Great team win. Lots of young talent that keeps getting batter. Watching this team without expectations this year and just enjoying the process makes a win like todays especially terrific
I don't get the angst about getting the extra 11 yards before half.
You only get a free kick if it's blocked. A missed kick is a missed kick.
And it would have been like a 74 yard FG
66 yard FG, because it wouldn't have to be thrown 8 yards back by the centre. And the trajectory could be lower because there would be no rush.

Gary had a dominating game, along with constant pressure, the sacks are starting to come, the strip sack, and Owens scoop for a score, imo set the stage.
from start to finish Love was outstanding, this is the kind of performance we hoped for, that shot to Reed for the TD was pint point perfect.
Dillon had some very good runs, WAtson finally produced, Reed seems to always be open.
Barry finally goes with heavy front and pass rush, it saved our secondary, why did Barry wait till all he has are rookies to play more man coverage? was this his plan, play rope a dope defense till the last 7 games? I can't figure that guy out, the stop on the punt fake, awesome.
best game we've played in a long time, tough watching with a crowd of people screaming and yelling, I taped it and will re watch, I'am sure I missed some other key parts

Huh. I did not know that.
Thank you for teaching me something new.

I will happily eat crow regarding Jordan Love. After the stretch of the Raiders, Broncos, and Vikings, I was ready to throw in the towel. Glad he wasn't. Wow did he look good yesterday.

As soon as he fair caught it I yelled out "free kick!" Impressed my Dad that I beat the announcers to it. I suppose the downside would be if you gave the ball back to DET with 1 second left for a hail Mary try?

I didn't realize that we had played so much man coverage yesterday. Thanks for pointing that out. I say we should keep it up.

With all the good things and stuff seeming to go our way more than not, I think this squad played at a higher than usual emotional level. I hope they can maintain that against a good and experienced Chiefs team and beyond.

Man is probably easier for rookies but man can also burn you. Especially against great and fast WRs like Williams St Brown
What went our way is we were really good in the RZ and 3rd/4th down defense

The Chiefs game is a game we are playing with house money.
I'm excited because I expect a loss but a win is a major bonus!

Still needlessly throwing off the back foot and/or falling away. Great play though.

This has happened a lot, we are pretty &%$@ at pick plays as WRs.
