Chiefs win:
Shanahan is the biggest choke artist in history!
Purdy is a fraud!
Rigged for Taylor Swift!
Mahomes will overtake Brady EASILY!

49ers win:
Mahomes is overrated!
The AFC is soft!
Shanahan is the best coach in the league and it's not even close!
High-paid QBs can't win anymore! You need QBs on rookie deals!

I think the only things really open for a huge swing in opinion are Shanahan and Purdy. You'll get some Twitter commentary about the NFL being rigged or Mahomes being overrated if KC wins/loses respectively, but I don't think anyone respectable will push either of those opinions. Maybe you get some stray people saying Mahomes is the GOAT or Reid is better than Belichick, but you're already getting a little bit of that now anyway, and it isn't like the greatness of either is in question anyway, more just quibbling about the exact placement of their greatness.

But opinions are still being solidified around Purdy, and people remain divided, so either way, many will use this game as evidence that they were right all along. Even if Purdy wins by playing poorly or loses while playing well, the game result will fuel that debate heavily. Already, Purdy supporters saw the ball bounce off that DBs facemask and said look at him taking shots and making plays, while detractors point at it and say how lucky he is. And as is almost always the case, the reality is somewhere in the middle of it all.

For Shanahan I don't think there's a reactionary take to be had in the positive direction. Most already see him as one of the best HCs in football. But if they lose you will 100% get the choke artist, does SF need to move on, dialogue. Will be very similar to pre-Mahomes Reid, honestly.

I honestly don't know if that would be such a ridiculous hot take.

Yeah it's certainly got a good argument. Unforunately I think all the good hot takes have been said already.

If Purdy wins, he will be anointed the best QB in the league, even if he only makes around 5 total good plays just like he did last night.

That will never happen lol
