Request: let's not make this about one play
 

This game came down to basically a coin flip. Hats off to the GOAT QB, GOAT coach and incredible offense who made every single play when they needed to.

What I personally don't want is for this to become "The Dee Ford Game" or one of the other plays. We stood toe to toe with the greatest coach and QB of all time, and lost by a hair.

Also Brady may have seen the flag and knew he had a free play - which might have affected his decisions.

This game came down to 100 plays imo - the pats made 51 of them, we made 49.

IMO - let's just keep that as the narrative in our minds. I don't want to add this game to the canon of "we got ****ed" games. We didn't get ****ed imo. We just made one less play than they did in a classic nail-biter that came down to a handful of plays.

Tough shit. This is Dee Ford's legacy.

Agreed.

Can't just blame it all on Ford's penalty. They had plenty of chances and made a lot of mistakes in all aspects (including special teams) to come up short. Examples:

*Mahomes missed an open TD pass in first half.
*Mahomes took a sack on the next play that cost them a field goal.
*Offense scored zero points in the first half. HUGE deal there.
*Tyreek's punt return and Kelce's drop setup the Patriots for an easy field goal.
*Berry's dropped INT.
*The OL shitting their pants the entire first half.
*The defense being unable to make any plays down the stretch.
*The defense giving up a soul-crushing 8 minute TD drive to open the game.

Request denied. This IS on Dee Ford whether you want it to be or not. You could make the argument about this play or that play or this player or the other, and you wouldn't be wrong, but the fact is this - Ford doesn't line up in the neutral zone and we win. We HAD the interception, and Ford's dumb ass can't figure out where the LOS is and subsequently costs up the Super Bowl.

Forever this will be Dee Ford's fault. It's just the way it's going to be.

This

Like it or not importance is weighted to plays at the end of the game, especially plays that could have ended the game and sealed victory for your team.

Everyone on the field and sideline understands that.

Perfect. Blame it on the coin flip.

[Pelissero] Some staggering numbers in the #Patriots win: They ran 94 plays, gained 524 yards, were 13-of-19 on 3rd down and 4-of-5 in the red zone, possessed the ball for 43 minutes, 59 seconds -- and Tom Brady wasn't sacked. #Chiefs D did have 2 takeaways, but pretty tough to win that way.

Yep, that's the more frustrating thing to me.

Or, OR, blame it on Dee Ford for letting it get to a coin flip. He stays onsides and the pick counts and we win the game. Seems simple.

Nope going to blame it on Dee Ford, because he is an idiot.

Dee ford is what I'm gonna remember. But whatever there were lots o mistakes made but that one really counted no matter what's said, that call finished the game for chiefs

CP is always full of chicken little's!

Shut up with that cuck bullshit...
