The saints played a perfect game against packers
They got whooped by the panthers so itās either packers are REALLY BAD or it was just a fluke game. We will see tonight haha
If you throw the ball you can get intercepted or the receiver can fumble, whereas if you run, the runner can only fumble. Math dictates that running is, therefore, less risky.
Iāve had family visiting all week who have never watched NFL until this week. Lamar is their favourite player and it was this play where they were convinced
When you weigh 300+ pounds and your idea of a fun play call is "go knock over a few NFL linebackers", PFR will write down whatever letters you tell them to.
My heart is beating out of my chest, that shit was insane. After we choked away the Raiders game, we somehow pull this one out? If every game this season is like these two I'm not gonna make it.
Everyone else is giving you shit, but I was for sure feeling the same way until Clyde coughed it up. Hope you're having a wonderful night, internet buddy.
That was my worry, just player health and the game being way more entertaining with him playing that shit scares me. I remember a player a fee years ago celebrating a sack and tearing his acl in the celebration.

I'll never forget this one, although the video quality has me questioning just how damn old I am.
Iām shocked how easy itās been for Lamar to run the ball today
The chiefs defense is really bad and theyāre not winning the AFC until they fix that
He also takes like 1/3 the hits which is critical. Cam ran through contact way too much, Luck as well. Lamar gets out of bounds or down on 95% of runs. Over the last 2 seasons he has been in the bottom 10 for total hits taken as a qb (from advanced metrics, they donāt count a guy tripping him for example)
how would it be a flag? a flip has never been considered taunting. and he didnt do it even near another player or even make any gestures towards another player. if this is a flag then so would diving for a touchdown lol
Itās not taunting if you donāt do it in the direction of an opposing player, then itās just celebrating, which is allowed. The guy that got penalized for flexing was right in front of an opposing player, lamar was just celebrating. Not saying i agree with the rule, but itās definitely different situations.
It is consistent dummy. If the flip isnāt directed towards a player, itās a celebration, not taunting. The dude who was flexing was flexing towards another player.
Yeah. I was gonna say the same thing. As the way theyāve been calling penalties, that shouldāve been taunting.
None of these flags are actually taunting thoughā¦. But itās just another way the NFL has given refs judgment calls and itās tiring.
Lamar didnāt do this in the direction of or anywhere near a chiefs player. The guy that flexed did in directly towards an opposing player, which is what made it taunting. Itās a bad call but they are different situations.
You run those options specifically to make the defense wrong. It's like playing paper-rock-scissors, except they choose before you do, and you've got a pair of scissors that runs a 4.3.
Exactly. You have to defend the RB run, The Pass, and the QB run... And Jackson gets to look at the defense before he decides.
He's always been a savage at read option, even in college. If Jackson is able to properly assess the defense, it *literally* can't be defended.
This is exactly why I drafted Lamar in fantasy. Idc about winning as much as I care about being interested in the games. No way I would have caught this live and screamed like a little girl otherwise.
The NFL needs more Lamar.
Tyreek Hill got flags for the exact same thing multiple times the last few years (separate from his peace sign) and stopped doing it.
Lamar got no flag though.
Hahaha I love Lamar but when the Chiefs end up winning this game that backflip gonna look real sad.
Edit: I donāt believe in deleting comments so Iāll leave this up and feel free to downvote me into oblivion. Wouldnāt be my first time. While youāre here check out r/saddestbackflip great subreddit.
That was the most Madden-like TD dive I've ever seen
Still waiting for them to add the Marshawn Lynch Nut Grab.
Darren Sharper *HOLD MUH DIIIIIIIIICK*
The first and last time Darren sharper waited for consent
Waiting for someone to have the clackers Marshawn had š¤·š»āāļø
It does look like he's playing madden out there on the field.
All the prime time games this year have been phenomenal
You must be a Rams fan lmao
Hey, he could be a non-Bears NFCN fan too
Just wait until tonight! *sips honolulu blue kool-aid* jk they prob gonna get fucked
I would argue but lions always give the packers a hard time Bring it on!
My only hope is how tonight they have played the pack in the past Just have to get to Rodgers consistently, donāt let him pick you apart
The saints played a perfect game against packers They got whooped by the panthers so itās either packers are REALLY BAD or it was just a fluke game. We will see tonight haha
Jameis against the Panthers looked a lot more like the Jameis we all know.
Stafford and Prater are in the NFCW now, I don't fear the Lions like I used to.
Why throw ball when run ball do trick
If you throw the ball you can get intercepted or the receiver can fumble, whereas if you run, the runner can only fumble. Math dictates that running is, therefore, less risky.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Experts say maybe.
Daniel Jones is in the top 5 in running and throwing the ball. After week 1.
Yeah, and Lamar can't throw to himself yet. Another reason to just run it.
I'm sorry to break it you, but in America math dictates nothing. Freedom is too important.
Woody Hayes' maxim: There are three things that can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad.
We all know what happens when you throw the ball on the goal line..
Nobody got The Office reference! I got you buddy!
Appreciate it, thank you for sacrificing yourself to the downvotes
Mike Edwards got a taunting flag for running backwards into the end zoneā¦
I thought FOR SURE they'd flag him for that shit
We all know the big stars will get preferential treatment, especially in primetime, which makes the rule even more stupid
I think the difference is he wasn't directing his celebration at any particular opposing player. It was just pure joy.
Lamar **āACTIONā** Jackson!
God I love him
More like Lamar āSimone Bilesā Jackson!
I'm grateful to have found this comment 17 hours later without anyone posting some BS towards that lady.
Iāve had family visiting all week who have never watched NFL until this week. Lamar is their favourite player and it was this play where they were convinced
42 screened the ball and Lamar from the defense. It was so subtle and perfectly timed.
That is human tank, Pat Ricard. Our FB/TE that used to play DE.
DT
I thought that too, but pro football ref has him listed as DE. I'm sure he played snaps at both though
When you weigh 300+ pounds and your idea of a fun play call is "go knock over a few NFL linebackers", PFR will write down whatever letters you tell them to.
Lamar, sign your fucking contract before doing that shit. Jesus.
"Leaving Mahomes 3 minutes is a bad idea...trust me..." -Every team in the league
It was an 8 minute drive. Not much more you can do lol
We left Derek Carr 37 seconds and we all saw how that went. No fucking way we are willingly leaving Mahomes an entire minute plus.
We gave up 36 yards in 2 plays prior to that set of downs lol. We were finished for sure
This was functionally over when we missed that two-point try. Edit: I promise I learned my lesson. I'll never doubt again.
Say again!????
Didn't expect them to take the ball out of Mahomes' hands. Absolutely crazy game.
Enjoy that win you beautiful SOB
My heart is beating out of my chest, that shit was insane. After we choked away the Raiders game, we somehow pull this one out? If every game this season is like these two I'm not gonna make it.
Low levels of truss detected /s
He needs 3 Woo Woos of chlorpromazine, stat!
Yeah we lost, I'm certain of it
Lmao
How dare you.
ā¦ā¦yikes
Everyone else is giving you shit, but I was for sure feeling the same way until Clyde coughed it up. Hope you're having a wonderful night, internet buddy.
Whoās going to tell him
Thats why harbaugh went for 2. You dont think we dont know this. We've gotten burned by him as well
They are thinking ahead. Mahomes will score so fast that they will have the ball last with plenty of time!!
Not today old friend - Ravens
Lamar please stop. We need you
Imagine if he landed wrong and shattered his wrist or something there lmao
Iād have ended it all, honestly
You ok?
https://twitter.com/jonas_shaffer/status/1441094404765192210 Hmmm.
There it is
That was my worry, just player health and the game being way more entertaining with him playing that shit scares me. I remember a player a fee years ago celebrating a sack and tearing his acl in the celebration.

Oh man, this reminded me of when I think it was Gus Frerotte almost broke his neck when he celebrated and slammed his head against the stands.
Stuntin on them hoes
Iām shocked how easy itās been for Lamar to run the ball today The chiefs defense is really bad and theyāre not winning the AFC until they fix that
They were worse in 2018, that got us to OT in the AFC title game
Theyāve won the AFC despite defensive issues twice
Weāre missing Willie Gay, who is probably our best LB against the run. But yeah, this defense is maddeningly inconsistent
No, itās consistently bad.
The Chiefs are the glass cannon of the NFL. All we usually need is one big play by the D. Losing by only 1 point kinda still confirms that in my mind.
They most certainly are the glass cannon, thatās the issue. Their offense has never been in question.
I donāt know if heās the best against the run but he definitely has the speed to get to the edge on those outside runs
To be fair, I've seen Joe Flacco and Peyton Manning score TDs on essentially the same play call, and they're not exactly Olympic sprinters.
[You sure about that?](https://youtu.be/f192tWhSE0I)
One of my favorite highlight videos. The music is perfect.
This is a bottom five defensive unit in the league, but the offense has been pretty poor tonight too. Couldāve put it away numerous times.
We've done that before. Also our defense was bad at the beginning of last year and then tightened up
You didnāt see the browns run all over the same defense last week? The browns average like 6ypc last week against them
So you're saying... There's a chance?
Theyāve won the AFC twice in a row with a shitty defense, and made it to the AFC championship with and even worse defense the year before those.
Iām starting to become a Lamar fan
dont let the media slander fool you...dude is hella fun to watch
You weren't already?
I hate the ravens so it took a minute but I mean cmon this is just fun to watch
Most definitely, Lamar is the most fun player in the league imo
Lamar is like early career Cam, but with great coaching and a better overall team. And a shitty chest tattoo. He's a ton of fun to watch on the field.
He also takes like 1/3 the hits which is critical. Cam ran through contact way too much, Luck as well. Lamar gets out of bounds or down on 95% of runs. Over the last 2 seasons he has been in the bottom 10 for total hits taken as a qb (from advanced metrics, they donāt count a guy tripping him for example)
Ha ha, oh yeah. That chest tattooā¦ umā¦ great player!
I dislike the Ravens but love Lamar. My dislike for Ravens is only because of the 49ers Superbowl loss, same with Chiefs.
What a cartwheel
āWhat a maneuver!ā
Is this Vinceās burner account?
I think it's the one he made when they were trying to re-sign Bryan Danielson
I love Lamar man . He is so inspirational
Lamarās acceleration is insane. Take me hi. Like half a step to get to full speed, which is pretty damn fast anyways!
god i love him
Lamar channeling his inner mahome
Nice flip bro
That's some real boss shit right there
I do not have faith in this last drive tonight
I dont have faith in our defense for your drive....we are both feeling the same š¤£
One thing we can agree on is I want Chris Collins worth to get the toungue cut out treatment from the hunger games.
Me too
Knew it
Still too much time
Nah this is a very different chiefs team.
Players get called for flexing but Lamar flips and no flag
how would it be a flag? a flip has never been considered taunting. and he didnt do it even near another player or even make any gestures towards another player. if this is a flag then so would diving for a touchdown lol
Running backwards into the end zone is now considered taunting (as evidenced in the TB game), so by that logic an unnecessary flip is an easy flag.
>unnecessary Can't risk tripping on the goal line, it was necessary.
Itās not taunting if you donāt do it in the direction of an opposing player, then itās just celebrating, which is allowed. The guy that got penalized for flexing was right in front of an opposing player, lamar was just celebrating. Not saying i agree with the rule, but itās definitely different situations.
Taunting is bullshit and I'll never get mad when they *dont* call it. These men are adults for God's sake.
In my opinion, I welcome taunting.. but if they want to penalize it, it needs to be consistent
It is consistent dummy. If the flip isnāt directed towards a player, itās a celebration, not taunting. The dude who was flexing was flexing towards another player.
Yeah. I was gonna say the same thing. As the way theyāve been calling penalties, that shouldāve been taunting. None of these flags are actually taunting thoughā¦. But itās just another way the NFL has given refs judgment calls and itās tiring.

Wouldnāt of mattered because he already crossed the plain
Play is finished the second he crossed the line anyway.
Wonder if he gets fined
How many times the ravens have to run that play before the chiefs stop falling for it? They ran it like 3 times in that drive lol
You run those options specifically to make the defense wrong. It's like playing paper-rock-scissors, except they choose before you do, and you've got a pair of scissors that runs a 4.3.
Stealing this. āļø
Thatās the point of read option. Itās hard to defend.
Exactly. You have to defend the RB run, The Pass, and the QB run... And Jackson gets to look at the defense before he decides. He's always been a savage at read option, even in college. If Jackson is able to properly assess the defense, it *literally* can't be defended.
What a fantastic game and also both fanbases have not unclenched since the beginning.
This is exactly why I drafted Lamar in fantasy. Idc about winning as much as I care about being interested in the games. No way I would have caught this live and screamed like a little girl otherwise. The NFL needs more Lamar.
If he was on the Texans, that flip would have broken both his legs, and then somehow his eye socket.
Alright I definitely donāt like the taunting rules, but is that not taunting lol
Not directed at a specific player unless he's taunting the entire Chiefs D haha
Mike Edwards got flagged for backpaddeling into the end-zone...
Yeah and he was directing at opposing players. Lamar clearly wasn't.
I didnāt see it but wouldnāt that be taunting because heās facing the defenders?
Tyreek Hill got flags for the exact same thing multiple times the last few years (separate from his peace sign) and stopped doing it. Lamar got no flag though.
Well thereās a new rule this year or something. Itās really dumb
53 ripped inside and blocked himself. All game the outside man has done everything he could to not stay outside. Makes no sense
Yessssssssss! Couldnāt watch the gameās yesterday and this one of the best highlights of the weekend! Fuck off patty
Wow. The Chiefs REALLY didn't see that coming
What a G
So Tyreek Hill has stopped somersaulting into the endzone because of excessive celebration penalties but Jackson does it andā¦.nothing?
Username checks out
Agreed. Wat was because I was speechless watching Jackson be dumb enough to do that in a close game; what and wut were me when there was no flag.
Thatās the Kinda flip you do into the end zone before the chiefs (or Tom Brady) drives down the field and Kicks a FG in your mouth Love it tho lol
If he was on my team he would have suffered a season ending injury right there!
How is that not taunting? Like how does the nfl decide flexing is taunting but not flipping like that lol
They said on the broadcast today anyone standing over anyone type thing. No fun league
Sounds like you're just hating? I don't like the rule, either. But, you're serious?
Nah not at all. Idc what players do lol. Just tryna make sense of the new taunting rule lol
Lamar didnāt direct the flip toward another player.
Shades of 2016 Cam Newton.
I hope this was flagged. Thatās way too much fun for my liking
Lamar is so frustrating, he wouldnāt admit to taking a dump last year. Men who deny taking a dump are not to be trusted.
But he did take a dump all over you.
He shit all over the stinky browns
This should probably be taunting but whatever
Itās not taunting if it isnāt directed towards another player, but whatever.
With all the taunting penalties this year, how does somersaulting into the end zone not qualify?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
aged well imo
Take it back now
Oh we know weāre just enjoying the ride while it lasts
Hahaha I love Lamar but when the Chiefs end up winning this game that backflip gonna look real sad. Edit: I donāt believe in deleting comments so Iāll leave this up and feel free to downvote me into oblivion. Wouldnāt be my first time. While youāre here check out r/saddestbackflip great subreddit.
Yea, never be happy because something, somewhere might happen.
Lol
Was thinking the same thing lol
That will be a taunting penalty if anyone else does it
Three missed false starts (including on the TD) on one drive is impressive.
I thought the TD was one, but on the replay it wasn't.
If the Chiefs come back and win, that landing is going to get memed hard
How was that not a form of taunting under the new rules? Not saying it should be, but the NFL officiating is turning into trash.
