I sent a PM to to Captain Hindsight several hours BEFORE this was ever posted requesting paypal info.

....I thought it was a fake slide. I ALSO thought and continue to think, that there is room here for a fan of a rival team, to make that thread, and have that thread allowed to stand, and not ban the poster who started the thread. I knew it would be an extreemly unpopular take, but you guys have thick skins and can handle it. I wouldn't expect anything less than the response I got. That doesn't change the fact I don't welch and when KC has lost to the Bills I always show up, post, offer congratulatoins and take my medicine (although this last meeting, I predicted a bills win)

Not sure where this "welcher" narrative came from. I've always paid up, and showed up.

This sort of thing has been asked by other Bills fans here to me. I don't post on Chiefs planet. Not my kind of place. A lot of bad Chiefs fans there. Not representative of the fans you actually find on gameday at the stadium. In short...you'd probably not be welcomed warmly there. Also...if you search my history...I have complimented this community numerous times. This is a great board...lots of really engaged fans, that show up when times are good or bad. I'm glad to be a small tiny part of it here.

Congratulatoins! You are welcome. Thanks for posting that I paid up.

I'm here. Sent Capt Hindsight my paypal infor just now. I pay my bets....and I don't ghost when things don't go my way. Also, Folks I've bet with in the past in this community have always paid up to me whenever I've won. I'll wait until Captain gets back to me with his paypal and confirms I've paid, but anyone looking for a little Chiefs Bills action? I'll take KC and the points....would be willing to make 3 separate 100 dollar bets.

A pump fake, juke, fake pitch...etc are all plays that by rule DO NOT require the defender to give up on the play. A slide is specificially intended to protect the QB because by rule, once he slides he has given up, and by rule the defender must also. It's not the same thing. The defender was quoted after the game saying he wasn't sure if Josh was about to slide or not....causing him to pause...and not that Josh would know or care, but said player had already been fined and suspended for a late hits already this year. The defender to Josh's front right also pretty much gives up on the play (which is his fault, didn't play to whistle) so probably also thought Josh was about to slide. Doesn't look like a guy fighting to stay in the play and make a tackle at all.

Turnovers will matter alot in this game. KC was 7-1 in games where they were either even or plus in TO ratio for the year. KC was 4-5 in games they were -1 or worse...including the loss to the Bills where KC was -1 in a 3 point loss.

The Defender that Josh "Jukes" was just coming off a suspension and fine for a late hit. Let's say you are right...lets say that's something other than a fake slide....the defender was quoted as not being sure if he was about to slide causing him to hesitate. And the defender to Joshs front right, coming off a block, clearly hesitates and gives up. That's on him....you shouldn't give up until you hear a whistle...but it sure looks like he lets up thinking the play is about to be over. The worst part of this for Josh and any other QB...including Mahomes, who gives the impression that they might be considering or not considering a slide, intentional or not, is that the defense is eventually going to clock these guys and just accept the 15 yard penalty in an effort to get them to be alot more clear about their intentions.

Why wouldn't we be? The Bills are a good team with a great QB. We are going on the road. Plenty there to be nervous about.

I'm not trying to diminish the greatness of Josh Allen. He's awesome. I think that was a fake....alot of people (outside Buffalo) do. I'd like to see this aspect removed from the game. the slide is a rule to protect the QB...and it shouldn't be exploited by anyone. I understand the late hits on slides are judgement calls and sometimes the defender just can't stop...other times they are tyring to get a shot in. I get that Mahomes benefits from this rule on the sideline because players don't want get the 15 yard penalty and Mahomes will get an extra 5 out that circumstance. Congratulations on the win. I am excited for the upcoming game adn I know the mafia is fired up to be hosting this in Buffalo. Should be a fun week leading up to the game. I'm looking forward to seeing Mahomes on the road for the first time in the playoffs. Hopefully there won't be any bad calls etc that swing the game one way or the other and it's settled on the field.

You do realize this SAME account thinks Allen faked the slide right?

Show me one where I said it was OK to do it. I can show you some posts from Bills fans complaining about DAK doing a fake slide in that game.

I never said that Mahomes should get away with fake slides. I think fake slides should be a penalty. SOME of the replies here acknowledge that what Allen did was a fake slide but then just say it's fine because Mahoems does fake slides. I'm not defending fake slides no matter who does them.

Looking forward to the matchup! These matchups have been incredible over the years...and why would this one be any less epic? Bills with their best shot to advance since 13 seconds....HUGE legacy game for both QB's in this one! Can't wait!

JJ Watt thinks this was a brilliant example of USING A FAKE SLIDE...It's not like I'm out here by myself in the desert on this NFL QB's and Hall of famers think this was a fake slide.

This is a fair response. All I am saying is that it SHOULD be a 15 yard penalty. It's not. You are allowed to fake slide. It's crap.

Except in this case, when you fake, the defender is supposed to give up on the play by rule.

Yeah, this was also garbage.

The defender 7 yards away?

That isn't a juke...he's slowing as if to slide...7 yards from nearest defender...then starts running again...how is this a juke? Who is he juking...the guy 7 yards away?

The nearest defender was 7 yards away.....

That was a juke?

So no comment on the fake slide?
