I bring to your attention the red highlighted part. The Chiefs were down 24-13 with less than two minutes to go and a 3rd and short in their own end. Gee, why did they call timeout? I mean, it's a meaningless preseason game, no? Why not take a knee? Why not run the ball? Instead, they called a timeout, and then tried a pass that got picked off. Why? Because they wanted to evaluate their team, and maybe they even wanted to win. Go ****ing figure. Those are the two objectives of football.
And the Patriots took a knee at the end of the game because they were on their own nine yard line. Just a little bit different from being handed the ball in your opponent's end of the field. And it's not Harbaugh's problem that the KC reserves let a pass go for 38 yards on one play to put them three yards from the end zone.
Anyone think Vince Lombardi would've taken a knee? Paul Brown? Hank Stram? We all complain about how pussy the NFL is getting. Now we have to worry about if a coach is hurting someone's feelings by (gasp!) actually attempting to score? **** that shit.
