NFL 2016-17 playoffs running thread

I feel bad for KC fans because their coach is inept. Nothing like a solid 6 minute drive down 8 while blowing a timeout to give yourself a chance with 2:40 left.

 

Terrible play by Justin Gilbert giving up at least five yards on that kickoff return. The Chiefs are going to get the ball back in good field position unless Bell can somehow break a good run.

Edit: Roethlisberger with one play to win the game. Third-and-four at his own 11.

 

Gutsy call there with the second down pass. That could have been majorly second-guessed if it was incomplete.

 

Yup. Hell of a play by Roethlisberger and Brown with the game on the line, too.

 

Good game but makes the AFC championship a nothing burger.

 

I'm not sure why you would say that. I get what you are thinking about the history, but no way the Chiefs win in New England. The Steelers are a tougher matchup for the Patriots, though no way an effort like tonight will get it done.

 

Well, good luck next week OOP, I'll be at Gillette next week vomiting in my mouth.

 

I must admit, I didn't really see KC coming. I thought they were an average to slightly above-average team before tonight. That's what comes from seeing about 15 snaps from them this season.

 

No one sees Andy Reid coming. He slices like a ninja and cuts like a razor blade.

 

Travis Kelce blamed the Chiefs' loss on the officials. He claimed that the holding call on Fisher which wiped out the tying two-point conversion was a bad call, saying that James Harrison "fell down." Of course, he fell down because Fisher reached out and grabbed him, but Kelce doesn't want to hear that. He went on to say the official who through the flag shouldn't get to officiate another game.

Maybe Kelce should remember that he took an idiotic penalty and dropped a deep ball in the second half.

Edit: Here is the quote: "Number 51 should not be allowed to wear a zebra jersey ever again. He shouldn't even be allowed to work at fucking Foot Locker."

 

Sitting in my car outside Arrowhead as I type, waiting for traffic to clear. Great atmosphere, as one would expect in the "world's loudest stadium."

Keen observation: Steelers fans can't hold their liquor. And their towels are terrible.

 

If the Steelers lose, do you go rabid?
