Chiefs vs Lions NFL Opener

[Bob Jones]

All of a sudden the Lions D looks like garbage. Sigh

Weren't they short on the holding play?  Why wouldn't they decline it and get the ball back?

 

Because it would’ve been 4th and 1 near midfield and punting would he horrendous 

[HappyDays]

KC constantly runs stick routes in the end zone that end up wide open, it's insane.

It ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught.

But how? It's obvious AF

[MasterStrategist]

This is a joke.  Jawan Taylor is either lined up 2 yards in the backfield (which should be a penalty) OR is false starting on almost every play during that drive.

 

Refs will start calling in 2nd half, I'll predict.  It's too obvious and they'll get notified.

[JaCrispy]

Why did the Lions accept the penalty instead of making KC punt on 4th down? 
 

HC was out to lunch- you never give Mahomes a 2nd chance…

[Scott7975]

Its just too damn easy for Mahomes man. Guys wide open everywhere. All day to throw. I hate this team.

Hutch is a beast

Any other teams he's drawing penalties or getting doubled.  Or the OG blocking him is actually getting called for a false start.

I think the Lions have one playoff win in the last 65 years. God bless them. The scars should help prevent too much pain. 

[Johnnycage46]

Well that was fun.  This game is over. 

[Aussie Joe]

KC -4 looking good

Absolutely hate ‘em. All freaking day to throw the ball.  False start every single play.  Holding galore.

EVERYONE always wide open in Andy Reid’s offense. 

When the ol holds and false starts every play that's going to happen 

[DapperCam]

Two deep passes on that drive should have been picked off. If the Chiefs play this way all year they aren’t getting the #1 seed.

KC might have went for it. Terrible D by the lions on back to back plays there.

[Bookie Man]

Why zone from the 5?

I imagine the chiefs would have gone for it 

[K D]

It was going to be 4th down? Why did they take the penalty?? That cost them 7 points and that's the game folks

[Roundybout]

Also that’s bad coaching, I would have called a timeout after the second big pass play 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

After the Draft I said that I liked the Lions draft. 

 

But I knew then that passing on Jaxon Smith-Ngijba for Jack Campbell then would leave them paper thin at WR even then because of the Jameson Williams suspension and losing Chark in FA.

 

They should have gone all-in on offense, even if they keep Gibbs as their first pick, potentially it could have been Gibbs-Smith-Ngijba-Mike Mayer added to their offense.
