Smart move they can only tie with a touchdown unless they do for 2. No reason to let them win with a TD

The FG is fine. The conservative calls to kill clock before that were terrible.

[Niagara Dude]

I would blitz on every play

Why the hell are you in shotgun on that 3rd down play?!

Because it give Josh the option to give it the running back or running himself. The D end played perfectly

I know. But if you get two yards with the best QB in the planet, the game is over.

 

He continues to trust his defence over his elite QB in big moments 

Dumb

That is being cute. Since when is the safe FG the over thinking and cute option? 

He was calling the 3rd down call a cute play. Not the field goal. 

[Buffalo Boy]

Put Hollins in on D

[L Ron Burgundy]

Let them score!  Lol.  Then maybe we stop the conversion and get the ball back!!  4d chess!

 

I'm joking.  Blitz the ever loving he'll outta Lamar.  Get Bishop out.  Throw a backup cb there.

[Blank Stare]

Stay aggressive on defense!

[Rew]

Third down play would likely have failed with push.  Ravens were all in to stop it.  Play should have gone outside.

[Irish Dave]

The sad truth is we couldn’t punch it in; would’ve been up 11 points 

[Chaos]

kick it out of the endzone

[boyst]

Huge block in the back and push down

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

Why was he in the gun though? Why not just scrum forward for two yards?

I'm not mad about the FG...

 

But I am about the 3rd down play...

 

Agreed.

 

Once you’re in 4th and 2 you basically have to kick it.

 

3rd down should have been a tush-push to the 1 yard line or endzone.

 

Then do it again.

[Rich Stadium Original]

Would it have been worth the challenge for the spot on the 1st Allen run to the 1

..thought it was a bad spot at the 2, and lead to a completely different type of play call on 3rd

Defense has to WIN A GAME.

 

That would be good for our confidence for a title.

 

Agreed.  This is why KC has won 3 SBs.  It hasn't been all Mahomes.  Sometimes you have to find a way to win ugly.

I said D needs two stops. They had one. This one would end it

 

 

What makes that harder is that it's full 4 down territory on every set of downs.

[BuffaloBill]

Huge D stand here!!!!!

 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Block in teh back?

If you make it, the worst they can do is TIE on a two point conversion and they have no timeouts left. 

They have 1 left
