of the above.

Destiny. It's ours for the taking.

[BWillie]

Tomorrow it's going to be 69 degrees. The last time we won the Super Bowl is 1969.

God is a Chiefs fan.

I didn't get all the footwork talk. When I went through his college games one by one- there were many perfect passes made and he had No feet on the ground. I had never seen a QB be able to jump in the air with defenders on him while somehow squaring up for an amazing pass.

I don't think the regular accepted QB rules for throwing a football apply to Mahomes. Through basketball and baseball, he has developed his own way. His accuracy shows that it works for him, but always glad to hear he still works on his mechanics and always tries to perfect his footwork (when needed) that is.

Pat breaks all the rules.

But previous to Pat, if a QB threw with sloppy footwork or variable arm angles, you saw inconsistent accuracy. All the really accurate passers with a very few exceptions had good to great footwork. Guys like Randall Cunningham, McNabb, Michael Vick, etc. that had sloppy footwork but great arms could throw accurately for a while, but usually ever game at least once they'd throw one that was no where near his target.

Then the arm angles. Particularly the throw-it-across-your-body angle. I can only think of three QBs in history that could do that consistently and have any kind of accuracy. Matt Stafford, for example, does this a lot, and sometimes it works, but many times the ball drifts away from his receiver or behind the guy. It's not supposed to be an accurate way to throw the ball more than 10 yards. Pat will do it for 30.

And then the "throw-it-across-your-body-and against-the-grain-of-the-defense thing. In the entirety of NFL history, QBs that did that got intercepted.

I don't think Pat's been intercepted yet doing that nonsense.

But there was no way I could know that Mahomes could d violate every rule in the QB mechanics book and still be the most accurate passer in the NFL. I think I get a pass on that one.
