Team 1 controls it's own destiny. Team 2 does not. Optimal strategy would be to get the ball first, try to score a touchdown and 2 point conversion. Which is the exact same goal as team 2. The only difference is that Team 1 would get the 3rd possession.

+1 to this For all the folks referencing the "advantage" of going second and being able to go for it on 4th down and go for the 2 point conversions. How is that an advantage is the team that goes first can do those things as well (and probably should)?

Is Crowder expected to go for 12M?? I’d be shocked if he signed for that much.

Well that was a ride.

I personally loved this strategy. I would guess that 9/10 possessions for the Titans started at or before the 25. The lone exception being the one in the 4th quarter.

The first three games for both the Bills and the Chiefs have high quality and high importance. Should be a good tone setter for the season!

Yeaaa baby

If Ertz takes the 2020 targets from John Brown, Knox, Kroft & Smith, that's 110+ targets that would otherwise be going to lesser receivers in 2021. I don't see how that isn't an upgrade for us this year.

👆🏻 Stage matters, this was huge and was much needed in that game.

Regardless, that’s why you would give up peanuts in a trade for him. All it takes is 1 other team and we’re left with a bad TE group in 2021. Plus, with waivers it doesn’t matter if Ertz is interested or not.

Because 30 other teams could sign him either via waivers or FA if he's cut.

I get it, but that was also one of the greatest plays in NFL history from a pure athleticism and odds standpoint. I don’t blame them for putting it on a pedestal.

Reliability has to count for something though.

Agree with this, but Sammy doesn't belong in this sentence. Mahomes has been good with and without him in the lineup.
