You can't punt on the Denver 40 down by 14 to Peyton Manning with 10 min. left
 

How is this not common ****ing sense?

Not with a defense that cant get to the qb. Dude wasnt even touched tonight.

Yep. Gotta go for it there.

you can't kick FGs from the 2 against manning....which I erroneous assumed was common ****ing knowledge


hey, but it makes sense to count on our inept offense to mount more long td drives....that's playing the odds

Hey he gained 20 net when it bounced in the end zone!


Andy is a gutless pussy. Not going for it at the goal line late in the 2nd quarter was a pussy move too. As if FG will win a game like this. Grow a pair buddy, you ain't playing Buffalo today

Just got done ranting on twitter about the same thing

Guess the honeymoon is over.

NFL teams really just need to hire a stat nerd to take control of things like this

FYP

This. At the very worst, they get the ball back on the one inch line and you don't get 3 points. But 3 points means nothing when going against Manning.

With this offense, it really doesn't matter much.

Isn't that what we hired Childress to do?

Pretty good choice. Do you trust your defense or offense more?

LMAO What was that title they said he had during the broadcast...something something special projects something or another?

We play too conservative

I thought germ was coaching again

You can play not to lose when you're hosting Cleveland. In the playoffs you can't. Hope Reid understands he behaved like a gutless pussy tonight and won't let it happen again

Seriously. Hire me, KC.

You don't even have to pay me the minimum for a coach. Give me a few thousand dollars each game and I'll make the right call each and every time.

If you give me access to your playbook, I'll even throw in my sage advice about running vs passing at the goal line and how best to manage the clock

Who knew that Reid was such a complete pussy?!?!

Can't blame the loss on that though. If they had gone for it on 4th, what are the chances of making the 7 yards? Not great.
Just saying that going for it probably wouldn't have made a difference in the game.

Counting on the defense to cover the ass on the inept offense got KC to 9-0. Why would they move away from that?

This

And all night we only rushed 4 guys....

Ah, the players are down
but not crushed to the point of not being able to lift them back up

Defense which is why you go for it

either you leave them pinned or get a TD. You know the offense isn't getting it back there any time soon

Obviously the defense, but you've gotta go for it there. Just not enough time left to punt in that situation.

The problem is, is that if you bring additional rushers too much in the game, Manning will chew you up.

Yes you can, it's called having faith in who got you there.

So what fool? It's a 2 TD game and there's 6 min left, you're at their 40. No math would tell you you can win a road game vs Manning by punting there

We are all in universal agreement that this was a poor decision.

Because it's Peyton ****ing Manning?

Manning is too good at picking up the blitz. It's not going to work.

Elite defenses get pressure with just 4. It's the only way to beat guys like Manning.

The Chiefs line is good but it's far from elite.

Every NFL team should hire an 18-year-old Madden nerd to handle late game situations.

Yeah it's no Giants 2011 line. But it should be with Houston, Hali and Poe.

Another point worth discussing: Where was the sense of urgency when we were driving with ~6 mins left? I'm like screaming at my TV, "WE'RE DOWN BY THREE SCORES DUMBASSES!" And the players are all walking up to the line watching the time tick away. "We should be in a two minute offense right now dumbasses!" And then the re-kick of the punt? REALLY ANDY? WTF? And then the screen pass at the end of the game... SMH

Unfortunately there was a sense that Reid/Smith were playing a bit more "not to be embarrassed" as opposed to win the game.

Not saying this was a bad decision…Maybe you want your team thinking they are in the same league as Denver.

But you're not alone in thinking that in the 4th quarter KC wasn't exactly "trying to win".

Andy was too afraid of the moment and his players fed off it

Well, there were 12 minutes left, not 6.

And all I said was that it didn't decide the game--that assumes they make the 7 yards for the 1st down. And it assumes they continue the drive into the end zone. It's something to complain about, but it didn't decide the game.

I would put the Panthers line as Elite.

Turns out Andy Reid is the same guy he was in Philly. Big surprise there.

Eagles fans?
