Late game FG attempt

That’s the stupidity of Andy Reid’s decision… besides choosing Butker/Toub’s special teams unit over Mahomes, even a made FG there doesn’t put the Chiefs in a solid position to win.

I’m with you. I’m just pointing out that the alternative isn’t nearly as rosy as everyone makes it out to be. If we score a td I believe we give up an easy bengals td and we never see the ball again. We probably lose that way too.

Even scoring a TD, no one is painting a rosy picture.

Obviously it would improve our chances greatly to have a 4 point margin than expect our D to protect a tie.

A tie at that point was 100% a loss. A TD at that point was still no certainty but definitely improved our chances.

Missed Field Goal = LOSS

Made Field Goal = LOSS

TD = A chance to win. Those were the options at that point.

Scoring a TD while bleeding the clock is the ideal.

Agree to disagree.

We can give up a quick score in a tie game. Play super aggressive and gamble, and worst case they get a really quick score. We saw it play out differently because with a miss cincy ended up sitting on the ball. But with a make It is the only scenario where you give our offense a reasonable shot at getting a last possession.

The way our defense was playing I think that TD chance to win was pretty low % too.
