CHIEFS

that would be like checking to see whether the point guard's toe was on the line when he made that 3-pointer, and after review, it turns out it was not a made basket at all, but actually a personal foul on the shooter and a turnover and the other team gets 2 free throws

CF3's take: "why can't we get a point guard who can shoot?" 

[Rage Against the McKee]

More like checking to see if the shooter stepped out of bounds and, sure enough, he did, so it's the other team's ball and the basket doesn't count.

[mocat]

stepping out of bounds in football is not a turnover

[mocat]

in fact, neither is fumbling it out of bounds!

[Rage Against the McKee]

Fumbling the ball through the end zone is a turnover, though.

[mhkpasa]

I still don't know how they were able to overturn a TD call on the field.

that is not what happened at all

[mocat]

the fact that an offensive player can almost make a good play, and the result of not quite making it is a turnover instead of just another down is the stupid part.
but whatever, we're talking about how we feel about the offense. it was 4 plays 62 yards and a touchdown to go up 24-3, and everyone including chicat felt great about the offense. oh, nope, wait, that was a turnover and the offense sucks now. gmafb

the chiefs forced SIX turnovers and got 10 offensive points out of it. ok i guess i'll give you 17 because of the fumble turnover? but the fumble turnover still, ya know, happened? the only chiefs offensive td drive started at the Jets 35.

here are the chiefs drives:

PUNT
TD (35 yards)
FG (44 yards)
END OF HALF (got the ball with over 2 minutes left)
PUNT
FUMBLE
DOWNS
PUNT
PUNT

but yeah, the offense is just fine. nothing to see here.

edit: revised to SIX turnovers since they scored td's on the other two so the offense never had the ball

[Rage Against the McKee]

Holding onto the football is kind of important. And yeah, the offense was really pretty bad, even if that touchdown counts.

[mocat]

blast, are you penalizing the offense for not scoring on 8 turnovers? first of all, 2 of those turnovers were direct scores, making it impossible for the offense to score. if DJamer and Demetrius Harris had both fallen down on the 1 yard line so that the offense could score 1 yard TD runs would you feel better? good grief. and also the last turnover resulted in a kneel down to end the game! should have thrown a hail mary instead?

lol, mocat. i believe i addressed those two turnovers specifically with my edit to change it to SIX turnovers instead of EIGHT. point still stands.

but point taken on the last turnover. just assume my post says FIVE turnovers, which is still a eff ton of turnovers, rather than SIX.

[mocat]

that makes 5 turnovers for the offense to work with. here are the results:

#1: 4 plays, 35 yards, TD
#2: 14 plays, 44 yards, FG
#3: 8 plays, 41 yards, stuffed on 4th and inches
#4: 3 and out
#5: 3 and out

yeah #4 and #5 sucked. are those 2 3-and-outs your only takeaway from this game, offensively?

[Rage Against the McKee]

They got points 2 times with their 9 possessions. They scored 0 points on drives that started on their side of the field. They didn't really need the points, so whatever, but they should have scored about 40 with the performance the defense put together.

[mocat]

loved going for it on 4th & inches, btw. why not a QB dive? no idea

my takeaway is that the offense scored 10 points with 5* turnovers by the Jets, with their only touchdown drive being 35 yards. this coming a week after they failed to score a touchdown at all vs. the texans.

[420seriouscat69]

wgaf guys? That's Andy Reed football. He mails it in with the D is controlling the game with a lead. it's just what he does. 2 big drops by Maclin stalled some drives as well. Not worried.

[mocat]

Maclin drops count as the offense's fault. dropped passes are what makes offenses suck wacky.

[420seriouscat69]

He doesn't do that a lot was my point. I'm just not worried.

[mocat]

i would be way more worried about dropped passes than a TD that was wiped out due to a weird replay.

and also not being able to convert 4th and inches is annoying AF. why not just let alex keep it so he can find a hole large enough to stick a football through it for 6 inches?

[The Big Train]

mocat strikes me as someone who legitimately likes Philip Rivers

[Trim]

When did the stadium stop selling out?

[ChiComCat]

I think the offense stinks more because of the Texans game than Ware not getting a TD.  Maybe Charles coming back will help.  Kelce looked good.  I'm worried Maclin screwing up the deep balls will convince Smith to somehow throw even less of those.
