Thomas5737 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If you do it with 16 and get sacked it's probably over, same with 11. So yeah if you try it at 16 seconds may as well try it again with 11, just don't take a sack or complete it short of the endzone. I think the defense they saw made it unlikely to score and that is part of the reason they just kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I <3 Faulk Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No. They played it right, just lost the coin toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think yes. Patriots have given up dumb plays at the last second all year long. Mahomes has a rocket arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I thought so without question. Mahomes can make throws few guys can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Only if Gronk came on the field. Honestly though, another situation where I'm okay with either decision. I don't feel like it's a high percentage play, and I think the odds of something really bad happening is probably pretty comparable so I get that the risk may not be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Just now, Malfatron said: good chance it would have been picked Not to mention any offensive penalty results in a ten second run off, right? If it happens during the play, you're screwed and it's game over. Or is that just on a false start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Duron Harmon would've picked it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins212689 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The defense the Patriots were in the only pass thats was gonna get completed was a pass across rhe middle. So now you have to asked, did the Chiefs have a Timeout to call once the ball is caught in bounds? I don't know if they did or didn't, but I know Belichick definitely made sure what happened to his defense with Gronk in a previous game didn't happen this game.

DirtyDez Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 No because the kick was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizofoz45 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I thought they should have. But for Mahomes to drive the ball into FG range in only 23 seconds and 1 timeout was already pushing the boundaries of space and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParTime13 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Not with 11 seconds . It was risky enough with 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the result of the play would have had to be a non scoring touchdown, basically, which never would have happened in that scenario. Still, a 10 yard holding penalty or OPI could have crushed that field goal attempt. Maybe still not worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
