Game Theory and how Situational Game Awareness continues to be the achilles heel (Update: Bengals used a similar formation to defeat KC)

The Bengals won today by (nearly, similarly) copying my defensive gameplan listed above.

 

Instead of 2 DL and dropping 9 back, the Bengals employed 3 DL and dropped 8 back, with (I believe) the occasional 9th defender behind the LB POA.

 

It held the Chiefs to 3 points in the second half.

Good call! Really sad we couldn’t figure that out but it’s going to be interesting to see how other teams employ a similar strategy next season.

The thing that sticks out about Chiefs game today was did Mahomes really didn’t know he had no timeouts left at end of half?  Or is he just posing for the cameras saving face when he signaled for timeout?  I find it extremely hard to believe the situation wasn’t discussed.  Either Mahomes wasn’t aware or the Chiefs coaching staff are incompetent.  Both are bad looks for them.

Name another game that has been blown with 13 seconds on the clock like that?  
 

The coaches completely laid an egg here and need to own it. Squib the kickoff and you leave one play for Mahomes.  Even after that, rush 3, drop 8 into your normal 2 deep shell and you don’t give up those two plays to get in field goal range.

 

‘No point in rushing 4 and dropping 7 in prevent protecting the sidelines when they have 3 time outs leaving the middle wide open for Kelce.
 

Feel awful for Allen, he played his guts out and deserved to win so badly.

How much time was left in the Cardinals game?

 

Edit. Just over 30.
