Really do think KCs plan is to just run Hunt into the ground until Pacheco gets back. His touches are wild.

Kelce is a shell of his former glory

but the Bucs woulda been blasted had they went for 2 and missed it

Yeah, but it was still the right call to go for it.

Hate that the Bucs didn't go for 2 and the win. You simply don't take your chances against the Chiefs in OT.

Nah, I think everyone would understand the move and at least show us they have some balls

Hunt killed me in another league. I was up until OT.

Bowles still has no balls. Go for it and they win. Could be their season. Unreal.
Risk a coin flip and giving the ball to Mahomes IN KC, instead. So dumb, still hasn't learned by now?

Ok but what about if you’re on the road and one of the greatest qbs of all time gets the ball and just shoves it down your terrible defense. Why are we afraid of gambling on your best unit?!!!!

Pretty sure that's one instance where a vast majority would have agreed with a 2 pt try regardless if they made it or not
Don't give Mahomes a chance

Did the move to Wyoming make you take up fishing?

Mixing up Wyoming and Wisconsin is a good signal for bedtime. Probably not a lot of lakes in the former so I'm glad you got the joke.
I’m so tired of this narrative. I know you are being sarcastic, but every week the cry babies talk about the refs. How about giving credit to the team that’s 8-0.

Mahomes still got the ball back with 27 seconds left. They were 1 play for 15 yards away from giving Butker a chance to kick a FG. OT was never guaranteed even if they make the 2 point conversion.

Terrible decision to not go for 2 in that situation. You have to take the ending out of Mahomes hands and that’s the only way you can do it. Couple of tough press conferences in a row for Bowles
Judge Smails
Footballguy
You’re right. But that was only because Bowles called a terrible timeout

kc homer....told all my love ones TB will go for two if they score (same in the BAL game)....when I saw Baker trotting off the field I honestly couldn't believe it....I was like "thank you".....you were supposed to lose anyway ....why wouldn't you go for it.....4-4 why not....teams have to have a ton of plays they are confident in from two yards out.....seriously....even if if you don't make it, your team and fans think you had the confidence in them when you had the other team on their heels....I don't get it...

I don't think so. Easier to defend that than, "I felt good about our chances to win the coin toss"

Probably not. He’d already screwed up calling the timeout in the first place. Guy has no clue how to manage a game.

It's funny how everyone knew they should go for 2 at the end of regulation except Bowles.
Baker's reaction to the Chiefs winning the toss for OT said it all. He knew the game was lost right then.

Something I was thinking about after the game: Is Mahomes less dangerous with 27 seconds in a TIED game than if KC was trailing by 1? I think the answer is obviously yes. Keeping the game tied de-escalated KC's last drive.
My initial reaction was that the Bucs should have gone for two, but that would have just propelled the KC offense to get into scoring position to re-take the lead. KC's play calling would have been more aggressive to get into FG position being down one, and thus sealing the Buc's fate.
Alternatively, playing for OT had more merit than I originally considered... because of the time left on the clock (and KC's timeouts). Had TB done a better job of leaving less time on the clock before they scored, then the decision to go for 2 is more clear.

There was only time left on the clock because Bowles took a timeout, or had Baker take a timeout, after the play down to the one yard line with 35 seconds on the clock. Stupid move number one.
Then going for the extra point after the TD was just cowardly. Stupid move number two.
Sure, they'd have been going for it on that 4th and 1, but they never should have even touched the ball again. Tampa could have ran the ball on first down from the 1 yard line and then thrown it into the end zone three times without ever using their timeout. Get the TD with no time left. Go for 2. If you don't get it then fine at least you tried. Under no circumstances do you ever let Patrick Mahomes touch the ball again in that game. He already had back to back 70+ yard TD drives on your defense in the 4th quarter.
THEN Bowles has the audacity to say he decided to kick because of the "wet conditions." WHAT?!
The man is a buffoon.

Yeah, the "wet conditions" attempted excuse was hilarious and speaks to the fact he simply does not know any better. If anything, the wet conditions made the XP more sketchy.
I watched his post-game the week before and his way to answer another one of his gaffes in that game was the same. He makes it super simple and short -- the reasoning -- so as not to get nailed down on specifics. Keep it as vague as possible and get to the next question asap. It's actually one thing he's good at, probably because he's had to do it so many times by now, literally.
He couples it with some diversion, like "we left some plays out there, it's football, it happens." "We had our chances." Then he'll quickly try and turn the page to the following week and show "resilience" or whatever by saying we'll get back to work, we have a game next week and we have to be ready for that. No way, really Todd? Thanks, we had no idea. And thanks for dancing around your game-changing mistakes, yet again.
It's a tired script, should not be an NFL Head Coach.
