I think this is correct. We might have squeaked into a SB appearance, but at what price? Keeping Idiot Bob Sutton for another 3 years? Much better the way things turned out, IMO.

I enjoyed watching it a lot more the second time. It gave me hope for the future.

That thing you didn't recognize much was defense...

Naw. Many offensive plays were there had they been executed. I get your point about defense, but this was more a case where both offenses were flat rather than both defenses were dominant. Doesn't really matter - interest was way down, lowest ratings in over a decade, and it turned out to be a dud of a game.

Only in Patriot-land...do they get this call late in the fourth on a 3rd and 8. If it's called honestly...Chiefs most likely are SB champs today.
The purple arrow shows where his left, red glove is...the ball is on his forearm. His right red glove is clearly not under the ball...it's off to the side. He flips over and has to re-grasp the ball after it hits the ground....so much for maintaining possession. Swap the color of the jersey and that's ruled incomplete. Just like the Jaguars AFCCG...Pats got every 4th quarter break...including a fake roughing call. Last edited by BlackOp; 06-17-2019 at 10:49 AM.. |

First, it's Hogan not Edelman.
Second, watching the replay, it's not remotely clear that the ball touches the ground there at all. It's fine for his forearm to be what keeps the ball off the ground. Doesn't have to be the hand. Third, refs missed a key, blatant, OPI on this Chiefs pick play. Pause it at 2-3 seconds and you'll see the pick three yards downfield while the ball is still in Mahomes hand. Fourth, Chiefs fans: Let 'em play! Also Chiefs fans: waaah, we didn't get a ridiculously close call overturned.

There was no evidence to overturn the call. It was a catch. |

You cant lose control of the ball at any point if the ground is involved....and he did. I wont even get started about the call against the Steelers with Jesse James...your team is given every critical call... being upheld or overturn. Patriots have been to at least 3 Superbowls due to the one-sided officiating at pivotal moments. Last edited by BlackOp; 06-17-2019 at 02:08 PM.. |

Now we are in the best possible position to succeed. The way things are being run in the front office and on the field look much better to me than where we were this time last year. It was a necessary loss.

Christ, the Chiefs might well have gone undefeated if they'd merely had a bad defense. Unfortunately, they were several levels below merely bad. |

We'll never know. Although I suspect that had we actually won the Super Bowl, Sutton would have retired. It probably wouldn't have been voluntary, but would have been made to look that way.

I still had it saved WAY back on my DVR, I forgot about it. I never watched it again and this thread reminded me it was still on there....Delete.
