This is all wrong.
The problem was the 2nd down run call. This is how we lose games, we take the ball out of Patrick's hands and then are surprised when a running back gets stuffed in the backfield.
My brother is a Raiders season ticket holder. He was texting me all game with with his Raider BS. When the Chiefs didn't kick the extra point and go up 8 I was nervous. I laughed my ass off when the Raiders went for two.
In that moment, I actually wanted the Raiders to convert because I had no doubt that the Chiefs could drive the field and take the lead. The concern was doing it too fast. When they missed it I told my bother the Raiders will have a chance to win this because Reid can't seal games like this. Reid will run the ball, we end up in some 3rd and 7 BS, and then don't convert.
and like clockwork that's exactly how it played out. We are just damn lucky Adams was out of bounds.
