"NFL Coach" says Mahomes Flopped
Never mind it was a penalty regardless but a "NFL Coach" is mad as heck and stuff...
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nfl-c...ing-field-goal When Patrick Mahomes was hit late, the penalty set up the Kansas City Chiefs for the game-winning 45-yard field goal. However, with some controversial officiating throughout the night, the call has come with some scrutiny not only among fans, but NFL coaches as well. In fact, an NFL coach says Mahomes sold the hit in order to get the extra yards. "That is what the owners want, $40 million skill players flopping on the ground," an NFC defensive coach told The Athletic, "drawing fouls from chemistry teachers, medical device salesmen and the like." The coach was referring to the fact that NFL referees are actually part-time employees by the league. Retired official Ed Houchili is an attorney, a career he held throughout his entire refereeing career — his son, Shawn, is a wealth management advisor when he's not officiating games. Mahomes was tackled by Joseph Ossai at the Bengals' 42-yard line, but the penalty cost Cincinnati 15 yards. Had the refs eaten the whistle, the Chiefs would have had eight seconds to attempt to get closer (or go for a 60-yarder). Instead, they were right in field goal range, and Harrison Butker drilled it. The kick sent the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl in four years, and they improved to 3-2 in their last five AFC Championships - all of which they have hosted since 2019. |

I checked out their tears factory the other day, this dude has a massive amount of posts there and they have little to no traffic. He's gotta be spending time posting over there like clay is here except without the other people. It's crazy.

Mahomes hammed it up a little after he was already on the ground.
Andy Reid teams are not coached to flop or fake injuries like the Bengals are coached to do, but as situationally aware as Mahomes is, Mahomes knows he could ham it up a little and that is what he did once he was already on the ground. Bengals 49 on the punt return was a fake-ass flop Kemp kept him for getting to Moore on the inside and Harris prevented him from any path to Moore on the outside and he did a 100% flop dive. Burrow did a 60% embellishment when 64 karras pushed Clark into him at the goalline. the contact had him go backward and he hammed it up into a fall on the backside and immediate cry for a penalty. Stupid for a coach to comment like that on an obvious foul, but Mahomes did put a little sauce on it.

I have one salient point to make on whether Mahomes sold the push or not. The rules specifically forbid making that kind of contact on a player that has gone out of bounds, however, as I noted in a previous post, Ossai made sufficient contact to draw a flag TWICE. Whether or not Mahomes sold the hit is completely irrelevant. Either contact Ossai made with Mahomes should have been sufficient to draw the flag. If Ossai didn't do it inentionally, why did he hit him twice?

There's a big difference between embellishing a clear penalty and flopping.
Did Mahomes put a little extra sauce on his tumble out-of-bounds? Of course, that's what any intelligent player is going to do. But there can be no legitimate doubt about it being an obvious foul. It was. Too bad for that kid, too, because he was singlehandedly keeping them in the game. |

Given KC's WR situation, that may have been a struggle. But KC's DL was clobbering Cincinnati. It wasn't like KC was behind and it was a foregone conclusion KC would lose. Have some faith in the one-legged man...

Also, anybody actually believe that Burrow was hit with enough force on that late hit no call to completely fall over?
Clark gives him a small love tap and Burrow collapses to the ground and instantly looks over to the official to throw the flag. Was that a dirty flop or just a smart play? Yeah, that's what I thought. |
