This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Except that wasn’t the reasoning he cited by JBrock18
He said that before the game his analytics department determined they would take the ball in OT. It doesn’t make any sense particularly given the opponent having the QB they do. To the contrary Chris Jones stated KC had discussed OT rules for two weeks and that they would not take the ball and that they would absolutely go for 2 if they scored a touchdown second to match SF.
The defense being gassed is also irrelevant given the rules. If you give up a TD oh well. You now know you have 4 downs each series, need a TD and can go for 2 and the win if you score so your defense never has to play another down win or lose. I cannot fathom how the logic is “we might get the ball a second time and then all we need is a field goal.” It’s nonsense.
