… like(for instance) throwing into double coverage. Or failing to get a play off before the 2-minute warning. Or dozens of other things that contributed. Had those mistakes not been made, this last one would not be remembered.
But as Jim said, it is pretty easy to avoid mistakes from the couch.
It was a bad mistake at a bad time, but no more. There’s no guarantee the Chiefs miss the 55 yard FG, although making it was less likely, and there’s no guarantee the Bengals win in OT if the kick is missed.
I feel bad for the guy because he’ll get all of the blame and he absolutely does not deserve it.
With regard to mistakes made, I don’t equate drawing a penalty by hitting a guy that is out of bounds with a poorly executed pass.
Of course not. You never played. You are in my view a fan on a couch sitting in judgment of something you never did.
I was on a recliner, dammit.
There is a reason that guy was bawling at the end of the game and it wasn’t because of the 2 minute warning or because the quarterback threw into double coverage. He knew it.
Not getting the play off before the warning was intended, or so I thought. They had plenty of time to get into field goal range and didn’t want to leave KC much time if they had to punt. That move almost payed off.
HH, did you commission this?
I don’t know what “this” is. I don’t twitter.
The REAL center of the Great NFL Conspiracy is a little known confluence of Q-Anon and the Illuminati.
The Q-minati.

I’m driving talent for the NFL Network again this year. If I see anything cool I’ll post some dispatches. Got to check out media day for bit.
Did Rex Ryan win the naming rights for that arena?
“We need you to drop Michael Irvin at footprint tonight and wait there until he’s done.”
“Wait, where?”
This doesn’t seem good:
I wonder how great a difference that is compared to other occupations; like, bull rider, or boxer, or pro-wrestler, or school lunch-lady. I’m looking forward to the time when they can test for that on living patients, I understand that time might be close at hand.
I’d guess boxer is on the same level
Obviously brain damage amongst boxers is a thing (punch drunk), but I think the thing that makes football different is the helmet. It protects the wearer from the immediate effects of the impact, but the brain is still banging around inside the skull and it is the accumulation of this impacts that is believed to be the reason why so many players show signs of CTE.
I have ADHD, Asperger’s, and have had 4 concussions. That’s my excuse when I often appear to be an idiot.
