It’s really the only sport that has to worry about this stuff. Baseball has a natural progression. Other time based sports like hockey and basketball have possessions regularly changing. With frequent scoring in hoop and infrequent scoring in hockey, their systems make sense, especially in the NHL playoff. Soccer, a stupid sport, has a stupid system as it is much more well suited for sudden death like hockey but opts for the random penalty kicks after a fixed period. Dumb. Ties in regular season make sense but a World Cup final decided by penalty kicks is absurd. I don’t think there is really a great system possible for football without making it hokey like college.

Lol was he calling the offensive plays in the second half or the red zone offensive plays in OT? Shanahan is a moron.

Still nuthin?

Perhaps because the douche bag apple never fell very far from the douche bag tree.

I stopped reading when I saw sour grapes Creed Humphrey mentioned. He had about 36 bad snaps.

I’m not saying there isn’t a case to be made for kicking. I’m saying simply dismissing the advantages that come from receiving is results oriented thinking based on tonight’s game.. The rule should be designed to be fair to both teams, kicking and receiving, and I think for the most part it is fair. There are advantages and disadvantages to each choice. Personally I can’t think of anything more 50/50 without being hokey. The college stuff is hokey.

It’s not an extra down inside FG range.

I think they would only face the wrath if each team scored scored equally on their first drive….0, 3 or 7, then the receiving team scored. If the receiving team scored then the kicking team failed, no real fallout for the coach.

It is exactly the rule if both teams score equally on their first drive.

That’s not entirely true. If you’re KC down three and face 4th and 2 from your own 25, of course. How about 4th and 2 inside FG range?

Huh? If each teams scores equally on their first possession then it is back to the very old school rule of first score wins. So…..if first score wins and you win the coin toss is that an advantage or nah?

If the receiving team scores a TD and makes the extra point, the worst that can realistically happen is that they are either tied in a game where the next score wins or they have to stop a 2 pointer. If the opponent scores and opts to kick for 1, then the receiving team has the advantage. If they score a FG and can hold the other team to a FG they gain a huge advantage. The only advantage for the kicking team is knowing what they have to do and possibly having 4 downs. SF failed in the game, but the rules are pretty even between kicking and receiving, maybe slightly favoring receiving. SF can blame their loss on being outcoached several times in or near the red zone. It also changes what they might have called in third down. And that is an absolutely huge reason.

Haven’t you heard he is the world’s ultimate genius?

KC is lucky that Purdy blows.

Well if you have Amari Cooper in the top 8 ish that is……interesting.

Have you seen Madonna lately? Like Darth Vader without the mask.

I never made a comp of Harrison to Raegor. The point was that Raegor, Ruggs and Jeudy were all taken before Justin Jefferson meaning the experts get it wrong sometimes. If you’re putting a guy in the HOF before his career starts, you may turn out correct. Or maybe not. Emphatically stating that nothing else can happen is something that has been proven wrong over and over again in sports, financial markets, weather forecasting and world history. But you be you I guess.

Alicia off keys

Shocked I tell you.

Did you not say the draftniks are now impervious? Let’s loop back after we’re done watching Trubisky win another Super Bowl for the Bears.

Purple haze all in my brain lately things just don’t seem the same Actin funny but I don’t know why Excuse me while I kiss this guy

You said can’t miss guys don’t miss. I proved you wrong. You then said modern scouting has become infallible. I proved you wrong. You then shifted to top 10 scouting being infallible. I proved you wrong. You then changed the definition of “miss”. But you’re right, we should trade half our team and draft picks for two years because Harrison can’t miss.

He keeps changing his standards just like you but congrats on the Yankees awesome 2023 season.

All true and that can also happen to Harrison or anyone else. With that said, Pitts was still can’t miss……and missed.

So you’re saying Kyle Pitts has lived up to expectations? Gotcha. Thanks for the honest discussion.
