Chiefs Score immediately vs. run clock - Page 2

**DaFace** · 11-19-2018, 11:21 PM

I don't think this is egregious clock management, but...

1st and goal on the 10 yard line. Down by 3 (44-47). 2:50 on the clock. Chiefs have 3 timeouts. Rams have none.

Am I crazy to think we should have run Kareem a couple times there? I know the Rams scored in 45 seconds on the next drive, but it sure feels like that would have put a lot of pressure on them to score, and I'm pretty confident we could have gotten in for the TD even if we just ran it 4 times.

Discus.

The new nfl is offense only now

you have to be the last team to score

tonight we had that chance but threw a pick or two however, I thought the exact same thing during the patriot game and caught a lot of shit for it.

clock management now you have to run it off and then score leaving nothing. Especially in the playoffs

You score when you can. Dumb****s were mad about the bomb to Reek in NE. WE HAD TWO POSSESSIONS ourselves after LA scored...

I can't believe Chiefs fans of all people are suggesting you don't take what you can get.

Nuts game tho. You could remove one of a dozen plays and the final score is flipped.

I agree. We had plenty of time to run the ball and milk the clock.

It's hard to score in the NFL even if Mahomes makes it look easy. Just score when you can answer hope your defense remembers they are professionals too.

if scandrick holds on to that int, this post never was......

**Kyle DeLexus** · 11-19-2018, 11:44 PM

I'd like to see a run or two in that situation. If you punch it in, on the first run take the points and be happy. If you don't get the TD, run the clock down to keep your opponent from having so much clock when you do put it in.

**Rain Man** · 11-19-2018, 11:54 PM

I think it's too easy to overthink these situations. You have to score. You can't waste two plays and assume you'll score on the third. Try everything you can to score. If your defense can't protect a lead, then that's too bad.

**ChiTown** · 11-19-2018, 11:55 PM

This isn’t sewing - it’s not that precise. If you can score, you score. Just have to be able to make more stops and get a ****ING INT when it’s in your hands!

This.

Ribbs67 · 11-20-2018, 04:34 AM

BS ..this is soley on Reid and mismanaging the clock again!! You run Hunt 2-3 times in that drive and spin the clock when we were on the 10 yd line!!! We we're already in field goal range down by 3! That should have been game right there! That saves Mahomes from 2 ints to make up for Andy's mistakes. Andy cost us that game last night plain and simple. He loves his new toy in Mahomes, and can't help but have him sling it around. He learned nothing from the New England game scoring to quickly and trusting our Defense!. I love Scandrick ..being a Bronco here in Idaho, but man you gotta come up with that interception bro!!

kccrow · 11-20-2018, 06:19 AM

Score and then learn how to play mother****ing defense.

chiefzilla1501 · 11-20-2018, 06:42 AM

We've gotten spoiled by how good Mahomes is. Just because he scored at will doesn't mean we should expect him to dink and dunk his way to TDs.

A TD put us up by 4... it's not like it put us up by a field goal. Of course you go for the TD there.

You score as soon as you can score, don't leave it to chance.*
