*** TNF: Lions vs Chiefs *** READ THREAD RULES FIRST! ***

Right, they need to hold them but you have a better chance of doing that than converting a 4th and 20 or 25.

Think the play call is the same at 4-20 / 4-25 imo.

Mahomes didn’t lose the game his receivers don’t come up with balls that are right there

They need a real gm. Their receivers suck. No depth at tight end. They knew this and ignored it.

By the way, this was a heck of an opening game.

 

[HungryLion]

If you assume they can't hold them, then yes, it doesn't matter. But the odds of holding them were way better than the odds of converting 4th-and-25. And if they did hold them, the odds of coming back from 1 point down are massively better than the odds of coming back from 4 points down.

Oh I’m sure the numbers favor punting.

All I’m saying is. You’re in a terrible spot either way as you mentioned earlier as well.

It was a hyper aggressive call by Reid but not that terrible of a decision given you’re chances suck either way.

Chiefs looked pretty sloppy for a team that played starters in the preseason. Almost like it doesn't matter and our fanbase moans and cries about everything.

 

[Havic]

Feels a little like 1993, when Emmitt held out and the Cowboys started 0-2.

Yes, but Kelce being hurt and Toney dropping balls is why they lost. Could have won without Jones imo.

Wasn't just Toney. None of their receivers were doing Mahomes any favors.

Players get hurt there’s no excuse. It’s not the first time team has lost without of it’s best players not playing

You have to do it either way though.

At the end of the day. The call didn’t even matter. Because their defense failed.

 

[rambo2]

It was the rookie’s debut. I think he’s a talented prospect, and an exciting piece of the puzzle that makes up the Detroit offense.

He was a step away from making a touchdown when he slipped in the 1st half.

 

[Beaker42]

Gallup for Jones straight up.

What? Emmitt held out? So selfish and greedy!

If he doesn’t slip he’s in.

Kelce has been extremely durable and is why they could get away with trading hill and rolling with what they got. Once he went down, who they have now will be some growing pains through out the season. Pacheco didn't look that great either. Lions played great and earned the win. Chiefs, at least tonight, look like they have taken a couple of steps back. Maybe losing their OC will be a bigger impact than we thought?

Emmitt didn't have a contract at the time. Not the same thing.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

That's a hot boys take!

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Emmitt didn't have a contract at the time. Not the same thing.

Same as what?

 

[baltcowboy]

Wow. There is a good chance that Kansas City could start the season 0-2 with Jacksonville next on the road in Duvall.

 

[Motorola]

By the way, this was a heck of an opening game.

Hope there are more like this come Sunday...relatively low scoring, with few penalties and turnovers...with the outcome not assured until the last two minutes.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Too bad for Ma-Homes, now if we could just get his brother to take a long walk off a short pier.
