AFC Divisional GAME
- Thread starter quip
- Start date
Was a ridiculously stupid call by Reid there, I don’t care if it worked or not. A QB sneak has a very high chance of success and was an obvious and easy call to make. Too many bad things can happen throwing the ball there, the fact it worked doesn’t make it any less stupid.
A punt would’ve been a bad call, but this one was really bad.

I don’t disagree. I was yelling at the TV when I saw him lined up in the shot gun. Having said that it was a gutsy call. Make it and your a genius. Miss it and you’re an idiot
What else can you expect from a guy that said before the game he was willing to give the Steelers the underneath stuff?
I didn't have a problem with it. He lulled them to sleep, and it was just such a layup. I might even like my chances better with that than with a backup qb handling a snap and sneaking it in a high-pressure situation.
How do you not throw the kitchen sink at Henne and make him get the ball out quickly.
I guess when you already have a SB win in your pocket you can do that, but to me it was reminiscent of Reid’s playoff foibles from earlier in his career when he would consistently throw the ball in spots where he should’ve ran it.
Yup. Like I said it was inches and a Qb sneak is almost a slam dunk first down. The play they called was much higher risk
Exactly. And I know Garrett was injured but even at 60%, he needed to be out there every down. Defense isnt nearly the same without him.
So the only chance we see an underdog in the divisional championship round is if Charlie Brown himself, Tom Brady, can pull one out.
Just like Aaron Donald. These players are such huge long terms investments that teams are afraid to break them.
I completely agree. It is the equivalent to idiots hitting on 18 when the dealer is showing a 7. It might work out, but it is still the wrong play.
I might be defending it too much after seeing the fact that it worked, but I'm guessing he had to see exactly what he liked before going through with the snap.
One of the announcers pointed out that Mahomes sat out their last game, giving Henne a full game of action. Looks like a very good decision now.
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, I mean he had an obviously banged up Mahomes running the option on the play that ended up knocking him out of the game.
If it's going to risk further damage then sure, don't play them. But it didn't seem that way since they were playing Donald and Garrett, albeit sparingly.
Thanks for the advice slap nuts. I am much further in the green, so no worries. I jumped on the Browns and over 12.5 (2nd Half).
The only reason the game was close was because the Chiefs kicker blew an easy kick, missed an XP, and Mahomes got hurt. Otherwise it would have been a much larger victory. Even a blind squirrel gets lucky once in awhile. Congrats!
