How does Mahomes go from having a 152 QB rating in the first half to a 15 in the second half? Did the Bengals change their defensive approach at halftime and if so what precisely did they do differently?
He seriously had some brain farts. He looks like his crazy brother and wife have messed with his head. BUT, Andy Reid had a TERRIBLE game. The end of both halves was Pete Carroll hormonal ridiculous play callingly bad. All they had to do was run the ball at the end of the 4th quarter and they probably win on a late TD. But, he couldn't help himself...and settle for a 45 yard FG after losing like 25 yards on three plays!

The end of the first half? Epic stupidity. Think second and goal and Fake FG against Atlanta all tied into one. That said, not one target for what is really their only redzone target in Kelce? They don't have that guy they can throw the fade to, but spreading them out and running the ball, or even calling a QB draw just might have worked. Instead? They looked in the Redzone like a team, TWICE, that has no idea how to play offense.

I don't know how Chief fans are handling this, but Russell, Pete and Waldron would be getting killed by the ten or so fans that post in here if we lost that way. The media would have come up with sixteen excuses by now.
Here is some reaction. Once again all they had to do was throw beyond the line to gain (the goal line in this case) How are coaches and players making 10s and 100s of millions such idiots so often.

I'm not talking about super bowl ratings. I'm saying success of an LA team keeps the fair-weather fans engaged, which means $$ for the NFL.

So, there is only one game to chose from, but Yahoo still makes you assign points? I guess that is what I get for making my pick on my phone. Oops.

Ha I saw that. Beats putting 16 on the Bengals!

Like I have said, next year we will do CBS Sports site. So much better and I can't do any worse than I did this season. :( At least I finished well so I have something to build on. lol

I had a decent run in the playoffs. Changed those two picks in round two which hurt, and I was off on both CCGs, but still 9 and 4 in the playoffs, I think.

Beats my 7 game losing streak. That was insane.

The playoffs were a crapshoot this year. Anyone that claims they had a strong sense of how it would turn out is full of it.

I really had a strong sense the playoffs would turn out exactly how they did this year.

Same here. I especially knew the Chiefs would go to OT two games in a row, winning the coin flip both times and winning the first game and losing the second game. lol My only surprise was that Geno Smith didn't lead us to a SB title.
