How about that Jakobi Meyers sure wish we had a consistent WR like that.
 
Two observations from the Raiders and Chiefs:
Jacobi Meyers..SMH. This kid should have retired as a Pat, thanks Bill!
No matter how bad the NFL wants the Chief to try to erase the true Dynasty they just don't have the horses to get it done this year. I said they wouldn't win the Superbowl, I am now saying they will be like the rest of us watching from home.
 
You think the raiders have time to run a play with 15 seconds and then spike the ball?

What if for some reason they don't get the first down but the ball was caught? They can't spike it cause it's 4th down.

The only play here is to go on the outside and even then it's a risk because if you don't get out of bounds it's probably over.

The only play here was to spike the ball with 3 seconds left and Attempt the FG. They blew it in every way.

I'm fairy certain there was a ref blowing a whistle before that ball was recovered too.
The Patriots took 14 seconds to do it in the Super Bowl but they still had 7 seconds after that, so they did not rush to the line. Easily could have done it in 10 seconds So yeah, easily can do it. everyone is right near the line of scrimmage already.
It's 3 yards for the first, they obviously run no routes shorter than 3 yards and it's 1 read and throw or 1 read and throw it away.
It was cold, the ball was hard, the kicker missed 3 FG's of 50+ already. Getting 5 more yards to turn a 48 yard kick into a 43 could have been crucial to the success of the kick.

Now if it was indoors or in warm weather they should have spiked it with 3 seconds left and kicked it. I think the weather and the psyche of a kicker that already missed 3 times makes the risk of getting 5 yards closer worth it. Time was not an issue IMO. Execution was the issue.

Well, we beat the unbeatable Rams in the Super Bowl twice. Never say never. True champions rise to the occasion.

You're comparing a Superbowl roster to a team who can't even get a snap off? Their kicked kicked the ground instead of the ball on the possession before this.

It was too much to ask of them.

And unfortunately so did the Giants who beat a record breaking Pats team. I would’ve gladly traded the Giants Super Bowls for the Rams any day.

It’s very eerie how the once “feel good story” Patriots became a juggernaut like the Rams and look unbeatable until the “little engine that could” Giants pulled off the biggest upset of all time.
 
He wouldn't get hired as a DC anywhere. Maybe at the college level, but not the NFL. He's not smart enough

Mazzulla was quiet, but I thought his intensity, focus and competitiveness came across. I was skeptical, but the other factor was Brad Stevens. I trusted him to make good decisions.

We've got none of that with Mayo. Mayo was a potato on the sidelines as a position coach. He had not distinguished himself at all. And Bob Kraft, a man I would not trust further than I could throw, tells me Mayo is the guy. It was a perplexing arrangement to begin with, and now it is disastrous.
Muzzulla also inherited a very talented team.
 
Chiefs are like the 2019 Patriots in that they will run into a team that will exploit their weakness on offense. The defense isn’t good enough to back up that pedestrian of an offense.

Pierce says he wouldn’t do anything different regarding the end of the game yesterday. Considering they lost in a frustrating and puzzling fashion, you should probably rethink your decision making rather than sticking to your guns.

The Raiders QB said the plan was to throw the ball out of bounds, let the clock run down and kick the FG. Considering the clock was already stopped, an incompletion would have also stopped the clock, and the Chiefs had 2 timeouts, I’m guessing he meant that the play would run some time off clock and then they would kick the FG.

Sometimes, you just have to make the obvious play. Maybe they miss the FG. Maybe they make and KC still gets into position to kick their own game winning FG. You won’t know any of that if you never attempt the FG.

Giants almost beat us in week 17. They took out the 13-3 Cowboys and 13-3 Greenbay on the road. They were a very quality unit. Major Upset…top 5 all time. But not the biggest.

When I think of biggest upset of all time…

Jets beating the 13-1 Baltimore Colts - jets had no business winning that game

Jacksonville beating Denver on the road in 1996 playoffs. The most stacked Denver team I’ve ever seen loses at home to an expansion team.
 
Gurl Boss knows best !

Thankfully that Vrabel clown is gone.

Go Titans !
 
Ladd Mcconkey dominating…
 
These Justin Tucker misses are beginning to be a real issue. He just missed an extra point.
