Don’t really care if you believe it or not. Both Josh and Torrence said they expected the pressure from the left and adjusted protection to account for it. Then Spags made a brilliant call to bring two guys on the blitz from the opposite side. Shakir would have been the hot read but that didn’t become possible based on how the play evolved. Josh made an incredible play to get the ball out as far as he did, and Kincaid has to catch that ball.

Torrence talked about it today. Based on film study they expected pressure coming from the left and protection was moved to the left. And Spagnolo fooled them and brought pressure from the right. Sometimes it is not what you did wrong but what the other guy did right.

It was a brilliant defensive call

I think Brady is OK, but if a change were made Peterson would be a good choice. I saw McD and Babich change from the historical zone concept this year; lot more man. I think we need some more athleticism on the back end and more pass rush. I could see Mack being here nrext year, or if I’m Beane I find out what it takes to get Garrett or Parsons. I think the hardest thing in sports is figuring out who will or will not be a great head guy in whatever sport you want to name. More times than not you elevate a really good coordinator, but what is needed for a good coordinator doesn’t necessarily match that needed to be a great head coach.

Enough about Torrence. As has now been said numerous times the protection was shifted to the left. So Torrence is looking for guys coming from that side. Then at the snap 2 DBs take off downhill from his right. The video shows he sees it but too late to get back to pick the guy up. It was a brilliant call by Spagnolo.

The Chiefs win because in these close games guys always do their jobs and they do not make mistakes. That may or may not be coaching -I think it’s a big part of it - but that’s what wins these close games.

Love Josh as we all do. To me he is better physically at playing QB than Mahomes. But Mahomes is better at reading defenses and pre-snap adjustments. Mahomes is right there with Brady on that. Put it this way: on our last 4th down play Josh said he should have adjusted protection. I’d bet Mahomes reads that and checks to a successful play .

Dianna Russian from the Athletic reported that through her sources he has no interest

Because they play as close to perfect football in the playoffs as possible

We’ll be right in the thick of it again next year. Got to keep banging on the door till it opens.

People rag on Miller but he was playing great a couple years ago till he tore his ACL. But his time here now is done; we save around 8 million in cap space I think if we move on.

Lot of irrational posting today because of the high emotions. This sucks. I've been a fan since opening day 1960 and this sucks as much as the SB years to me. But you have to keep banging on the door till it opens.

No I will not get out of here. Changing coaches is a crap shoot.

Be prepared for regression then. Again, if McD has lost the locker room make a change. I get that. Other than Belicheat the only guy on your list that's won a SB was Payton and he won just one with a first ballot HOFer in Brees. The others are McDermott, have won a lot but not gotten a Lombardi yet.

The outlet was Shakir on the left side. Spags made a great blitz call there.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories as a general rule

I predict the Chiefs will win because Reid and Spags will completely outcoach the Eagles staff. And if they do the Chiefs will be there with the great teams like the Pats with Brady, Packers with Lombardi, the 70's Steelers and the 80's Niners.

What is unrealistic and emotional is the idea that Josh would call that kind of presser. You know that so why are you demanding it?

He wasn't rushed back since an independent neurologist makes that call.

Not sure what you mean.

It hurts a lot more now when we get knocked out. But it's still a helluva lot better than to not make the playoffs at all.

I believe Josh in the post-game talked about how he shifted protections to the left on that last play. Spags made a great call to disguise what he was doing and brought the pressure from the other side. So there were three guys crashing in from the right, Torrence was looking left. Even if Torrence gets out to get one guy, there is a guy running free right at Josh, so it would have made it difficult if not impossible to go to Shakir. And even with all that, Kincaid has to catch the ball.

It hurt. I thought Bishop played OK as did Hamlin. Kelce wasn't really a factor. I am surprised they didn't put Ingram in for Elam.

But we had a shot and the Browns didn't. Don't know why that's not apparent to you.

I agree. I was speaking in the theoretical. People always think the grass will be greener, but more times than not it's brown. That said, we need an infusion of talent on both sides of the ball. Depends on the circumstance
