Someone explain that 3 and 2 bomb?

[BlackOp]

Chiefs didnt need points in that scenario...they needed 2 yards and a first down. Not only that, an incompletion stops the clock.

Two plays to get 2 yards with a fresh Hunt and the game is over...but they went for a low percentage play for no reason. One they have repeatedly missed on for the past few months..

That is, by far, the worst play call of the past few years. It's not a mistake a championship team makes... mind-numbingly stupid from every angle.

Bad play call and even worse decision to punt immediately after that (after a timeout no less).

Can’t imagine Mahomes allows either of those things to happen in a meaningful game.

Different situations, imo. Far more likely we convert a 3rd and 2 with a run up the gut and we didn’t have a line who had just been completely adjusted against Baltimore before deciding to throw it deep.

I didn't mind the call. We weren't doing diddly running the ball all game. I think it was the worst rushing performance by the team all year. And if it had worked, it's a huge chunk play, and the game is over, maybe on a walk-off TD. But once again the protection didn't hold, even though they had a bunch of extra blockers in, and Pat got hit as he was releasing the ball.

What I wasn't in agreement with was punting afterwards. I would've gone for it anyway.

Or, I would've run it on 3rd down, and if we didn't convert, then I would've gone for the big bomb on 4th.

You want a pussy conservative coach like most of the NFL?

Or you want a coach who says “**** it, let’s get crazy and if we lose, I know my guys can win a title taking the hard road”

Option C: perfect coach who always balances the two is not a real thing.

That is a call a poorly coached team makes...for no apparent reason. Trying to get cute?

If not for a miracle fumble on the last play...it could have cost them the game.

The whole offense is poorly coached. The playcalling is worse....

[RunKC]

It was a stupid ****ing playcall. Even with so many guys in line blocking Mahomes STILL gets hit.

Punting on 4th and 2 there reflects more of the former than the latter

Truly was about as gutless as you can get

[Gary Cooper]

You only need two yards there. You don't need a TD. A first down is as good as a TD.

Your O-line hasn't blocked well all game.
Your QB isn't great at deep balls.
You just gained 8 yards in two rushing plays.
You have three power RBs.

They should have run the ball again. Or throw a short pass, WR screen, drag route, crossing route, slant. Andy mismanaged the second half by not running enough and not designing enough plays for quicker passes.

I’m fine with a pass, but a slow developing play is not something this line has proven they can block for.

If he's so aggressive why didnt he go for it on 4th and 2

[Why Not?]

Not saying I loved the call but Andy has earned the right to make it. This is not Dan Campbell or someone who has not won shit.

He looked lost. He called a timeout and then still brought the punter back out. Indecisiveness. Going for it should have been discussed even prior to the 3rd and 2.

[Bump]

It was there just wasn't executed

He trusts his defense. Who must have lost the game based on a lot of takes here.
