[Dwight Hottle]

KC played to win. Congrats.

[Bird]

Very entertaining game, what I was hoping for.

Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs.

[flatcreek]

Smart play by KC at the end. glad Buttkicker nailed it for the win

[WRB]

Pool with #5 & 8 horrible but... right numbers wrong teams for me?

[NorcalBassin]

That was a great game. Wasn't rooting for either one and just wanted a close, entertaining game... it delivered!

[TnRiver46]

Wish the refs would have stayed out of it……… 

 

pipe dream I suppose 

[GaryH]

Congrats to KC. and Andy Reid..

And Bradley admitted he held the receiver.The hold was called on the inside break which was legit.

 Definitely a sketchy holding call there at the end too.

Who's Bradley?  The defender is James Bradberry.

 

The replay after the initial play didn't show that part, so I could see why many people thought it was a sketchy penalty.

Eagles lost and I had the over, so win/win. Go Giants!

Booing Dak was pretty classy.

 

Coach Reid played the end perfectly. But, I do wish the rules were such that there'd be disincentive to flopping short of the goal line near the end.  Not at all sure what could be changed, but the last couple minutes were as disappointing to me as an NBA game with nothing but free throws for last minute of a game.  

 

    I only sort of half-watched the game, but it seemed like some horrid secondary play all game.  Seemed like every dropback there was someone in the secondary that was totally lost. 

 

   NFL should be totally embarrassed by the condition of that field.  That had direct affect on plays... and the outcome... more so than any blown call/ non-call

Bradberry is correct

That looks like almost every single corner defense play...in the NFL... all season.  May have been a 'by the books' call... but it should have been a non-call... in my opinion

Haha.  On the radio this morning they said the only thing worse than the condition of the turf was the halftime show!

Booing Cowboys (except Landry) is always proper.

[Bird]

The MVP of this game was the Chiefs offensive line, no sacks allowed to a team that had the 3rd highest sack total in history.

 

We will likely see Mahomes and Andy deep in the playoffs for a long time...... Brady like.

Andy

I heard a rumor that he was considering retirement.

That would be a blow, he's an elite coach.

There's no way they could legislate that out of the game as it’s just another strategy that happens in all games. 
 

I agree tho it was a bad look when he went down and 3 defenders backed off to let him score.

I certainly hope so.  I suffered through the bad times when Lamar Hunt brought in has been quarterbacks who couldn’t win.  His son has turned the franchise around by being willing to spend money and bring in quality people.

The receiver went to the inside and he was attempting to release to the outside,’’ referee Carl Cheffers said to a pool reporter. “The defender grabbed the jersey with his right hand and restricted him from releasing to the outside. So, therefore, we called defensive holding.

Did the city of philadelphia sustain any damage after the game?

Really, cause I can think of at least 5 ways of doing it. My favorite is a certain number of points for the defense + the ball, similar to a safety. You can make the rules anything you want, no? What am I missing.  Roller Ball!, Roller Ball!...

That’s the same field everyone was slipping on during Michigan vs TCU. Always soaking wet in a desert

Ya, there's no excuse for it.  They've had weeks to prepare that surface and turn it into pristine playing shape, and failed.  If I'm not mistaken, its a roll out field.  They literally roll it out into the desert sun during the day and then roll it inside prior to the game.  I know that players much prefer the feel of natural grass rather than turf.  I am pretty sure Las Vegas has the same type of field where they roll it outside into the desert sun.
