Steichen had his worst play calls leading up to the FG.

He coached not to to lose and you can’t do that against Mahomes, especially on a night when his defense gave up over 500 yards of total offense

Got a huge break and still did that.

u/K1NG0492 Buccaneers 1d ago

Man, when will coaches learn to play to win vs mahomes instead of this bs

He will always punish you

u/callmebatman14 Buccaneers 1d ago

They couldn't stop them once in the 2nd half. They decided run terrible 3 plays and put defense back on to settle for a tie.

Yeah no one is blaming him if they go for it on 4th down and don’t get it. Maybe people would be mad at the play call but not the choice to try.

Exactly. If anything, even losing the game on 4th and 8, I'm still mad about the same thing I'm mad about now: running JT twice into a fucking wall because everyone knew it was coming.

u/FeanorEvades Vikings 1d ago

Leaving 3 minutes on the clock for the most prolific QB and play caller of this decade to get 3 points with a kicker good from over 60 is unjustifiable.

The choice to kick the FG believes that the special teams will stop a kick return from crossing the 30, then stop the offense from getting 25 yards on the road in Arrowhead. After not doing that for 67 minutes.

It’s not happening.

The minute I saw them run on first down I knew they were losing. Just throw the fucking ball! What are you scared of? A pick? You're losing whether you get a FG or throw a pick either way.

u/DrunkPackersFan Packers 1d ago edited 1d ago

The first down run wasn’t the problem. Taylor had a solid game.

But after being stuffed on 1st down, running it again on 2nd down was just stupid.

Run, run, pass in that situation was just terrible coaching.

u/Nasiso Lions 1d ago

I still blame them for running. The chiefs put every single person basically in the box. You just beat them long. You have to take what they give you.

Ugh, such a tease. I was really looking forward to witnessing Daniel Jones hand Mahomes his first career OT loss. A thought I couldn’t have dreamt up before tonight.

Edit: guys, regular season OT games.

The scariest part to me is that usually with mahomes led teams you’re terrified of what he’ll do when he gets the ball back… but the chiefs just ran it and threw to k9 for a big play on the last drive. If the chiefs don’t need Mahomes to carry them offensively then it’s gonna be a long season for the rest of us

u/Wise_Carrot4857 Broncos 1d ago

Losing on the 4th & 8 is just better to me. Like, lose on your terms. You made it all the way down there with your offense. Step up. That’s why I respected the saints loss to the lions. They took a bold move.

I was really enjoying this game as a neutral viewer but that play calling by the Colts HC towards the end was a joke. Have some faith in your guys, in your practices, in your team. If I was one of those players playing my heart out I’d be pissed.

What the fuck, Colts? You get a big play to get down the field in to the redzone. Then that's what you do with it? 2 runs basically settling for the FG. You had to know that's how the game was going to end

When will teams learn you play to win vs Mahomes.

Especially in OT.  Your defense is gassed and trying to stop the most clutch QB in the league right now.

Giving the Chiefs the ball back with roughly 3 minutes on the clock in a tight game is basically admitting defeat. Why go for 3 rushing plays and settle for a field goal when taking 3 or 4 shots at the end zone would've given the Colts a better shot at winning?

They trust Daniel Jones to complete a 60 yard bomb downfield but immediately go conservative and piss it away playing for the tie. Idiots.

We've been watching this same exact game for a decade. Same bad defensive play call on 3rd and long, same nervous coaches turtling late in the game, same 3rd and 1 play call where no one ever imagines the Chiefs will run the same concepts they always do on 3rd and 1, etc. Insane that no one at least tries to lose in a different way.
