Always go for it. Especially when it might mean not giving Mahomes the ball last

I've been michigan-pilled and I probably would've taken 4th and 4 to try and win the game right there. SF defense also hadn't been playing like rear end until that drive, but that's Mahomes/Kelce for you!

Maybe I missed this because I wasn't in the GDT but: the Chiefs let the game clock run down all the way to 7 seconds before throwing the TD pass on first and goal. Would the game have ended if the game clock had run out before they scored?

Nope, would've just flipped fields, timer is to give a mandatory timeout and flip field sides. First teams' possessions are basically untimed.

Don't know why, but it *just* hit me that the super bowl overtime rules were different, where even if SF scored a touchdown on that overtime possession, it wouldn't end the game.

Basically swung my logic, don't really have a problem with Shanahan kicking the field goal. Defense just didn't make a stop and rip

The only good justification for the 49ers receiving there is that their defense had just been on the field for a drive and were clearly pretty gassed

It's sounding like it was just a fuckup, as the 49ers apparently didn't have an internal plan for it and the 49ers didn't get the memo that they should just lie about it

Still a solid point, no idea how much of the "gently caress, D's gassed" weighed in.

Bosa and Young both played great but Mahomes is Mahomes, dude ascends to a different level when needed

Yeah, SF had that Mahomes magician poo poo basically contained all drat game until they suddenly didn't.

I keep thinking about the alternate world where Kelce still yells at Andy Reid (and he was right), but doesn't catch all those second half passes and KC loses.

The hot takery alone could fuel major metropolitan areas for months.

I completely missed this poo poo in real-time:

https://twitter.com/SpaceCoyoteBDS/status/1757444583191933216?t=M96tNhcqeJtZDt5t4SeoRw&s=19

Reid, on a potential game-losing play, called a play where by design, Bosa was to be unblocked and caught in the wash of a whole bunch of faked actions that were never live. Football!

In this one he didn't show up on the stat sheet meaningfully but really was disciplined at keeping contain while being dangerous which frustrated the offense. Just...not on that particular play which turns out to be a big one.

Yeah I even remember Romo diagramming Bosa going *almost* too far inside, then properly keeping his edge elsewhere in the game. I just really like poo poo like this because in a game with 22 people on the drat field, games can be won because some dork in a booth above the stadium detected that one player might have an exploitable tendency.

It's even possible that Bosa got a check that the back end didn't, or they got a check that he didn't, so he wasn't supposed to be the edge-setter.

On the college side, this kind of thing is what led to the crazy Michigan-Penn State game with 32 straight runs. PSU's edges would fire in and couldn't be blocked, so Michigan ran poo poo like that play to make the aggressiveness backfire.

Would Kelce have picked up Bosa if he went outside leaving the safety to stop Mahomes? Obviously not as good as what happened but open field tackling Mahomes is not an easy task.

The more I rewatch that play, the more I'm kinda fascinated by it. I keep looking at SF's #54 (Warner, Linebacker) as he'd be the edge-setter if it wasn't Bosa. And Warner hugs the line, then immediately grabs the slot receiver as he passes off Kelce to a corner. Bosa could've been expecting Warner to play as the Edge, but Warner didn't as he had that coverage duty on the slot when it became clear it was a pass play.

Kelce/Bosa hit the same area so quick I have no idea if Kelce made a read to let Bosa go, or his job was always to get out into the flat and abandon blocking. Sure looked like with Warner in coverage, it was Bosa or something.

I was wondering just where in the hell Jason Kelce found a luchador mask:

and the answer appears to be: on a random dance floor

Is it possible to get my av photoshopped with a Chiefs hat and glowing red eyes like in that Biden tweet? And also darkened like the Biden tweet?

It's a little late but I've been needing a new av for awhile and this is as good an excuse as any to get one.

Shutdown Fullcast finally put into words why I'm still not tired of the Travis/Jason Kelce coverage yet: they're the two different sides of Big Galoots. The country has had a shortage of Big Galoots lately that we can all laugh at/with. They're like a buddy cop movie where both cops are loose cannons and throwing guns/badges at each other:

This means that Jason Kelce has a way into the wrestling business via fuckin Taylor Swift knowing Jeff Jarrett of all prople. I'm now calling bullshit on the luchador mask story, that was a soft launch for El Centerico in AEW.
