Looks about the same in the second half. TDs vs FGs... Chiefs going to win this one pretty easily...rematch in Tampa against the Bucs.
Regardless of what happens in this game the Bills put together a hell of a season. I figured they would put out a strong team this year but not this powerful.
Bills went for a 2-pt conversion when unnecessary just like the Packers did same day...makes no sense.
And Allen doesn't know when to get rid of the ball. They could've gotten a FG to bring it down to 14 and go for an onside kick again...but nope.
Doesn't matter - neither of them had anyone to throw to in NE, I read a stat that NE had 12 receiving TD's 4 by WR's - ALL SEASON? You have to take chances otherwise you are the same as everyone else. No, they don't have the speed across-the-board on offense. We've seen a few QB's light the world on fire, then get hurt, and a year or two later, gone. Michael Vick was one, and remember when Robert Griffin blew up the league? One thing that ticks me off is I have heard for the last month Lamar Jackson is the fastest guy in the league, and also he was the fastest ever in the league. Not even close.... then or now. They were extremely well coached, but they also played some weak teams, and as we saw, they are a few players short on both sides of the ball. I like KC and Mahommes, but what makes me sad is they are in a division that also has Herbert and Carr, and Denver will figure it out. Three, if not four of the best QB's, teams, are in one division.
Romo kept saying that they were giving him the underneath stuff to Beasley et al. but he kept trying to go for chunk plays to Diggs and Co. Don't think it would have made a diff in the end, KC was too much for them...T
Peyton Manning is the first and only QB to win with two different NFL teams. Brady can join him this year.
Montana took Chiefs to the playoffs in the 2 years he played there, but never to the SB. Pretty rarified company to be sure...T
Your coach Lafleur is an idiot and is not head coach material. I posted before the game that the winner could be decided by coaching, amd it was. Both teams played well, but Arians made the right decisions while Lafleur did not. I actually saw this coming, I noticed that Lafleur is not a good head coach.
Regarding that penalty that iced the game for Tampa Bay. I thought it was uncatchable, but more importantly these referees let them play all game long (no penalties in the first half i believe) and the decide to call that? That is inexcusable and unfair to the players. Either call it all or not. At least then the players know what they are getting. Consistency is what we all beg for. Its a shame, but not a surprise, to end a great game with disgraceful officiating. On another note, Packers fans cannot complain, this is the same horrible referee who gifted you a win on Monday night football vs the Lions last year. https://detroitsportsnation.com/flashback-clete-blakeman-absolutely-screws-the-lions-vs-packers-video/mwhitaker/detroit-lions-news/09/16/2020/233611/
Yep. McDermott too. He was too conservative going for those FGs. If they were ahead, perhaps, but behind KC and with the Bills D showing no clue on how to stop Kelce & Hill, needed to go for broke. Yeah, interesting story on NFL.com contrasting how TB went all in on surrounding TB12 with all the impact players they could find, while Rodgers - who is 37 - GB went their usual conservative personnel path.mInterest to see how GB handles things in this off-season...T
Agree! Actually Brady coached the team and made the decisions, per Arians himself. I knew if Arians made the decisions they would have lost. I'd give Belichick an assist on that win.
It really is amazing how well GB did this year considering they didn't draft a single WR to help Rodgers.
Point being that whomever made the decisions for Tampa Bay were better than the ones that Lafleur made, and that comes as no surprise to me. I will always bet against Lafleur, even with Rodgers and Favre combined being his QB
Interesting that some talking heads are saying Rodgers choked. I wouldn't say he choked, but that Brady was better just enough to win. As much as I respect Rodgers, I also notice he isn't as clutch in the playoffs as the big names are. I took notice of that in 2014 when they lost to Seattle in the NFCCG, when he had his team inside the 5 yard line twice and couldn't deliver a TD. McCarthy takes some blame for that, but Rodgers has to deliver in those moments.
