Regular season and playoff OT are different.
I'm aghast because the much despised Pats/NFL playground bully's are advancing to the Superbowl on the flip of a coin.
Taking all of Mahomes/Chiefs lunch money in the process.
Hate it when that happens...
You choose to see it that way. The Chiefs had every chance to stop them. They couldn't because they have a sucky defense. The game was in their hands to stop Brady and give Mahomes a shot, but they couldn't get it done. Defense is important. The team with the better defense won the game.
Forgive me, but I think there would be no ado if Mahomes had driven for a TD in overtime against the Pats. People are mostly angry because the outcome wasn't what they wanted.

The teams that win the most are still the ones with elite, experienced, big contract QB's. Brady, Rothlisburger, Brees, Rivers, etc. I think it is silly that people believe the best chance to win a championship is with a QB on a rookie deal. Certainly there are examples of that, but usually it is the elites that are winning.

Mahomes should get a $200 million contract at $40 million per season and $100 million upfront. And by age 29/30 he will sign another $300 million contract. I hope Josh Allen proves he’s worth this kind of $.
Wow. I guess we'll see in a few years. Lots can happen. Everyone thought Dak was the real deal after his first year and now people question that. Everyone thought RGIII was the real deal after one year.
If Mahomes can consistently do it, great for him and he'll get the big bucks. But consistency is the key. For all we know he could be battling injuries like a Sam Bradford a few years from now.

Yes the were slaps on the wrist with a wet noodle. Wins needed to be vacated, belichek and kraft suspended and kicked out of the league. The punishments were weak. 4 games and a late first to win multiple championships is a joke.
Ok. You're living in a dream land.

I hate how this exact same thread gets rehashed after every overtime game. Give it a rest already. The rules are fine. Find something else to be aghast about.

It would be good if the pats********* were actually punished for cheating instead of the slaps on the wrist they got.
Suspensions, fines, and lost draft picks were just slaps on the wrist? I think they got what they deserved. Brady missed 4 games. They lost a first round draft pick.

1000 colleges and the NFL are not going to survive on Texas high school football.
I disagree. I don't think football is going anywhere.

Why southern schools? Do you know of a difference that people in the south have about their children vs other parts of the country?
Yes. High school football is huge in the south. Nobody cares about it most places in the US.
-
This is overblown. Even if tons of schools stop having a football program, do you think any of those southern schools will stop? In many of those areas high school football is bigger than any other sport, including college and NFL football. They'll pay what it takes to keep the programs going, and have plenty of boosters and doners to ensure it.

I know 9-7 with a 1 and done playoff appearance hits the standard for a lot of people, but that's not ever going to be something that should actually move the needle. And I've never even blamed McDermott for the team's overall record in these 2 seasons. It's a rebuild on a team with holes, it would be unrealistic to expect the world so far. I would've judged him the same exact way if Dalton didn't complete that pass and we didn't make the playoffs, I wouldn't have taken anything away from him for that, just like I don't think that automatically wipes out anything negative about him.
So that being said...how does any of that change how bad he's been at managing games and in that instance, literally not knowing the implications of what the difference in a tie vs a win was for the team's playoff chances?
McDermott hasn't done any worse than any other coach in management of games. Watch literally any game and you will see "coaching blunders". In actuality it is just coaches trying things that fail. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't.
We just watched playoff games with "bad" coaching decisions. Sean Peyton mismanaged the clock, giving the Rams too much time left to come back and tie the game. Is he a bad coach? He has a Superbowl ring and history of winning football.
Arguably the best coach of all time, Bill Belichick, has made "blunders" too. I remember against the bills a couple seasons ago they were up big, but inexplicably kept passing the ball and going for it on fourth down, letting the Bills with Tyrod Taylor get back into the game. He's made other questionable decisions too. I will admit that he doesn't usually make mistakes, unlike MOST coaches.
Andy Reid is netorious for clock management issues, yet most agree he is a great coach.
And can you seriously use a comment made to the media as evidence of whether or not a coach is good? If that's the case, Bill Belichick is the worst coach in football. His press conferences are a joke. Nothing these guys say to the media means a thing.
And sorry, but getting to the playoffs in your first season is great and does move the needle, especially when the team hasn't been to the playoffs in 17 seasons. That means something, and if you don't think it does you are kidding yourself. You think it doesn't mean anything to the Pegulas?

Eh, I'd like to see the Bills on that at some point. It might be a distraction for the team and whatnot, but I am a selfish fan that would love to see more behind the scenes, get to know the players and coaches better, etc.

Which just happened to decide the game. The whole day was an embarrassment for all of us football fans imo. The uncalled multiple penalty in one, and the phantom roughing the passer call have tainted this postseason beyond all repair. We R Totally ***** and need more Hamberders

Did you just quote me in a response, then quote me again AND yourself in another response?

Then you're as blind and/or corrupt as the officials are.
Robey got away with a broad-daylight mugging. -Hogan did not catch that ball. -Brady didn't receive a blow anywhere near his head.
The officiating was outrageously biased.
There are missed things in every game. Hogan did catch the ball. If you are unbiased you would see that there is no way they can over turn that one. They correctly overturned his next catch. Robey Coleman play was a miss and roughing the passer on Brady was indeed a bad call (due to the refs having a bad angle), but for the most part they let the guys play and got calls right.
There are a bunch of butt hurt fans here that are incapable of watching a football game without bias.

come on, man. Really?
It was close, but far from the incontrovertible video evidence standard which IS the rule. Think the Bills would EVER get that call in 100 years?
That's what I thought at first too, until they showed both angles clearly showing that the ball did not touch with thumb. The thumbs we're the only part of his body that the ball could have touched. I believe the refs rightfully reversed the call. And believe me, I wish they hadn't because I hate the pats and hate Edelman particularly, and I am usually all for trashing on the refs.
6 hours ago, GunnerBill said:The worst miss was the OPI in the final Chiefs TD drive on the pick play.
I actually thought the Chiefs got the breaks from the officials in so much as there were any today and yet NE still found a way.
Yeah. There was definitely a measure of letting them play. I think they missed a blatant pick play by NE too. Both teams were running a lot of them.

The non-muff muff was a clean call?
Yes. After review it was pretty clear that the ball did not touch either of his hands or his arm. At game speed I thought the ball hit his arm, but replay showed that it didn't.
There was an angle that showed it didn't touch his right thumb and another angle that showed it didn't touch his left thumb. What is your case that it touched him?

I've liked plenty of good teams and good QB's over the years. I love Peyton Manning and his success with the Colts and the Broncos. I like Drew Brees.
The Pats? Hate them. You have a head coach with the personality of a cow pie, a guy who is constantly looking for loopholes in the rule book. You have a team that is involved in multiple scandals and is continually accused of cheating (spygate, deflategate, headset problems in their stadium, etc). You have a QB who is a huge cry baby, who treats his teammates like crap, who is a sore loser refusing to shake hands after a loss (and who knew about a cheating scandal to deflate balls). And then to top it off, you have an insufferable, entitled fanbase.
People hate them because they are not likeable. It isn't only because they win. They are the evil empire.

When McDermott basically tried to play for a tie against the Colts last season in the snow game, and punted on 4th and 1 from the Colts 40 in OT, and then essentially admitted after the game that he didn't know the implications of what a tie would've done to their playoff chances.
And then goes on to get his team into the playoffs with a team devoid of talent, a QB who can't pass the ball, in the first year of a rebuild, breaking the longest playoff drought in professional sports.

Very shady officiating in both games. The shield probably thinks more people will watch a Rams-Patsy matchup.
Bull. Those were some of the cleanest officiated games I've ever seen. They made some mistakes for sure, but they did a surprisingly good job.
On this particular play under question, definitely a missed PI. But plays like that are missed all the time.

Stop crying. The rule is absolutely fine. Play defense or you don't deserve to get the ball back.

Every major call went the Pats way.Looked like a cleanly officiated game to me except for the roughing the passer penalty for Brady.

Agreed. Besides, wouldn't the Saints be a more appealing national story than the Rams?
Personally, I've had it with replay. If you have to look at a play for 5 minutes from every possible angle, freeze framing it till it's as grainy as the Zapruder film, and then come back and say it was "clear and obvious" that the call on the field was wrong, well, then I don't know what "obvious" means. I know replay isn't going away for good, but instead of all the "no challenge needed" replays (scoring plays, inside 2 minutes, etc) I'd limit each coach to 2 a game, and I'd make literally everything reviewable, including whether a penalty was committed (the Robey-Coleman play). At least the pace of the game would improve, and coaches would be very judicious about using their challenges.
I'd make the officials watch it in real time. Review it all you want, but no slowing it down.

They had the better defense statistically.
I'm not willing to accept that without looking at the data. My guess is that teams have a slight advantage by getting the ball first, but that it is not significant. I'd have to see the data though.
