GDT: Superb Owl Thread

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Seems like you had about as much interest in it than I did!

I was fast asleep by game time. Had to be up by 4:30 am (12:30 am Edm time) to catch a flight to the Amazon.

On another note it’s f***ing HOT AND HUMID HERE. IVE MELTED.

Ahh I forgot. Bit no sympathy for the heat! Hope you guys are having a wonderful time!

2 stops left on the trip. Here and if I make it out alive, Rio.

I’m infusing tremendous amounts of beer to refill the fluid levels. I don’t think I’ve ever pounded 2 tall boys back like that in my life and that includes all my irresponsible teenage drinking.

Good for you!
At least it's beer. First time in any hot spot vacation I made the mistake of the ole sugary Pina Colada x who knows in the afternoon heat. Let's just say I had to waste the next day of holiday!

Take care and safe travels. We may need your GDTs soon!

So the Chiefs were going to take the ball second should they have won the toss, and then in the event that both teams scored a major they would have gone for a 2 point convert to decide the game? Yeah I don't buy that for a second.

Taking the ball first is the right call. The 49ers lost because they failed to execute.

Sudden death after the first 2 possessions. So do you trust you D in OT after playing that many snaps or do you put all of your faith in your O on a 2 point play? That is what it would come down to.

Once KC got into FG range then they would have to decide to kick a FG if they got to 4th down. Either can go for it which is the game or kick a FG. Depends on the distance. But something under 5 yards they are likely going for it.

SF had like 4th and 5 before their OT FG. Could have gone for it as wel but opted for the FG and trust the D to only give up a FG and then get the ball for sudden death.

Except all the Chiefs would have had to do to avoid needing to gamble the game on one 2 point convert(or a 4th and goal) is just choose to receive first. Then it doesn't matter what the 49ers do because the Chiefs get the ball back into the hands of Patrick Mahomes in a sudden death situation.

That's kinda the point.

Defences were getting tired on both sides.

So comes down to who you trust. A tired D or your Offence from the 2 yard line to win the game?

Based on their comments of which decision they would make, KC would bet on Mahomes.
SF wouldn't make the same bet.

Neither decision is wrong. But, if I have a QB I believe in, then I'd put the ball in his hands. If I didn't then I would trust the overall team.

You can’t deny the greatness of the Chiefs and Mahomes but I think they’re a bunch of sandbaggers and so it’s hard for me to really consider them entertaining. They always look very pedestrian right up until the possession they absolutely have to a score on then they just March down the field and score like it’s nothing.

My prediction before the game yesterday was they’ll “struggle” to score all game but the D will keep them within striking distance and then Mahomes will just waltz down the field and score on the last possession of the game but I didn’t expect them to go to OT.

For me this is the first year that the entertainment aspect of the Chiefs has slipped, and that’s mainly due to the low grade WR’s they’ve had to use this year. Mahomes spent the first half of the year trying to replicate prior years offensive production, and it just wasn’t working, and his stats showed that he was trying to do too much. In the last few months they realized how good their D was, and went with the classic Belichick/Brady philosophy, just make less mistakes than your opponent does, and rely on your D. Smart coaching by Reid and play by Mahomes to recognize that and play to their newish strengths.

 

[bellagiobob]

Incredible numbers. Wow.

 

[Mr Kot]

Incredible numbers. Wow.

Maybe NFL team in Canada soon ? Would be a good way to get a whole country together.

Kudos for them being able to adapt but much like the Patriots dynasty years, when you’re a fan who doesn’t care who wins one way or the other and just wants to see an exciting game, it gets a little boring when you know a certain team is gonna just hang around and then become unstoppable for a single possession and that’s the difference. They never look dominant like that during an entire game, they do just enough to keep themselves within one score and then just go unstoppable mode for one drive.

I don’t know why it gets under my skin, probably because it feels like it makes 80% of the game irrelevant.

That said it took some incredible luck to set that situation up. If that punt doesn’t hit the SF players foot or if SF doesn’t miss that point after kick, the game is over and they win. Though something tells me if either of those things don’t happen then we see a Mahomes miracle drive last possession of the football game instead of in OT.

Unlike us fans, the teams don’t give a shit how exciting it is. Only care about the ring at the end of the year.

I mean, their offense this year was pretty damn mediocre. Don't have a lot there outside Mahomes and Kelce so they relied on those 2 and the d...a lot.

If the NFL is ever in Toronto there is 0 chance I’d cheer for it.

Hate the Jays, hate the Raptors, hate the FC. I think it’s due to the vertigo I suffer from a lifetime of the earth spinning around that place.

She nailed the reply. lol.

I hope the field collapses like in The Dark Knight Rises.

That was an unreal scene!

People mostly care for the event and not the game itslef.

I wouldn't say no to a team but the whole league would go into lockouts before losing the superbowl to a canadian team.

World champions!
