Chiefs lose their center and a WR for game, due to COVID

https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2021/2/1/22261079/report-demarcus-robinson-daniel-kilgore-placed-on-reserve-covid-19-list

This means that the Chiefs will be losing their  two starting tackles, Schartz and Fisher,    and their center for the SB.

I guess it is next man up for them on that OL. . 

Wouldn't surprise me if it affects the odds. 

Key phrase will affect the final odds:

"As Schefter notes, Robinson and Kilgore have been added to the list since they were in close contact with an infected individual. Both will now be isolated from the team. So long as they test negatively over the next six days leading into the game, it is possible both can still participate in Super Bowl LV. "

Sid Luckman  1940-41

Otto Graham  1946/47/48/49/50  and  1954-55

Tommy Thompson  1948-49

Bobby Layne  1952-53

George Blanda   1960-61

Bart Starr  1961-62  and  1965/66/67

Jack Kemp  1965-65

Bob Griese  1972-73

Terry Bradshaw  1974-75  and 1978-79

Joe Montana  1988-89

Troy Aikman  1992-93

John Elway  1997-98

Tom Brady  2003-04

He must, of course, now beat Brady to join this group

##  Arnie Herber led the Green Bay Packers to back to back championships in 1929-30...but no  Title game was played in those years.  In the 1922/23/24 Canton/Cleveland Bulldogs no player specifically identified as a "quarterback".  

Highlighted:  eligible players for HOF, but not elected thereto.

also i do not understand why weed is not legal I do remember it got shot down on the last election which was a good thing because it was going to be run (i believe by the state) and not by individuals so you could never have price wars  like we do here 

Because we are a backward red state at this point.  It may even have to do with why we don't have sports gambling.   There are still many  troglodytes in the legislature and among the populace over both issues.

Again,  begs the question:  When will Ohio start up its sports gambling operations.   Every state around us I believe already has it going.  The holdup has been a turf war between the Ohio Lottery commission and the Gaming Commission.   It has been dragging on now for like a year and a half.   I understand that the Governor has been busy lately....but I think he could take  5 minutes and issue a directive:    X or Y  will be the body to oversea things.  Period.   Why is it not that simple?  I see your state came down on the side of the Lottery.   Here, I would think that the Gaming Commission would be the proper venue.  They after all, oversee casino operations.

2021

i still see 10-11 wins there

Brady vs Warner and Montana vs horsetooth are better. If only because Mahomes isn’t old enough yet

Of course, it is a matter of looking back at the games historically.   At the time I don't know if  Elway's reputation was nearly what Mahome's reputation is now, but in looking back we can say, yes, that was a matchup of two of the greatest ever.   Same may apply to Marino.  Correct me if I am wrong, but the  Montana/Marino matchup only happened in Marino's second year in the league.   So clearly...at the time, he was not considered one of the greatest ever. Potentially, yes...given he like 48 TDs that year, a record by far a the time.   He is now though considered one of the best ever. Fair to say?

And when we get to a point where this game, Brady vs. Mahomes, is viewed in historical context, it may get to be considered the premier matchup.

A few of my own:

1.  Should they get rid of the whole  Roman Numeral use for these things?  I think so.

2. Eric Fisher, Chief  LT ....once upon a time the #1 overall pick of the draft,  is out with an Achilles Heel tear.    Also out is the Chiefs RT, our old friend The Schwartz.  Been out with a back injury most of the season. 

Much more later.
