What was that?

Wow Tua if the first read isn't there gets shaky

Brady or Manning drives their team down field, burns the entire clock and gets 3 or 7 and chokes the life out of the D 90% of the time.

Only question is do the Dolphins go for 2?

What a stupid play call

Bills have Josh Allen

Watching this makes me appreciate the Bills even more. Chiefs are scared on offense and special teams. Making mistakes, playing tight.

3rd and 26 Perfect time for illegal contact

Chiefs D has no answers anymore. It's a fait accompli at this point.

15 or 20 years ago a 10 point lead meant the game was over. 21 points in today's game is nothing for a top team to overcome

There's the difference. Tuas WR catch everything.

A good 5-6 minute drive ending in a TD is what KC needs

It was pretty dumb I'll give you that. Don't give the refs an opening.

Refs will always, always step in with the backbreaking penalty to help whoever is behind. This game is over. Chiefs are going to play scared and hope to survive from here on out.

Refs step in. Remember that thread about every time there's a 3rd down step?

Right there with you

I really hope not but given enough chances that offense will get their annoying little track plays for a cheap TD

Was there ever any doubt? LMFAO You can see this stuff coming 1000 miles away.

Chiefs will try to hang on now but Dolphins are 100% tying this one up Let's see what happens. We're at the part of the game where the team behind has all the momentum It's just a matter of the clock now

Refs: is there anything we can do here?

Yes, and I agree that it's ruining the game. If any team (not just the Bills) make a 3rd or especially 4th down stop in a big moment there's a flag seemingly 3/4 of the time to extend the drive. Between illegal contact, defensive holding, or pass interference there's always a call there to get made and the WR will flip out and spastically scream for a flag as the crowd is going nuts and you just know it's going to be thrown. Which is why you have to do everything possible to take it out of the refs hands at the end of the game. Make sure you're up by 9+ points when the opponent has their final drive or You're playing against them and the refs

Rodgers, Cousins and White all looked totally normal in terms of the play itself and how they were moving right before it happened.

how about that Giants guy wiping out our starting RT with a blindside hit way after the whistle? I've wondered this too... There's tons of stories about past guys playing with torn or partially torn ACL's and just wearing braces. Guys used to be more reckless and gave zero F's whereas now they are a lot smarter and think longer term about keeping their bodies healthy for a longer career vs. just playing through anything. Either way, you're not playing with a torn achilles though. It seems those are suddenly a thing, but maybe it's bad luck.

I freaking LOVE the Linval Joseph signing! He is a real life version of a guy I would create in Madden as a DT. Also love that he's coming in totally fresh for the stretch run. Shows he is incredibly smart too. Not that injuries can't happen later in the season, but he didn't go down with some nagging injury in week 3 or 4 in a game nobody is going to remember or care about come January. The man is 100% in early November and ready to contribute when it matters most.

I've had the same thoughts and wondered if it was just me. So many star players out for the season before Thanksgiving even hits. Where it really hurts is the playoffs, where it's supposed to be stars vs stars. Like many here, I've watched way too many hours of football for decades, and it just SEEMS (although I haven't done in-depth research) like there are far more season-ending type injuries now than ever before. Especially achilles. It's like every week someone tears it and is done for the year. You know it's bad when they preview primetime games and show a picture of a star player for each team (almost always 2 QBs) and instead it's a WR and a DL. Nothing against those guys, but you know what I'm getting at. It's not Rodgers vs Tua, it's Tua vs Breece Hall. That type of thing. All of those Brady vs Manning or Rodgers vs Manning games. Imagine if those guys missed and it was Brady vs Brissett or Manning vs whoever Rodgers backup used to be. It's just not the same games. Takes a lot of the enjoyment and intrigue out of it. It's interesting that injuries decrease as the year goes on. Then again, the number of achilles injuries is just odd. Is it not being flexible enough, or just plain bad luck? They almost never look bad at the time they happen, just routine tackles or non-contact injuries.
