only possible way to end this game was to keep one of the QBs from being allowed to come out

so many interesting story lines possible.
RAMS - make it again with yet another quarterback?
Bengals - first SB since the Boomer/Ickey years?
Chiefs - ok, this one's been done
49ers - Garropolo redemption arc?

Patrick Mahomes threw for 188 yards after the two-minute warning.The #Bears only threw for more than 188 yards in 8 games this season. And it took them until Week 9 to do it for the first time.(h/t my wife for making me look this up)— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) January 24, 2022

It's a lot easier to rack up big passing yardage when your receivers run for most of them after making the reception.

if you're wondering "how did Kelce get so open?" on that final throw in regulation, here it is. Bills playing prevent defense despite Chiefs having all their timeouts. idk what they were thinking
also watching some footage of the Packers offense from Saturday and indeed it appears that Rodgers played a pretty bad game after the first drive. St. Brown and Deguara were fairly open on a bunch of plays (not wide open, but open enough where Rodgers should easily have been able to hit them) but instead he keeps trying to force it to Adams or dump it to Jones. obviously hitting Adams is what sank the 49ers during the regular season matchup and doubling him seems to be the main adjustment they made after that first drive. insane that Rodgers doesn't seem to figure this out at all.

i'm trying to understand this - so yards after catch is cheating somehow?
a big part of being a good QB is being able to find players and space and hit them in stride (the biggest factor in YAC)
here's the top 10 teams for yards after catch:
Rank Team Yards after Catch1 Kansas City Chiefs 27002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26233 Green Bay Packers 24854 Cincinnati Bengals 24235 Las Vegas Raiders 23576 Los Angeles Chargers 23507 Arizona Cardinals 23078 San Francisco 49ers 22649 Dallas Cowboys 220710 Los Angeles Rams 2145
here's the top 10 passers:
Tom Brady5316
Justin Herbert5014
Matthew Stafford4886
Patrick Mahomes4839
Derek Carr4804
Joe Burrow4611
Dak Prescott4449
Josh Allen4407
Kirk Cousins4221
Aaron Rodgers4115
so, it's correlating (josh allen excepting - bills yac is #20) that the best QBs have the most YAC, presumably because of accuracy/timing/etc (could be speed but for example tyreek hill is not high up on the YAC list and he's generally considered maybe the fastest person in the NFL)
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 24 January 2022 19:52 (two years ago) link
over the course of a full season, sure. I think the point he was trying to make is that there is a lot of variance when you add in YAC. I just thought the stat was funny considering that, y'know, the Bears could've had Mahomes

yards after catch is cheating somehow?
I was more trying to respond that a weird made-up stat like 'passing yardage gained per minute of clock time' is not a reliable measure of quarterback skill, compared to, well, any QB stat that's widely used and recognized. It's striking, but it's not a good measure of anything. What's more telling are the number of points scored by KC in that amount of time.

what's really striking to me about all this is remembering when Rodgers came into the league; here was this guy who was supposed to be the first overall pick, and instead he just kept sliding and sliding until he finally got picked by the Packers, who made him sit for 3 years behind a guy who didn't really seem interested in training him for the starting role. there was this sense that he'd gotten screwed and he was asked about it in interviews all the time. and he actually handled them really well, basically saying "look, I'm going to be the starter, nobody on this planet is going to feel sorry for me so I won't feel sorry for myself". dude would not entertain any of the drama. I know that was a while ago but going from that to "Help! I'm being cancelled! Nobody likes me because they can't handle my opinions!!!" is pretty nuts. I can only imagine the shit that's gone on behind the scenes.

nah in fact there's a good argument to be made for Mercedes Lewis' fumble losing GB the game because it guaranteed that Rodgers was never gonna throw to him again. I remember a few years back some receiver running the wrong route leading to an ugly looking pick and Rodgers like, wouldn't throw it to him again until 5 weeks later. I think it was Valdez-Scantling actually. Who by the way was also open on like 20 different pass plays
funny thing is Favre was the exact opposite, if a player fumbled he would pretty much always throw it back to him right away the next series
