Okay, I'll believe you and your parallel Earth that can run these precise simulations. LOL. Niners had so many chances, and so many dumb dumb penalties. But yeah, maybe if they had a Mahomes clone (?) they would still be playing in OT.
Is this the first playoff game under the new rules? I'm pretty sure many of us idiots watching thought that it was TD wins the game, and also thought that it's only 1 quarter long so the Chiefs had to take a timeout. But yes, you are correct, especially since a defensive score wins it.
It is the first playoff OT game under the new rules after the KC-Bills OT debacle a few years ago. The each team getting a possession was mentioned. They never explained what happens when the clock hits 0, other than implying "it's a new game".
There is nothing better than buying 10 squares at $10 each and winning the 2nd, 3rd and final score.......3 wins of 4......SWEET !!! DD
Greenlaw doesn't injure his achilles running onto the field? I said that would be a big factor, and I think it was. Kelce had zip until Greenlaw was gone. Eh, **** it.
the greenlaw injury changed the game for the chiefs. He had kelce in jail when he was out there. The backup #48 got cooked by kelce and that was the game
Crazy thing is the chiefs won the superbowl with one of the weakest pass catching units I have ever seen. Their defense is great, they need to load up in the draft on wr’s/te cause I think the upcoming draft is loaded at those positions
Greenlaw Achilles. Then Luter Achilles. Outcome would have been different if Luter blew out his Achilles instead of Greenlaw.
A trick play touchdown from the 49ers, the second OT in Super Bowl history, and a comeback-winning drive for the underdog Chiefs.
Romo mentioned it the last couple of plays. Maybe a producer told him. OT can be 4 quarters under the new rules.
You have a point, but not having a "spy" assigned to Mahomes was not a good strategy. His running won the game. Purdy is not in Mahomes' league, but who is? Maybe CJ, we will see.
I think their defenses battled it out and when that happen it was going to come down to QB and offensive skill players. KC players made big plays when they needed to and the 9ers obviously just didn't. Purdy played well but yes, he would have had to play great, sometimes thats what it takes to win these things especially when the opponent is Mahomes. There weren't many plays out there from Purdy when it looked like he made nothing out of something but once again Mahomes does this thing where it looks like he's dead in the water and somehow getting a big play...or his offense being dead to rights on a drive and somehow converting... I'm saying Purdy played well but he had to be great, especially against that defense tonight.
Prevent defense claims another victim. I'll never understand why teams playing to win a game decide to gift a quarterback, especially one like Mahomes, 6-7 yards on every play. Who on the Chiefs did the 49ers think was going to beat them up top? Insane to let Mahomes build momentum and march it down the field so easily.
Yeah I don't know who is. I thought Lamar was but he completely crapped the bed again in a big game. Josh Fields is too wild. Burrow is hurt but might be in his league. CJ definitely has that same thing where again he looks the play is dead and suddenly it turns out to be a 30 yard gain.
I was thinking about that, but the main mistake was that fumble by the special teams. They just gift rapped a touchdown for the Chiefs.
