There was the missed roughing on the fumble as well, but that would not have changed the outcome, they were dominated.

Not a penalty.

"An exception to the rule is where the passer rejoins a play after throwing the ball, such as in an attempt to block, recover a fumble, or tackle a defensive player who has gained possession of the ball. In this case, the passer is treated as any other player and may legally be contacted."

Once the ball is fumbled, he loses all the protections as a qb.

THAT is the stat that is just incredible to me.....not ONCE was there a blitz and they STILL got to him multiple times and made him extremely uncomfortable.....shout out to our incredible defensive line....

I could have sworn there was one blitz late, sometime in the fourth quarter. Mahomes completed a pass against it...I think. I'll be looking.

That played immediately after they won too. I forget exactly but it was very soon after/during the trophy ceremony if I recall, it was the first commercial shown in that break. Dang, they were ready.

That on top of Chris Long saying Hurts said to him after the NFCCG "It's already been written."

22 year old rookie, playing in the biggest game of your career, getting a pick-6 to put your team up 3 scores and on your way to a ring. What a rush that must've been. 

 

on his birthday!

I just meant not a traditional DE, he's an OLB/Edge rusher. I was simply saying they should draft a defensive end.

He is extremely good at setting an edge on a running play. He is a DE. 

But yes, still draft a few dudes on the dline

It was OPI, you saw the DB’s head move.  Those two calls sent a message.  No hands to the face. 

I was less upset about the OPI when I saw the hand to the facemask.  The call on McDuffie was also legit but probably a little more ticky tack.

It was a zone blitz.  Baun rushed and Smith dropped into coverage.

The stat guys call anything over four rushers a blitz.

meh, he was still in the motion at that point, but sure. I don't think it effected the game  for it not to be called, but it wasn't a "rejoin" after the fumble, it was still in the throwing motion as it got stripped. If that happened to Hurts, I'd have been heated, but if we were getting beat that badly, I would have been heated in general.

I've been wavering on this throughout the season as far as free agents leaving and been back and forth with Becton & Milton Williams. I believe we only keep one. After yesterday I want Milton Williams. Becton has to take a hometown discount or won't work. So in the end, we overpay the heck out of Williams and Baun and keep this Superbowl defense nucleus together a few more seasons. Sweat and others thanks for everything!!

The most impressive thing about last night I would say was the rush discipline by the line and edge rushers.

They were never past mahommes to where he could take off on us like last time. Reddick and sweat that year might have been better but they always rushed past him that year 

Who does he soak with a beer towards the end of this?

The OPI on Brown, followed by the PF hit to the head on Goedert were the only two calls that you can argue.    Maybe... MAYBE, the late hit on Barkley, but frankly, that was a cheap shot taken against our best player.   And in a blowout type game, player safety matters.  I'm glad the Chiefs didn't take any more liberties after that.

I went over to the Chief Kingdom Board and almost every page of their gameday thread there is a complaint against the refs.  

23 minutes ago, Iggles_Phan said:

Nah.  They actually did a bad job, because they sold out to stop Barkley.   They left themselves way too vulnerable to be torched elsewhere.  And, even as they bottled him up... he still got yards on them.  Nearly 100 total yards anyway.

I said the 1v1’s outside would be there with the Chiefs focusing on Barkley and blitzing, but I didn’t think it would be this egregious!

Tons of credit to Moore for expecting the same thing, game planning it, and to Hurts for the decisiveness to pull the trigger when the chances presented themselves. He got the ball out quick and, aside from 1 or 2 throws early, had unbelievable touch.

If Jalen can be this decisive moving forward he can join the top tier of QBs in the NFL and should have the chance to win a handful of rings.

absolutely. It was a defensive masterclass of getting to the passer without losing your gap/lane integrity. I asked in the thread about MVP because if the game had ended at the half, I truly believe that Sweat should have been the MVP, he had 2 sacks and caused the Baun interception by running Thuney into Mahomes while throwing. Hurts rushing in big spots and a couple big throws are what made him MVP, but only because you couldn't give it to the whole D.

Not sure hands to the face is legal on any player in a situation like that though.   It doesn't matter.   The game was over long before that moment.

Defensive end and defensive tackle will likely be their two first draft picks. As much as I want Milton back, I don’t think they’ll be able to afford him. 

Agreed on all of this. Really want Milton but don’t think it’s likely,

Baun blitzed ateast once in the first half.

But overall we only blitzed a couple of times. Our front 4 just absolutely dominated their OL.

Gotta keep the D together, I love Becton, but they can find another guard and Stout can coach em up. I'd rather keep Milton of those two.

They don't know what a properly officiated game looks like.   If they aren't getting drive saving calls, then they think they are being robbed.

I said the same thing but I think an edge might have dropped into coverage on that play and made it still only 4 rushers. Cause I definitely saw the LB dart in.

Did you attend the game? Take yourself home a buck? 

The one guy who we MUST bring back no matter what is Zach Baun.

After that I want Milton Williams assuming he doesn't break the bank, but he probably will.  Try to keep this D together.

Then Mekhi Becton.

Then Josh Sweat who I assume is gone for a massive payday.  Bring back BG if we can for one last rodeo.

Sweat already talking about money being important BUT looking for the right situation
