GB that's perfect. 

Early super bowl lines are Eagles by 1 - my guess is the sharps will push that to a field goal and then the public will reel it back in before kickoff.

I see it at -2.5 already

Ossai had a hell of a game, too.

What a way to lose.

Hell of a game by Chris Jones, and incredible performance by the best QB in football.

Wasn't a big fan of Mahomes when he entered the league, seemed arrogant to me.

Now a huge fan. Seems like a legitimately decent guy, unbelievable QB, and tons of heart.

No way he would have played if this was a regular season game, gutsy performance and when it mattered he gave it everything he could.

I find myself feeling a little sorry for Joseph Ossai.

It was a stupid and costly play, but it's not as if Mahomes was 10 feet out of bounds, and it's not as if Ossai crushed Mahomes or hit the QB in the head.

It was a dumb play, and it was the right call, but it's tough when an athlete now has to hear about one mistake for the rest of his career, or even the rest of his life.

He looked inconsolable on the bench, one of the lasting memories from the post-game stuff shown on TV. Later in the locker room, he answered question after question from media, taking full responsibility; many others would have hid in the trainer's room.

It's kind of like the Webber time-out or Norwood's missed kick in the Super Bowl. If Ossai is good enough he'll overcome it, and he'll learn to shrug off the references. But to have one miscue follow you is brutal.

Yup. Correct call and a dumb play. But it wasnt all time incompetence.

Also, no way to know how the rest plays out. Butker probably in that weather doesnt make it from 60 but hes got the leg. And worst case for KC was it was just going to OT.

I'm reminded of a (much less consequential) game between the Browns and the Chiefs where a Browns player pulled off and threw his helmet in celebration thinking the game was over but got flagged because the play was still going. KC got to kick a field goal with 0:00 on the clock to win the game.

I think they would have gone for a hail mary there. That 45 yarder would not have gone another 15 yards.

They still had 8 seconds left.  They would've tried one throw to the sideline to pick up 7-10 yards.  Who knows whether they would've completed that.

Kellen Moore.  Not good enough to be the Dallas OC.   Good enough to be the Chargers OC.

I don't like the Giants, but I have to ask....WTF?

I thought this was going to about how Romo has regressed as an analyst.

He was never that great to begin with. He took advantage of directly replacing Phil Simms who was brutal.

Compared to Phil Simms and others of that ilk, he's good. Compared to say Greg Olsen, Tony leaves a lot to be desired.

Seriously no Romo discussion?

I honestly believe he was gonna say "nickel backs" and changed his mind cause it didn't make sense.

I don't agree with that, he's definitely regressed.  His best ability was literal analysis.  Calling out play predictions, tendencies, showing the ability that made him a really good pro, on the fly.  But he was told to scale that back, reign in his enthusiasm and analysis, dumb it down a bit, and he's FAR less good like that and just has become cliched.  It's unfortunate.  Olsen is far more natural at the blend of the two, and he's best in class for me right now.

Huh.
I think Olson is terrible, as does everyone I've heard discuss him.
He's just keeping Tom Brady's sent warm anyhow.
Edit: Terrible is probably strong. How about mediocre.

Could be. Also could have been about to say the N-word. Only he knows. If he was, he at least stopped himself so while funny, ultimately a nothingburger
