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.

Well, firstly Mahomes got hit on the play which afffected the pass.

We've been a conservative offense over the last 2.5 years. He just hasn't had enough in game reps for the deep ball.

No one was saying Mahomes was a "terrible deep passer" in the first 4 years of his career. That's obviously a ridiculous notion.

At least I’m not the only one that has their eyes open. I love the call. Worthy is open. Great play call. Mahomes missed the throw. Again

It was for Harblah

His defense has surrendered late drives in each of the last 5 games.

Tampa has a long drive, scores a TD but doesn't go for 2.
Denver drives down the field but puts on the brakes and kicks a FG (blocked)
Buffalo scores a TD after a long drive and ices the game.
Carolina drives down the field and scores a TD and a 2 point conversion.
Vegas drives down the field (after starting around their own 10 yard line) and botches a snap.

The defense is either not getting stops in these situations or they're getting lucky or bailed out by the offense. This isn't last season's defense. He shouldn't trust them until they can close games better on that side of the ball.

Because he wasn’t then. Now he is. You’ve been watching the games right?

I mean, the defense didn’t exactly win that game for them

you take every opportunity to trash the guy when he didn't have good protection

and when he does, he throws bombs

he got blasted

[comochiefsfan]

It’s gotten to the point where when we go downfield I expect an incompletion and am pleasantly surprised by a completion.

The deep passing game is a mess right now.

[wazu]

It is an indefensibly bad call. Legit may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen Andy do.

Someone tell me Mahomes completion percentage on deep passes each year.

Oh I never trash Mahomes and you saying I do is flat out nonsense. But I do call things out as they are and Mahomes is a bad deep ball thrower.

I’m very confident that on third down we run something more conservative or perhaps run the ball on third down if we weren’t coming right up against the two minute warning. As it was, passing was the best option because the clock burning wasn’t really a factor.

Going for it on fourth would have been really stupid given how many terrible plays we had today. Whether it was miscommunications with Kelce, drops, or just the play and line being blown up, getting the conversion there was a very low probability.

[Why Not?]

Cool. **** Andy then. Hope he gets Eberflused today. I swear some of you have become so entitled that if the Chiefs lose in the playoffs (a sure thing since they are coached by such a ****ing idiot, clearly) I’ll be laughing at how many of you will completely emotionally fall apart.
