He used a 1st round pick to get our WR1 who was arguably the most productive receiver in the league during his tenure with the Bills. We had more pressing needs after that. You'll get your WR in at least one of the first three rounds this year.

Kelce is a tool and a spoiled baby, but that wasn't a shove. Definitely bumped into him but Reid just wasn't expecting anyone to come in hot like that and lost his balance. Calling this a shove is just being melodramatic.

Can you imagine the mountain of hot takes that would have ensued if Allen had air-balled an interception like Mahomes did in the Super Bowl? These guys are held to different standards. Allen has outplayed Mahomes the last 5 times they played. Switch the defenses and Allen has the trophies and Mahomes doesn't. Brady had the best defenses. Mahomes has the best defenses. Allen has a tissue paper defense and receivers with slippery hands.

Yeah that gimme TD after the punt debacle and the final walk-in toss to Hardman were legendary. He really nailed those 4 field goals too. Amazing stuff.

Pacheco and Bolton both played most of the year and the entire playoffs. Pennel was an upgrade to Nnadi. And apparently you don't need quality guard play when you can just hold on every play. Basically, none of those guys affected their game. Give us either Milano or Bernard, nevermind both, nevermind the rest of our defensive starters who were out against the Chiefs, and we're probably celebrating right now.

Well yeah if first score wins then you take the ball. But that's not the rule.

Possibly a consideration in a shootout. But unless you have zero faith in your defense then you shouldn't worry about low probability scenarios over a high probability scenario.

No injuries ever?

With respect to the bolded, that's only a consideration if the game is tied 35-35 or something. It was 19-19 because neither team could score. You don't base your decision on the mere possibility of 3 scoring drives in a row in this kind of game.

They definitely punt. If you don't get it, the other team is already in field goal range to win the game. And you count on your better defense to force a punt against an offense that has barely functioned all night.

Don't do that. They already use their own hands too much.

Yeah it's pretty simple. If you receive the ball first, you get 3 downs to accomplish your goal. If you receive the ball second, you get 4 downs and it makes a lot of decisions easier.

Most obnoxious team gets lucky again. Yawn. Almost completely unpredictable.

No, this is why you take the ball second. Chiefs are going for it on 4th because they have to. Normally you'd punt here but you already know the 49ers scored a FG. Now they can win the game when normally they would have punted.

Nah I'd rather know exactly what I need to do. If you take the ball first, you get 3 downs. If you take it second, you get 4 downs. And you don't have to second guess any field goal or "go for it" decisions because you already know the outcomes.
