Brian Burns not credited with a sack?

So unless I am mistaken, Burns did not get credit for the sack on the Mahomes read option he destroyed because there was no apparent attempt at a pass. 

I don't really understand the rules there and how you determine if a play is designed to be a run or a pass if the QB is taken down as fast as Mahomes was. I know there was quite a number of times Cam got killed running option plays and the opposing team was credited with a sack.

If you botch a snap and fall on the ball in the backfield is that not a sack?

Anyone care to explain/elaborate?

I feel so pissed off for Burns.  Glad you checked bc I meant to look earlier when it had crossed my mind and forgot...  but yeah, upset for him bc that's like the 3rd off the top of my head that he has been screwed out of bc of the scorekeepers/officials - one of the Herbert strip sacks against the chargers wasn't counted and it was an obvious strip sack, the sack against ATL that was negated by a meaningless def holding penalty (and Burns was injured on the play), and then that play yesterday.  I really wish we had/quickly develop his bookend, bc the Chiefs literally kept the RB on his side every play to either chip or run a screen behind him to slow him down.

A Read Option is a run play for either the QB or HB, it would be classified as a TFL, not a sack. 

My guess is it was more likely an RPO than a read option run play if Mahomes was keeping it.  IIRC, the commentators even said it was an RPO, so Burns not getting credit was likely just due to interpretation by the scorekeepers.

Burns blew it up so fast its hard to say.

God bless him.

He wasn't old enough to get that call.

I still believe that was the turning point in Cams career, not brainlet Rivera/Shula. Though he should have said things public, rather than "send it league office". Refs didnt protect him like other QBs form that comment on, beyond dumb reasoning.

      An Explication of the Offense

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Good write up OP..... I may be the outlier here but I like our WR sans XL. Metchie is sneaky good and just like Dowdle last year he WILL BE the biggest under the radar singing of this year FA moves. I am warming up to the idea of Sadiq at 19 over defense. I'm just ready for every BY excuse to be gone, he doesn't have this or that. No he just sucks and we need to move on. Honestly I've said it before but this team has been depleted of so much talent over the years we really could go BPA and be fine. In DM I trust..........for now

      He's not Cam brother. Disrespectful to Cam at this point to keep mentioning them together. That's just my opinion. We all agree we need the young guys to step up. They have to varying degrees. But they're still learning. Especially the rookies. Guys like Miller and Moose need to take another step and we hope they will get there. Both need to add some bulk in the offseason. Kalk too. We can give them a little grace though. We extended the same courtesy to LaMelo in his earlier years. Many excuses were afforded to him. I agree completely that we need to see both offensive evolution and development under Lee. I feel like the team in some aspects has taken a step back at times under his watch. That can't continue. I hope it all comes together. We'll see. But that clock is ticking and there should be NO excuses after this upcoming season. No more embarrassment please.
