    Don't get me wrong, I would have challenged the play based on what I saw - but I had the benefit of the replays. If the Bills truly didn't have access to a replay in time, some in here are arguing that McDermott should have just challenged due to the context of the play or the body language of the Patriots, because the only risk was the loss of a first half time out. I am simply pointing out that the risk was much larger than just a first half time out.


    I mean your option there was do it or don’t without perfect info. 
     

    ultimately would you risk a challenge to possibly create a turnover out of a diving catch from a so-so receiver where his own team isn’t confident. 
     

    I understand the risk and think you have to do it

    We do have a guy - a former ref as a matter of fact.  And he didn't scream in Sean's ear.  Apparently, it wasn't obvious to him either.  If I was Sean, I'd trust the ex-ref too.   


    he may never get an actual look at it in a hurry up. 
     

    At some point this is the math of the risk vs reward and not an evaluation of whether you know the ball moved for sure

     

    very low risk, and the reward is a game changing play

    It's not just the time out that is lost. Teams only have two challenges for the entire game. So the risk is playing almost the entire game with one challenge. 


    to create a turnover? So much already gets a look. If not throwing it then, there’s only so many places you will.

    Yea in that situation your loss is a first half time out (minimal) your win is a stop on the first drive (potentially significant). Once you see they are sprinting to the line you play the "they are not sure" percentages and throw it. Second half that happens in a close ball game I don't want you guessing. The time out matters more. But when it was? Yea you gotta throw the flag. 


    Plus it was third down. So stopping a drive. If first down and they have two more shots, maybe not that valuable. A 30 yarder on 3rd and long is essentially creating a turnover.
     

    can really set a tone.

    yeah the :06 second thing was some serious home-cookin'


    kind of? It seemed the refs had accurate time and fixed the stadium clock. 
     

    terrible optics but on a practical level I don’t think much there

    They would have lost more than 10 seconds had they made the correct and obvious call about Maye being tackled in bounds. It was a huge gift.


    this I’ll agree with. But was at least a close-ish call. But a miss that hurt.

    He said something about how they didn’t have the ability to see the replay in the stadium, they have to get that figured out moving forward.


    but also that flag should come out 100% even if visiting team issues 

     

    they are going to rush to the line. You don’t get 40 seconds to analyze a reply. You just have to trust that it’s a big win or small loss

    I mean they’re the top rushing team in the league and in the top 15 passing offense.  He’s doing that with the worst receiver room in the league.  So that’s all super impressive.  But at the same time- they are a bit too unimaginative in terms of self-scouting and changing their tendencies.  That third down screen to Johnson broke me.  


    I think that plays exactly it- right? 
     

    ty had a crease. It could’ve worked. But what a frustrating one when it doesn’t.

    So, are you jumping up and down signing his praises over the first half? Prior to the pass to Knox in the second quarter with under 5 minutes to go the Bills had -3 yds passing and 58 yds rushing, or something abysmally unacceptable like that. He had a great half of football plus one drive, prior to that he was dreadful.


    of the first half coaching issues, he wasn’t tops. Cooks catches that ball clean and you are talking about like 2(?) stalled drives total?

    This is happening at a time when KC really needed to stock their cupboard anyway.  I wouldn’t be shocked to see Mahomes sit all of next season. 

    Nah, he can’t sit 13 months plus another offseason after. He will play just to have some faith in the healing process and annual schedule

    9 months is about the fastest you can do it. I know AP did sooner he was a freak athlete. Mahomes is a great Quarterback, he isn't the same athletic freak AP was. That puts you right around opening day if everything goes perfectly. I think Wentz missed two or three weeks of the following season when tearing his a week sooner. 

     

    I suspect he misses at least some time and probably isn't himself for a period thereafter. Not because I want that to be the case, but because I think it will be.


    yea I think you chalk September as unlikely to be real. Even if he plays a week or two likely still ramping up. 
     

    October probably sees the field and can play from the pocket but may be missing some magic. 
     

    back to normalish back half of the season

     

    wont be shocked if Reid uses this as an excuse to put some beef on the line and get a solid back to take pressure off the passing game but we will see

    He’s at a strange crossroads for sure but we restructured his contract to ensure he wouldn’t be overpaid next year.  I just don’t see where us overpaying him comes into the conversation. 
     

    jmo 


    I guess fair. 
     

    ultimately, he played well today. His contract did not work out unfortunately, and to your point that’s largely sunk cost at this point so I guess may as well just enjoy the highs when they are here.

    And we won’t. 
     

    we won, let’s bash players who had very solid games.

     

    enjoy the win.  I don’t get any negativity after this w.  It doesn’t compute


    It’s a discussion about a players trajectory and not just a players day

     

    glad he’s playing well. Unfortunately also at a strange crossroads.

    Really I feel the complete opposite. Mahomes is a whiny crybaby. Brady at least was a ***** boss. Can’t stand Mahomes or his stupid family. Same for Reid and Kelce. The city and fans are the cool ones. 


    yea, I might not be as vocal on it but I think some of the chiefs class act narrative is media construction and not reality.

     

    that said, still hugely talented

    It's like he just wants to lay in the weeds, watch what teams are trying to do and then counter it at halftime.

    The passive coaching is resulting in passive players and if he doesn't knock it off, it is going to end their season.

     


    I keep saying it’s like low positive Josh in the first half of games. But for the whole team. That era sucked.

    Glad the Chiefs are toast but you hate to see any great player like Mahomes get hurt.


    bingo. 
     

    it’s more fun when you get to see generational talents. 
     

    that said, let’s go ALL IN on next season with the chiefs likely toast with him out part of the year potentially 

  14. 15 minutes ago, Steptide said:

    He's done. I know we hate kc, but Mahomes has been nothing but classy, minus some of his family. Really sucks for him


    I won’t wish it on him either way but I think you are being a touch generous as we recall him not being super classy post game
