I'm not sure if everyone would agree that BA was "wide open". You're right, if you were to freeze the play at a certain point and take the bird's eye view (camera angle), you can draw a circle around him without any other players in it. On the surface, it looks wide open to us. But from Brock's perspective, didn't he have the blitzing corner right in his throwing lane? Maybe that's something up for debate. It looked to me like he was right in the throwing lane. And with it being a slant route, the trajectory of the pass would make it possible that the blitzer can get his hands on it. So he's still affecting the play, just not in the circle around BA.
The analogy I would use for this is soccer. If the keeper is in the middle of his net, the area to his right and to his left are "wide open". If you're taking a shot, you'll want to shoot at those open areas. But if there's a defender right in between you and one of the open areas, it will be hard to score. Not impossible, but it's certainly not easy.
I'm just saying that I think we had better plays in the playbook for that moment. Plays that stress defenders and put them in situations where they have to make a difficult decision in a short amount of time. It didn't look to me like any defender had to make a quick, difficult decision on that play.
That's wide open in the NFL. The corner on him literally comes in on the blitz. He's open. Brock makes the right read and throws him the ball instead of going to JJ on the outside and unless BA drops it, it's a first down and we have at least 3 downs to milk the clock further before kicking the potential game winner.
Brock even said he should've thrown to Aiyuk. The film showed he should've thrown to Aiyuk but you're here saying "well maybe it wasn't what it seemed"
Come on...also it was 3rd and 5. The graphic on TV was wrong so the people claiming he should've ran it there and gone for it on 4th down are also full of it.
But from yours & NY's & others point of view, if the players do their job, the play works.
Well then, in that situation, if Kyle calls a running play for CMC, (offensive player of the year) & the players do their job, then that play works.
Are you saying that Kyle calls zero bad plays?
No Kyle like every coach calls bad plays or plays that don't work well vs that defense from time to time.
But in that SB in the 4th qtr and OT there were no bad plays called by him that lost us that play due to scheme.
And yes CMC was the offensive player of the year…who had a critical fumble on the opening drive costing us points. CMC who was averaging under 4 yards a carry. So calling a run play on 3rd and 5 when your run game hasn't been at its best is not a smart coaching decision. 3rd and 5 is a pass down unless you're going for it on 4th down and I don't care what people want to say in hindsight, taking the 3 point lead was 100% the right call.
Every information Kyle had for his playcalls on offense said the Chiefs are not able to score a TD without a turnover handed to them within our 20 yard line.
BOTTOM LINE - just like the Bills pretty and very innovative K-GUN offense, it GOT them to FOUR Super Bowls... and Shanny's 2 away !!
OUCH!
