I watched on Paramount + so couldn't rewind, but on that last drive on second down how was that not grounding? No receiver in sight and ball didn't get back to the line of scrimmage.

Because “they” wanted Mahomes in the Super Bowl

Because that was Patrick Mahomes. NFL wants KC in the SB, so when he does the same exact thing as Burrow on the prior drive it's not a penalty for him.

I totally get that, but none of the announcers mentioned it, and the Cincinnati bench didn't seem too upset about it (or if they were CBS didn't show it.). That's why I asked, was Mahomes out of the pocket?

So I just pulled up the game on the NFL+ app and rewatched 2nd and 4. Mahomes dropped straight back, stayed right between the hashmarks and threw the ball to no one. It hit in the middle of the KC logo and there was no one, not even an ineligible receiver, within five yards of the ball. So I ask again, what am I missing here?

It looked really obvious in real time, and even worse upon replay.

It’s sort of like how for years if anyone even gave Tom Brady a harsh look, they got a personal foul.

I really hope you’re wrong about games are influenced by which teams the league and networks want to see on the field. Seems to me intentional grounding just isn’t called any longer, no matter how blatant. All part of the rules bailing out and helping offense in the game.

I’m bummed that the Chiefs are in- now I have zero interest in watching.

Tom Brady just may have found his home for 2023.
I don’t know how they make that work salary cap-wise without hurting the rest of the team because they have to let other really good players go that are looking to get paid too. That stout defense would lose some key players.

Another quick word on the late hit last night- Bengals fans are only too familiar with a player who does something dumb at a key moment in a playoff game. Nothing was done about that a few years ago. Accountability is needed.

Garappolo is a UFA and would not be resigned. I would expect Brady to sign a one year, team-friendly deal if this happens. He doesn't need the money, has a history of signing for less than market value, and would be going to the best situation to win one more Super Bowl, which is what he cares about.
