Nklaiste1 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It was bad but we technically got bailed out when KC fumbled the ball on the goal line. 1 Quote
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I’m in the rock pile and said to my friend, you know what would be hilarious and make the internet go crazy? A fake punt to DeMar. And they actually called it. can’t call McDermott conservative and get mad when he gets aggressive. It was an insane move and it didn’t affect the end result. But insane Quote
pigpen65 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 That was so ***** stupid........just so ***** stupid. Pure luck that it didn't end up costing them but just so ***** stupid 1 Quote

stevestojan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: Wow. Well then it was just a terribly designed or terribly executed fake punt. Or both. I bet they practiced that with Damar all week. If it had worked and led to a score, it would have been national news as the feel good story of the decade. And if that’s even 1% true - that McD did it as some sort of nod to Hamlin - he needs his head examined. 2 Quote
JerseyBills Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Still got the ball back on the 20, luckily The 3 plays that stick out are the Sherfield and Diggs drops and Bass miss Quote

Not at the table Karlos Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I wanted to go for it there but a fake punt wasn’t the way to do it. That was idiotic. Done with this coaching staff. 1 Quote
SirAndrew Posted January 22 Posted January 22 It was bad, but not as bad as everyone thinks. Martin couldn’t kick the ball more than twenty yards anyway. Martin kicking in this game is one of the most underrated coaching blunders of this game. Sending Martin out there clearly injured was ridiculous. The defense was bad, but field position does make a difference. At the very least, a couple longer punts would have run more clock, forcing KC into longer drives. 1 Quote
BillMafia716ix Posted January 22 Posted January 22 They had the wrong guy running the ball on the fake punt. I wasn’t expecting it and the Chiefs weren’t either. The play was just ran poorly. That point in the game McDermott had zero faith in the defense to get a stop. Quote
Donuts and Doritos Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Chiefs only had 10 on the field, quick call bc they saw an opportunity. We want McD to be aggressive especially in games like this. I had more a problem with the execution than the decision. I put this on the special teams coach, his unit has underperformed all year. 1 Quote
Doc Brown Posted January 22 Posted January 22 The Chiefs were prepared for it because I could pry punt farther than Martin given his hamstring injury. Combine that with poor execution and that's what you get. Wasn't a fan of the call but will admit I'd call it genius if it worked. Quote
peterpan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Some people will never be happy. Our D couldn’t stop them at all. So he goes for it on 4th down. Which is what this board has been begging for for years. 1 1 Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 7 hours ago, HappyDays said: Yeah he thought he was creating a storybook moment with Hamlin getting the 1st down. Unfortunately in the real world that doesn't work. Should have just kept the ball in Josh's hands and trusted him to make a play. But our head coach regularly has these brain freeze moments in critical situations. Should have had the players run in a circle while huddling. That would have further confused (?) KC. 🤨 Quote
since79 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Martin playing with what I heard was a torn hamstring. This play was in the works I'm sure all week, which makes it more pathetic. The other punt he had, they had to kick it because they were deep in our own end. The punt went nowhere. Mistake was having him in the game in the first place. 1 Quote

Unfortunately you have to punt it in that situation but our punter was also 50% out there which is another head scratcher. Guy shanking punts left and right Quote
