Yep, that’s one Bienemy or Reid, 3rd down should be running the ball, with idea you’re going for it on 4th. I’d take my chances running it 2 Tim’s in a row, in that scenario

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. |

I would have preferred the mindset of it being 4 down territory there. If a defense can stop this offense from getting 10 yards in 4 plays, they deserve to win and the Chiefs deserve to lose. Really that simple.

“No. I thought we had a chance to make the field goal,” said Reid, before reiterating his quarterback’s status. “He’s OK. He’s all right.”

I thought so as well. I think Andy goes for it if Pat is healthy.

So, the solution is to take the ball out of Mahomes' hand on third down? Am I reading that correctly.

I know Butker is one of the best in the league but a 55 yarder isn't great odds for anyone and even if he hits it, you're giving the ball back to Burrow with 3 minutes left. In that scenario I'm keeping Mahomes and company on the field and going for it on 4th and 5. If its 4th & 8 or longer I am probably okay with the decision to kick the field goal, I'm just very confident in the offense converting when it's 5 or less for the first down.
The combination of the time left and facing a very good QB and offense just makes the decision a little bit puzzling to me. If the roles were switched and it was the Bengals driving down by 3, wouldn't you be happy that Cincy was taking their young stud QB off the field to attempt a long ass field goal to only tie the game? |

Roles reversed I cheer if Burrow leaves field to kick a FG. |

There are teams you can utilize the play not to lose strategy. Cincinnati is not one of them. They are very capable of scoring, especially against this defense. You have to treat teams like that as you would KC. It’s why you see those teams making head scratching decisions as FGs usually kill you against KC. Heck even that 4th down play that Dunlap sniffed out probably isn’t attempted against lesser teams.

Such a brain dead decision and one I couldn’t believe he was making in real time…you just knew Butker was gonna miss it too…
No other coach in the world with an elite QB is making that decision…esp. with a defense that was just not getting a stop. Sam McDowell made a good point, I’m paraphrasing but it was basically how do you think Cindy felt seeing Mahomes ran off the field? There ya go… Andy gonna Andy… |
