That play was enormous. Jusy think how the game and post game narrative would have been different. Potential 9 point lead, but at least a 4 point lead. Everything changes.

I think the whole thing is strange. It's not just as simple as the Chiefs are so much greater than everyone else. It's mathematically defying. Just a warning expect to get called a crybaby.

McDermott's scheme is a real winner against most teams, especially teams who don't have an elite QB or have a rookie. We seem to struggle against the elite teams OC/QB combo on defense. This year our offense played to help the defense. We need much better talent at some spots, and as you say the ability to knock passing games off timing. That has been the strategy since the beginning of time with these really good QBs and passing games. They'll slice and dice you eventually if they get in rythymn. Another issue is like with Detroit this year, Glenn plays the style we're talkin about to the extreme other way. When injuries hit you run short on guys who can cov er.

Yeah that's what they say Ok Mr. therapist

If they're uncoverable then why blitz more. I'll tell you why, because zone leaves too much space for a guy like Burrow to slice and dice. You need guys who can cover immediately. No one can cover over a long period of time.

If you're going to blitz you need guys who can cover man.

This was Ryan Fitzpatricks thought as well on his podcast with Whitworth. The point is it shouldn't have even gotten to fourth down on that play.

I agree with this about the bias. I mean everyone at the NFL offices knows which matchups are preferred money makers.

I understand what you're saying, and I want to feel that as well. But, it seems like they're are some odds defying things that have occurred over a period of games and multiple teams ( not just bills/chiefs)

Look I'm not a conspiracy theorist. However, I do have a significant background in ice hockey. Hockey referees miss calls yes, but in general practice there is the infamous even up call. The culture within the hockey world is for the referees to not want to impact outcomes. To keep the games as safe and fair as possible. In the NFL it's something different going on. THE ODDS WOULD APPEAR TO BE ASTRONOMICAL OF GETTING SO MANY CLOSE CALLS TO GO IN ONE DIRECTION. And, some would argue across many games. How does this happen? Is it the NFL philosophy of we have to get it right? Yet they refuse to keep it at only a select group of plays are reviewable and not all plays as some like Belichick wanted. It just seems to easy to say this is just coincidence. WHAT SAY YOU ALL? keep it rational please, the odds really bother me and it's not just Bills/Chiefs games. What the hell is going on?

Bull *****

Thanks! That was helpful to get me looking forward again. The defense is in need of a huge talent upgrade, as is the receiver room needing a boundary guy.

The Bills are very good to excellent as an organization, coaching staff and QB combination. The Chiefs are perhaps the best ever at the combination. The sad truth.

This one is really stings and will take awhile. Glad some people are over it so easily, your better people than I am . I'm still bitter.

I'm done with the NFL this season and will not be watching the Super Bowl. Everyone who is a Bills (NFL) fan should boycott the game and not give them ratings. I'm seriously considering being done with it all together.

I want to see a Belichik tree if possible. I know it goes back to Parcells, but it seems like an inordinate number of BB coaches have done poorly.

Dawkins is back and feeling well now, correct?

Bills -26 Chefs-24, Bass nails a last second FG to win.

God we don't need the illness epidemic, of course its the Chefs, so whatever breaks they need always come.

What's up with Dion? Flu?

Yeah I think it was the aura around the Niners at the time. They'd won 4 SBs in what 8-9 years. Just realized, they had won 2 previous SBs and were trying to three peat like KC this year.

I remember being so excited because I was scared of the 49ers and since we had beaten Giants had a lot of confidence in Super Bowl win.

The old hockey solution, try to kill the star and take the penalty. Problem solved.

He didn't get knocked out until late in the game

This is it!
