NFL 2023 Part II - Are the Chiefs actually human?

Ravens are self destructing.

Ravens are self destructing.

Good idea but stupid execution on the penalty.

[Todd Gack]

Smart move, tbh with that intentional offsides (albeit too rough). not sure if they were trying for that though.

[Roy Tucker]

I think that’s a ball game there.

Ugly game by the Ravens. Chiefs did what they had to do to win it.

[Todd Gack]

Welp, time to start rooting for the 49ers to win. I think they match up the best with KC.

[RedsBaron]

No way I'll root for the 49ers. They have two Super Bowl wins over the Bengals.

[RichRed]

Ravens gave up on the running game way too early, which seems like a bad idea for a team that excels at running the ball.

Not to mention all the other ways Lamar and the guys shot themselves in the foot.

They were in the red zone twice and turned the ball over. Just incredible.

[Todd Gack]

Kansas City did a good job keeping Baltimore's defense "off balance" today. They made them look very soft even though they only scored 17 points. It was a good game plan from them. They deserved to win and the ywere the #1 reason Baltimore looked bad.

[Roy Tucker]

Jan Stenarud looks pretty good.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals are the only ones who can beat Mahomes and Andy Reid. Jackson can't do it when it counts. Neither can Josh Allen

[WVRed]

As much as I hate seeing the Chiefs in another Super Bowl, watching the Ravens implode is well worth it.

Lamar is who we thought he was. All razzle dazzle but no matter how many times you put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig. He's never came through in the clutch and I doubt he will ever get an opportunity to get this close to a Super Bowl again (at least have home field advantage).

Only thing that would make this better would be if Mike MacDonald was announced as Seahawks head coach later this week.

Right. Because Josh Allen played much better. Allen was playing hurt earlier in the year too and ran Allen less because of it. I understand why they fired Dorsey but they were still pretty good with him in the previous years. They were just in a rut at the time.

For the record I have zero problem with Taylor Swift. Have never been a real fan or anything, but I appreciate what she’s done for music and she seems like a swell person.

But the whole side show around her and Kelce is annoying. As if The Chiefs weren’t already the darlings of the media, now Taylor Swift is part of the “Chiefs Experience”. Cool.

[Boston Red]

If only we could all be as zen as you.

Sure, Zen or whatever. The point is that people are going to watch and are going to be interested. Some because they love Mahomes, Kelce, Swift and/or the Chiefs. And some, like you, specifically because they hate one or more of the above. Dook wasn't great for ratings all those years just because of people who loved them.

But good point on watching the SB anyway. Even the Swifties who only watch the NFL for Taylor already watched the Super Bowl. This year they may watch some of the game and not just the commercials and halftime show, though.

[757690]

Completely anecdotal, and probably doesn’t mean anything, but…

I’ve been watching NFL playoff games at this one sports bar near me for years. The ratio usually is 9/10 male to 1/10 female. Today it was around 2/3 male, 1/3 female. There were even a few small female only groups, which I had never seen before.

This is in LA and probably doesn’t hold up once Taylor and Travis break up (my guess is that she’s already thinking of words that rhyme with “fumble” and “interception”) but this is what the NFL and other sports have been trying to see, a wider demographic.

[Stray]

Campbell should have gone for it at the end of the 1st half. It was the kill shot and he had to take it. Kicking the FG was the scared play, and his team played that way for the entire 2nd half. They were better than the 9ers, just played themselves.

In retrospect it’s shocking he didn’t. I remember thinking it was smart to take the points and go up by 3 scores, but at the same time it’s shocking that he didn’t go for it there considering he *did* go for it in much worse spots on the field to be risking a turnover on downs.

[Sea Ray]

No, going for it at the end of the second qtr would have been particularly reckless. Being overly reckless is why they lost. They didn’t need more than that

Fascinating that in addition to Lamar being ordinary in a big game, the Ravens lost due to being undisciplined. John Harbaugh is supposedly one of the best coaches in the league and this falls on him. Lots of personal fouls, 12 men on the field after a change of possession. Your player injuring himself on the sideline. Those are all discipline issues

Campbell just kinda coached the way he had all season. I think he should have kicked the FG in the 4th to tie it, but other than that seemed fine. The Gibbs fumble was the biggest play and the catch off the face mask was close behind.

I was thinking about the Chiefs in the 2022 AFCCG when they went for it on the goal line before half. They should've just kicked the FG instead of giving us momentum going into half.

[RedTeamGo!]

Kinda funny. Lions fans are the least pissed about Campbell's coaching decisions today it seems. That is how Campbell coached all year and that is a big part of the reason why got where they did.

As a semi-Lions fan (grew up in Toledo), it was frustrating, but the more I think about it the more I am OK with Campbell's decisions. He has been aggressive since he set foot in Detroit. I hope he doesn't change how he coaches on gameday.

Pretty meh on this SB matchup.

Pros - SF skill players
Cons - Repeat matchup of 2020 SB, Mahomes

Game hasnt even been played yet and i've already seen sports media members trying to crown him as the best ever. I know it's their job to do this stuff and stir the pot but it's one of those moments where you pause because there is no actual way they can believe that at this point. Now there is a difference if they're saying Mahomes is "the best they've ever seen" as opposed to "Mahomes is the best QB", but the ones saying the later, no way.

[bucksfan2]

Just saw this analogy:

Dan Campbell got a 20 on blackjack and still said "Hit me"

Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk

I was playing blackjack once and this idiot kid was making all these crazy plays. Staying on 16 when the dealer is showing a 10. He hit on a hard 17 when the dealer was showing a bust card, only to draw a 4 and think he was a genius. In the end he lost all his money, but it was maddening and funny to watch all at once.

Dan Campbell is the same way. He had the Lions ready to play, and they executed to perfection in the 1st half. The 1st fourth down should have been converted, that pass had to be caught. I do think simple things like going up 3 scores changes the scope and scale of the game. I thought Campbell needed to kick those FG's in the 2nd. You needed to get points, and getting stopped helped turn the momentum of the game. I remember when the Bengals made their runs the previous 2 seasons, Taylor really relied on McPherson to kick long FG's. Detroit was the recipient of some poor luck, the long pass off the DB's face mask. Although I do think had that not been caught the refs would have called PI. But I think the game changes drastically if Detroit goes up 17 early in the 2nd half, instead of staying at 14 and seeing their lead dwindle away.

I think Campbell will be a little less aggressive going forward. It's not a winning strategy. He seems like a very introspective guy.

If Dan Campbell went conservative and still lost this game, many in the media and on here, start blasting him for playing conservative and not to win the game. Dan stayed true to himself and the way he has coached this team all season. Good on him!

Least? All the ones I saw were calling for his head.

Yes he was too aggressive. But he didn't drop a ball right in the stomach on third down or fumble the ball right after SF cut it to a one score game. A lot of what happened in the third quarter was self inflicted.

It's easy to blame the coach but the players choked in critical moments. At least the Lions made it interesting unlike Baltimore who went into full meltdown mode.

[kaldaniels]

I guess I think it’s just a learning experience all around.

17 point lead at halftime? That’s where you scheme to put the squeeze on your opponent and focus on mistake free football…knowing that you are probably just one score away from icing the victory.

Dropped balls, blown coverages, letting Purdy escape…everyone just pissed that game away.

I liken it to teams going for 2 when they just scored a TD late in the game and the XP would tie it.

Not the exact same odds but there’s a “going for the win” argument. Especially if you think your team is gassed/out of momentum and doesn’t stand a good chance in OT. Sometimes you gotta try to steal it.

That said I’d have kicked it.

This right here.

I think many would be surprised at how many posts on various social media platforms are just bots manufacturing outrage, to garner clicks for one reason or another.

If Campbell would have gone conservative, the bots blast him for that, to get the clicks.
If he goes with the gutsy call, the bots blast him for that, to get the clicks.
Turn on ESPN for 5 minutes, if you want to see actual people acting like bots. Same concept.

Meanwhile, ask any actual fan and more often than not they're like "meh, I'm good with the play call."

If Manufactured Outrage For Profit isn't on your 2024 Bingo Card, it should be. Just add it in-between Greedflation and En****ification.

[RiverRat13]

Kinda wild how often people are saying Dan Campbell should have “taken the points" last night. Those kicks were hardly automatic! PK Mike Badgley is 50% in his career (7-14) outdoors from 45-49 yards, per @ESPNStatsInfo. Hasn't made one since the 2020 season.

@SeifertESPN

[BuckeyeRed27]

I am not sure that is a winning strategy going forward though...its a fine line between being aggressive and reckless. Down 3 in the 4th quarter chance to tie the game take the points.

I would have kicked, but it was a 48 yarder. It’s not a “take the points” situation.

[bucksfan2]

@SeifertESPN

Then that is on Campbell for having a poor kicker. In today's NFL, if you are less than 50% from over 50 yards, or even 55 yards that is pretty poor. Just for fun I looked at McPherson and he is 23-30 from 40-49 and 21-28 50+ over his career. You need to be able to hit the long FG in order to be a successful NFL kicker.

But lets assume he hits the FG to go up 17 in the 3rd. You then give SF the ball on the 25 instead of the 35 yard line. Make them march a little bit longer. And even if they do march for a TD, the pressure isn't quite amped up when you get the all up 10 on your next possession.

I think playing for Campbell is fun, exciting, and the go for broke attitude I am sure plays well with his players. But at some point you have to temper that down. I think the decision to kick the FG at the end of the 1st half was the right decision. Sure a TD may have iced the game, but going up 3 scores against a Shannahan offense that doesn't play well from behind was a smart decision. They executed to perfection in the 1st half and the decisions that Campbell made took a potential 6 points off the board, and gave SF the momentum. Had they worked it was game over, heck if they make the first FG I think its game over. But we all know what happened.

Those drops (chokes) tend to happen in big games. You can't coach the same way in an NFC Championship game as you would a game in Detroit vs the Bears. Just 'cause your stats say you can convert vs the Bears or the Panthers doesn't mean you can do it in Santa Clara vs the 49ers in late January. Campbell coached like he was a player and not like a head coach

Absolutely. There were two drives in the 4th quarter, where there was obvious pass interference against the Chiefs. I realize the Ravens made some bonehead mistakes, but the Chiefs only had 3 penalties for a mere 30 yards, while the Ravens had 8 for 95 yards.

Once again, in the playoffs the Chiefs rarely get called for penalties. Shocking

Same...my daughter may watch more than a quarter this year...though I am proud she calls Mahomes a big baby every time he hits the screen.

Her audience is vast my wifes principal bought playoff tix to the Bills game not because she likes the Bills but because she was in the same orbit as Swift. Its unreal that someone would drop that kind of dime to snap a photo.

The ratings are going to be through the roof.

They are already through the roof. 115M people watched last year.

If this is a close game with the Taylor Swift factor included…maybe that gets to 120M. The biggest factor is how close the game is, that swings it by 10M or so.

[Bob Sheed]

The last 15 Super Bowls have had roughly the same audience. The NFL doesn’t care who plays in the game.

Anyone who has daughters will tell you that you are dramatically underestimating the Taylor Swift effect.

[The Operator]

I’m so excited for Operator’s 10 hate-posts during the Super Bowl!

Let the anger flow through you!

Depending on how frisky I’m feeling, might bump it up to 20. Or more accurately, depending on whether the Chiefs are winning and if any funny business with the refs takes place. :p

[BuckeyeRed27]

Yes I understand Taylor swift is immensely popular and will help the ratings to some degree. Over 100M people are going to watch no matter who plays. That’s not gonna be 170M before she will be in a box. If it’s a close game good chance it sets a record though.

Forbes speculated she will bring in an extra 15 million viewers...if she can make it back from Tokyo in time. Total viewer estimate 130 million...

[Hillsdale87]

Absolutely. There were two drives in the 4th quarter, where there was obvious pass interference against the Chiefs. I realize the Ravens made some bonehead mistakes, but the Chiefs only had 3 penalties for a mere 30 yards, while the Ravens had 8 for 95 yards.

Once again, in the playoffs the Chiefs rarely get called for penalties. Shocking

The refs also cost the Chiefs a TD at the end of the first half with back to back terrible holding calls and missed an obvious tripping penalty against Chris Jones that would have resulted in a safety.

The Ravens played like a team lacking composure and the Chiefs played like a team that's used to the moment.

I think the number of times they show her is a big objection. If she was on once for 33 seconds, that's no more time than a commercial. When it gets to be several times for 5-6 seconds at a time, that's when the complainers come out. But, yeah, a lot of it is politically charged.

What I'm curious to know is how many times do they show Jerry Jones during a Cowboys game. Or Carrie Underwood at a Cowboys game when Tony Romo was dating her. Of Bob Kraft when New England is playing. Jake Browning's girlfriend got a lot of screen time the last several games of the Bengals season. Point is that this is not a new phenomenon.

What do politics have to do with Taylor Swift. She’s not Joan Baez or John Lennon showing up in 1974 on MNF.

I agree, but why is it in big playoff games the Chiefs are rarely penalized? Are they so composed they don’t commit penalties? Please

Last year in AFC championship game against Jaguars 3 penalties for 30 yards.

Last year in the Super Bowl against Eagles they had 3 penalties for 14 yards.

Against the Bills in playoffs this year. 2 penalties for 15 yards.

Now another 3 for 30 against the Ravins this year.

That’s only 11 penalties for 89 yards in 4 games.

See the trend? Not hard to win when your always MUCH less penalized, than the team your playing. This in a game that a penalty could be called every play. Cleanest team ever, apparently.

You have to understand... when you penalize the Chiefs, you are penalizing State Farm. And Subway. And quite a few other large companies. It's fine to do it every once in a while. It's football after all. Just don't make it a habit. Especially right before a commercial break, or when one of those split screen ads are going on.

I find Taylor Swift to be tiresome. My girls and wife listened to her all summer and winter long. I have a rule in my car, you can request any song but Taylor. I am just tired of the music. Its not my kind of music, I respect her greatness, just have enough.

Honestly I don't think its politics at all with her, I think its the networks finding something the normal view doesn't tune in for. My kids want to watch the Chiefs now because of her, and outside of Joe Burrow, Chase, and maybe Higgins, they know Kelce and Mahomes.

I always thought that Travis Kelce has to have balls the size of pickle jars to go after Taylor Swift. I mean, he’s a big NFL star and all that but from the Corn Belt and Swift is in another quantum leap of global popularity. But Kelce thought “yeah, Taylor Swift, I’m going to ask her out”. Sometimes I think it was a bar bet or something “hey, I bet you can’t ask out Taylor Swift, bwaahaha”.
