If I had the slightest know how on making gifs, I would make one of that play to show you what I am seeing.

back to the timeline...

on the third and 11, he scrambles and dives head first just short of the first down.

The "Brett Favre" pump fake while running probably bought him an extra 4 yards on the run.

4th and 1 and I know that fumble play is coming up.

Bill Maas just broke downt he game on Red Zone and had some fairly positive things to say about Poe as well as Cassel and the O-line. Also pointed out on the run SJ broke showed how TJ got knocked down and DJ overplayed and left the cut back lane wide open.

Bad sign that he had no idea how much time was on the play clock...if Daboll doesnt call that timeout, we get a delay of game penalty and punt it away.

That would have actually been a better result.

Have you gotten to the part where Stanzi pump fakes his way out of an open target and belly flops into a sack?

ROFL Except a defender DID get to it.

The moment the ball is snapped on the fourth down, Allen is pushed right into the face of Stanzi.

The defenders hand is literally in Stanzis face the moment his back foot hits to finish his drop back.

Id also like to add that that defender grabs Stanzis facemask as he reaches towards him and holds on enough to turn Stanzis head over 90 degrees.

No flag.

Should have given him a first down inside the redzone on the no call penalty.

Stanzi escapes for less than a second and rolls out to his right only to get taken down and fumbles.

It was a fourth down play, anyway....but he should have secured the ball or tried to throw it away during his rollout.

Cant really tell, but its possible his helmet was shifted after the facemask.

They showed a replay after, it was ontop of the helmet. Didn't get hte facemask.

Go watch the play, idiot.

Tell me it was a ball that normally gets intercepted...

That throw could probably get thrown 1000 times without getting intercepted.

Total fluke.

It was placed in a spot where the only guy that could catch it was the Chiefs receiver.

So what you're saying is that even though a defender DID get to it, it was in a spot where a defender couldn't get to it?

That was the only excusable mistake he made. It was a good throw and it was a good defensive play. Other than that he stunk it up.

Yep.

I'm not going back to watch it, but how did the ball get deflected? Was it Copper?

The first hand hits rigth above the helmet and the the second hand goes right at the facemask as the first hand slides down the helmet into the facemask.

He actually has BOTH HANDS on the facemask on the exact replay you mentioned.

Shit, lets say he didnt even get his hand on the facemask AT ALL (even though he did) you cant touch a quarterbacks head AT ALL with the new rules.

Replacement refs FTL.

I believe the new rule is they do allow incidental contact to the head.
