I like the reverse frame for this - I'm pretty sure every Chiefs fan was breathing a massive sigh of relief when the XP try was snapped. That means, Todd, you fucked up.twocoach wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2024 11:03 pm What say you all, if you're TB do you go for 2 or not go for 2 after their last TD?
I go for it.
You're either standing there with the ball in your hands with a chance for a walkoff win or Patrick Mahomes is standing there with it in HIS hands with a chance for a walkoff win.
Why the fuck would ANYONE choose the option where Patrick Mahomes has it?!?

I had -6.5. It didn’t dawn on me until midway through the Chiefs’ drive that I was drawing dead.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:48 amYup.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:35 amI like the reverse frame for this - I'm pretty sure every Chiefs fan was breathing a massive sigh of relief when the XP try was snapped.

Even though conversion rate is lower than 50%, you're the underdogs, you have the momentum, you've seen Mahomes story before.
I had Chiefs -4.5 in my parlay as well so when they kicked it, I also breathed an extra sigh of relief.
Don't need to kick it.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:51 amI had -6.5. It didn’t dawn on me until midway through the Chiefs’ drive that I was drawing dead.
I'm genuinely curious what they'll do if they get to 15-0 (which means the #1 seed is done and dusted - this could happen earlier, also, but 15-0 gets you through the Texans game).
Basically, Tampa thought that their 50/50 chance at winning the coin toss was higher than the odds they stop Mahomes from driving into field goal range with 27 seconds and 3 timeouts on a gimpy ankle in the rain. What a testament to Mahomes, Reid and the Chiefs right there. The :13 second game vs. the Bills is still scaring the shit out of the rest of the NFL.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:48 amYup.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:35 amI like the reverse frame for this - I'm pretty sure every Chiefs fan was breathing a massive sigh of relief when the XP try was snapped.

There is of course this thinking ( it's a stretch but I can see the angle ):
If you go for 2 and get it, Mahomes and Andy have was it 3 timeouts? At least 2.
And 30 seconds.
They are going for it on 4th down.
They have a kicker who can kick 60 yard field goals.
So because they are tied, they'll play it more conservatively and also be fine with going into OT, and if you get the coin toss, the situation is completely in your hands now.
It is...but I'm not sure you can fully blame them.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 8:41 amBasically, Tampa thought that their 50/50 chance at winning the coin toss was higher than the odds they stop Mahomes from driving into field goal range with 27 seconds and 3 timeouts on a gimpy ankle in the rain.

Reid said Brown was on schedule or a "little ahead of schedule" in his rehab schedule. Who knows what that means as far as an actual calendar. I hope he comes back but I am not expecting it.
No one really knows for sure.
Yeah, that was really classy and cool. I didn't take it as a dig at Tennessee at all. Hopkins is a very well-respected player in the league and I know the Chiefs players in that locker room want to get guys like Hopkins and Hint their first Super Bowl ring. Just another thing that keeps this team hungry to win instead of being complacent.Back2Lawrence wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 8:55 am I only watched a couple minutes last night, and didn’t read any of this so my bad if this has been mentioned/etc.

lol. So good.
Glad he got out and can be on a successful team. If we had pieces to use him correctly/efficiently, I’d feel different. But nah.
My mental target for Pacheco's return is the Dec. 8th game vs. the Chargers. That should be plenty of time for a fracture to heal and get him back in practice and up to game speed. The nice thing is that he can come back to half a workload of carries now that Hunt is in the fold. KC doesn't need to hand Pacheco the ball 20 times a game.pdub wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2024 9:00 amNo one really knows for sure.
Of course I hope he's out there significantly ahead of schedule.
And Pacheco too.
