Yeah, OBJ is toast and I don’t think Bateman is ever going to be more than a #3 or 4.

Would we rather be 10-7, have no one picking us next year then we go on the road and win it all? Is that what this team needs? I just cannot get over how dominate these 2019 and 2023 seasons were that ended in failure

Just heard 16 rush attempts is the lowest in 6 years, they had 16 twice with LamarIt was never going to be through the air my brother. Ried's game plan was to make him a 'pocket-passer' which would limit Lamar's abilities.

no he shouldn't have just gone down. If he did that he would be Hollywood Brown. He could have stayed on his feet and atleast got a first down and maybe the momentum would have brought him in the end zone but holding the ball securely

While it was a popular signing, OBJ returned the least dividends of any FA we picked up last year.
Random comment……I could have gone through the TV when OBJ had a short catch for a first down in the 4th and did his little celebration. I mean your down by 10 points, give the ref the ball and get yo ass ready for the next play, it ain’t about you at that point.

I meant that he should have gone down after the first. Protecting the ball there is in my opinion more important than trying to score, since we would of had 1st & goal from inside the five if he had gone down just after he got past the sticks instead of trying to score

Gotta be aware of where the defender is and wrap up. He’ll learn from that play and be better for it.

This isn’t sour grapes, I honestly think Mahomes is overrated, second time he’s scored 0 in a championship game second half. Bailed out by Kelce in this game

TBH I don’t blame Flowers for trying to score on that play. He was there and it really wasn’t a fumble. It was a hell of a play by Snead, or really lucky. He knocked the ball loose.
Flowers lost his composure on the taunting penalty. That’s where he needs to grow and learn to keep his emotions in check.

Definitely try to score there, but have both arms wrapped around the ball.

Oh I don't really fault him for it. I get why he tried to score on the play and I think he probably scores 7/10 times. I just would have preferred for him to go down after the first so that we'd have the fresh set of downs and the ball inside the 5. Protecting the ball there should have been our first priority

Game is on NFLN, chiefs blatant hold on their first TD, Romo called it out.

But you're so close and you don't need both feet in the end zone, just a tip of the football to lick the line.
I don't think I'd ever be able to resist, no matter how much experience I have. What if I make that 1st down and Gus fumbles on next play or Lamar throws a pick? It would kill me knowing I was so close and I didn't try.

Knowing our luck that is what would have happened. We are to the point where I can’t even rewatch the 2000 and 2012 Super Bowls to comfort me, I need something new. Damn this team

I don't really fault him for trying to score, he is young and tried to make a play, BUT I think that going down after the first and living to play another down is better than going for broke
This was the Travis Kelce touchdown.
Oh man... the more I see. I don't know how you could miss the hands to the face on Oweh, bear hug on Van Noy, and a better angle shows Madubuike getting a hand around his throat.
It really is infuriating.

It’s annoying to hear chiefs fans just say we were undisciplined when they get away with this shit all the time. I think I hate this team more than New England

I thought I was getting a little better but I’m sinking again, this team was like the 91 Redskins, a lock to win it all. Lamar is going to get nonstop hate all off season and next season, he will get mocked when he gets his MVP. What a disaster this turned out to be, fair or not.
however the 91 redskins has one of the best offensive minds ever and of the best offensive lines ever. They only gave up 9'sacks all year.
we were right up their overall and came up short. it's said but we can't let it get the best of us and any ravens team with a healthy Lamar will always be in contention.
Don't worry about your friends in ohio. They have never ever won anything
Additionally, Patrick Queen is live on Twitch playing Madden and at one point he said, "Running the ball is great... if you get what I mean."
Seems the players were very much wanting more run plays and wanting Lamar to scramble more. I don't know what happened.
