AFC and NFC Championship game thread

There are different ways to be aggressive. Running the clock for almost 4 minutes to start the drive and making it a must score drive is as aggressive as it gets.

I hate them but you have to hand it to the Chiefs.

 

[johnmd20]

Shut the fuck up Jim.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Pringle with a massive hold.

Huge and let McKinnon get another five yards

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Need a big play on D. Just one more.

I used to run at the Newton South track on weekends. There was a father who’d bring his two young kids and have them kick nerf field goals. One of the best ideas in parenting I’ve ever witnessed.

That is cool. Everyone wants to try when it comes up, but few think to just go do it when nobody’s around.

Well, @IdiotKicker maybe…

God we would kill Newton South. Now Newton North gave some pushback...

Mahomes getting applause for running behind the runner. Wow amazing so brave

 

[patinorange]

The defense had a noble run. But it didn’t last long enough.

 

[shawnrbu]

Should have used a timeout. Lost 39 seconds.

 

[mr_smith02]

What is taunting again?

A horrible NFL rule/penalty. They're grown men, they can handle it.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Should have used a timeout. Lost 39 seconds.

Awful coaching there.

 

[cshea]

One of those stops was at the end of the half tho.

Didn’t include that. 2nd half KC drives:

Punt
Punt
Pick (21-21)
Punt
Punt
Current drive

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Chiefs aren’t kicking unless they get to a fourth and 10 plus or something.

So, I think it’s likely the Bengals either get a turnover or they get the ball back with almost no time left down 4.

 

[luckiestman]

I’d love to ask the Bungles D coordinator how he lets Kelce get wide fucking open on 3&1.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nantz hates Kelce?

You know what he means is he hates Kelce and nantz equally.

 

[soxin6]

A horrible NFL rule/penalty. They're grown men, they can handle it.

True, but it is a rule that they only seem to call when they feel like it and it is never against the Chiefs.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Cincy should have tried to tackled him at the 9. Clock not their friend now.

 

[canderson]

Which is why you have to let KC score. There isn’t another viable option imo.

Kansas City: The Land of Contrails.

 

[McBride11]

Was that Steve Mariucci in some gambling commercial?

Mauf is salty because of the end of the half play.

 

[Al Zarilla]

There is that slow Mahomes again

 

[Ed Hillel]

Stupid by Mahomes

 

[Ale Xander]

If they get a first down without scoring they win

otherwise (either stop or quick TD, they lose)

 

[ifmanis5]

Wasted some time I guess.

 

[Ale Xander]

Trying too hard

 

[Ed Hillel]

He is hurt

 

[Harry Hooper]

Hendrickson with a bad angle.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Mauf is salty because of the end of the half play.

Oh, missed it.

 

[johnmd20]

Hendrickson with a bad angle.

Really bad.

 

[Leather]

Fuuuuck

 

[ngruz25]

This is a disaster for Cincy.

 

[Ale Xander]

Damn it

 

[mauidano]

Let them score.

 

[canderson]

Cincy handled this about as poorly as possible.

 

[johnmd20]

Worst case scenario now. Shucks.

 

[The Social Chair]

Frustrating

 

[Obscure Name]

Should've already let them score. No way they don't get a TD.

 

[johnmd20]

Cincy handled this about as poorly as possible.

They really did. Zach has made some weird choices today.

Romo sort of alluded to this, but definitely seems optimal to blitz every/almost every down

 

[mr_smith02]

True, but it is a rule that they only seem to call when they feel like it and it is never against the Chiefs.

One of the many, many reasons it is a foolish rule.

 

[patinorange]

Horrible coaching all game long.

 

[staz]

Paging Marshawn...

 

[ifmanis5]

Not stopping them and wasting time. Great combo.

 

[Dollar]

Going to need one of those ridiculous deflection INTs like Big Ben against the Pats a few years back.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Terrible spot on that Mahomes run, he was out at the LOS

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

They are so good situationally.

 

[ngruz25]

Welp, decision time is now.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Was that Steve Mariucci in some gambling commercial?

I believe they are gamble responsibly spots.

 

[slamminsammya]

cinci is thrilled they burned a timeout on a first down with the ball and 8 minutes left

 

[Helmet Head]

If Mahomes keeps doing these little turnarounds in the pocket, a d lineman is going to be there to destroy him one of these times and it may be ugly
