I was thinking the toys being tossed out the cot is more about would have preferred playing Miami in the divisional round in the warmer weather in Miami and avoiding the cold tundra of Buffalo.

Then again for new Chiefs fans away playoffs games have been rare. Playing in Buffalo and then on to Baltimore cold and cold is probably a good thing

He's only looking one game at a time, and Pittsburgh are the weakest team left and wanted them. Good point though, Mahomes has never played an away playoff game and the road now looks pretty difficult if the Ravens and Buffalo win through their respective games - but if you want to beat Baltimore away then having to beat Buffalo the week before is a pretty good test.

All of that said, he's only 11 but he's also watched this average Chiefs team all year. He knows they're likely not making it through to February.

Where should Derick Henry go? Highest bidder or a team with a legitimate chance of winning?

A team competing, no one who isn't will be interested

Howie to sign him, Nick and Brian Johnson to split him out wide and throw bubble screens to him

Yes, turn him into a WR after he goes 3 carries for 25 yards on the first 3 plays of the game, that's enough of that, time to catch the opposition off guard with next level thinking.

It'll only last one play until AJ gets jealous and he and Hurts need to 'improvise' again though

Ravens will be shedding Dobbins, Edwards and Hill. All on decent coin for RBs. The King is an upgrade and will complement the speed game of Mitchell really well.
Ravens had a trade deal with Titans for him but the owner overruled the GM.

All contenders should be after him IF only for a single year deal.

I think Miami felt like they would beat Buffalo and face them again in the playoffs, so didnt want to show too much variation on offense, pull out the big plays. They kept running the same fake handoff counter pitch to Achane over and over and just used a handful of stock standard passing plays.

350+ yds passing, 65+ yds rushing, 75+% completion, PLUS 2+ INTs

So what's the issue? Spotting the wrong 49 line is understandable and it eventually got to the right spot.

Had they flagged the Packers for lining up in the neutral zone based on the original spot then that would have been something.

The refs in the game were bad. I think there was 1 accepted penalty all game. They let everything go

This was after a Bears 4th down QB sneak. it was ruled 1st down. [it could be a bad camera angle, but i thought the Bears picked it up on the 3rd down and got a bad spot]

That is a bad angle, if it was a good angle the rope would be parallel to the picture frame. When I first saw this I thought it was a first down.

Its a bad camera angle. You can see the yard marker behind the refs foot is on the angle. If you apply the same angle to the the end of the chain it's probably a nose across the line of gain.

I do find it funny that the ref takes a completely random guessed position of the ball in a pack which could be off by god knows how much, then they move the chains to get a mm accurate measurement like it matters when the ball position was guessed anyway ie the Bills 4th down late in the game yesterday.

Is the NFL trialing any tech inside the ball? It’s the one sport where I think tech could actually add something positive to the sport and not just add confusion and bullshit. Live tracking of the ball position at all times that someone could very easily tell a ref in their ear piece where to spot it.

Modern balls do contain an RFID chip. Watch from about the 6:10 mark of this video.

Plus a terrible fumble. It was the whole JA experience yesterday......

Thanks for that didn’t realise this was already in use, should be cool as they get the accuracy even tighter and even smaller chips

No worries.

 

[Brasher]

The marking the ball and bringing out the chains is all theater.

A couple of inches pales into insignificance when they selectively apply rules across the entire game.
