Didn't some Bengals fan guarantee us that Burrow would win more SB rings than Mahomes? Was that you rfaulk?

Without the penalty, Rice catches the ball.

The problem was that your underneath DB gave the rookie no choice but to play through the receiver. It wasn't a stupid penalty on the rookies part; he did everything he could do there to try to salvage an impossible situation.

It was an execution error that cost you the game. Same thing that usually costs teams the game when you're nursing a 1-score lead into the waning minutes against a superior QB.

If he follows that path at least you can look forward to one SB and four league MVPs.

We get it. KC was an offsides away from denying Brady his sixth ring.

Don't tell Baltimore and Buffalo fans that.

Technically, the Patriots could probably say the same thing.

Definitely a very thin margin between success and failure in the NFL.

You make a couple of unstated assumptions here. First, you assume that if the "stupid rookie" hadn't committed DPI, the receiver would not have caught the ball for a first down.

Second, you assume that if the rookie holder had not fumbled the snap, that the kicker would have made the field goal.

These are some pretty big assumptions. You conclude by saying two plays made the difference, but with those assumptions in place, there is much more than two plays that are the difference.

I was just coming here to say that :thumb:

Not that i can recall but i wouldn't put anything past me.

He doesn't have to play through the receiver. If he has any kind of awareness, he plays it on the side to completetely avoid going through the receiver.

The sad part is, he wasn't even aware a receiver was right in front of him because he "was playing the ball".

Honestly though, i put more on Lou for only rushing 3. Pre-snap i thought, "that's a bad idea".

I try not to talk to legitimate dummies.

Oh, there's teams every year that can say that. It just amplifies how razor thin the difference between winning and losing is.

We are in the middle of a dynasty run and you are here talking shit about Joe's meaningless stats. Dummy is you.

I don't think they're that big. I use the rookie because he was the one that committed the foul. If the 4th and 16 is executed better by all involved is a better way to say it. I wasn't happy at all that Lou only rushed 3 to give Pat all day to throw.

I don't remember the specifics but they threw up a couple stats about Evan in that situation and it's a pretty safe bet to say he would have made it. He's made all of his 50+ yarders this year and there was no wind at the time of the kick.
