Also suggesting that a guy is in the GOAT conversation while also explaining away how a loss as acceptable is incongruent. If he’s the GOAT, he wins this game. He beats the DVOA darlings with the MVP in their house. If he doesn’t win that game, it matters. As a non-Chiefs fan, I’ll tell you right now that I won’t think of him the way people here want me to. Because people here aren’t saying he’s very good—they’re saying he is the greatest to ever do it. Then prove it no matter the circumstances.
If you construct a mid roster and the baby goat loses, you’re not who people on this board are telling me you are. You don’t have the Pats’ cache, not even close. You might think you’re “on track,” but you’re not there just as much as no one here will give credit to Lamar/the Ravens for being “on track” for a Super Bowl when it’s all said and done. You have to actually do it in games like this. Defend your title.
Spinning this narrative that this game is a win/win for the Chiefs should be beneath you if you think these guys are who you say they are.

You have said yourself it’s a team game. Mahomes cannot control the mistakes of his teammates, like Mecole Hardman fumbling away 7 points last week. How many people hold a negative view of Tom Brady for failing to make the Playoffs in 2002 right after winning a championship? He also failed to win a ring in 15 of 22 seasons while losing to the likes of Ryan Tannehill and Nick Foles.
Chiefs looked dead in the water on Christmas Day. As a guy with more pessimistic views, I was actually somewhat concerned they would lose their final 2 games and miss the Playoffs entirely. I think it’s pretty amazing the Chiefs got their act together enough to make it to the Conference title game. The Ravens are a great TEAM and should win the game.
