"More Diss" - America's favorite Dystopian pastime 2022-2023

Eagles earned it for sure those sacks that led to injuries sealed the win. Weird game from the jump and was just sad/frustrating to watch the whole time. Never seen anything like it.

damn bengals/niners would have been fun. a nice throwback to the ultimate ‘80s Super Bowls (non-SB shufflin’ crew division)

Yea I really wanted that matchup!

This isn't a barnburner so far

Burrow's beat up line not doing him any favors

Uhhh what just happened

no one knows. was nice of mahomes to give the ball back tho

holy fuck what an ending. really hate that penalty but still wow

The look on Ossais face was too much to bear

they had to call that penalty, but he was trying to make a play

They're gonna make it all about Mahomes but props to the Chiefs defense standing up in the last minute, Cincinnati didn't need many yards to be set up for that game-winning FG and KC didn't let them get there

Chris Jones was a monster

Yeah MVP of the game

Penalty sucks but that will get called every time

I endorse it getting called all the time, guys have to know to be conservative about that kind of hit and that means sometimes you call it when they didn't mean to do it, they just didn't mean hard enough to avoid doing it

yeah I agree it needs to be called but still having it happen in that situation is just really unfortunate. if the Bangles can complain about anything it's the refs missing several blocks in the back during that big kickoff return at the end. oh well. Chiefs have really been laying out some brutal playoff losses lately. much more fun to watch them to it than Tom Brady.

At the end of the day, the Bengals can bitch all they want but they also caught a hobbled Mahones who wasn't even close to 100%

never not gonna be called, particularly when it’s a QB

Yeah esp with player safety now

it's just a shitty rule, the way the game is set up you can absolutely level a dude in one spot but if they're a couple feet over it's a penalty. you can destroy a QB or a kicker if the ball is in the process of being thrown or punted but a split second later it's a big foul. obviously this stuff is necessary but those automatic first down penalties can totally change the game and I feel like it's a big ask of the defense when half the QBs in the league happen to also be one of the fastest guys on the roster. sucks but that's how its gotta be I guess.

there were a lot of ticky-tacky fouls on the bengals that erased huge plays in the 4th qtr. on the other hand the bengals had the chance to go down the field and win in the last two minutes, and their pass protection just couldn't stand up.

Hell of a game by Burrow though. He reminds me of Rodgers circa 2011. Even some of his incomplete passes were perfectly placed sideline throws. If they can get some pass protection that offense will be unstoppable.

the hit out of bounds rule has to be enforced strictly to prevent any kind of extra curricular activity between players on the field and players on the sideline. not to mention that there are plenty of non-football obstacles on the sideline (ossai injured himself on that play when he slammed into a bench) and people on the sideline who aren’t wearing pads

nick bosa injured his leg just standing on the sideline during a punt return lol

yea it's a necessary rule, kinda reminds me of the balk in baseball, if you didn't enforce it you'd get some weird angle shots which I think go against the spirit of the game. but 95% of the time it's called it's done unintentionally. so it sucks but you gotta have it

if it's necessary it's necessary what are we talking about? It sucks that the kid did that at that point but it's a good rule

i thought from the initial angle that it was maybe a weirdly inadvertent shove as he was going past his other teammate would was just standing there on the sideline, but other angles reveal maybe not. gotta analyze it further, like the kobe/matt barnes inbounds pass video.

the call was good, mahomes obv didn't slip, he got pushed, gotta throw the flag on it.

all espn guys can get a little over the top at times but i generally like ryan clark and this was great

Patrick Mahomes Sr, & Averion Hurts are present fathers that raised great men. The narrative of the absent black father is pushed through the media. So, let’s remember to push this as well.

I think a rule can be necessary but also kind of arbitrary in a way that's bad for the sport. "he hit the QB half a second late" is not really a satisfying end to what was a pretty amazing title game

Lol frogs did that field goal blow a bet for you or something?

Mahomes Sr was a fan fav on the Twins

well now that you mention it I did have the over lol

roughing the passer penalties can be somewhat arbitrary -- what precisely counts as 'too late' or 'too rough' is a judgment call -- but that bengals penalty was perfectly straightforward. mahomes was out of bounds, and you can't hit a guy who's out of bounds, heading into people and equipment, and not expecting a hit, like that

'where do you draw the line?' right there, with white paint

The Mahomes call was fine; the lack of call on Burrow earlier sucked. Bad or missed calls weren't what lost the game for the Bengals. Even that weird clock situation didn't seem to really hurt them. Their offensive line just weren't up for it.

I'm not arguing it should be called differently, just that as a neutral fan it sucks to see the game end that way. reminds me of NBA games where a jump shooter lands on the defender's foot and gets free throws + the tech, that rule has probably saved a few ACLs but it's a lame way to end a close game.

I agree with that. Would have been cool to see the new play-off OT rules, too. I felt the longer that game went on, the less likely it was KC was going to score an offensive TD. They just couldn't seem to move the ball with Mahomes getting worse and losing a bunch of their receivers. If Butker had missed the 58 yard FG and it had gone into OT I think the Bengals win the game and it would have been epic to watch as a fan. (Plus, I had the Bengals -1 and the over in a play-off pool pick. If it had gone into OT, KC got the coin flip, Butker kicked a FG and then Cincinnati scores a TD... )
