AFC Championship: (2) Bills vs (1) Chiefs (CBS)

[football karma]

so odd to see Patrick Mahommes turned into a game manager Qb

earlier in this career: so many "wow" throws down the field. Now? schemed throws by Reid and RAC

one more point:

If Tony Romo knew that the Bills like to run QB sneaks to their left -- then KC knew it too.

Wouldnt you know: the biggest 4th down sneaks run the left failed

NFL needs to be better for those 4th and one plays at the line. Other sports have technology for situations that arise in their sport but not the NFL. They need to be better.

He literally said during the broadcast that KC knew it and he spoke to them about it.

Run a play for a couple feet not one that the refs have to figure out where the ball is.

The Eagles do it all the time.

I am a hater of that play. it should be taken out of the game unless the refs are going to officiate it correctly. and they don't appear to be able to spot the ball nor hold the offense or defense accountable for lining up and jumping offside.

The "bad" spot was actually the correct call to me (I know I'm in the minority). Plus, there was a LOT of time left in the game for the Bills to win it and they had plenty of opportunity to do so. The Chiefs getting more "favorable" calls is the same complaint heard about the Patriots, the 49ers, Jordan, Kobe, Magic, etc., etc. Some people just hate sustained excellence and get tired of it. Just my opinion and observation.

It's overdue for the NFL to use technology to determine ball placement

It's time.

I assume it's put a chip in the ball so it crosses the line it gets recorded. The technology there is interesting I remember they talked about it before. it has to be done perfectly so the sensors cut off because otherwise you simply push the ball forward and the sensor says yep he crossed the line. They have to either cut it off, or have it record synched to video so you know WHEN the ball crossed to be sure it was during live play



It's 100 percent doable though
the other issue, and I complain about this all the time, NFL refs are lazy as hell. They often just stick the ball on the closest yard line, so if the guy is down at the 24 1/2 yard line it either goes to the 25, or the 24. If you start using sensors to determine it, the spotting of the ball will be way more important

I couldn't agree more
