Summary

A whole lot of narratives got turned sideways on Super Bowl Sunday, as the Bucs outclassed the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.

Conor and Gary, being the pessimists they are, start with what went wrong. Andy Reid had two weeks to prepare and knew he'd be doing so without his starting tackles. Yet, K.C. did nothing to help their O-line out against a dominant Bucs pass rush, leaving Patrick Mahomes to get absolutely battered.

Give a ton of credit to Todd Bowles, who had a formula that worked. Tampa's front four took over the game, and the back end more than held its own against K.C.'s game-breaking receiving options.

We also look ahead to the offseasons for both teams. The Bucs have to make decisions on a number of free agents, most notably Chris Godwin and Shaq Barrett. Barrett is in line to set the market for pass rushers, while Godwin could end up the odd man out among Tampa's receivers.

As for the Chiefs, how worried should they be about an ugly performance in Super Bowl LV?

Plus, Michael Fabiano stops by to talk 2021 outlook for Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Leonard Fournette and more.

0:00.0	Hello and
0:05.0	welcome to the MMQB Monday morning NFL podcast. I'm your host Gary Gremlin. I'm joined by Connor
0:10.0	Orr and Connor we are still basking in the I don't know the the festivious nature of
0:17.0	Super Bowl 55 that kind of was not very interesting it was kind of a blowout.
0:24.0	It was a bad Super Bowl. Like it kind of sucked and it sucked because you know and I'm sure we'll get
0:29.9	into it a little bit later on but like there was one thing very wrong about the chiefs that they couldn't stop and you know we just sat there the whole game being like well when are they gonna try to do something else about this problem and they never did and then the
0:45.2	Buccaneers just scored 31 points and it was over.
0:48.4	They're waiting for game two of the best of seven.
0:50.9	I was like, yeah, like what, what, now's the time to empty the coffers here, so let's go, but
0:57.4	apparently Andy Reed wanted to save some stuff for 2021.
1:01.3	It was wild, we'll get into it. And I'll just say at the top of the show, I have no interest in really criticizing Andy Reed, who has obviously been one of the greatest NFL coaches at all time. This was a head scracher though and it really was.
1:13.2	Were they looking for the split in Tampa and then you get back to Kansas City for
1:16.2	games three through five and then the whole series could swing.
1:19.2	But it was a strange night where a lot of things we just kind of took for granted and assumed going into this one
1:27.1	They just didn't really work out, but one thing you and I did talk about last week when we preview this game was Todd Bowles and what Todd Bowles would do.
1:36.4	And I always give the caveat, it's difficult to see exactly what was happening on the back
1:41.1	end of the defense when you're watching the broadcast
1:43.8	angle you have to see the all 22 to see what was what was really happening back
1:46.8	there but it looked like for the most part it was a lot of too deep safety and he was kind of like I bet our
1:55.4	passengers can dominate and it did. Yeah I mean after the game I was doing some of the
2:01.5	post game interviews and I think it was
2:05.2	I think it was Shaq Barrett who said you know this was four man pressure I mean it's not like we were doing
