I cannot imagine a less interesting outcome to the '24 season than a Chiefs-Eagles championship game.
TBH, I'll probably skip the game itself. I don't think I could make it through a game that I cared less about and which was hyped up to that extent. It would be surreal, LOL.
While that feels like an over-reaction...who cares about the outcome of this game--seriously? Whether it's more glory being heaped on KC or another championship for Philly following their SB victory in Feb 2018, how can anyone find this game interesting?
For those with a short memory, we literally watched this same Super Bowl match-up on February 12, 2023...which KC won 38-35. We already know how good both teams are but they've also had a lot of recent success. Thus, neither team creates a storyline of any significance.
It's weird that the NFL, successful as it is, is still capable of generating such meaningless football in what is supposed to be the most important game of the year. Despite these being great teams and the season being highly competitive, this match-up is basically meaningless for almost all of America. Detroit would've been America's sweetheart. The Bills would've been going for their 1st ever championship title. The Commanders would've been the Cinderella story. The Vikings would've been something new and different. Heck, this would've been the first SB-appearance for the Ravens following their 2012 win which was still the era of Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and Joe Flacco.
While most anyone would root for their team to look something like the Chiefs or Eagles, it's hard to find reason to watch these teams compete. There's nothing endearing about two rich kids arguing over who is going to get the bigger birthday present from daddy.
No offense but man, what a disappointment.
At least we can feel a little more connected to our AFC rivals considering the disappointment spreads to basically everyone who isn't the Chiefs. The Bills and Ravens suffered Playoff heartbreak. The Dolphins and Bengals both fought through down years and were pretty much dead in the water. The Chargers Playoff appearance went about as poorly as any Justin Herbert apologist could've imagined. The Steelers and Texans are good but still well behind being truly competitive with the elites.
I think we're all waiting for the Chiefs loaded defense to regress, for Kelce to retire and for some defender to finally take Mahomes' head off in the kind of way that might justify years of unwarranted flags. What....just me?
Anyway, curious how many of you are feeling this way. I just find it odd that I want Miami to compete so much and yet here I am, completely apathetic to the SB. How can you care and not care so much, LOL?
