2021-2022 NFL Season

Another Special Teams blunder. Kc only had time for the FG cuz they kicked to the end zone.

[PGsHeroes32]

No chance the Chiefs dont get a TD here

[MuggsyB]

Crazy.  You've got to feel for Josh Allen. 32 pts in like 3 mins?

Oh....hadn't thought about that.

Really bad that this game was basically decided by a coin flip. Gotta give both teams a chance.

NFL is forever broken until that rule is changed

Buffalo had a chance, they allowed the Chiefs to go 40+ yards in ten seconds to set up a field goal.

Buffalo had a chance. They let KC go through them like a hot knife through butter, though.

I know. Both teams should get a possession in playoff overtime. Seems fundamentally unfair.

Agreed.  That rule is stupid.

As would have Buffalo through KC's. So it came down to the coin flip.

You know, I've always been a "The defense can make a play too" kind of guy ... but in this game I can't help but agree with you. A shame that Josh Allen didn't get a chance, and the ending was weirdly anticlimactic. Was there any non-Bills fan who didn't think the Chiefs were gonna go right down the field there? (And probably lots of Bills fans, too.)

But hey, what a game, especially the fourth quarter. I've seen 1,000 football games, and that one was a classic. The level of QB play in that game ... very difficult to find many better shootouts than that with such high stakes.

I also have a stinkin' feeling that Marquette's win over Xavier won't be leading off Sportscenter -- further proof that ESPN hates Marquette!

And Buffalo refused to waste time by kicking in bounds. Shoulda squibbed.

Also, mahomes had to throw quick or deep. Should have had 2-3 rushers and rest drop back

I already mentioned this. Sean Mcdermott cost the game.

I agree with you 100%. And had KC lost, they would have been able to be second-guessed, too. It was that kind of game, with a zillion little (and not-so-little) scenarios.

I mean, Gabriel Davis, who had 35 catches each of his two NFL seasons, was turned into Jerry Rice + Randy Moss + Larry Fitzgerald + Paul Warfield by the KC defense.

What a day for a sports fan, especially a Marquette fan who also loves pro football. Exhausting!

NFL coaches are surprisingly bad at clock management

The clock doesn't start until it's touched by the return team. The Chiefs player could have just taken a knee and maybe 1 or 2 seconds go off the clock, no more.

It was poor defense.

[Jockey]

All 4 games had a scoring play on the last play in regulation. Wonder if that ever happened before.

[Dish]

If the Bills hadn't lost 9-6 to the Jags, that game tonight would have been in Buffalo (you'd have to assume Bills beat Steelers and Chiefs beat the Pats previous week).

The really bad ones are those too old to have grown up playing Madden.

So 2 seconds out of 13? Seems important. It also would have effected starting field position

[Dish]

To me the simplest fix for those that hate the coin flip: Higher seeded team gets the ball to start OT. If they score a TD on their opening possession, the other team needs to score plus 1 on their next possession.

If first team goes for 2 and converts, and the other team does the same, play on through sudden death.

In Super Bowl, if seeds are tied, point differential over the season & playoffs would decide.

[Herman Cain]

Todd Bowles should be removed from every team's HC list.

Game on the line and there's single coverage on the best receiver in the NFL this year.

I agree with this analysis

I'm fine with that. I am also fine with no extra points in OT. Just two point conversions.

Interesting rule question. I think it's like a spike, so at least three seconds have to go off the clock.
