Watch it again. Wallace hit his foot.

I had it on for the first Qtr and it was so ridiculous. Several interceptions where the offensive players didn’t even try to stop the interceptors. I fast forwarded to the 4th to see if, like the NBA All-Star game, they played harder in the 4th, but they didn’t. That ‘spot and choose’ concept was both dumb and confusing. They also gave teams the option after scoring to try and get a 4th and 15 conversion, for which the teams were like 1 out of 10. I hope they don’t adopt these rules for the regular season, but they have been discussed and, quite frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were added.

The defensive strategy used was to protect the sidelines and push the receivers to the middle of the field so they couldn’t go out of bounds. Of course, this didn’t make sense because the Chiefs had timeouts to use, which they did. You can’t fault anyone for making a tackle but if Levi Wallace missed hitting Kelce’s foot and he went a few yards more (think Prescott for Dallas), the time may have run out. I don’t believe you can call a timeout before the runner is ruled down.

Here’s some pics from a friend who attended.

It’s the American way!!!!

And it’s more than just calling plays. Unless they keep the whole offensive playbook, it’s also designing plays.

But why…why…does it have to be someone with the last name of Brady???!!!!

Penn St?

I bet there has been discussions about giving extra draft picks to a team that hires a black coach. Then they decided to not open that can of worms and came up with giving draft picks to a team that allows a black coordinator to take a head coaching position.

So, you don’t think ‘Hail to the Commanders’ works?

If anything is derogatory, it’s the crowd chanting. Same with the Atlanta Braves.

But…there are no ties to Carolina.

Unfortunately, with the hiring discrimination claims, I see a Congressional investigation coming. Wish they’d stay in their lanes and do some legit work.

Jim McNally?

Did somebody say they’re looking for someone to motivate the offensive line?!!!!!

But…he had Zay Jones!

Yeah, I ‘m rooting for the Bengals partly because I don’t know anyone that’s a fan of theirs and partly because they haven’t won any. I also can’t root for an LA team for various reasons.

Yeah, he’s a good coach but not so much to worry about him taking over the Dolphins. How many Super Bowls did he win? Zero. How many national titles as a college coach? Zero. I’ve been kind of surprised he lasted at Michigan since, until this season, he never beat Ohio St. He also seems to get antsy after 3 or 4 years. He makes the College Football Playoffs for the first time and then decides it’s time to go back to the NFL?

On Mars.

I thought the league is supposed to alternate sites when playing out of division teams? Next season will be the 5th consecutive time in the regular season that we play the Chiefs in KC. ????

Remember when the QBs called their own plays? It’s been a while.

Regarding #2, watch the Niners closely on Sunday.

Exact moment would be seeing grumpy-faced Belechick after the 47-17 playoff thumping, walking out to the center of the field to meet McDermott.

After Daboll ignored him for most of the season?

I can only go by what I see on the broadcast. Several times I’ve seen shots of a FG kicker warming up into the net, even late in a game. There was one game I recall where a team had to call a timeout because “they couldn’t find the kicker”. What do they do, leave him by himself and then whistle for him to come? I don’t know if a similar scenario takes place before a kickoff. One would think the kicker would be paying attention to what’s going on and maybe stand close to his coach, but what do I know. Things can likely get pretty chaotic on the sidelines in a big game like this, but that’s why they pay the head coach the big bucks. I would also rather have a coach be micromanaging than assuming everybody knew what they were supposed to do.
