WHAT WAS THAT. !?!?!?!?

 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
