NFL 2024-2025

They sure telegraphed that never thrown a TD pass in the fourth quarter of a tie game thing. I told my wife it's for sure going to happen now, and it did.
 
Would’ve liked to see the Bucs go for 2 there, but a heck of a drive by Baker and Shepard. Good to see Sterling taking advantage of the opportunity after being injured so often the past several years in New York.
 
I really thought (before Aikman said it) that the Bucs would go for two if they scored. I wouldn't, but I thought they would. Chiefs have 27 seconds and three timeouts.
 
The miscommunication between Mahomes and Hopkins is understandable because of how new he is, but that was almost disastrous. The Chiefs were not impressive in the closing stages of regulation.
 
Hunt has turned out to be a hell of a workhorse...again. It will be interesting to see how they manage him and Pacheco when they're both available.
 
And that’s why you go for the dagger when you get the chance. Baker doesn’t even get to see the ball.

You don’t extend the game on the road against the best team in the league with the best QB of a generation.
 
To be clear, I do not agree with going for a 2-point conversion in that situation. I don't like gambling an entire game on one play, unless you have little reason to believe your team can win straight up. Forgetting the abstract percentages or win probabilities involved, I just don't like that mentality. If the Bucs win the toss, it could easily have gone the other way.

I don't like the OT format. Guarantee both teams a possession or just play a full 10-minute period.

I like this Bucs team and wish they were in better position. They are better than 4-5.

I’d rather just trust my guys to punch it in from three yards out than leave it up to chance on the coin toss. Maybe it turns out differently if you do win the flip, but going for it is the best way to control your own fate. Hand it off to White, Otton is a big passing target, and if you don’t get it you can live with it easier than you would from not even seeing the ball in OT I think.
 
The other wrinkle is that if you get the 2-pointer and go up 1, there is more urgency for the Chiefs with 27 seconds and three timeouts. They frittered it away in a tie game, but they aren't approaching either 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 the same way if they are down by a point, and all they needed was one more solid completion to give Butker a chance.

The criticism of the Bucs taking their timeout at the wrong time is more well founded IMO.
