I will add that this is a specific instance of this game theory, because I think I trust Gostkowski more than any other kicker in the league to make that short kick for the win

Vinitaeri?
---

Patriots dynasties built on elite kickers
---

in my head i can at least pretend at some point Vinatieri will instantly start kicking like an old man

Theres a timeline out there where Brady retires and the Patriots aquire Mahomes
---

I wonder if the Chiefs are going to be on to Cincinnati after this one

it's the timeline where Belichick trades Brady to the 49ers, keeping Jimmy G (and knowing he's softer than Charmin) and using the picks from the Brady trade to move up for Mahomes

yea usually the team with the ball last in a shootout wins

...we scored too quick

yep

Nope

yep

Nope

letting Gronk score with a minute left and a timeout is risky unless you are playing against something like the week 2 Patriots >_>

I mean you don't deliberately pass up an easy score when you're the team who's trailing

I don't think they were trying to score that fast. It just happened, and you can't pass it up because you can't guarantee you score a TD if they pull up short to try to milk the clock.

This isn't a coaching or player failure or anything. Scoring the TD when it was available to them was the right call. It was still too quick though.

It sounds like you're saying is the failure is completely on the defense, not the offense.

The defense blew the coverage because that play ordinarily doesn't result in a TD. If it's a tie game or something, pulling up short and milking the clock is on the table, or even if you're only behind by 3 (although I'd say you still go for the win even at the expense of the clock).

Now of course KC's defense blew it in return on the next drive to negate it, but Football and I totally expected them to do that, which is why we said they scored too quickly.

24 of the 32 teams in the NFL are somewhere between 4-2 and 2-4 right now

parity baby
---

That chiefs player admitted he let go of Brady on that TD because he was afraid of getting flagged, because he thought the ball had been released already. And I get it, he was behind brady and brady let his arm fling like he was gonna throw it so I can understand why he'd think that.
---

that seems like it would be a relatively normal distribution, is there a comparison to previous years?
---

most teams are bad average or good. Whoa!
---

the Titans haven't scored a touchdown in half their games and are tied for first place in the division

and we own the tiebreakers over Jacksonville and Houston too
---

remember when Watson was gonna take over the league this year?
---

no one is watching cj beatherd stomp around leambeu field?
---

I just turned it on now in the background.
---

too depressed at how much we suck to say anything
---

This is uh.. A thing.
---

did the Packers score too soon

we'll find out
---

nope
---

maybe they didn't score soon enough
---

The last 5 minutes of this game is why the 49ers are 1-4 right now.
---

And why they're about to be 1-5.
---

I turned this game on right before the two minute warning.

lmao Rodgers no mercy

oh hey me too
---

looks like the Packers scored just in time
---

And Crosby gets his storybook redemption. Aaron gets another magical comeback. One minute drill, no timeouts? Just throw darts to the left and right sideline. It's games like this that I've missed as a Packer fan this season. And now we are at least sitting in the mix in the NFC North going into our bye.

Yeah. Rogers is going to get all the credit here when this is 100% due to the league pussyfoot rule set. This is unwatchable.

3 perfectly placed passes in like 15 seconds for about what 50 yards is pretty amazing though. Even given that it was a second attempt and all the rules and everything else.

Devonta Freeman going to IR

Unknown if he'll play again this season
---

I should have picked up Ito Smith before this week, and now I'll have to hope my 3rd waiver priority is good enough to get him
