Doesnt matter, the Ciefs have to stop the colts not once, but twice, and thats if the Chiefsscore TD's on both their next two possesions.

 

[cracKer]

it was clearly the right call

Of course it wassince they converted

 

[Burning Sensation]

if the Chiefs score, they should onside kick it

 

[biglare66]

Colts take a timeout? HOLY MONKEY COACH BATMAN (thought that line was cool).

True dat. If they get a TD here, they must cause 3 n' out, and then score another TD.It does not look good for the Chiefs, who should be playing in the 2-minute drill for the rest of the game.

and then stop the Colts again, because the game would only be tied at that point.

 

[bentley2]

Not a good time for technical difficulties.

 

[biglare66]

LOL at the CBS crew. HOLMES SCORES!

 

[hector31]

Of course it was

since they converted

It was the right call, either way. They couldn't punt.

 

[biglare66]

Announcers are calling for an onside kick with 4 minutes remaining. I don't think I could do that.

 

[hector31]

It's funny how the score is "just" 38-31, because this game has a 60-56 feel to it. I guess they didn't max the opportunities late in the first half.

 

[Burning Sensation]

Any score here and its over, hmm, games over.

 

[Burning Sensation]

onside kick?

 

[TheRegulator]

I can't believe they are suggesting that....lets go for a 10% chance that if we don't get it we give up an almost automatic FG

 

[smlevin]

I wouldn't fault Vermeil for going for the onside kick, but I think you have to punt it through the endzone.The O did what they were supposed to - scored 7 and gave the D a breather. Now the D needs to do something it hasn't done all day. That said, I would not be surprised to see the OKick - though it will be the Chiefs' last meaningful play oif the game if the Colts recover.Trickery OKick here maybe?

 

[Burning Sensation]

well, since the Ciefs have a 4% chance of stopping the Colts here, seems like the right call.

Giving the ball back to the Colts is almost an automatic TD, so you might as well try something.

 

[Everwars Nerd]

onside kick?

How embarrassing must that be for the Chiefs D? They should all hang their heads in shame.

 

[smlevin]

Anyone see that graphic about the tale of the game - it was even throughout from yards through time of possession.

 

[biglare66]

The problem with doing this onside kick is... there always the chance that IND will turnover the ball. They haven't made a mistake all game, but it is possible. Onside is the wrong call.

 

[TheRegulator]

The play to do is fake onside and kick deep to minimize return....If KC would have wasted a time-out there that would have been rediculous

 

[bentley2]

I'm supposed to be brewing a West Coast Pale Ale this afternoon, but I can't get away from this game.

 

[biglare66]

Has there ever been a playoff game with no punts?

 

[Burning Sensation]

Colts cant afford to waste time outs, if they dont score here(as unlikely as it is) and the Chiefs do, the Colts would need those TO's ofr a GW field goal.

I feel ya. My nephew is still waiting for his insulin.

If KC gets the ball and scores, do they go for 2 to win or 1 to tie?J

dont know about a playoff game, but the Bills niners did it back in the early 90's in regular season.

You can go now - the Colts will get within Vandies FG range within the next three plays.

 

[Fallerjw]

Is Mike Martz managing the clock for the Chiefs?

one

No win at home? Facing Vanderjagt?J

Seems a moot point.But, they'd take it to OT and hope for the luck of the coin toss - 50-50 on the coin toss is better than their odds of converting a 2-point play and maybe losing the game.

[mighty thor]

So is there any doubt that Edge is back? Where are the Edgerrina idiots now?

He couldn't gain one little yard in three tries vs. his next oppenent.

i dont think either call is the wrong one, but lets assume the Chiefs do score with no time left, i think they are better off taking their chances in overtime, whoever wins the coin toss, wins the game.

 

[suspected]

I bet the KC offense is hoping that their defense just lets the Colts score on the next play. They probably feel better about their chances of scoring a TD, getting an onsides kick, and scoring a 2nd TD, rather than watch this agonizing display of a "defense".

He didn't have a chance on any of those runs. Did you see the game?

 

[Burning Sensation]

i throw here

 

[smlevin]

Incidentally - as far as the betting goes, so far it is almost a foregone conclusion that 3 of 4 dogs win so far.And if this holds, two road teams will win. Another busted 20 year trend.

 

[hector31]

J

I'd go for 1 in KC's position, but I love the question. And I think some teams in some situations should try the 2-pointer for the win, in lieu of the tie/overtime angle.NFL Films had a nice little segment on this not long ago, as part of a full-hour program.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Game is not over.J

 

[aardball44]

The Chiefs will have a dozen seconds to work a miracle.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Do you not want your best RB carrying the ball on a big 3rd and 8 there?J

 

[Burning Sensation]

yes it is

 

[Fallerjw]

are we going to see a punt?

You go for the TIE at home.. ROFL :rotflmao:
