Worst of all, they fucked up and seemed to have a solution, just add a few ticks back to balance the running clock. No harm, no foul.
All told it cost the Bengals 6 yards and will be forgotten now, but that was a terrible look.
Andthat’s a play AFTER they had the stadium operator run the game clock after the ready to play even though the prior play was an incomplete pass!
Why? The ball was being snapped. Add a few seconds after. Or don’t. But don’t blow the play dead from 30 yards away as the ball is being snapped.
Utter garbage
People saying Mahomes is better than Brady will say poor Mahomes only has two star receivers this game
Alternative take. It was part of the cabal to give KC a do over if they didn't get the first down on the first try. Then they gave them a do over on the 2nd try with the flag after a huge sack.
And then they couldn't do anything with the 3rd try because it was a poor pass.
But they are still lurking. Vince McMahon is on the premises.
He has an awesome moment in the 2018 AFCCG when Romo says “if the safety goes here, the ball goes to Gronk in the seam.“ It was an absolutely perfect prediction of what happened. That seems like 1000 years ago now though.
You always go into a game hoping to see something you’ve never seen before, unless it’s some procedural bullshit.
NFL got lucky there.
NFL got lucky there.
Completely agree. I have huge respect for Zac Taylor and the culture he’s built.
It was the same play. The sequence was:
Incomplete pass.
Line judge stops the play clock with 10 seconds left to come move the ball half a yard inexplicably.
Referee forgets previous play was incomplete, and winds both clocks.
Side judge realizes the error and tries to kill the play, play appears for all to be run.
Side judge tells Referee he blew the whistle before the play.
No. When they reset the ball because it moved a foot, Torbert said to the clock operator to change the play clock to 10 from 9, then said the play clock and the game clock would wind on his signal. The Chiefs snapped the ball like two seconds after he winded the clock. so for two seconds the booth thought they had to stop the play.
Torbert must have thought the clock had been running on the prior play and forgot it was an incomplete pass.
You would like to think if KC had converted the first down, they would have done the same thing.
This. If the clock is wrong then fix it later. It doesn't affect the play unless it's at or below two minutes.
Again, they haven't called the 780 holds against ANY teams in the playoffs leading up to this game.
But Cinncy is getting flagged for it multiple times.
Exactly, instead of trying to stop the play basically at the snap, how about just adjusting the clock after the play? There was 10 minutes left, you aren't down near 0:00 or anything.
