Really wanted to Bills to win this. Oh well. I don't dislike the Chiefs so not a huge loss

Such a cruel way to lose a game but you can’t play stupid on prevent defense.

The ESPN Win Probability graph kinda says it all...

Goodness that was a great game!

I will point out once again how incredibly wrong I was about Mahomes.

 

[81usaf92]

Yea I don't love that change but that's basically what the NFL OT is especially in a game like this. Chiefs just won because they randomly won the coin toss

if they changed the rules just for the playoffs then fine I would be for it. But watching 90% of NFL games going into OT they really are boring games between bad teams.


College OT is beyond stupid and on par with MLB extra innings.

The sudden death OT is an especially brutal way to lose. I'd be down with a OT rule change for the playoffs. Buffalo at least deserved a chance...

Just so we're clear, I hate pretty much everything LA.

As you were.

Looks like an earthquake reading on a seismograph late in the 4th quarter.

A shame that Allen never got to touch the ball in OT. That feels wrong. I have a coworker who is a lifelong Bills fan and he is probably dying right now.

Well they have already changed the rules once for this. Maybe they should give both teams the ball once, then its sudden death.

AFCCG figures to be the better game but that usually means it’s going to be awful and the other one is the classic

Wow!!!!!!! What a game.

The only worse way to lose in OT is a kick return.

The only worse way to lose in OT is a kick return.

Pick 6. Or a safety.

 

[Al A Bama]

In an overtime game like this, both teams should have an opportunity to get the ball. Did the coin toss plus Mahomes win the game?

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Pick 6. Or a safety.

Nah. Offense has a shot in those cases. A kick-off return neither offense ever sees the field.

No, I didn't think so. Oh wait I get what you're saying. Nevermind.

 

[bvandegraff]

Wonder if a squib kick would've been a good idea after Buffalo's last TD. Their D was gassed....

 

[bamacon]

Just give them both a shot. As bad as the College OT is at least both of them get an equal shot. By OT the defense is usually gassed. Should be something to at least consider.
