What did we just see>?? DO they not talk about this before it happens ?? or Practice this crap I'd say money involved but the lines were unaffected by the outcomes - both Chiefs were a 13.5 point pick and the Lions 9 1/2 - ...
Ok- SO the Raider down by 2 - move up the field - are in a 50 year field goal range -
24 or so seconds left - and 34 on the play clock. They are lining up to spike the ball - and do that with 15 Seconds left. . BUT then instead of the Field goal unit - they put the offense back out for what they describe after the game as wanting to run more time off the clock - not gain more yards and not give Mahomes ANY seconds to work with. Mind you 15 seconds left.... The Raiders line up in a Shotgun formation - Screw up the snap so that is. fumble and there are flags thrown on the Play - -
so
if they wanted to leave Kansas City with no time - and by their own admission - they were not looking gain more yards - just to kill more time - gonna throw the ball out of bounds and try the 49 yard FG... - WHY didn't they do that at 1st down - left the clock run to 2 seconds or what ever when they had the ball- all lined up for the 1st down play with 15 seconds left.
Then if the flags were for a false start - then the play never took place and the raiders would get penalized 5 yards and redo the play ... ok then they needed some yards and still make that FG....
But the Illegal shift - let the Chiefs deny the penalty and take the play / Fumble and the ball... Game OVER...
============================
Then Lions and Bears
Bears get within field goal range - they are down by 3 points, - over 30 seconds left and a Time out remaining. They take 24 seconds to snap the ball - so 6 seconds left - the play takes all of that a few more to get an incomplete pass - what a debacle .. the Head Coach got fired and rightly so - with what 15 or so take the damn time out - its very obvious that the offense is confused - you can decide to run another play - maybe an out pattern and get out of bounds or just try the Field goal yea it would have been long - but did not even get a try ..... ugh
