Granted it?s not New England but don?t be surprised if Pat Mahomes has special incentive today against Tom Brady. Remember it was Brady?s Patriots that beat the Chiefs in the 2018 AFC Championship game in overtime when that stupid NFL rule applied in which the team that wins the coin flip has the opportunity to win the game by scoring a touchdown and thereby eliminating the opponent a possession. I swear on paper the Chiefs could win this game by 30-points or more. Tampa is a mess in my opinion and I live about 35 minutes from the stadium. The problem is Tom Brady is more concerned about his legacy and health than winning football games. If you watch Brady now he wants to get rid of the ball as quick as possible. Throwing deep really isn?t an option anymore because he doesn?t allow the time in the pocket for his receivers to get downfield and get open or complete the route. The last two years in New England took it?s toll with his confidence in offensive linemen. He has no confidence in them then or in Tampa now with those units protecting him. He and Coach Arians are battling weekly because Brady wants to dink and dunk but the Bucs? wide receivers are more built on throwing downfield and that?s especially the case for Mike Evans. Godwin could develop that way but it will take time because Jameis Winston really fit the Arians mold. Remember he was there with Big Ben in the early days and Carson Palmer in Arizona when it was all 20-yard or more passing attempts. Brady wants to incorporate the smurf-type of receiving core and it?s just not there in Tampa. This is what makes Mahomes so special. He?s patient enough and elusive enough in the pocket waiting for Hill to get open downfield but he?s also willing to take the short passes now. I just don?t see any team beating the Chiefs the rest of the way. Vegas is trying to emulate what KC is doing but they don?t have the defense right now, although they are getting close. Vegas is effective because they have some sensational running backs and Carr hangs in the pocket. Brady at 43 isn?t about to do that and the Bucs just won?t make the commitment to the running game. Remember the recent game when they set an all-time record with just five rushing attempts. If Jared Goff can complete 39-of-51 for 376 yards against Tampa what is Mahomes capable of? The Tampa defense is a little strange. They are highly ranked in a number of categories but it sure does seem like they give up a ton of points and yards and especially against the elite of this league. They certainly miss defensive tackle Vita Vea and now corner Jamel Dean is out. Plus the offensive line is starting to take some hits. A.Q. Shipley is out with a neck injury and tackle Donvan Smith and guard Ali Marpet are both questionable today. KC has failed to cover their last two games laying -10 1/2 and -7 1/2. Do you really believe this team is going three straight weeks without a cover? KC has scored 33 or more points in four straight games. I just don?t believe Tampa can match them with the way Brady is playing right now and he and Coach Arians are not on the same page. Sammy Watkins back in the KC lineup today.
