Yeah a big talking point that never gets mentioned during the playoffs / Super Bowl is that the teams that go furthest are the healthiest. Brady and Mahomes somehow never had to play with half their defense.
Not really. No offensive holding calls when they played Buffalo, infinite personal fouls against Baltimore.
They're just another version of perennial cheater enabled by the NFL.
That, or if we had this officiating crew that actually called offensive holding against the Chiefs.
Would have been Super Bowl bound after this weekend.
Has any assistant coach ever done less with more? Glad another team is forcing us to shake it up.
Maybe he'll be a better coordinator than he was a defensive line coach.
Josh played an amazing game overall, but he had two errors on the final two plays that lost the game.
Winning in the playoffs is more of a competition between which teams are healthy and which are not. KC had zero injured players. We had half our defense out.
KC also gets away with murder in the playoffs. They hold everybody on every single play and they never get called. They had the second most offensive holding penalties during the regular season and didn't get any tonight despite blatant holds on every snap. They were grabbing and bumping our receivers and didn't get a single flag. One of their receivers runs into our LB and we get pass interference.
White, Milano, Rapp, Bernard, Benford, Spector.
Again, the talent level is not even comparable.
Dolphins were not missing two entire position groups either.
Buy: the Allen to Diggs connection. Value hit an all time low recently then showed signs of growth as demand is heating up.
Sell: Von Miller. Cut the fat to allow for proper re-allocation of resources.
Hold: McDermott's defensive game planning. His department has been decimated by personnel losses but he righted the ship and rallied a bunch of interns to an outstanding 4th quarter performance.
He had a nice punt return earlier. And he doesn't muff punts. Also had a game saving catch last week. I don't want him as involved in the offense as he was to start the season, but I think he's being used perfectly right now.
Good! To me, referees should only exist to call procedural infractions and blatant fouls.
The reason the tush push works every time is the Eagles commit at least one foul every time. Usually it's Offside plus a false start. Hopefully the NFL starts applying their focus to every team in the league regardless of whether they have a cute name for their illegal plays.
