NFL 2024 Season

[TheBigIguana]

I've watched a few of these 'nail biters' on highlights this morning, and contrary to what people are saying these games are actually close because the Chiefs are shooting themselves in the foot/letting the opponent back into it. Case in point yesterday when we were cruising at 16-3 up headed into the 4th and suddenly the knife is removed from the jugular and the Raiders flip the script.

Against the Panthers we had a 20-9 lead at HT, then relaxed too much and allowed Young to drag them back into it.

Against the Bucs, we allow Mayfield to tie the game with a TD drive in one minute at the end of the game.

The Ravens in week 1 - in command, and then we let Lamar mount a last gasp drive which fell short.

Bascially, I think the team has a tendancy to take its foot off the gas when in comfortable positions, and that is what makes these games end up closer than they should.

However, Going back to the playoffs last year they've won 12 one score games in a row. Assuming a 50% chance of victory in each one, that's a 1 in 4,096 chance if it's based on 'pure luck'. And it isn't just the dregs of the league they're doing this to. In that time they've done it to the Bills, the Ravens (twice), the 49ers, the Bengals, the Broncos, Chargers... The result is the result. Chiefs find a way to win these games no matter the quality of their opponent.

It’s not pure luck, but it is also lucky.

It’s not pure luck, but it is also lucky.

Well that and having probably the most clutch QB in the history of the game. Without him I agree they lose multiple times this season

Yesterday he had two chances to put the game away and went 3 and out twice. Yes his presence is why I said it isn't all luck, but even with him they're still getting lucky.

Defences having a day off in this steelers bengals game

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I have a sevenfold on the lunchtime KO's and the Seahawks are absolutely killing me here

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So far Seattle & Minnesota are letting me down. Also too close for comfort in NE, Atlanta & Jacksonville.

EDIT: Now Colts are deciding to just let NE waltz through them this quarter

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Hahaha my sevenfold is now coming in! minutes left in Minnesota, NE & NY.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Arizona totally blew that game. Murray made too many mistakes on last couple of drives

 

[Toffe3m4n]

All on the Seahawks to see the Jets off now.. just as long as the Steelers don't let the Bengals back into it

 

[ToffeeTim]

The Jets O line is incredibly bad

Rodgers hasn't played well at all this year but I'm not sure any QB can look that good with that amount of pressure
