I too was calling for a squib kick. But, the player receiving the kick could’ve just downed the ball where he caught or fell on it, so no time would’ve run off the clock then either.
Packers coach had 10 guys on the field to block the game winning field goal
Romo as a matter of fact said they should squib kick it before the Bills decided to boot it into the end zone for no possible return. He was surprised that they did so. So major brain fart by the head coach and special teams coach for sure.I saw and read a lot of people criticizing it even Romo live on air . It was a terrible decision.
One thing you can say with certainty is that the 49ers had no idea it was coming. They were completely fooled.Moore's quarterback draw was the best call in the playoffs. Absolutely BRILLIANT ----> runs
I agree with the premise. I felt, while the final quarter was entertaining for fans, both teams defenses were absolutely horrible with bad coaching decisions. However, if you squib kick, the clock still doesn’t start until a player touches the ball, so a Chiefs player could simply fall on it, giving himself up, costing the team 1 second at most, and probably having much better field position than the 25.After a week of the sports world mocking Mike McCarthy and his weight problem over a QB draw that should have accomplished it's goal of leaving time on the clock for one prayer to the end zone at the 25 with a bad QB, I fail to see this same level of scorn for a head coach who truly eliminated his own team yesterday.
How do the Buffalo Bills not squib kick after going up by 3 with 13 seconds to play? How does the alleged top tier head coach Sean McDermott not tell his ST Coach that's what's happening? It would have at the very least taken enough time off the clock to prevent a 3rd play for the Chiefs and very well might have done more than that.
Yes the defense should hold regardless but this was an egregious error that needlessly gave the Chiefs an opportunity to win the game.
Where's the outrage? Where's the mockery? Cmon, he could be thinner.
Notice the difference in how these two are treated. Zero respect for our own and he's accomplished more than McDermott ever has.
So when they talk about the 2021 season playoffs and the worst call they've ever seen from a head coach I won't be thinking some QB draw that really didn't decide the game since the QB wasn't making that throw if he had another play. I'll be thinking about those Buffalo Bills handing the Chiefs a chance when it was completely unnecessary and avoidable.

Squib was the right call. But Tyreek Hill was back there...50/50 he gets it to the 40 with 8 seconds left.

They practice squib kicks just like regular kicksI thought about the squib kick too but what happens if it goes off his bad and chili dips it out of bounds? I think they felt the safer route was kicking out of the back of endzone. Who thinks that 13 seconds is enough to get into field goal range? If anything, he needed to understand who gassed that D was and call plays that lent to the strength of D. I am not sure that the ultra prevent defense was the way to go. I am biased because I hate prevent defense anyway.
Still you have to give credit to Josh and Mahomes. Even though both D's had let downs, those two QB's took advantage of what was in front of them.
This is what I was thinking. Penalties don't matter. I know the game can't end on a defensive penalty, but do it once or twice so there's only time for a hail Mary and no time to complete a pass and call a timeout.Great point @Risen Star .
A squib kick or even a kick with hang time landing inbounds at the 10ish yard line would have been enough to run the clock down to allow 1-2 plays max.
Goes to show how even good teams can screw themselves over with minor blunders. I’m saying minor because - come on - it was THIRTEEN seconds. All the Bills had to do was cause at least ONE incomplete pass.
I’m also thinking: couldn’t the Bills pass defenders just hold the receivers at the line of scrimmage after the ball is snapped? Yeah, it’s a penalty but it runs out the clock.
To answer your question....Cowboys are privileged....the Bills....not so much.After a week of the sports world mocking Mike McCarthy and his weight problem over a QB draw that should have accomplished it's goal of leaving time on the clock for one prayer to the end zone at the 25 with a bad QB, I fail to see this same level of scorn for a head coach who truly eliminated his own team yesterday.

Yeah but that's not a coaching decision.
Should be a classic Rams vs Niners with both D’s teeing off. Jimmy G sure to throw a pick, and Stafford should have had at least one .
That said I don’t think either of these teams will stop Chiefs. They look like they are destined for a W..... Hard to realize that Mahomes will be in his 4th consecutive championship game.
Andy Reid doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He lead Philly to several championship games, and now doing the same in the AFC....
