Why didn't they hold?

[Joe Ferguson]

It's only a 5 yard penalty and takes time off the clock! Another blunder by the coaching staff on the infamous 13 seconds left fiasco.

Squib kick to run 3-4 seconds off and then literally tackle every Chief receiver on the first play...5 yard penalty but Chiefs are down to one play from their 30ish yard line.  Inexcusable to lose a game like that.

Was there a worse way to lose?

This loophole was closed in 2017. This strategy now resets the clock to where it was before the play.

I feel really bad for Allen's parents who were celebrating in the press box with 13 secs.  Someone needs to be fired for the stupidity,  Sean all but admitted they screwed up. Squib kick= 4-5 secs at least and then just tackle Hill and Kelce

 

We need to stop just saying we will get them next year,  get rid of Frazier because he is a loser and this #1 defence is fake news

[Bookie Man]

That’s what literally everyone in the bills bar was saying. Hold them, don’t let them off the line. It made no sense no to do it.

How is that even enforceable?  So every defensive hold resets the game clock.  How much time is left when this rule kicks in?

Maybe another team will make the decision for the Bills.  We also don’t know how much McD influenced the late defensive calls.  Romo  was right questioning why they were rushing four.  Even with that, you have 5 O-linemen plus Mahomes, leaving 5 receivers.  The Bills had 7 defending the pass.  How do you not double Kelce, who had 2 big catches on that late FG drive?

If there is, we will find it next year

I want Terry to ask him to fire Frazier, enough with this pathetic soft zone defence

If they were going to rush 4 they just should have blitzed to force the ball out quick and make a tackle.  

 

I mean I would have rushed 1 and dropped everyone into coverage...and maybe have it be a slot corner blitz so he gets quick pressure

I think you can do it once in a game, but if you do it a second time then the restored game clock comes into play.

Of course, Mahomes could’ve then run it and got a bunch of yards, which would’ve taken time off clock.  Just a tough team to defend and IIRC they still had all 3 timeouts.

13 seconds.  It is almost impossible to let KC do what they did.  Epic coaching failure.

Not with all 3 time outs.  They only had to go 40 yards. It was a 49 yard kick.

 

5 seconds each play.  Called TO with 3 seconds left.  They made plays of 19 and 25 yards. 

 

Why it's so important to not squander time outs earlier
