Houston taking a delay of game there is so awful it’s hard to explain. After taking a timeout out of a timeout you then let the clock run down and get a delay?

Lmao

Their stupidity is the only thing stopping me from calling them the best team in the conference. Seen some blocking metrics that indicate their OL isn't as bad as I thought.

Honestly.. tonight is one of the worst I’ve ever heard from him. I think a lot is exaggerated but tonight was very clear and ridiculous meat riding.

I'm not that guy normally but it really was embarrassing how he flipped out over the one bad D holding call on KC right after ignoring the phantom Hou motion & offsides calls just before that.

I just watched the second half again. We actually dominated a lot of the game .


I didn’t realize we called a time out after the pick 6.. What was that about !

Ya we crushed on early downs which is usually more repeatable. Offenses that cruise as the Bengals did for a while usually don't need to convert a million 3rd&longs.
That time out was idiotic.

only thing i can think of is the Kicker was taking a dump or piss thinking there was no way they'd need him for a while since we didnt even have the ball.

I actually thought we overdid the celebration on the play and risked a delay of game on the extra point.
 
That's a good point, kicker must have been having a human issue since they were on Defense and Bengals had a 1st & 10...

If they had to because of the celebration then just screw the NFL no other team has this BS happening to them (picturing Brady with the "reset the play clock" arm-lifting to the moon

They were missing a linemen I think. Right before the timeout you see Dawkins coming running out onto the field, think he was taking a piss as you noted.

Seems like the 5 seed is the realistic best case scenario right now. Even with a win at Foxboro next week, the Patriots would still have to lose another division game vs. the Jets or Dolphins. And even then, I'm not sure what the tiebreaker scenarios are if Buffalo and NE have the same exact record.
Expand...
given the normal outcomes to get to a tie, because losing to Ravens doesn't help unless they are going to lose 3.


Bills sweep
Pats lose to Bills/Miami

H2H tied
Div tied 5-2
Bills lose tie breaker because NE beat Falcons

They actually put together a highlight package of Mahomes plays sometime in the third quarter, which was laughable due to the game that he was having. One of the plays was like a scramble run out of bounds for 6 yards (not a first down).

Today has the potential to be a perfect day for the Bills.

-Win vs. Cincy
-Colts are about to lose
-Chargers have a tough game tonight vs. Philly
-Steelers are way less scary IMO than the Ravens in a first round 4/5 playoff matchup
Expand...
I get it and all, but Chargers winning tonight would be a pretty big hit to the Chiefs playoff chances so I'd probably rather see the Chargers win.

I assume it was to avoid a delay of game, but that was one of the weirdest timeouts I've ever seen. And maybe they were THAT nervous about moving an extra point back 5 yards in those conditions, but man, I think I would have much rather taken my chances on the longer extra point vs. sacrificing another timeout that you very well may have needed.

In general, I think coaches have come a long ways in terms of using analytics in their decision-making, but coaches/QBs sacrificing timeouts to save 5 yards (or in McD's case, to get the defense lined up correctly) as often as they do is maybe a miscalculation in a lot of scenarios.
 
I am super excited that the Chiefs are on the brink here, but I will say their remaining schedule is:

Home vs. injury-riddled Chargers
Away vs. Titans
Home vs. Broncos
Away vs. Raiders

Titans and Raiders games SHOULD be relatively easy wins and I think the Chargers is a likely win too. If they actually run the table, their playoff odds increase to 62% with a Chargers loss tonight or 43% with a Chargers win tonight.

Chargers remaining schedule is:

Home vs. Eagles
Away vs. Chiefs
Away vs. Cowboys
Home vs. Texans
Away vs. Broncos

Decent chance the Chargers are underdogs for all of their remaining games and if they lose tonight and lose to the Chiefs, they're essentially one more expected loss away from still letting the Chiefs sneak into the playoffs.

Chargers winning tonight essentially Dooms KC. Would put them 3 games up on KC with the head to head game next. Chargers issue is their schedule is extremely difficult to end the year. Philly tonight, then KC, Dallas, Houston and Denver. Much like the Colts, them losing out or going 1-4 is entirely realistic. As fun as KC's loss was yesterday they are still in a decent spot to get to the playoffs with Tenn and the Raiders. They obviously have to win out but with the Chargers schedule and the Colts disaster at QB, KC is still very much alive.

Depending on what happens with NE down the stretch that last game may mean nothing to Denver.

1000%, if the Chiefs are barely in or need a Chargers loss in the finale, highly likely Denver lays down unless the 1 seed is on the line.
Expand...
I tend to think KC is done regardless and have more faith in the Chargers than most do here, but I also said the Chiefs were in trouble a month ago and everyone said they would sneak in then too. It's too bad the Colts couldn't close out that fourth quarter against them because they would be on a 5 game losing streak at the moment.
