Well.. I was half correct. I predicted SF to win. As for BAL, there were two things that got exposed. First, that the RB's do not know how to do blitz pickup. Second, the refs pulled up lame again. The no-call on the blatant pass interference sealed the deal for KC. If they call it correctly. It would have put BAL at the KC 30 yard line down 17-10 with plenty of time to go. Who knows if they win it after that.. but then they would be fewer "ifs"
As for the zay flowers fumble.. he was diving for the end zone not celebrating. Should he have stayed upright and tried to break the plane of the end zone that way instead? Maybe. But lots of players have done that before. It just happens that Willy Snead for KC was in the right place at the right time to poke it away.
Detroit fans should not be too downtrodden. That roster is young and built the right way. They first drafted the OL and then the skill players. As a result, they have 3 pro bowl level OL that are in their prime. If they are smart, they trade down in the draft and in the 2nd and 3rd rounds... go for a RG and a DT.
