in no way KC wins the amount of games this season if they didn't have that defense and help from the Refs.
I already made my point with Goff. I'm showing you that yes they had a very good defense, it wasn't as amazing as everything thinks. They weren't even the best D this yr.
Last I checked Mahomes is playing for a Super Bowl and Goff totally FUBAR his last playoff game. He does what he always does folds like a lawn chair under pressure. Dude played in two games outside of a dome this yr lol. Do folks realize how ridiculous that is?
yes. qbs function with what is around them. when they needed mahomes to throw 50 tds, he did that. when they need him to take the checkdowns, avoid the turnovers, and win 20-7 games, he did that. a good d means mahomes isn't chasing the game, he can spend an entire 2nd half handing off, then ppl who don't watch say gee he didn't score a lot of fantasy points, he must suck, or is having a 'down' year. down year and they are 15-2 and handled their playoff games, get real folks. some down year 
This may come as a surprise to you but this is a team sport. You have no problem looking at the results when virtually across the board the 49ers were worse this year than last year, including coaching. Your take is Purdy regressed and isn't worth extending.
Mahomes has terrific coaching and continuity around him. They're missing 1 key piece of their team due to injury heading into this game(not surprisingly can be said for the Eagles too and I'm not sure Nakobe Dean is really that key of a piece for them)
His defense may not be elite elite this year but Spags is still running the show and they're still very good. Their special teams are terrific too.
Mahomes IS having a down year for his own standards. It certainly doesn't mean the guy sucks now considering while his numbers are down overall he set career best in terms of game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks. He and that whole team have ice in their veins, it's very commendable and we need that type of juice here.
But as others have said you don't get those opportunities if your defense can't keep the game close, if your special teams doesn't help.
Perfect example is the Denver win. Mahomes got credited with both the 4th quarter comeback and Game Winning drive.
Do we recall how that game ended? Leo Chenal blocking a 35 yard FG attempt that would've won the game for Denver.
This is a point you and some others want to ignore. Most of us understand how great Mahomes is...but we saw that he was not playing great football when he was missing guys. It's not shocking in the least bit that he's been playing his best football since they added Hopkins via trade and Hollywood Brown got healthy.
Meanwhile Brock has almost no consistency at his skill positions, OL having issues, defense can't hold leads, special teams can't stop hurting us. Coaching not making things easy until we're completely decimated by injury...and here we are thinking oh this season is very telling of what Brock is, let's forget the other 1.5 years we saw when the team wasn't a disaster around him.
