Bass’s missed XP

[fasteddie]

I think it's disappointing that 80% of the fans in the stadium have no idea that the kick was good or no good. Just because Bass is such a baby that he doesn't want the video screen showing the kick. If he is looking at the screen while he is kicking, he needs to work on his concentration. Then it kills me that they turned the screen off for the KC kicker. WTF!

If that is true McD's gut must align with analytics very consistently. Because over 5 years he is top 5 of going with the numbers.

 

Seems like McDermott has gotten more aggressive.   McD seems to be getting to Dan Campbell territory.

The miss Gives the coaching staff the confidence to go for it on 4th downs and for 2 if needed?

He has been aggressive since 2020. Particularly on 4th downs. And the numbers support that

Who is doing the long snapping now?  I noticed the the snaps being high, which imo seem like it is affecting bass' rythem

Yeah, the delay of game thing is weird to me.  Why is there not a huge red light like an NBA shot clock?  Either the light is on or it's not.

In both cases, why not have a horn go off when time is up?  You know, like an alarm clock.

unfortunately the league is too poor to use technological devices for extra points. They can't even afford to pay cheerleaders

What if instead of a horn, they had the QB on a shock collar?

wind concerns?  But they should be.  Or cameras and technology need to be used to review these close ones that happen every week 

Magnesium would lighten them and be rigid enough to stand in the wind if Aluminum isn’t already.. I think this is more of a “we’ve always done it this way” thing.

They were always gonna go for it. Mahomes marched down the field to make it 23-21. You gonna go up by 5 and give Mahomes the ball back with two timeouts and a couple of minutes of clock?
 

You know how that story ends. 

 

Interception of Mahones?

Your alarm clock has a horn?

Rugby already uses carbon fiber goal posts and they go very high, 40'.

Plenty of times, explain the Bass is a baby comment

He cried to Beane that the video screen was a distraction while he was kicking. So now, the fans who sit in the sideline seats have no clue if a kick was down the middle or shanked until they get home and see it on the highlights.

There are hundreds of kickers who can kick it down the middle while the screen is showing live video. Why can't Bass?

Why can't they show it right after?

Sounds like some ‘high level meetings’ you’ve been a part of in order to be privy of such information.

 

Or it’s a complete fabrication.

Better question is why didn't they go for two at any point to try and get the point back?   

 

That's normally what teams do... especially against the Chief's where a FG could've won the game for KC if Allen didn't score.

 

They were up 16-14 at half.  The last 2 TDs did not need a 2 point conversion.  2 score game makes it more valuable to kick with a higher percentage than a 2 point conversion.
