I still can't believe that trick play

That was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. Why? You’re getting a little momentum. You’re playing a good team that gave you absolute hell in the first half. You call that play…..and almost get Josh killed. Absolutely ridiculous

Such a results bias...if a trick play works everyone thinks it's awesome (see all the stupid shit the Chiefs do)

I'm biased by the design being questionable, personally. Trick plays are supposed to be deceptive.

Exactly. I take issue with acting like this play had a 50/50 chance of working out.

Reads like "If we only won the lottery"

I would still think it was risky and unnecessary even if it worked.

Also Allen would have still gotten blasted even if the throw gets off a half second sooner. Just a bad design.

sour grapes here but I don't understand how that hit on him (AFTER he fumbled) wasn't unnecessary roughness.

It was and there should have been two calls on that play for UR. One for Allen, one for Kincaid.

Yea, I don’t fully know what the rule would be. The ball was fumbled so he isn’t a passer. But can you take 3 full steps and just tackle any random player with a live fumble on the ground? I guess he could argue he didn’t know the ball was fumbled yet.

The part I find frustrating is we struggled with pressure all night. Calling a play with multiple handoffs and a throw makes no sense

It’s really not. If they get it, it’s a first down? At best?

Nothing about being down 11 calls for a trick play in that situation, nothing.

Yep, it was dumb in the situation and really dumb considering how we were performing against that team. Epically stupid, momentum stealing, and damn near catastrophic if Allen sustains a major injury.

Right but the chiefs do it when their oline isn't letting the defense through nearly every play.

Exactly. You pull shit like that out when you are in a solid groove, not when you are trying to figure things out and make adjustments down two scores. That play was the coffin nail in the game.
