OT: Chief's WR Worthy going OB with about 4 minutes to play at the Bill's 10 yard line

[uihawk82]

All through the season I can see why players will duck out of bounds in games to save their bodies from some hits. But late in games they usually do not. And especially late in a Conf Champ game you dont.

How many of you noticed Worthy caught that ball and was sailing downfield, and he is fast and a very good WR, but he had one guy between him and the goalline. Yes the guy had an angle but Worthy also had room to make a cut to the center of the field. Instead he went OB at the 10,

I wonder if the coaches or teammates will counsel him in that situation to not go OB and try to get the TD or more yards. As it turned out the first and goal for the chiefs fizzled with a sack and two missed. They won and it didnt matter but it almost did as they settled for a FG.

Same thing with the Bills, running back Cook ran out of bounds with the closest defender 5 yards away. Could have cut upfield and got an additional 7-10 yards.
Unbelievable.
Late in the game with Buffalo down 22-29

Worthy is listed at 165 pounds. I'm guessing he has been coached to avoid taking as many unnecessary hits as he can.

They just seem to find a way.....Its funny how the haters come out though when teams have a long period of success. The Chiefs have become the Pats. 7 straight AFC championship games to the Pats record of 8. Now people are actually bitching that they get the benefit of calls by the refs because the league wants the Swifties watching the games. The nonsense never ends.....

Mahomes had his best game of the season by far yesterday. That's what he does. Bills were actually lucky to be in the game. They fumbled 4 times and recovered every single one of them and if Mahomes doesn't fumble that RPO they were going to get at least 3 and probably 7 more on that drive. Eagles are a very formidable opponent. Athletic o line, athletic d line, best back in the game and 2 really good receivers. But remember the Eagles were an absolute juggernaut just 2 years ago and the Chiefs beat them. I'm expecting a game similar to the game 2 years ago. Wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles won but I wouldn't bet against Mahomes.

The chiefs have a very strong defense especially if they can concentrate on stopping run or pass. Right now the Eagles are a running team. They have really good receivers of course but it seems they need to run first so cat and mouse time, will the chiefs load the box and will the Eagles throw on 1st down.

Not to mention the two horrible passes Allen threw on the first series that both should have been picked off by #6 Cook. I agree the Eagles are VERY good. Still whether its Mahomes magic or Andy Reid's creativity, they seem to find a way. The Chiefs ran two run plays for scores, (one by Hunt, and one by Mahomes) out of a diamond backfield they had NEVER run out of before. They scored on both runs from 10yds out. Reid is as good of a play designer as there is in the game.

I loved the sack where the Bills DL just jacked up the Center and blew him right into Mahomes.

They won by 3 friggin points on their home field. They aren't some unstoppable juggernaut now.

What would you call a team being in the Super Bowl 5 of the last 6 years and going for a 3 peat then?

 

[littlez]

I plan to.

It’s been going so well every year.

I have to admit, I'm scared of playing Barkley. Hurts doesn't scare me. I don't know why. I just don't think he is a gamer. Barkley is a stud. We'll see what Spags plans on doing.

Nah, you see I f***ing hate the Eagles' trash fanbase, so there's absolutely no way that Philadelphia doesn't win this game, just to give me the worst possible outcome for this season.

We already got the least desirable Super Bowl matchup.

It's pretty funny too, that the NFL made sure they gave us an opponent for Kansas City that could rival the hatred fans have for them, so that a Chiefs win was more palatable, because it was against a franchise and fanbase that can be even bigger a**holes than the Chiefs.

And to be fair, the Chiefs are really just annoying because they've won so much and the media rubs their stars in our faces. Philly is hated because they and their fanbase genuinely plays the villain.

That's why Philadelphia is winning, just like how Ohio State got to win the CFB title.

Winning professional sports titles is only reserved for villains in the modern era.

Imagine that: using a new formation in a big game. Is that even legal?

Hmmm, what was the score last year? Did they still win the super bowl? Of course they aren't unstoppable. Probably why NO one has won 3 in a row in the last 60+ years.

Were the Chiefs the villains 3 of the last 5 years?

Keep betting against the Chiefs so you can show people how smart you are when finally correct.

Financially it’s about as smart as buying scratch tickets at the gas station every single day.

They'd rather complain about the refs while losing their money betting on the opponents and the NFL conspiracy of a bottom 5 market team becoming America's darlings!

 

[ChiPackHawk]

Actually if you have bet against them with the spread this year you have made money. They have not been any way near as dominant as in recent years.

Jerry Jones signed off on not going to a Super Bowl for 30 years so KC would be happy. I saw the memo on Reddit.

Chiefs might not be able to but the refs will!

Yep big market owners like Jerry love having the refs help KC win the Super Bowl. 😏. He’s probably in on it. Can’t make it up for some of these conspiracy fellas like @ShonnDeereGreene. Has to be the refs.

Offensive holding putting the Eagles in long down and distance. Refs will pace the game.

Some of you are truly delusional on the Chiefs winning because of refs. Lazy, sad, pathetic.

Stopped Henry enough to beat the Ravens in week 1 while already banged up. Defense is almost as healthy as it has been all season.

My guess is blitz the safety (or both) and hope for the best? You know, the usual

Bills lead the league in scoring drives after a penalty in their favor. Chiefs were 17th. Put down the crack pipe
