Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots IN-GAME thread

[mikemca]

I agree...the one announcer is a idiot.. Earlier he was saying that would have gone for a td on incomplete passes and missed ints from 50+ yards out. Now he expects a guy to stop tackling a guy midair when he crosses out of bounds

[unde0087]

Nice little backdoor cover on live bet KC +8.5 barring something crazy happening

[Coach Potato]

lol chiefs offence so terrible. they need to score quickly to stay in the game and it takes 5 MINS! lol

[The Kraken]

That was a hell of an onside kick

best Ive seen in a while

Ya, they were walking around like they still had another quarter

[unde0087]

Wow, Pats are lucky as penetrate

[LtDarsh]

so lucky

[FlipsideRM]

What an awful bounce. 3rd and long with 2 timeouts left turns into a first down off lucky tip. Wow

Edelman was stopped half a yard short on the first down. Can't believe they didn't even check it, why not? Timeout called and it's the game if it isn't checked.

Well, I can believe they didn't check it: it's the Patriots

[unde0087]

That could have been pick 6 and OT

yup

[Naz18]

30 yards of field position.

Regardless they stopped them from getting a 1st down and forced a turnover. It's better then a 30 yard completion and a 1st down.

True


Bigger problem was though, that Smith with a career high on pass attempts against Brady when your only chance is to run the ball...

[astro61200]

yup

This is, of course, assuming the 1st down line on the field was correct. His ass was down and he was sitting up, half a yard short. Then he laid on his back and went past the 1st. His ass was down before that, so he was down and the ball was behind the 1st down line. Reverse it and maybe the Chiefs get the ball back.

Trug

Yes, they abandoned the run too early. Was working well for them. Mainly using their 4th string RB hurts, but he was still doing well.

Chiefs lost by 7, but a few plays that don't go the Pats way and they could have won by 7.

That's what i thought too, onside kicks have vastly improved the past 10 years.

[pboozer57]

Half yard short? It was a first down all the way.

Would you rather have the ball on your own 20 yard line, or midfield?

[astro61200]

Sure, when he laid down. His ass was down and he was sitting up, holding the ball a half yard short. They gave him the spot when he laid down, that's not how it's supposed to work.

[frostno98]

Bellicheck did some odds things in that 4th quarter. He was still passing up by 14 with only 5 minutes and gave the Chiefs some life at the end. And then that final pass that was nearly picked off. Unnecessary gamble on his part.

[Naz18]

Would you rather have the ball on your own 20 yard line, or midfield?

Ugh your missing the point, why only those two options?

Your excluding the 3rd option which includes KC having the ball on your own 20 yard line.

That's because more and more Kickers have a soccer background.
Never understood this: get any mediocre ex soccer pro on your team and you are golden.. In fact, get any mediocre ex soccer player.

All the DB had to do was knock the ball down.

There was no purpose in catching it.

They were not doing too bad, but even if they were, don't try to hang on with passing game here, why? What was it in the end? 29 of 51 or so?

That's the problem I have with the majority of NFL coaches. They try WAY too hard to make it a balanced offense. Instead of sticking to what's working, they try to even it out. Another game comes to mind this year when the Jags lost to the Saints, they constantly kept trying to run the ball even though the passing game was working well. By the time they realized that passing every down was going win it was too late.
