NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round game thread

[JOBU]

Just fair catch every punt.

Lol good call

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Despicable man returns punt, Nantzgasm ensues.

 

[BaseballJones]

Geez Hill is absurd.

 

[The Social Chair]

Nationally televised racism every few minutes.

 

[Rusty Gate]

Ridiculous rule on the no catch. The little bobble was small adjustment while in control.

 

[shawnrbu]

A pivotal moment took place in Nantz’s drawers.

 

[ngruz25]

Dude going out of bounds sure changed the course of the game. One of the easiest penalties to not commit, too!

 

[CFB_Rules]

Er don’t the penalties offset? What is this business about KC ‘electing’ to replay the down?

It’s a change of possession, they can decline the penalty on Buffalo and have only their penalty enforced

 

[johnmd20]

Nantz orgasming to Hill is horrendous for so many reasons.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

KC so lucky

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

The cosmic mindfuck that is Hill's combination of character pathology and talent.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Of course KC recovers that fumble

 

[tims4wins]

Wow

 

[strek1]

I hope those assholes in the stands choke on that chant

 

[johnmd20]

Ridiculous rule on the no catch. The little bobble was small adjustment while in control.

He completely lost control of the ball.

 

[Van Everyman]

What a stupid fucking playcall

 

[tims4wins]

Fuck you KC

 

[Ale Xander]

Too cute

 

[BigSoxFan]

What a stupid ass play call

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Haha fuck them, they got cute

 

[johnmd20]

I love that they take Mahomes off the field for the most important plays.

What are you doing?

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Get that cutesy shit outta there.

 

[Helmet Head]

Yah, let’s take the ball out of your best players hands

 

[BaseballJones]

Man too cute there. So dumb.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Awful play call

 

[Ferm Sheller]

This is setting up for a last minute 29-28 KC win.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Why would you run an option play with your TE and not your awesome, fast QB?

 

[CFB_Rules]

Why does KC get to make that choice? They had the "worse" penalty (the personal foul). Why can't Buffalo be the team to make the choice? CFB?

They are the team in last possession after a change of possession. Basically the rule exists so that this doesn’t happen:

Team A illegal formation. Throws a pick. Block in the back during return. Offsetting fouls would be extremely unfair to team B, so they have the option to decline the penalty on team A and keep the ball after enforcement of their penalty.

 

[trotsplits]

Why hasn't that war chant receive more criticism? Didn't the Braves stop doing it 20 years ago?

 

[johnmd20]

Man too cute there. So dumb.

There was nothing cute about it. It was only ugly.

 

[tims4wins]

How bout 8:55 75 yard drive.

 

[luckiestman]

Both Nantz and Romo are good; I said it.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

You have Mahomes/Kelce/Hill but run an option with your backup TE on 3rd and short. Genius.

 

[BaseballJones]

Team A illegal formation. Throws a pick. Block in the back during return. Offsetting fouls would be extremely unfair to team B, so they have the option to decline the penalty on team A and keep the ball after enforcement of their penalty.

Ok that rule at least makes sense.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I'd call a lot of scoring back and forth a shoot out.

I'd call a 9-6 game a rock fight.

But that's just me.

“Shoot out” is solid.

 

[speedracer]

It's crazy that a silly little penalty like "guy ran out of bounds" is equal to "personal foul, tried to blow up someone's knee" when talking about offsets.

I think unsportsmanlike conducts never get offset by anything other than another unsportsmanlike though, right? Seems like pretty misplaced priorities.

 

[tims4wins]

This is setting up for a last minute 29-28 KC win.

Buffalo would go for 2. So either 27 or 29.

 

[mr_smith02]

Nationally televised racism every few minutes.

Not to hijack the thread or take away from an abundantly entertaining weekend of football, but it is just ridiculous that the NFL espouses Black Lives Matter and End Racism but seems perfectly fine with the Chiefs' fans doing that chant. Washington changes its name but not KC?!?

 

[kartvelo]

It's Kansas City, Jake.

 

[Captaincoop]

What an idiotic play call. They're lucky that wasn't a fumble.

 

[luckiestman]

Didn't the Braves stop doing it 20 years ago?

no

 

[staz]

Why would you run an option play with your TE and not your awesome, fast QB?

Reid comes from the Carroll School of Head Coaching?

Thanks for hijacking the thread and taking away from an abundantly weekend of football.

Chiefs isn’t as derogatory as the former WFT name

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Kid.

Edit to add, I think there's a kind of futility suggested in "rock fight" that you don't get with "slugfest."

As in, they don’t have anything better to fight with. I see that.

I guess you didn’t watch the World Series.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

You know who has been a non-factor? Dawson Knox.

 

[mikeot]

Nantz really is the one nauseous note in an otherwise epic football weekend.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Both Nantz and Romo are good; I said it.

Really? I actually think Romo is great (even as a niners fan and having him call last weeks game).

But Nance is really bad. I don’t care at all who wins this game, but he seems to be a chiefs radio announcer. I don’t understand why. And I’d consider myself a complete neutral in this game.

What is the NFL supposed to do about it though? Suspend the KC fan base? Make KC play without fans? You can kick individual people out of the game for using the N word, but you can't empty an entire stadium, can you? I'm trying to be realistic and practical, not assume some moral stance here.
