The current GOAT v the potential GOAT in the final.

Cant see the Bucs getting within a TD of them

Same as that but in saying that it would be typical Brady to win it by beating Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes in consecutive games. Two Hall of famers and in all likelihood Mahomes will be right up there with them! The Bucs defense will keep them in it and Brady will keep ticking over so you never know. I think KCs experience from last year will get them over the line.

Wonder what Belicheck and Kraft are thinking at the minute.........

I see the Chiefs winning it as well but the Bucs will be in their home stadium. I see it being a close game and I am looking forward to it.

Major f@@k up by packers taking the field goal in the 4th when 8 down.

I've tried looking at that from a positive and can't find it. Bad enough in normal games, but with Brady on the ball it was suicide.

As it was happening I think I agreed with taking the field goal but in hindsight it was a poor call.  I agree with screen too that Rodgers should have ran the ball on 3rd down. No, I doubt he was going to get the TD but he would have been very close.  The 4th down attempt at a TD would probably have been a certainty at that stage.  Was it a lack of bottle by Rodgers? You know that Mahomes would have went for that...

Not having Jones at that stage of the game really hurt the Packers IMO.

Will home stadium matter that much? I presume not a whole lot of fans will be allowed in.

Hard to see past the Chiefs they're just too good in all areas.

22k fans. 7.5k of which are to vaccinated health care workers I believe.

Watson is going to be the off season saga this year then.  Do the Texans hold out and fine him each week he doesn't turn up?  If he leaves, where does he go?  The Jets seems to be the touted destination, with Darnold then moving on elsewhere too.  Could be a lot of QB moves ahead.

The Texans will have a lot of work to do in order to hold onto not only Watson but also JJ

JJ's not worth his price tag to them now, sound be surprised if they want to keep him.

Texans hold a lot of leverage here though. While he has a trade clause, the Texans can just say Nah.

Trading Deshaun Watson

#Texans Dead Cap:
Pre 6/1: $21.6M
Post 6/1: $5.4M/$16.2M

Traded Contract:
5 yrs, $146.5M
$82.5M GTD
Caps: 10.54/35/37/32/32

With a $10.54M salary in 2021, Deshaun Watson would stand to lose $620,000 per game missed.

They can fine him almost $100,000 if he misses minicamp.

They can fine him $50,000 per training camp day missed.

They can fine him $620,000 per preseason game missed.

Mike Pettine gone as DC in Green Bay, the coverage on the TB touchdown at end of first half was reason enough.

I'm not sure Watson goes anywhere, the teams hold the power in situations like this.

I don't think Packers decision to kick FG was that outlandish, they were playing to win in regulation. If they scored a TD, Bucs had 2 mins to get a FG

Goff to Lions (and a kings ransom of picks) and Stafford to Rams

2 first round draft picks as well in the deal. The Lions won that trade.

They got Goff though. So it's a Pyrrhic victory at best

Yeah it was so expensive for the Rams because of Goffs contract
