I joined late hoping to shorty this game like I do on Amazon Prime and cable, but Peacock doesn’t have any “watch from beginning” option. So I tried just manually rewinding, but it kept failing. Then I just tried to rewind some of the way, figuring I could step back to the beginning. But it wouldn’t load where I first rewound to. Just an endless buffering circle. So I guess I just didn’t get to watch the first half. That’ll teach me.
Peacock sucks.
It does. I switched TVs that I was watching on, and on the 2nd, it offered up a “catch up via key plays” option that allegedly would have worked for you. In theory it sounds like a good feature, but who wants to experiment with playoff football on the line?
It has nothing to do with whatever went wrong. It’s that he acts like a two-year-old who doesn’t want it to be bedtime.
You mean he acted like a typical NFL QB.
I thought this was funny:
Yeah, that’s what I resorted to after I couldn’t rewind to the beginning or even at all. There were 15 key plays in the package, so I did get a feel for what I missed. Oddly, the first of those 15 plays was the opening kickoff, which was returned to the 31. That’s only six yards better than a touchback. Seems an odd play to consider “key.”
Okay, “commercial free 4th quarter” actually sounds pretty good.
KC finally gets a TD and it feels like the game is out of reach for Miami at this point.
As someone who has watched probably 80% of every professional snap Mahomes has had, I don’t think you’re correct here.
Mahomes has a habit of acting a bit of a fool when he perceives the officials have missed something. This has benefited his career, because he clearly gets better calls throughout games when he whines.
However, in 2023 the Chefs’ receiving crew have been a collective pile of crap. If I didn’t know better, I would assume they were Russian agents attempting to sabotage Mahomes all season long. His patience has run thinner game by game. That missed route would have set up a TD (hopefully), and he’s tired of it. Maybe he could act more professionally. I dunno. But maybe some of those jamokes could catch a fucking pass. 
Miami finally converts their first third down in forever thanks to a long pass on 3rd and 9.
So close to an interception by KC in the end zone. Miami got lucky.
LOL, Tua throws a ball into his own lineman’s helmet.
Sounds fun.
These frozen games are always fun.
Waiting for the inevitable frozen mustache meme.
I wish there were more pics of the crowd. The field conditions are still good, especially since the ground itself is heated via an underground radiator system. It’s clearly cold, but it all just seems…insulated.
No shock that Miami fails to convert on 4th and 16.
@SuntanLotion here you go:
So…on the pass thrown by Tua that was first ruled a backward pass, but was reversed because the pass first hit the helmet of an offensive lineman. Shouldn’t that have been an illegal forward pass, BECAUSE it was first touched by an offensive lineman?
Nope. It’s actually very common for a pass to hit a lineman. When you hear stories about a “QB catching his own pass” it’s usually because it bounces off a lineman back into their hands.
If the lineman caught the ball (without being designated as an eligible receiver), that’s another story.
No - hitting a lineman’s helmet by accident isn’t a violation. The lineman wasn’t downfield or anything.
Here’s an explanation:
Illegal touching is exactly what it sounds like. The receiver touched the ball illegally, usually because he stepped out of bounds and came back in to impact the play. Sometimes it’s a lineman who gets hit with the penalty for catching a ball when they weren’t an eligible receiver.
I think that, once upon a time, it was a penalty, but it isn’t any longer.
Miami making some big plays on offense in garbage time.
They turn it over on downs and KC is running out the clock after the two minute warning.
Wow, KC fumbles on 3rd down and Miami gets it.
Game is already over so not a big deal.
