Dee Ford is a soft, one dimensional player who flat out admits not to liking hitting people and spends way too much time being a non-factor: be it by having nagging injuries or from disappearing in big games.
This franchise absolutely cannot sign this guy to an extension. [Reply]
“We were this close (Andy Reid puts his index finger and thump close together) being offsides and if not, we’re in Atlanta.” Dee Ford was flagged on the play where Tom Brady threw an interception that would have won the game for the Chiefs.

Come now..in this game, defense kept the team in the game in the first half giving offense plenty of opportunities to score at least once.
Had they scored once in 1st half Chiefs would have won.
Both offense and defense played well half of the game.
Plenty of blame for both sides. [Reply]

You assume that the 2nd half would have played out exactly the same if Chiefs score some points in the first. Can't really predict that.
That is why plays towards the end of the game have so much more importance because a team can d!ck around for three quarters and just turn it on late. Mahomes gave us two opportunities to win when it mattered most, the D just methodically gave away the game.
Why is Brady going out of his way to gush about Mahomes and even said it after the game? He knows how dangerous Mahomes is when it really counts. [Reply]

This is seriously as simple as setting yourself on the correct side of the fucking football prior to ANY motion or a snap. It's inexcusable, and it cost the Chiefs a regulation time victory.
Dude, NOBODY is excusing him, he clearly screwed up on a play at the end of the game that has lasting consequences. With that said, plays missed earlier in the game also has consequences that alter the game.
Can't blame one without blaming the others, they all add up to a loss. You all win as a team, you all lose as a team.
It's just so much easier for those who want to bitch and whine about losing to label it as 1 play, the " What if " mantra. [Reply]

If Hunt had any balls (and he doesn't), he'd have his staff video-up every "lined up offsides" (inside of the the length of a football) the Pats had and leak it on Social Media as some anonymous fan.
But alas, that would be the game within the game that few teams play... [Reply]
Looking at the NFL's own rule book, I'd say one official decided to change the outcome of the game because you can't call one and at least not call the other.
Sorry Dee Ford, you should post this image and a copy of the NFL's rule book all over Social Media...
PLAYER ON LINE
Article 2 A Player of Team A is on his line:
(a) when his shoulders face Team B’s goal line, and
(b) if he is the snapper, no part of his body is beyond the line at the snap,
(c) if he is a non-snapper, his helmet must break the vertical plane that passes through the belt line of the snapper.
