KC has started off hot the last two games. First 5 possessions vs. Buffalo they scored. Then last 3 nothing. KC scored on 3 of the first 5 possessions vs. ravens. Then nothing the last 6. That’s the issue to me why i said the chiefs offense will keep the niners in the game. And if chiefs only score between 17-24 then they better turn the niners and purdy over. Cause if Brock and Sf don’t turn the ball over then i think the chiefs are playing a dangerous game. Reminds me of the eagles vs. chiefs. Chiefs defense eventually got burned cause it’s hard to keep a good offense down if the chiefs don’t keep putting points on the board. as the chiefs offense wasn’t able to continue drives and put up points. Eventually the damn is gonna break.

I am still taking KC 27-23. But i think they are playing with fire if they don’t get to 27+ points. if chiefs are scoring somewhere between 17-24 points then i can see the niners pulling out a game like the eagles did weeks ago. 

Hopefully chiefs dont' blow it like the packers and lions did 😭

today was such a terrible day. Oh well hopefully KC comes through.

I wish. If I wasn’t such a little **** about flying, I would’ve been home four hours ago. 😂

Eh, the Lions weren’t exactly stuffing San Fran’s offense in the second half, so I get it. 

So rely on literally the least probable outcome possible?

 watching the ravens game with my friend who’s also an Eagles fan. I turned to him and said that game was eerily similar to the Eagles Chiefs game with the difference being the Eagles just didn’t turn the ball over 3 times so they eventually broke through and the ravens didn’t get any brakes like MVS dropping a football.

Chiefs should be able to run the ball on the niners. Lions were foolish to get away from Montgomery in critical points in the second half. He averages 6.2 yards per carry in the first half. He had 3 less attempts in the second half. i thought 4th and 2 was a perfect time to use Montgomery as niners just gave up 6, 5 and 7 to Montgomery on that drive. Then Johnson went 4 consecutive passes and Montgomery never got a touch. I also think KC’s oline has to play like it did in the first half of the ravens game. Thought the second half the ravens really won the line of scrimmage against the KC oline but bailed chiefs out with penalties. 

That’s quite the message. 

I said this during the draft, they really should’ve went and got CJ Stroud. Because I think it gives you a bigger window because you’re not paying the quarterback position. Plus, I don’t trust Jared Goff to Make enough plays when you need him too to win a game.

I don't remember the first 4th down attempt but the 2nd one would have been close to a 50 yard FG.  Definitely not a gimme.

A 50 yarder would be a physical impossibility... for me. But if you're in the NFCCG and your FG Kicker is healthy and can't kick a 50 yarder 99% of the time, you deserve to lose because you allowed that kicker to remain on your roster.

Of course, I acknowledge the fact that I'm spoiled and biased because we have Easy Money Jake Elliott (unless it's a chip shot or a PAT, then it's time to bite your fingernails and send up some prayers for help...)

the play to end the half sticks out as well as that late pass in sb 53 that would've been a td

A train.

what a terrible day..I think I may just record the game and only watch if the chiefs win.

hopefully the ints don't bounce their way and the kicker misses some in the SB. 

I don't hate purdy but tired of hearing ppl slob his knob like he's playing great. They wouldn't have to mount comebacks if they were playing well to starting.

Your scenario was before the 3rd down run, correct? (I’m too damn tired to look at the play by play). That deep in their territory you try to get the TD.  The play calling and clock management failed them.

Yup. 1:36 I think would’ve been a 40 yard FG. 
 

hit it, SF can get a first down and you can still get the ball back.

The lions are in a really weird position, because Jared Goff needs a contract extension at the end of 2024. If you give him that extension he’s gonna make somewhere between 50 to 60 mil per year just because of how the money keeps going up. And he’s played pretty well the last two years. I just don’t think he’s worth that money nor do i see him winning a sb. They drafted the kid out hooker who’s already 26 as a rookie and frankly has had injury concerns. who knows what he is or isn’t. I would’ve went after Stroud and either traded Jared Goff like howie did with Bradford or just let goff play this year and then try to trade him in the off-season or release him and save yourself $27 million. I don’t think the lions are going to be bad enough to pick high enough to find their replacement for Goff and i don’t think they are good enough with Goff to win a SB either.

1st & 10 at SF 24

(1:39 - 4th) (No Huddle, Shotgun) J.Goff pass short right to S.LaPorta ran ob at SF 16 for 8 yards [N.Bosa].

2nd & 2 at SF 16

(1:37 - 4th) (Shotgun) J.Goff pass short left to A.St. Brown to SF 9 for 7 yards (L.Ryan).

So at 1:37 on the San Fran 16 you are suggesting to kick a 33 yard field goal.  
 

16 yards out I get why they go for the TD right then and there.  But when ST brown converted in bounds, you need to call a TO.  Or run up and spike it. And you don’t f’n run it on 3rd and goal when you need to save as much clock as possible.  
 

If they kick the field goal and then play defense they are burning the TOs anyway and then will have to march down what is likely the length of the field with next to no time either.  I’d argue that scenario has a much lower success rate than an onside kick.

Right.  There's a good chance he would have made it but 50 yards can still be tough even for really good kickers.

The bad play that entire drive was on 3rd and goal running with Montgomery. Forced you to burn a timeout as he didn’t get in. Should’ve thrown on 3rd down and run on 4th if you didn’t score on 3rd. Should have been throwing there to preserve the timeout. Only way you have to burn a timeout is on a sack or if someone gets tackled before the end zone which I’m guessing any throw was into the end zone

Just saying neither kick was 50. The 4th and 2 they failed in the third was at the 28. Would’ve been a 45 yard FG. And the 4th and 3 they failed in the 4th was at the 30 so a 47 yard FG. In the last 2 years badgley from 40-49 is 9-11 and last 4 he was 18-21.

Imagine telling your team it was their only shot after single-handedly costing them the game (or at least 95% at fault)

FFS, I smell crap again. What the hell did these women eat?

The use of pick 12 on a part time RB and pick 18 on an average (so far) LB is looming large right about now for the Lions moving forward. I think Gibbs is a good player but it really was a win now choice. If they lose Ben Johnson and flounder next year it's going to look even worse. I think the Packers have a good shot of winning the division next year and the Vikings are still a wildcard.

What makes it worse for the lions they had the 6th pick and 18th to start. They were better off staying at 6th and going Jalen Carter to pair with Hutchinson. And at 18 taking the best player available. Or try their best to move heaven and earth to get cj stroud. If the niners lose this Super Bowl i think they’ll have a regression like most Super Bowl losers do. If love makes another step in his development the packers are  going to be better and they took it to the lions later in the season with a team that wasn’t very healthy.
