Good coaching or bad coaching: End of Bengals/Chiefs game

[Utilit99 4,099]

 

WTF was that? They sure didn't want KC to get that ball back with any time on the clock with having at least a 6 point lead. That was focking risky coaching.

If you didn't see it, here's a recap:

Tied at 31-31 Bengals have the ball nearing the goal line with 2:00 minutes left. They get down to the one, can't push it in on 3 plays and in the mean time the Chiefs use up their timeouts. 4th down at the half yard line with :58 seconds left.

They go for the TD 

They DON'T get TD on a run. Turnover. 

But NO, offsetting penalties. No play.

They decide to go for the TD again with :50 left on the clock instead of taking the FG. 

Incomplete pass. Turnover!! 

But NO!! Penalty on the Chiefs, hands to the face. 

Half the distance and 1st down.

Burrow got injured on the previous play and limps off the field. 

Back up QB comes in and takes a knee to get the clock down and then next play spikes it with :02 on the clock.

Bengals get FG and win. They don't know anything yet about Burrows injury.

I was driving and listening on the radio but thought it was dumb

honestly I thought it was a dumb call.  you have a chance to take the lead with 2 minutes to go, you take it.

but they got saved by a penalty call.

worked out for them.  They were lucky.

I don't think it was 2 minutes left. The last try for the TD was with about 55 seconds left. Then they got bailed out for the second time.

I honestly think it was sh!tty clock management by Reid. I believe there was 2:04 left when the Bengals had 1st and goal at the 1, Chiefs had 2 timeouts left. I say let them score then march down and tie it up. Give Mahomes 2 minutes with 2 timeouts? Yeah, I'll take that please.
