They haven't played their best ball and they've beaten 3 pretty good teams, I'm very impressed tbh

I guess we'll see how everything pans out, but the Bengals are 0-2 and got smoked by the hapless Pats, the Ravens are 1-2 and now the Falcons are 1-2 and seem like they are headed for a .500 season.

The first photo isn't from last week. They played the Bengals last week but I know the play from that game that you intended and it most definitely was PI. 

 

But so was the 2nd photo. Complete blown call. No idea how that isn't flagged.

Bad call, but on third and 4th and short, ATL chose to run the worst, lowest percentage plays in the game. They deserved to lose.

Yup exactly. Hate to make the comparison but reminds me of Brady’s Patriot teams. Always seemed like they were beatable yet rarely were they.

Yeah

 

People acting like Mahomes is going to carry a 1-1 TD- turnover ratio the whole season

 

They're unfortunately still class of the league

From the Bills playoff game last year to these 3 games: Chiefs just seem lucky not good.... but they keep winning.... it's crazy

I hate when teams run those plays on 4th down

Me too, but to be fair if allgier had eye balls and makes a simple block, Bijan goes for at least 5 yards

Cousins can’t sneak. The Jets will lose a game because of this too

Then put in Penix. The qb sneak is the highest percentage play in that situation.

You don't need anymore games to know that Raheem Morris isn't head coach material. Let's be honest, they should be 0-3. And everyone can see it's the coaching before anything else.

 

Really? I hated the last two play calls - if you are running on 3rd down run it wil Bijan not Allgeirs and then a 4th down play that asks Allgeirs to make the key block is dumb (no surprise he whiffed). But overall I don't think Morris was the problem (albeit I haven't seen the whole game) and week 1 was all about Kirk being rusty as hell.

I mean we did get a penalty on a game winning miss vs the Broncos.  

[Big Blitz]

Xavier Worthy stinks.

It's a good comparison. Brady and Co often started off slow, even looking awful and sometimes getting blown out.

 

But when it mattered they were dialed in

They did run two bad plays, but that does not even come close to excusing the call.

Oh I said good teams

You have Bijan - you put that ball in halfback dive with a fullback and get a yard.  A stretch outside when you haven’t been getting much push out there on 4th and 1?

 

so bad

Yeah.  You need to go North/South not East/West on 4th and inches.  Horrible call.

[BuffaloRebound]

When you have a QB that can’t move, these short yardage play calls aren’t easy. We are spoiled with Josh.  Not sure what the play caller can do there.  Extremely annoying that KC always makes the winning plays.  

[H2o]

Rashee Rice better enjoy it while he can. Diddy, R. Kelly, and Subway Jared are waiting for him.

To me it's higher percentage to just put Penix in and do a tush push, twice if necessary

The head coach owns his OC's play calls in that situation. Ultimately it all falls on him.

[Success]

Sports is so psychological.

 

People have brought it up - but this is just how the Pats were.  Teams psyched themselves out against the Pats almost every time.  They got too cute, and over-thought everything.  That's KC now.  

 

It's icky, but it's real.
