Yes it would but would you take your chance on playing cat and mouse and baiting Kelce or jamming at line and then having him tightly bracketed by Levi and Milano? If he makes unreal catch in double coverage so be it but that wasn’t even contested. They screwed up the kickoff, didn’t take holding penalty on first down and were outsmarted by Kelce… it just seems to be what happened based on the data points. Just really sucks as if any one of the 3 plays goes different they very likely win.

I’m all for giving coaches benefit of the doubt but hard when we had 4 players 40 yards downfield, were playing defense with 7 and in the Kelce and Mahomes pressers after game pointed to knowing seam was open after the timeout. They then hit what was easy throw and catch without even really being contested. Tough to put all the blame on Levi when look at the entire picture

How do you pride yourself on attention to detail and situational football and not kick it high to run click, hold the first play for penalty and then knock down inevitable Hail Mary that likely wouldn’t reach end zone. Sorry new poster but the clearer it becomes the more gut wrenching

Guarding against the Hail Mary at best was dumb and worse playing scared. That is not “championship caliber.” And the most gut punching is fact that the timeout called by McD allowed Kelce to improvise and beat us. If we can see this as fan not sure how he doesn’t lose respect in locker room.

McD timeout directly allowed Kelce to improvise and beat the coverage and design he saw pre timeout. Not changing coverage or jamming at line or rolling help while keeping 4 defenders 50yrs away is inexcusable. McD was scared from Hill TD earlier and directly helped them setup the backyard play. It’s mind boggling bad
