2025 NFL Divisional Playoffs: Oh Christ it’s This Asshole Again

[kuronosan]

Lol y'all, this is fun to learn.

Y'all know Josh Allen has done the same fake slide thing too right? Talks to the refs? No?

Where's the evidence that he was "fake running out of bounds"? Because the guy missed a tackle? What's he supposed to do, just run out of bounds instead of stop to dodge the tackle?

If a running QB like Lamar or Hurts did that, you call them great.

Cool cool. Let's see what this weekend brings. Maybe I'll jump on the couch too.

The evidence is that I fucking watch football. He clearly slows down to insinuate he’s giving himself up out of bounds, so the defenders avoid him so as to not get flagged with another fugazi late hit on Mahomes. You know. Like this one.

[Mrbeansman]

I mean I'm not a fan of the fake slide shit but if the leagues not gonna step in and do something about it why would they not do it?

certain qbs are protected more than others. if aidan o’connell gets blown up, and is taken out the rest of the game because of it, viewership doesn't go down. its just the business side of the nfl

mahomes definitely takes advantage of his superstardom, and has for years now

hurts doesn’t fake slide, he gets fucking annihilated every time he runs

[Celeras]

What are y'all worried about, didn't you see what Azzeez Al-Shaair did to Trevor on a CLEAN slide?

I say let Mahomes try that fugazi shit against the Texans. Make my fucking day.

So a bad flag when he was running OOB and that means in the niners game he purposely slowed down to avoid... Getting hit? I don't see how that's evidence he did it to "pretend to run out" when he clearly does run out of bounds every time he intends to.

In that game he clearly stops to make the guy miss a tackle then books it up the sidelines and runs out as soon as he has no space to move. So what did everyone want him to do, run to the center of the field?

Y'all have analyzed football longer than me, no matter how long I've watched it, but I don't have to be an analyst to say it's reaching in this video and general.

My point is if it was anyone but Mahomes nobody would care (and they don't).

[Tyche]

Mahomes been faking slides and faking running out of bounds to bait defenders into flags/get extra yards for literally years. It gets Monday-morning-QBd at least 3 or 4 times a season/playoffs in the media. Pretty sure he's had multiple active NFL players call him out for it. It's not new and it's glaringly obvious.

Pickett did this in the NCAA and it immediately was banned. 3years ago. Mahomes is gonna get Trevor Lawrence'd at some point, but not get any of the same sympathy.

I don't watch anywhere near as much football as I do hockey and racing, but mahomes doing this shit has been known for many seasons.

Do y'all read body language? How do you even tell that he was going for a slide and not stopping himself there?

Legit confused. You see the video and go DAMN MAN MAHOMES FAKE SLIDES ALL THE TIME and I see the video and see him stopping momentum.

What do you even look for to determine that?

Like, is it a fake slide because the defense misread it? Or is it a fake slide because it "looks like one"?

[Krandor]

This is some next level homerism.

Ah yes. That's what it is.

[Celeras]

Maybe sic Al-Shaair on Kuro instead

So edgy, maybe your post should play for the Jags so they get some sacks next season.

I'm baffled how nobody can seem to answer this without going "LOL HOMER TALK". Forget the Chiefs for a minute.

HOW do you determine what's a fake slide or not?

[Krandor]

The NCAA managed to implement a rule banning fake slides thanks to Kenny Pickett 3 years ago and can't recall anyone else trying it since then. But since it's partially a judgement call obviously the NFL refs would never be allowed to penalize Mahomes

Ball Declared Dead – Rule 4-1-3

Play #1: 3/10 @ B-40. QB A12 takes the snap and rolls out to the right. Finding no receiver open, A12 turns up field and runs. After making the line to gain, A12 breaks stride as if he is going to slide feet first at the B-27, stays upright and runs for a touchdown.

RULING: The live ball becomes dead at the point where A12 simulates or fakes as if he will begin a feet-first slide. An official shall sound their whistle and declare the ball dead. Team A will have 1/10 @ B-27.

Any time a ball carrier begins, simulates, or fakes a feet-first slide, the ball should be declared dead by the on field officials at that point. The intent of the rule is player safety, and the objective is to give a ball carrier an option to end the play by sliding feet first and to avoid contact. To allow the ball carrier to fake a slide would compromise the defense that is being instructed to let up when the ball carrier slides feet first. A fake slide will not be considered reviewable under Rule 12-3-3 – Dead Ball and Loose Ball

HOW do you determine what's a fake slide or not?

.... when a guy fakes the slide. do you not have eyes lol

bill cowher once spent a whole segment blasting white cam/mahomes/lamar for taking advantage of the slide/oob rules. chances are cowher knows what he's talking about

[Krandor]

It feels like this forum is the only place in the entire world where Kuro is exposed to criticism of the Chiefs and doesn't know what to do about it

What the algorithm does to a MF

[Weltall]

My buddy has a bucket of airplane bottles and is taking one for every Jawaan Taylor penalty that isn’t flagged.

Currently calling funeral homes for availability.

[Weltall]

Cowboys are really going to end up with Kellen Moore or Aaron Glenn lol

[Rhyis.]

i like the idea of aaron glenn. despite all of the lions defensive players being killed he's been keeping them afloat

kellen is who i said would be hired the moment party mike walked tho, and that's still who i expect. he's jason garrett v2.0
