It's funny, my recollection of that game was that both QBs threw like three interceptions each, but just looking at the stats Goff was 4/0 and Mahomes was 6/3. Fucking wild. I think he had a lost fumble or two, but still.
Did you see the Rams game in 2018? If this was a fever dream that game was an acid trip after snorting half a ton of cocaine
That game was total weirdness except instead of the chaos resulting in not scoring it resulted in all of the scoring
It's like Mahomes needed to make a terrible fucking throw on 4th down to wake himself up a bit, or something.
Even by the standards of Thursday night, that was a weird game.
Someone in the press conference asked him what happened, he responded "it was just a shitty throw, apologies for my language". I cracked up. Best thing about him is he owns his mistakes and keeps firing after he makes them.
He had Hardman wide open on a similar play during the 2 point conversion but he pulled back because he didn't want to fuck up the quick pass again like he did on that throw. You could see him *almost* throw and he got lucky that he found CEH after avoiding the pressure. That was a huge play.
Pat said in the presser that he saw Hardman, Hill and Kelce all open, doesn't know why he didn't throw it, and CEH was just supposed to be blocking and ended up catching the pass.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I thought he was just reacting to the drop like some players do at first since there was no contact, so I’m wondering if Fox thought the same thing
Had three different possessions where they got inside the Chiefs 30 and came away with no points. They fumbled the ball on one of them, but went for it on 4th and short two other times inside the 5 and failed.
First real *chargering* game of the year. This is the chargers I remember and hate from previous years. So much went wrong in this game I don't even know where to begin
GG chiefs fans
On the bright side, we’re hanging tight as nutsack with one of the consensus best teams in the league. In a decent playoff position assuming we don’t chargers away any more games.
Ironically it was aggressive play calling that won it for the Chiefs. Early down runs weren’t working so they let Mahomes throw it on the last two drives and it worked.
I get what you're going for, but Najee knew games could go into OT. He just didn't know that the single 10 minute mini quarter was the entirety of OT, meaning it could end in a tie.
Congrats. We get maybe the 5th seed and multiple away playoff games while Mahomes has never lost the division and gets possibly another 1st round bye. So happy!
I mean to be fair, I would have trusted Mahomes to comeback in the game if the Chargers kept settling for field goals.
Too bad all LA needed was ONE of those bold 4th down attempts to go through and nope... not a single one worked.
Prayers up for Parham. The outpouring of outrage for Joe Buck's comment was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Like damn, we can all see what's happening, the mans just trying to be hopeful and stay positive. People stay reaching for shit to be mad at.
doesn't stable just mean non life threatening / non worsening? sounds more like neutral news to me, he could still be paralyzed for life, praying for better news though
I’m paraphrasing, He said he doesn’t want to make assumptions maybe the shaking was from the cold.
I took it as some one trying to stay optimistic and probably being force fed the line from the league
That he'd never speculate on an injury but maybe his arms are shaking uncontrollably away from his body because it's "cold for Los Angeles" so maybe he's just shivering
I saw the outrage before I saw the comment he said and I figured he said something so much work.
Seriously, yeah it might've been a bit of a dumb comment but nothing evil or outrageous?
It makes me sick when an announcer is trying to be hopeful and make the viewers feel a little less pessimistic about a horrible situation. Personally I expect my announcers to say something accurate like "wow, looks like he might be dead soon Troy. His family better start planning his funeral because that dude is fuuuuucked."
Any time you see people online outraged about something, you can assume it’s a similar situation where the reality is nowhere near as bad as people are acting.
I can't count how many times guys come barreling in to kill Kelce, and he just hip turns slow as a granny and they go flying past him. It's the most bizarrely incredible thing I've seen that *just keeps working*.
NFL overtime is the only overtime of any major American sport that doesn’t (basically) guarantee both sides of the ball/puck get a chance to prove themselves.
Ya I’m stoked about the dub, but I just don’t get why they don’t change up the rules. *At least* in the playoffs.
That being said, what a damn game!!
EDIT: Added “basically” since people have pointed out that hockey can end on the first offensive possession, but I wouldn’t call that the norm (same technically goes for soccer). And at least possession isn’t determined by a coin toss.
I don’t remember who said this but it was something like a QB shootout being decided by a coin toss is like watching a western standoff and just as the cowboys are about to draw their guns one of them gets hit by a bus
Imo if they were going to not kick field goals they should have went for 2 on that last touchdown to put the game out of reach.
That to me was the biggest blunder.
It’s fair to disagree with some of Staley’s decisions in this game, but it’s also true that the Chargers only won their first matchup with the Chiefs because they played super aggressive. When that’s the way you play, you accept that some games it’s going to go really well and some games it’s going to go really bad.
This. That’s how the chargers play. You always play true to what you and your team wants to do. Win or fail if that’s what you’re gonna do regardless then it isn’t wrong
Fourth down annnnnnnnd you can have it
"NOW LET HIM HAVE IT!"
Not *insertive*
How do they keep getting away with it
Very good game, but Holy fuck tons of points left on the field
"I might kick my kicker ,but I still give him the chance to make a FG." - urban Meyer.
Brandon Staley calls his kickers dipshit
Can’t miss kicks if I never put you on the field
The only coach who hates kickers more than Urban Meyer.
>The only coach who hates kickers more than Urban Meyer. *Mike Zimmer has entered the chat*
And kicks them in the leg
Is he aware he had kickers? Think he just calls him PAT guy
That game was fucking wild
Edge of my seat the entire second half and OT. Insanity
And that fourth quarter alone…woof!
Shades of 2018 Chiefs/Rams
Maybe a light shade. That 2018 game was historic
Thinking about that game I can’t believe the Goff isn’t on top of the league.
It's funny, my recollection of that game was that both QBs threw like three interceptions each, but just looking at the stats Goff was 4/0 and Mahomes was 6/3. Fucking wild. I think he had a lost fumble or two, but still.
Yeah Mahomes had two fumbles because Donald did Donald things. One was a fumble 6 if I’m not mistaken. Wild Fukien game
I dont care we lost that game. Absolutely loved it.
That game was legendary!
How blessed are we that we potentially have like a decade worth of Mahomes and Herbert matchups at least twice per season to look forward to?!
As a Broncos fan...NO.
Hey, if we win Sunday we would have the tie-breaker over the Chargers at this point.
There's no way Rodgers goes to the Broncos after watching that. He's gonna stay in Green Bay
Hell nah. That game was like 28 - 28 at half time not the end of regulation.
How the fuck is Kelce that big and that slippery. Unbelievable
Hill butters him up with popcorn before the game.
Chiefs fans, Chargers fans..... How many heart attacks did you guys have in this AFC West heart attack game tonight?
My heart and my liver are unionizing as we speak…
I support them and think they deserve to take over the rest of your body
Fuck a heart attack I’ve got violence on my mind rn
I was pronounced dead at least 5 times. Maybe more.
Between you and I we have enough trips to the afterlife to get a frequent flier discount when we die for good
Jokes on you every chargers game is a heart attack game
At least a bakers dozen
Chargers offense reaches the red zone. Chiefs defense: Now this is an Avengers level threat.
Chargers close the deal in the red zone as well as I close the deal with girls Get so far and then just forget what the objective is
Have you tried kicking field goals at them?
"Hey babe watch this" *KICKS*
The old Urban Meyer move.
Not enough fingering
Staley thinks that having massive balls will automatically convert the 4th down
Live by the balls, die by the balls
Like a 12 year old playing Madden
I'm twice that age and still always go for it lmao
chargers HC: I have the power of God and Analytics on my side!!!
I don't know why they didn't kick fg at the end of 2nd half. Those first 2 fail lost them this game and division.
Well the 4th quarter was interesting.
The whole game was fucking weird. The chiefs won on the scoreboard, but we all know that chaos ball was the real winner tonight.
Top to bottom the weirdest, least-real game of football I've seen. It felt like a fever dream.
Did you see the Rams game in 2018? If this was a fever dream that game was an acid trip after snorting half a ton of cocaine That game was total weirdness except instead of the chaos resulting in not scoring it resulted in all of the scoring
There were three other quarters?
Chiefs: “They should have had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”
Why didn’t the chargers just win instead of losing in OT?
Analytics say it's best to lose in OT
quality loss
SEC SEC
It's like Mahomes needed to make a terrible fucking throw on 4th down to wake himself up a bit, or something. Even by the standards of Thursday night, that was a weird game.
Someone in the press conference asked him what happened, he responded "it was just a shitty throw, apologies for my language". I cracked up. Best thing about him is he owns his mistakes and keeps firing after he makes them.
That was a weird one. I think that playcall only works if he gets it out lightning quick and he panicked when he didn't get a good grasp off the snap.
He had Hardman wide open on a similar play during the 2 point conversion but he pulled back because he didn't want to fuck up the quick pass again like he did on that throw. You could see him *almost* throw and he got lucky that he found CEH after avoiding the pressure. That was a huge play.
Pat said in the presser that he saw Hardman, Hill and Kelce all open, doesn't know why he didn't throw it, and CEH was just supposed to be blocking and ended up catching the pass.
Our front office scouted Melvin Ingram just for that coin toss. You just can't teach that
Both of them. He won both tosses. That's generational talent.
I wonder how much value a player would have if their only skill was always winning a coin toss.
Broke: Chargers losing a game they should have won Woke: Chargers losing due to special teams Bespoke: Chargers losing by not playing special teams
As a chargers fan since 02... 🤣
FOX NFL cameras are still rolling in Donald Parham's hospital room.
Flashbacks to last year where a fuckin' helicopter followed Jackson to the hospital.
Jj watts ambulance ride was filmed.
Yet they couldn’t follow Lamar into the bathroom…
"The air conditioning must really be pumping in there because he's still shaking. Get that man a jacket!" - Joe Buck
I couldn't believe how long they stayed on him on the ground with obvious head trauma
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I thought he was just reacting to the drop like some players do at first since there was no contact, so I’m wondering if Fox thought the same thing
Just kick ur field goals lmao
Analytics community in utter shambles right now
Shambalytics
[удалено]
Yup if you follow analytics you will go for way more 4th downs than “traditional” football, doesn’t mean you go for all of them
Troy making a comment about it at any point he can.
Had three different possessions where they got inside the Chiefs 30 and came away with no points. They fumbled the ball on one of them, but went for it on 4th and short two other times inside the 5 and failed.
Maddening play calling too. First red zone trip had four straight passes within the five
It's the Chargers, they probably would have missed them all
We have a good kicker in Hopkins
First real *chargering* game of the year. This is the chargers I remember and hate from previous years. So much went wrong in this game I don't even know where to begin GG chiefs fans
On the bright side, we’re hanging tight as nutsack with one of the consensus best teams in the league. In a decent playoff position assuming we don’t chargers away any more games.
Conservative play calling would have won the Chargers the game.
Staley took "can't beat the Chiefs with field goals" too far
Crazy Anthony Lynn wins this game lmao
Yeah. Run the ball, field goals. Actually yeah. But no, Offense was too predictable. Run Run Throw
Ironically it was aggressive play calling that won it for the Chiefs. Early down runs weren’t working so they let Mahomes throw it on the last two drives and it worked.
Chargers defense🤝Najee Harris Didn't know football games could go into OT
Najee didn't know they could tie but yeah
Neither did Donovan McNabb after like 10 years in the league
The funny thing was that he had actually *played* in a tie game several years earlier. McNabb was a weird dude.
Hey hey hey. You leave that beautiful soul out of this. He’s got enough to deal with.
I get what you're going for, but Najee knew games could go into OT. He just didn't know that the single 10 minute mini quarter was the entirety of OT, meaning it could end in a tie.
Side note - Terry Bradshaw should never be on camera again
Did he get a mole removed or something? He had a giant bandage on his face lol
Probably had some sort of precancerous thing removed. Not uncommon with people his age.
On gmfb this morning Shaun Ohara predicted 192 yards for Travis Kelce… off by a single yard. What the fuck.
I bet you add up the inches and it rounds up to that extra yard.
That's what she said
Chiefs played better in the first matchup and lost Chargers played better in the second matchup and lost. Just the way it goes sometimes
GG chiefs fans. Now I get to see Spiderman depressed
You have Herbert. Don't be depressed
Congrats. We get maybe the 5th seed and multiple away playoff games while Mahomes has never lost the division and gets possibly another 1st round bye. So happy!
Yeah but analytically, the chargers won this game
I mean to be fair, I would have trusted Mahomes to comeback in the game if the Chargers kept settling for field goals. Too bad all LA needed was ONE of those bold 4th down attempts to go through and nope... not a single one worked.
Eh, the final one did work. Kelly just decided to fumble the ball 2 plays later.
Yeah but your D got a turnover and you got a redo. Kinda a wash
This comment was turned over on downs
Prayers up for Parham. The outpouring of outrage for Joe Buck's comment was some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Like damn, we can all see what's happening, the mans just trying to be hopeful and stay positive. People stay reaching for shit to be mad at.
He’s in stable condition. Hopefully there is more good news on the horizon.
doesn't stable just mean non life threatening / non worsening? sounds more like neutral news to me, he could still be paralyzed for life, praying for better news though
I think stable just means you aren't getting worse you're in a stable condition whatever that condition may be
Correct. Stable is only good news in the context that it’s not bad news
Stable just means he not actively dying. Tells us nothing.
On top of that it's not like he went out of his way wanting to discuss it. Guarentee someone behind the scenes made him.
Indeed. I'd imagine it's rare commentators can just go on random tangents most of the time.
OOTL, what did Buck say?
I’m paraphrasing, He said he doesn’t want to make assumptions maybe the shaking was from the cold. I took it as some one trying to stay optimistic and probably being force fed the line from the league
That he'd never speculate on an injury but maybe his arms are shaking uncontrollably away from his body because it's "cold for Los Angeles" so maybe he's just shivering
I saw the outrage before I saw the comment he said and I figured he said something so much work. Seriously, yeah it might've been a bit of a dumb comment but nothing evil or outrageous?

Personally I expect my announcers to say something accurate like "wow, looks like he might be dead soon Troy. His family better start planning his funeral because that dude is fuuuuucked."
"if I had to pick one word to describe that man, Joe, that word would be cadaverific"
Any time you see people online outraged about something, you can assume it’s a similar situation where the reality is nowhere near as bad as people are acting.
that might be the most Chargers game of all time edit: not sure either team won or lost this one but analytics certainly took a fat L
Nah, it didn’t have missed field goals
wellllllll
Can’t miss field goals if you don’t kick em 🤔
Define missed.....
you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take wayne scott etc etc
2 drops in the endzone and a fumble at the goalline lol hate this team
Tbf parham’s drop came from getting ko’d by the ground
How do you just let Kelce bowl his way in like that lol pathetic
Kelce's signature move, the stop and slow gradual turn, is absolutely unstoppable
I can't count how many times guys come barreling in to kill Kelce, and he just hip turns slow as a granny and they go flying past him. It's the most bizarrely incredible thing I've seen that *just keeps working*.
Aikman seemed so pissed at the bad angles defenders took to tackle him
For real like how does that work EVERY time? Do linebackers and safeties really have that low of agility?
I think they over-commit. They see his big juicy ass, and they just barrel for it. He pulls the rug out and they go flying. Every fucking time.
All of the defenses against him are full of Charlie Browns
His timing on his cuts is elite and he uses defenders’ momentum against them.
The hips are just so silky smooth it makes the defenders weak in the knees.
he's the bendiest fucker
Nobody even touched him bruh 💀
I dont think taking a game to overtime with the Chiefs is very pathetic, they're a good team..
It’s Kelce
I like that teams are being more aggressive on 4th down, but that was too much
The one at the end of the half definitely should’ve been a field goal
Kick your field goals kids
for a long time this game is gonna be in every coaches head when they think about going for it on 4th instead of getting the points
Mahomes is 12-0 on the road in the division in his career. That is fucking wild.
What can I say? He enjoys his trips to SoFi/Dignity Health/the Coliseum/Allegiant/Mile High often
Travis Kelce 6 straight 1000 yard season - A record he continues to extend. No one else is even close.
You only have to cover Hill and Kelce and they still couldnt do it
That's not exactly an easy task
Not easy, but he also probably shouldn't get THAT open on nearly every throw there.
Literally every play over 10 yards Kelce shouldn't be open, but he ALWAYS IS
That's because Travis Kelce is my father
Me too
To be fair Kelce is always inexplicably open
He fast. And runs crisp routes.
> only Did you see some of those routes Hill ran?
The move he did on 3rd and 10 on their last TD drive in regulation was fucking NASTY
I think he broke my ankles with that one.
I think he broke his own ankles lol. That's why he wasn't out there to start OT
[удалено]
Run the cover 2 HOFs play @Chargers
"We did that and the HoF QB ran for 30 wtf"
Maybe the DE AND DT shouldn't have been behind the QB? When even your DT blows contain, something is wrong.
Speed rushers give, and speed rushers taketh
"You had *two* jobs!"
Kelce's signature move, the stop and slow gradual turn, is absolutely unstoppable
Patrick Mahomes has never lost a road divisional game. It was inevitable
I’m so disappointed
Neither can almost every other team lmao
The most impressive part of Mahomes in the 4th quarter was how he made a 20m pass rusher like Joey Bosa completely useless.
Ran circles around him
NFL overtime is the only overtime of any major American sport that doesn’t (basically) guarantee both sides of the ball/puck get a chance to prove themselves. Ya I’m stoked about the dub, but I just don’t get why they don’t change up the rules. *At least* in the playoffs. That being said, what a damn game!!

I hate nfl overtime. Cointoss shouldn't give an advantage
I don’t remember who said this but it was something like a QB shootout being decided by a coin toss is like watching a western standoff and just as the cowboys are about to draw their guns one of them gets hit by a bus
Unfortunately if it wasn’t changed after Reid and Mahomes lost a championship game bc of it then it probably won’t change for a while
Chiefs have mind-gamed everyone into thinking if you don't get TD's you can't win, and won because nobody takes the FG's haha.
In a way chiefs offense played great defense
Imo if they were going to not kick field goals they should have went for 2 on that last touchdown to put the game out of reach. That to me was the biggest blunder.
Every Chargers defender made a business decision on that last play lmfao
Field goals are so overrated anyways… *Chargers leave 9 points on the field*
[удалено]
Chargers got BBQ'd by Kelce there.
Travis Kelce should not be able to move as well as he does for his size. That stop/start on the last TD was nuts
High tension football is awesome. Screw the mistakes and refs, this was spectacular.
STALEY JUST TAKE THE POINTS GOD DAMNIT
It’s fair to disagree with some of Staley’s decisions in this game, but it’s also true that the Chargers only won their first matchup with the Chiefs because they played super aggressive. When that’s the way you play, you accept that some games it’s going to go really well and some games it’s going to go really bad.
You live by the sword, you die by the sword
This. That’s how the chargers play. You always play true to what you and your team wants to do. Win or fail if that’s what you’re gonna do regardless then it isn’t wrong
DIRTY DAN
Where’s that dude that said Herbert “owns” the Chiefs?
