NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round game thread

[kartvelo]

The Goal Line doesn’t end at the sideline, it actually ends at the outside edge of the pylon. So each pylon is 4 inches wide, thus the goal line is actually 8 inches wider than every other line.

Any part of the ball touching any part of the pylon, or crossing over any part of the pylon, is a touchdown.

That oughta answer it.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I hate that fucking cutesy pitch play by KC -- they do it all the time

 

[tims4wins]

Another danger play. I hate the cutesy goal line shit

 

[ngruz25]

Guh, that was a crazy good pass.

 

[johnmd20]

Pringle is all that and a bag of chips.

I'd love to see a pick 6 on at least one of them tonight.

 

[mostman]

If you are a pass rusher, that shit has to crush your soul.

 

[Helmet Head]

Nope, the Chiefs can eat a bowl of the genitalia of their choice.

Nantz has me headed in this direction

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Just no actual potato.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Pringle is all that and a bag of chips.

Actually, a can of chips.

Does anyone else just feel indifferent about this game? I can usually muster up more hate for one team over the other. I just really want both teams to lose and don’t really care about the outcome.

As long as the Chiefs continue to employ Hill, they can burn in Hell.

 

[Gash Prex]

I hate both of these teams

This is where I'm at. The good news is that a team I don't like will lose this game.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

That play was bonkers.

 

[johnmd20]

I hate both of these teams

I am finding myself hating the Chiefs a LOT more.

Welcome to the "I guess we're for the Bengals" Bandwagon

Outside or inside of the pylon - it's all out of bounds. So how can touching it anywhere be IN the end zone, which is an area of the field that is IN bounds?

You aren't out of bounds until you touch the ground out of bounds. The ball can cross the goal line out of bounds if the player is still in bounds. Imagine a player running into the end zone holding the football out to the side over the pylon.

 

[joe dokes]

Nantz has me headed in this direction

He (and the crowds' chant) sent me to mute n' music awhile ago.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I wonder if Allen will throw down field now?

With each team looking to get maybe 8 possessions and the Bills kicking to start the third quarter I don’t think they can waste this possession by screwing around with three yards and a cloud of dust.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I hate both of these teams

I want Buffalo to win, but them losing would be a sweet consolation prize.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I hate both of these teams.

 

[Remagellan]

I hate the Bills more, so I'm rooting for the Chiefs. Plus I'm rooting for the Bengals next week, and I don't want their offense to be put in a freezer by a trip to Buffalo.

 

[tims4wins]

OMG sidearm!!1!11!

I lived in upstate NY 78-86, so feel some sympathy for Bills fans. And I hate that Pow-Wow-The-Indian-Boy chant. So inclined to favor Bills over Chiefs, but not strongly

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Nantz with barely a reaction to a great play by Buffalo.

As long as the player goes into the end zone IN BOUNDS, yes. We're talking about the Mahomes play if he dove and landed physically short of the goal line, but extended the ball past the goal line but outside the pylon. That would NOT be a touchdown. But if he hits the outer edge of the pylon, even though the pylon is out of bounds, it's still technically IN the end zone, and since this out of bounds but still in the end zone object exists, it extends the goal line four inches on either side of the field, so it counts as a touchdown.

I've been saying it for years. Nantz absolutely sucks.

 

[BaseballJones]

Geez, Allen is so good.

It is just the rule. It may be because it makes it easier to call. Like the rule that a ball that goes directly over the upright is a good field goal even though it would have been a doink if lower.

It is four inches. So long as everyone has the same rule it really doesn’t matter.

 

[joe dokes]

Is it possible for Beasley and Hill to end up in a med tent on the same play?

 

[tims4wins]

Allen is like a faster quicker Big Ben

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Beast

Of course. Everyone playing by the same rules, no biggie. I just prefer for rules and explanations to make some sort of sense.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Josh Allen is LEGIT.

Bravo. Now that you are in the upper percentiles in rule knowledge, wanna work some Pop Warner games on Saturdays???

 

[loshjott]

These QBs are so so good.

 

[tims4wins]

Left too much time.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Nice drive.

I know what we're talking about. It seems you answered your own question that I replied to.

 

[kartvelo]

Left mahomes too much time...

maybe this would be a good time for one of those cutesy pick-6 throws I'm looking for

 

[joe dokes]

Prom night shouldn't have rules

 

[shawnrbu]

Davis should have kneeled at the 1.

 

[mostman]

Left too much time.

My first thought too.

 

[BaseballJones]

These two offenses are phenomenal.

 

[biff_hardbody]

I hate both of these teams but I am still enjoying the pure athleticism on display from Allen and Mahomes.

 

[mr_smith02]

Why don't teams use the hurry-up offense more often in games?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Prom night shouldn't have rules

Rim shot.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Rams are attempting to ban ticket sales from the Bay Area.

I know EPL teams do that, but do any North American sports do that?

 

[joe dokes]

Just when you think a half is going to last some insane short time, the last 2 minutes take 45 minutes

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Plenty of time for KC to dick up with some high-danger bullsh!t.
