  1. No matter the additions, we'll all be calling him Sharktooth tomorrow. GO BILLS!!!!!!!
  2. Definitely 2 of the 5 best teams in the NFC
  3. Agree to disagree. I have no issue going for it in that situation.
  4. Fingers crossed but I see Diggs turning into a Hines Ward type player the last 3 or 4 years of his career.
  5. Is it "mahomes simping" to point out the reality of the play? There's also a video I posted if you'd like to watch it - but if you'd like to: 1. pretend the ball was a couple feet too high (it was high but not a couple feet - it went right through the Moore's hands, and an argument could be made if he didn't jump and just ran the ball would have been right there for him) and 2. pretend a defender was waiting to knock it loose (there wasn't a defender waiting to knock it loose) be my guest
  6. This chance, plus the opportunity cost of the Lions going 3 and out and needing to settle for a long FG (which if missed would give the Chiefs phenomenal field position down 1 point) is why I'd be happy if McDermott/Dorsey coached the same way in this situation. The Chiefs would have needed to stop the Lions in 3 plays regardless of where the ball was on the field. So let's play it out assuming the Chiefs make the 3 and out happen (which they don't anyway because their front 7 is atrocious) Option 1: Go for it on 4th and 25 and don't make it. Lions go 3 and out and then attempt to kick a ~45-50 yard FG to go up 4 points with the caveat a miss would give you great field position down 1 point. Lions kick the FG and make it, Mahomes needs to drive ~75 yards for a TD with 1:30 left. Pretty doable as we have seen. Option 2: Punt the ball to the Lions instead of going for it. Lions go 3 and out and then punt. Chiefs have the ball on their 10-20 yard line with ~1:20 left down 1 point. Also pretty doable. Either way, if your defense does what it is supposed to, your hall-of-fame QB has a chance to win you the game. In the situation the Chiefs were in with the QB they have, I don't think I would fault them either way. The game was lost due to execution of the Chiefs receivers (throughout the game, not just on this drive).
  7. Yes. He even has YAC potential if he holds onto the ball. I don't see a defender waiting to knock it loose?
  8. Sky Moore dropped the 1st down on the throw. I think the play was executed fine. The receiver blew it (as they did throughout the game for the Chefs). The Chiefs would have needed to stop the Lions in 3 plays regardless of where the ball was on the field. Add to that, the opportunity cost of a potential missed FG to give the Chiefs incredible field position is tough to pass up. And as another poster said, down 4 points or 1, Mahomes is the QB.
  9. Chiefs needed to stop the Lions in 3 plays regardless of where the ball was positioned on the field. Going for it was not a bad move.
  10. Less of a field for the offense to run the clock out with. Kicker misses the FG you have great field position with ~1:30 left in the game. Not a bad gamble IMO.
