The Playoff Thread

The Chiefs basically lost the game at the end of the half. You simply have to take the 3 points at the end of the half. You had 5 seconds there and you run a play? Why?? The Bengals went to the locker room w/ the momentum down by 11..lol.

Yeah that was sloppy, really surprised they didn't just take the FG there, if there was 8 or 9 seconds left I can see going for it, but with 5 seconds it has to be a bang bang play

Yeah, I'm not sure what analytics they were using that told them that was a good idea. Straight up cocky and showed no respect for the Bengals D. They gave Cincinnati all the motivation they needed for the 2nd half.

I expect more from Andy to be honest. That decision has to be right up there with some of the worst this postseason.

Agreed, a decision at that point shouldn't be based on what you've managed to do so far, but what you expect to do going forward. It's a chip shot FG with a very good kicker, so very likely 3 points. That puts you up by 2 TD's going into the half against a team that's known for it's 2nd half performances. To then not even call a play that gets the ball thrown into the EZ was baffling. Handed the initiative straight over to the Bengals. I bet Reid wishes he'd had those 3 points in his pocket come the 4th quarter.

Victim of their own success?
