You say common sense and everyone keeps saying this ….but when was the last time you saw this? It’s an emergency situation but teams typically would rather not. Bc you significantly raise the chances he’s gona miss that kick under duress

Either way, you have 1 play. I can’t say what I was thinking it in real time bc I only saw the replay, but my thought would be DONT call timeout bc I’d rather get the cheap short pass on a scrambling D THEN call timeout. And 9/10 that’s what would have happened if he just snapped the ball and it bothers me that NOBONE is saying that lol

It comes back to coaching again though in that they should've already had a play in the tuck for the situation. Caleb shouldn't have been waiting for a play call they should've fired one in immediately and ready to go and not have the team waiting 10-15 seconds just to get a play call in for that situation. If the coaches knew they had no play ready call a timeout and give yourself time to regroup.

The D wasn't scrambling. In the two minute drill most Defense are playing pretty base coverage so they won't be confused.

Actually, all of that goes on the OC

And that goes to a point that I’ve made a few times and it’s very but idgaf: people get stuck on narratives x we’ve over corrected how we treat black coaches/QBs, so now people treat black OCs, coaches, and QBs with kid gloves Dudes been dikkeating the young black OC the last 2 weeks so now he can’t be criticized

And again, Eberflus is the #1 blame but it bothers me Caleb and Brown just over there unscathed

Isiah Pacheco's return from injury gives the Chiefs a bevy of riches in their rushing attack

Pacheco's role could be clouded by the presence of his replacement, Kareem Hunt, who leads the Chiefs in rushing with 577 yards.

Right on cue. Now watch this. Let’s see the coverage Antonio Pierce gets vs what Eberflus got. Bc all clock management mistakes fall on the coach right?

The Raiders executive team have mastered the art of the tank. After Mark Davis fleeced Sheldon Adelson to use his contacts to get Vegas to pay for the stadium then ghosted him I thought it might have been a fluke, but hiring Antonio Pierce is a genius level move for him trying to end up with Shadeur. That roster has actual talent on it and it's impossible that their record is their record.

They could be at little better but they are a bottom 5 roster

That roster beat Baltimore earlier this year. The QB is dog shyt, but the rest of them are talented, even if they're no names they're talented.

the raiders wasnt serious about this year going into it with a QB battle between Minshew and O'Connell

1. ‘Any given Sunday’

2. I mean, it’s the league. EVERY team has talent. Literally. Every single one. Just by sheer numbers and happenstance

So as a result teams are typically as good as the limitations of the QB. The Raiders do not have the talent to overcome bad to middling QB play. Hence they are a bottom 5 team. Last year was their best case scenario they went 8-9 with every bounce going their way. Replaced Davante and Jacobs with Bowers and ….Christian Wilkins. They are what a 2-10 team looks like

Bradys pats post spygate cheating has never looked as bad as this chiefs team looks now.
