Am I crazy for not liking the decision to go deep to Hill?

[Direckshun]

I’m on my phone, sorry for the lack of embed [help from a mod would be appreciated], but look at this play design:

I’m actually not thrilled at that play.

And I think it’s honestly the difference between Mahomes (who’s great) and Brady (who is the greatest).

Brady will take that dump off to Williams 10 times out of 10 until defenses play it honestly. Chew up 7 yards at a time, never take a risk, and control the game. Next time Hill is open, the odds of another defender cheating deep to punish him will be low.

Mahomes is an ambitious predator, always looking for the kill shot. But he did it at the expense of Hill’s health here.

Sometimes the kill shot is there, but the dump off is always there and Brady will always take it. That’s why he’s so consistent in the postseason, where risky behavior can kill you as often as it wins for you.

This play is insane. Patrick Mahomes is moving 5.3 MPH at the time of throw here, per @NextGenStats.

Which wouldn't be that crazy if he weren't moving 5.3 MPH *to the left* as he threw to the *right*. pic.twitter.com/sLVnB7cpeC

Amazing how much Direckshun questions the Chiefs and Mahomes.

And no matter how much they clown on him after, he never learns.

There's zero chance Deberg isn't Direckshun's mom

Direkshun, you're trying way too ****ing hard dude. Give it a rest already.

It isn't just Chiefs fans. KC sports fans are just generally stupid. You will see Royals fans post things far more ignorant than this one was.

Reek was wide open. I loved the decision.

It's actually pretty smart when it comes to being this stupid on purpose, or else you just come off like you're trying way too hard if you keep up the charade by defending yourself over and over.

It's like taking a toilet fulling Shit and walking away without trying to flush...

DeBerg starts a thread

Direckshun: Hold my beer

[tyecopeland]

Is this thread breaking the record for most thumbs up on posts solely made to bash the OP?

Get off the Arrowhead logo, Direckshun

I mean, what would you like me to do?

Respond to every post? I feel like I made my point pretty comprehensively in the OP.

A few people have responded, others have bashed. What exactly is my role here?

We're having fun, let's not ruin the magic.

There are several options.

You've of course taken the route of letting the OP stand alone as a monument to try-hardedness.

The opposite approach would be to, yes, respond to basically every post. Double down to the posts arguing yours, tell others "thanks for contributing!" or "and your opinion would be..."... that sort of thing. Then as you get more responses, get really sarcastic with it in a completely told-you-so way, grandstand for your original argument, breaking down quotes and arguing each sentence individually. You'll need a decent collection of memes and gifs as well.

The middle of the road approach, more of a diqlix thing, would be to respectfully debate for 3 days, but with little bits of snark every few posts to bait people along. Put together some big rational post, but with a little dig at Mahomes or just a little Brady ballwashing. Then 3 days later, say you never even said Brady was better than Mahomes and that you didn't really hate the decision, you were just thinking about injuries... basically retract the entire thing in hopes of being able to hear people's heads explode over the internet.

And you could just repeat your same points over and over, as something so simple would still produce hundreds of responses... if it's one thing we love around here, it's talking about the same points again and again.

Haha, thanks? I don't know if you're familiar with me or my 56,000 posts, but I know how these conversations go, and I'm no stranger to fleshing out a discussion.

Truth of the matter is, I posted the OP, then went back to what I was doing, then returned an hour later and the dunk party was on. No harm no foul, let the kids have their fun. I don't look at a thread full of furrowed-brows and think to myself "what an awesome opportunity for a productive conversation to test philosophies and learn about football."

Like I said, absolutely no harm no foul.

I don't think I'm under any kind of obligation to ruin the party by trying in vain to have a productive conversation. But I'll re-read the community standards.

You need to shave your head as penance, I think.

You have sinned, Brother Direckshun.
