Considering Chris Jones was the main reason for several of their SB wins, I THINK he will get a pass. Chiefs treat the reg season like the pre-season, they will be there when it matters. Rice coming back truly unlocks the offense.

I doubt it since they could have potentially sacked Lawrence at the 7-yard line with the Jags down 4 and under 30 seconds left with no time outs on that play
i just wonder once he saw lawrence going toward the end zone if he was saying let them score at this point so more time for mahomes. seems like he really was not into the whole play.

No. His assignment was the back.

This isn't Tecmo Bowl where your MLB covers the whole fukking field! He read his guy, who got caught in the pile, and that's that. You want to blame someone you blame the DTs for failures to touch Kawerence down or you blame the edge for no contain.

A guy I went to high school with is his agent. He was a wealthy Jewish kid from the neighborhood Michael Katz. Never liked him myself, he always thought I was beneath him as a human being because he was born into money.

I was wondering why they didn't let them score earlier than that. I guess because they were hoping for a goal-line defensive stop instead.

But Jones was interviewed and he said he thought Lawrence was down so he quit the pursuit.

i agree they should have let them score with the way the game was going. sometimes it is easy in hindsight.

maybe he thought lawrence gave himself up besides going down?

Will he be on the bench next game, or will there be no consequences?
No consequences in NFL, unless you're white and 100% in the right.

I posted this one earlier in your ARZ thread.
