Week 9 Game Thread

Uh, not likely now, unless they miraculously overcome their collective jet lag in halftime.
Miami is getting killed, Tua sucks, and Hill had a back breaking, devestating fumble six.
I mean, is this Christmas?

How nonchalant they were about the time kind of annoyed me. It’s not like they were inside the red zone yet and were playing like they had all the time in the world.
The Sosh rules expert says the refs blow plays dead immediately when forward progress is stopped. And then last week Trey McBride was stopped and then going backwards for 4 yards and then got tush pushed into the end zone for a TD. It counted. And then Hill is going backwards for 5 yards and it's not a dead ball and he fumbles and it's a fumble six.
You can be a rules expert but that doesn't matter. The refs are random and they call everything random and are lousy at their jobs. Knowing the rules is useless and in most cases a detriment to watching football. Because the refs don't follow the rules. They go on vibes.
I should feel the same way but I’m getting kind of soft, MM seems cool, Tua took my bjj advice, I want them to lose but I don’t need to see them get embarrassed in some whack ass two time world war loser country.
The scoreboard should have a pinball mechanic where if the ball gets close it gets sucked in and spit out in a random direction. You could even do multi-ball.
Am I missing something?
Miami went to Germany on Tuesday. KC on Thursday. If anyone should be lagged, it is KC.
I wonder if Miami spent too much time during the week on icebreakers and trust falls, and not enough on gameplanning and practice.
Totally agree, I never understood why the whistle wasn’t blown when Stevenson was pushed backwards against Cincinnati last year. If the guy is being pushed backwards isn’t forward progress stopped?
My other beef is when you watch a team like Miami, multiple guys are in motion, isn’t only one guy allowed to be in motion at the snap and all other guys are supposed to be set?
Miami crushes teams that stink. But when they face a team that is good and well coached, they don't have the defense to get the job done. They are the ultimate front runners, led my arm breaker, peace sign waving Tyreke Hill.
The Chiefs defense this year has been quietly dominant.
They have called that twice on Miami today.
But last weekend, the reffing in the NFL was beyond egregious. It's just random and inconsistent and penal.(always the biggest plays, the refs make game changing calls) Obviously it's a tough job but the refs are not getting better. They should be practicing all week making calls in simulations and watching the tape. But they are part time workers.
Because it's bad. Last week was disgraceful. The Trey McBride one was AWFUL. Look at this video.

Yeah Chiefs remind of 2006 Colts, a team known for its star QB and offense but with a quietly really good and underrated defense.
That defense was absolutely trash against the run until sanders came back, as I recall.
I'm not usually one to accuse the refs of favoring a team, but the DB was shoving Wilson during his whole route and no call.
You have to beat this video game offense, a sneaky good defense, overcome the ref bias, and do it in Arrowhead in January.
The 2019 AFCCG was one of my favorite wins of the entire dynasty. I really didn't think the Pats had a chance going into that game.
Is Boys/Bills the only B2B SB rematch? Seems like many predicting another Reid Bowl and I can’t think of others
That was one of the best games in Patriots history. A culmination of 19 years of Brady, distilled into one of the most dynamic, exciting games ever.
Yes. It was a joke. Mahomes doesn't get any more calls than Brady got all the time.
Man, that was an impressive run. Almost made it.
Mahomes doesn't look fast like Lamar but nobody can catch him, it seems.

He’s fast. His upper body is strangely quiet why his legs are chugging along. It’s a weird effect.
He runs with his head up, sees the field really well and almost always makes the right decision w/regards to run or throw. His scrambles on 3rd and long must have like a 98% chance of success.
Constantly back breaking runs by Mahomes, especially last year in the playoffs. Sneaky fast.
Tua only knew he got hit late by a Chief, not that the dude was blocked into him
Well, in his defense there, he was facing the opposite direction, so he didn't see how the defender wound up hitting him
