As if things aren't chaotic enough, this happened with the team down by three, and a minute left in THE SUPER BOWL. You know the players can barely hear shit on the field with all the crowd noise, plus the adrenaline, the fatigue, all of it... How easy would it be for one guy to miss it, and foul things up? Or the center to freak out and muff the snap?
Pretty next level shit all the way around.
Can we please stop it with the FINAL MINUTE shit? If the clock expires, it just goes to a second OT. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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

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? [Reply]

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. [Reply]
