Who was he throwing it to?

The browns defender. But honestly I’ve no idea.

17-01-2021 11:45pm

That pass was closer to me than any Chiefs player.

17-01-2021 11:46pm

Whoever allowed that play should be shot.

The only thing I thought was how his head jerked back at the end of the play.

MileHighGuy · 17-01-2021 11:47pm

That's the worst interception I've seen this year.... Both situationally and how poorly it was thrown.

Still all to do for the Browns. A repeat of the last drive would be something.

letowski · 17-01-2021 11:51pm

Those two unnecessary timeouts could be costly, if they need to score again after this drive.

Looked like he got clipped by the defenders helmet on the back of his. The most susceptible part of the head to concussion is the back.

Did nobody see him smash his head off the grass when tackled? Thats where the concussion came from.

MaddChris · 17-01-2021 11:53pm

For all the talk of how good the Browns O-line is, they really shat the bed there.

MileHighGuy · 17-01-2021 11:54pm

Hate teams that don't throw past the sticks on 3rd down like that.

I realise the Browns are quite good at screens, but those 3 play calls were a bit meh.

Oat23 · 18-01-2021 12:03am

Only the Browns could let Henne win the game on a 3rd and 14 scramble.

Agree, those screen plays on 3rd down are a load of dung. 95% chance of failure. May as well run it into the line of scrimmage as trying that play.

Ohmeha · 18-01-2021 12:06am

Browns gotta Brown

cosatron · 18-01-2021 12:06am

Since the int, the browns play calling was terrible on both offence and defence

paulie21 · 18-01-2021 12:07am

Some Balls by Andy Reid there

Itssoeasy · 18-01-2021 12:07am

Well it was a good run by Cleveland but they’ve come up short by KC had a bit of a wake up call from this game.

Faugheen · 18-01-2021 12:07am

Browns ****ting the bed aside, fair play to the absolute balls on Henne there.

Panrich · 18-01-2021 12:08am

A good first season for Stefanski even with a few dodgy decisions today. I think that we will be a better team next year so plenty of positives.

Ohmeha · 18-01-2021 12:08am

If you don't have Patrick Mahomes you always have a chance with Andy Reid

threeball · 18-01-2021 12:10am

Mahomes may not make it for next weeks game if the concussion is truly independently assessed. They're goosed if he doesn't play.

eagle eye · 18-01-2021 12:10am

Great game but I'm gonna say it. I'm a huge fan of Andy Reid and anybody here a long time knows that.
The decision to trust Henne there was stupid in my opinion. The smart decision there was a punt. If you didn't succeed there you gave the Browns the ball on the 50.

MileHighGuy · 18-01-2021 12:11am

If the Chiefs play like that against the Bills, I'd fancy they will lose.

Cleveland had an awful last drive, terrible playcalling, terrible execution, terrible clock management.

.... Fair play to Henne, the run on 3rd and 14 (nevermind the Browns D has to stand up there really) and the throw on 4th and inches was right on the money and he sold the "no play' play

I know what you mean, and I reckon the analytics might bear you out, but my guess is that's their "go to" play when they absolutely need a yard or two.... There wasn't a player within 3 yards of Hill on the catch.

MaddChris · 18-01-2021 12:15am

Apparently the average layoff after a confirmed concussion in the NFL is 19 days
But this is the NFL, money speaks louder than a person's health.

The way that he was wobbling after the play, you'd imagine that he should not be ready for the Bills. That clip is out there so they have to be very careful with how this is handled.

It was a great play call too.

Not one Browns player thought the ball was going to be snaped with Henne at shotgun. Like if they were truely faking it, to draw them offside, Henne would be under center calling out every cadence under the sun. The fact that Reid made it looked so obvious they were punting was a great double bluff.

Chiefs have been playing like that for 10 weeks. I don't see them changing for next week. I picked the Bills for the conference on the sky sports website and thats looking better than ever now.

DDC1990 · 18-01-2021 12:34am

Excited to see the Bucs take on the Saints next. The two games earlier this year were such a letdown but with Brady in the playoffs it's a totally different game (hopefully).

AB on offence means Gronk can just block like last week and gives Brady such a clean pocket. Hope that makes the difference.

BrentMused · 18-01-2021 12:34am

Drew Brees officially retiring at the end of this season, per Jay Glazer on Fox just now.

DDC1990 · 18-01-2021 1:00am

Depressing start by the Bucs. Playcalling on offence is horrible and special teams can't tackle.

D9Male · 18-01-2021 1:05am

Defence struggling to tackle, too.

threeball · 18-01-2021 1:08am

This could get ugly for the Bucs. Can't stop the run. Can't stop the pass, can't pressure the QB and can't protect their own. This could be a blowout.

18-01-2021 1:13am

Good start by Brees and co.

Itssoeasy · 18-01-2021 1:23am

Not the most exciting first quarter. I’m with Brady on being upset about blowing the play dead on the neutral zone infraction.

Itssoeasy · 18-01-2021 1:39am

TD tampa bay so 10-6.

golfball37 · 18-01-2021 1:41am

Drew’s arm is gone, was evident in last years play offs and even more so here this evening.

threeball · 18-01-2021 1:55am

Why is Arians carrying around what appears to be a CB radio from a 1980s Scania round his chest and back.

BrentMused · 18-01-2021 1:56am

Is there any chance the Buccaneers would try something other than running the ball on 1st down and taking long shots down the field on 3rd?

Feels like the exact same sequence every single time, and then they don't run in situations where they should.

Bizarre.

If you by the percentages and analytics then it was a bad call but this is Andy Reid and he has plays designed for everything. As said already, no one expected the ball to be snapped (especially Romo) but they went for the all or nothing approach and it came off. Easier to say in hindsight but I love the Chiefs for that sort of thing, and it's not the first time.

On Mahomes, I reckon he will play next week. Whether he should play is a different story.

Three AFC Championship games in a row at Arrowhead and it's great that the Chiefs are starting to become hated, never thought I'd see the day

It's some COVID device that let's them know when they're too close to someone. I think all the coaches have them.

I think it tracks other bits and bobs too.

BrentMused · 18-01-2021 2:15am

That look/glare from Brady after the Godwin drop! :eek::pac:

18-01-2021 2:17am

Is it a contractual obligation for kickers to point to the sky when they make a kick?

I heard the commentators saying this as well. One of his own players stood up and that's why it had to be stopped.

It's fine if it was Mahomes but it was Chad Henne, that's the reason I'm saying it was a bad decision. Look at the end zone throw earlier.

DDC1990 · 18-01-2021 2:25am

Bucs have played really poorly on offence and special teams but are level at HT.

Need to see Brady unshackled from Leftwich's predictable playcalls. Leaving us with too much to do on 3rd down.

Love Godwin so hope to see him get a few big catches in the 2nd half. 5 drops last week and 2 this week might have lost Brady's trust.

I get you, and the end zone throw was ridiculous. But I guess that made Reid go for it even more - literally no one expected the ball to be snapped...so they snapped it.

BrentMused · 18-01-2021 2:48am

Buccaneers play-calling is just baffling.

I haven't seen a whole lot of them this season. Is it always like this?

golfball37 · 18-01-2021 2:51am

Fournette is doing all he can, can’t understand why they not using him on 3rd down. Saints are dropping deep as they know what’s coming.
