Disagree. He was bad in the regular season. Cost us the Eagles and Patriots (first matchup) games. Against the Steelers he was even worse. The KC game wasn’t as bad because even if he made that kick, we probably still lose based on how much time was left. That was carpenter

I think we need to move on from Bass while we can without actually hurting us in games. That means drafting a kicker. Take the cap hit. Can’t go into The season with a terrible kicker with the yips. You’re only as good as your last season IMO

If you’re going against Patrick Mahomes you don’t do that.

Patrick Mahomes said if they won the toss they would have kicked the ball first.

I think you’re thinking Matt Barkley

Ok. Well the way I’m arguing against didn’t pan out so not sure why you’re vehemently against having kicked it instead.

It’s not even about Pat. I would hate his family being in the bills stadium week in and week out. Jackson in particular sucks. And Brittany thinks she’s hot crap when she’s really a steaming pile of dung. If Josh were paired with Reid, arguably the greatest offensive mind ever, the roles would be reversed. I really wished we could have gotten Harbaugh in here because I think he would have been perfect for Josh.

I understand your sentiment. But tbh, there weren’t a ton of drives that ended in scores yesterday. So the defenses definitely had the upper hand most of the game to make me want to kick it. That being said, Pat Mahomes is on the other sideline. It’s hard enough to stop him on three downs, four downs is borderline impossible. I would much rather take the ball second, because if the chiefs score a TD, I’m going for a TD and a 2-pt conversion to end it so I don’t give it back. If the chiefs score a FG, I’m still going for a TD, unless it’s fourth and forever, to end the game and not give it back to their offense.

Curious how many OT games actually get to a third possession

That is absurd thinking in my opinion

Even if you receive first, then score a TD, the other team will get the ball too. Why would you take the ball first?

I’d take a deal with the devil if that yielded us one SB, let alone 6

I have no idea why any coach would take the ball first in overtime in the playoffs. If your defense is supposedly that good and you trust them to get a stop, kick it. Let them get the stop, force a punt and get better field position and higher chances for getting the requisite yards for a FG If your defense stinks and will just allow a TD anyways, you know exactly what you need on offense and have four downs per set of downs to achieve it. Plus if you do score a TD, and your defense stinks, just go for 2 and win the game with your offense and don’t give the other team another chance once it goes to sudden death. It doesn’t seem like a cosmic idea to me. What do I know.

Chiefs will win. I will refuse to listen to any sports radio until the draft

Are the niners content with giving up the FG?

Blitz was stupid there.

Moody gives me almost zero confidence.

You can’t overturn that

All these gimmicks are figured out.

Agree. This was discussed in a thread earlier this year. If you take the ball second, and the opponent scores, you know exactly what you need and have four downs per series. Benefit of kicking first is if you do get a stop, next score wins. It’s not that hard

Purdy is so limited.

Missed the earlier conversation. I understand the sentiments of the defense failing Josh in 13 seconds. But Mahomes also won that game. So you gotta give credit to him there. This past bills chiefs game, I definitely thought josh played better than Mahomes. Our defense was just too beat up. But in the end, all that people will look at is who won and who lost the game. All the minute details will be forgotten by most next season.

I don’t think anyone, outside of Baltimore fans, would rather have Lamar as their QB than Josh. To me it’s pretty clear that Josh is the second best QB in the nfl behind Mahomes. Once Josh starts beating Mahomes in playoffs and getting some hardware we can reevaluate that comparison. But Lamar belongs nowhere near this conversation

Obviously not nearly as big as these, but the game Lindell missed on a wide right against Cleveland (I think it was probably 2008) was a pretty brutal way to lose that game as well. Agree. That was just plain stupidity from a strategy standpoint and players not thinking and acting on their own realizing the strategy is stupid. That loss is still so frustrating today. Unbillievable

Agree. When writers reference pro bowls as credentials for HOF consideration, I find it completely bogus. All-Pro is the only thing that means anything outside of SB wins and individual statistics.
