Flowers doesn't fumble away that TD it's entirely possible the game goes a lot different. Chiefs defense is good and you have to come away with points when you get your chances. Ask me how I know.
There's some luck involved in making the SB and as much as I hate to play that card we just haven't been very lucky when it comes to injuries going into the playoffs the last two years. The list is just insane. Let's take just two names. Say Miller and White and have them be completely healthy the last two years. What a difference it could make.
Yes you mentioned that already. You have a case for the defense getting dominated. Our offense did virtually the same thing to their defense. Bass makes that kick and somehow the defense hangs on and everyone is saying we dominated them. Our offense was straight up bullying them most of the game.
No doubt our outside WR's didn't do much against the Chiefs. I see what you are saying but I don't totally agree. Cook, Shakir, and Kincaid all made plays. We needed Benford and Bernard on defense. That's where we needed just a few more plays.
Raven's could be leading this game if they'd stop turning the ball over. Kind of too late now but the pick and Flowers fumble are absolutely the difference right now.
..... because if you have a fast 40 time you will be a great WR? So many great receivers that have nothing to do with being picked in the first round or running a 4.2 40. Everyone trying to Moneyball their way to a SB. Ironically the GM in Moneyball is named Beane.
