Bears and Vikings both taking future bust QBs in the 1st round?

Celebrating early in college basketball is never a good idea, but I think thankfully Duke is well and truly dead now. Go Wolfpack.

Neither team can buy a basket and Duke up right now at the half due to free throws.

Houston looked fine until Shead got hurt in the 1st half. Duke then closed the half on a 13-6 run I think it was, and they have been in control despite it being a small lead since.

Duke being gifted a stress-free trip to the Elite 8. Painful to watch.

Yeah, I thought about him, too. Depends on the criteria. He'd been a leading receiver for the Packers earlier in his career and had won NFL Championships before that, but it was an out-of-nowhere performance in his second-to-last season.

It happens often enough that I'd have to see a full list to narrow it down. Like I completely forgot Chirs Matthews existed.

Brandon Stokley had the most receiving yardage and the 1st TD (38 of his 52 yards came on that TD) of the Ravens first Super Bowl. He was one of their top receiving threats (probably only behind Ismail and Shannon Sharpe iirc) though, but it was on a run-first, low-scoring offense.

Jordy Nelson was a no-name receiver who had just 2 receiving TDs in each of his first 3 regular seasons and only had a career year with just 500-something receiving yards the year he went for 140 and a TD in their SB win.

Ricky Proehl had 71 and a TD for the Panthers against the Patriots (though he was just the 5th-leading receiver in that game).

Those are the first guys that came to mind for me, anyway.

Apparently, Hardman in his time with the Chiefs this season had 2 drops, 3 fumbles (2 lost including a muffed punt and a fumble out of the endzone against the Bills), 2 INTs when targeted, 3 carries for -2 yards, and 10 targets for just 46 yards (outside of Week 18 where the backups played against the Chargers).

He then had the 3rd most receiving yards in the Super Bowl along with the game-winner.

You don't force the other team's hand in that scenario because if a FG ties that means you already scored a FG on your opening possession so punting is simply not an option for them (they would literally lose by default)

I think we're saying the same thing. My "or punt if the game is tied" was meant for the scenario that you don't score at all on your 1st possession (whether because of a turnover, punt, missed FG, whatever else), and obviously if you're up by 3, then you're only forcing their hand when in FG range.

The only advantage I see when you take the ball 1st is that if you put the other team in 4th and long, you force the other team's hand to either tie the game with a FG or punt if the game is tied, but you're in that exact scenario yourself if the other team puts you in 4th and long on your opening possession, so to me, it's just dumb the whole way around to receive 1st under the current rules.

Romo said that his defense was probably tired and he wanted to give them time to rest up so they could get a stop. Which to be fair, they had gotten stops most of the game.

It's just with the game on the line and all that

Apparently though, Shanahan said after the game that the logic is that they wanted to have the ball 3rd, not that he was trying to rest the defense. Also, with 3 timeouts given to you for the new OT, I feel like if that was the case, maybe the 49ers should have been using some of those, especially by the end of KC's drive inside the 10 if they really thought the defense was gassed.

It just occurred to me. If the clock would've rolled over at the end of overtime, why even have a game clock in playoff overtime? Just have it be like college overtime and only have a play clock.

It gives the players a break, pretty sure they switch sides of the field, and IIRC, under the old sudden death rules, you get the two timeouts per OT period (not sure if that's the case now too or not).

People are calling it a block but it was a damn miss being kicked that low.

I haven't looked at it again, but it looked like a shanked kick that would have been easily wide left if not for hitting a Chiefs player's hand so early.

It was just the coincidence of it being 25 years since he won Super Bowl MVP

I haven't really been paying attention to Lombardi trophy presentations in recent years, but have they been doing that every year recently?

Also, didn't realize until now that Terrell Davis won their first one and Elway won the 2nd. Would have guessed without remembering that it was the other way around.

no, soccer just generally sucks

That and their jerseys are all made up of logos of giant corporations plastered all over them anyway.

Elway handing it off to the Chiefs is amusing to me.

Yeah, I thought he was a weird choice. If it was Montana, it would make some sense, but having Elway out there only really made sense if the '9ers won.

Good to see the '9ers lost because of terrible coaching and taking the ball first in OT only to settle for a FG on 4th and 4.

I missed who won the toss, but you should always kick in playoff overtime.

Didn't think it was grounding, but also thought Mahomes was probably down before he got the throw off.

Forgot to take the Chiefs to see if I can go 0-3 in championship games this season, but taking the Chiefs despite them looking bad so far.
