Nzoner's Game Room>Mahomes audibles on 3rd down
O.city 09:25 AM 04-16-2024

On the biggest play of the season, Patrick Mahomes frantically went to an audible — for a play the Chiefs hadn't run all season.

Here's the rest of the story on how a "head-scratching" call helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl 58.

Good read. It's behind a paywall I think, I'll try to post the version.

Underrated is how smart our offensive lineman are. If they don't know how to block for that, it never works.

The level of preparedness from the whole team is just crazy.

While not relevant in a dome like in LV, in an outdoor stadium that could be critical, considering wind and all.

That asks Moore TD they are ere also in the wrong formation I think Kelce was n he wrong side , Pat tried to motion Toney over but Toney waved him off , if toney moves it would have been a flag , not what I would consider well oiled machine but somehow they still made it work.

That Greenlaw injury really fucked them. Probably can’t be overstated.
Yeah - the Chiefs had a hell of an effort to win that thing but it's hard to argue that they still win it if Greenlaw is there.

Injuries happen - they're a part of the game (we lost Omenihu, for instance) so I'm not willing to listen to that as an excuse. But as a simple statement of fact, the loss of Greenlaw left them badly exposed in the middle in that 2nd half.

And of course Kelce went off against his backup.

I ain't ashamed to admit we probably don't win that game (and that's me being diplomatic - I'd say we DEFINITELY don't win that game if I'm being honest) if Greenlaw is there instead of that array of confused and worthless slobs.

Then again, maybe if they had a better DC/HC duo their backups would have been more prepared.

In outdoor games, switching ends of the field can make a huge difference. Also I am still unclear on if after the 2nd OT do they play it like an end of the half and kickoff again?

Except this particular play was in regulation, the article states. Driving for the tying FG to go to overtime.

Now, if it had been in OT, yes I agree.

Not sure what Randy Gregory was doing on that play.

He's the only guy that could've blown it up. If he tries to go through Taylor and pushes around him, he's right in McKinnon's exit path. Instead he gets popped and immediately bounces out to the middle.

It almost looks like a designed look to stop a middle screen? But he was the guy (#5) that had to blow that play up and he just wasn't there.

My general impression of Toney , especially from last year, is that he is an incredibly stupid player. But then I always think of the play that is noted above. Toney obviously knew what was happening and had total situational awareness. Because he was so smart about it the play worked. I’ve always had trouble seeing how that instance fit with all the other impressions he has provided of not having any football smarts at all.

As he lost us two games all by himself last year, and didn’t contribute anything at all, I really feel, we would be better off getting rid of him. But maybe I’m wrong and he will really surprise everybody this year. That would be great.

Sort of looks like it. It would make sense too because then if there's no screen 5 can just spy Mahomes which you want on 3rd and 2
