It wasn’t an extra third down. The play was blown dead but the snap still happened because no one heard the whistle. Almost he exact same thing happened in the first quarter: Cincinnati ran an offensive play that didn’t count because they had a delay of game penalty, but the crowd noise was too loud to hear the whistles.

Oh for sure I get what happened…it just wasn’t handled very well.

I can't imagine Cinnci fans when they took back the Okoye game winner for holding. Or called Gonzales for OPI in one-score games against Denver and Indy. Or the hold that took away a field goal game winner against Denver. Or the Forward progress game that took away multiple turn-overs by the "retiring" crew chief. Or the Patriots game with the knuckle offside late call interception turn-over and the phantom hit on Brady. Or the hold on the two-point conversion against the Steelers. Or the Luck game when he was able to get every call down by more than four TDs to win. The Chiefs were generationally snake bitten to the point where a lot of us were just expecting disaster after the Marty era. Lin freaking Elliot.

Yesterday was a pretty good error ratio.

Glad they got Kelce away from the mic before he screamed "Let's fucking go!" Kelce was revved up.

Pretty amazing the number of young players who made key plays for the Chiefs. Yeesh, they have a solid base for the next 3-4 years.

If you take out Butker/Townsend/Winchester, fully 20% of the active roster Sunday was comprised of rookies.

This was the cap reset year, and yet here the Chiefs are.

And they already have a few extra picks for this upcoming draft, not counting any they accumulate between now and then.

Yeah like 12 picks for this upcoming draft. That is in KC. They probably won't make all 12 picks due to trades.

But they're going to have a lot of picks again.

And many of the pundits were stating how Cinci is here for the next few years...but cinci hasn't really paid anybody yet. That Burrow bill is coming due...soon. Will be interesting to see how they manage it.

With a notoriously cheap owner.

This is a good point. I think the delay of game call can be attributed to the fans as well.

At 11 picks after the Toney trade.

it will be pretty amazing to see if KC can get even close to as many rotational players out of the next draft as they did in the previous draft. What I am curious to know is whether KC has had the most starts by rookies on a team that made the Super Bowl. Their draft class of 2022 has the following regular season starts:

McDuffie: 11 starts
Karlaftis: 17 starts
Skyy Moore: 3 starts
Bryan Cook: 1 start
Leo Chenal: 8 starts
Joshua Williams: 4 starts
Darian Kinnard: 0 starts
Jaylen Watson: 6 starts
Isaih Pacheco: 11 starts
Nazeeh Johnson: 0 starts

I have a really hard believing that there has been a Super Bowl participant who had as many regular season starts as what the Chiefs Class of 2022 has had.

From what I remember, the Seattle Seahawks had a lot of young dudes in their Super Bowl squads.

They did. But it seems like they were undone by Wilson being a world-historical goddamn weirdo. Hopefully that's not the path things take here.

I just saw that there is an online petition to have Travis and Jason Kelce's mom do the opening coin flip. How funny would that be?

It would be very funny - and human - for her to flip a coin with Travis (in a Chiefs helmet) on one side, and Jason (in an Eagles helmet) on the other.

But instead, it will most surely be some saccharine "State Farm is happy to present for your escapist entertainment this kid with cancer whose mother AND father are deployed overseas" tokenism special.

Jason's wife is about to give birth. I think he should step aside with Hurts for the game in the best interest of the cancerous deployment orphan.

I don't think it's good karma to wish an injury on someone before the game but a child birth, a miracle of life, say 4-6 hours before kick off, is safe to hope for.

Not a bad guess. You are partially correct to some degrees.

Ha. There is ZERO chance there's not some sort of corporate sponsorship tie-in to come.
