Same thought here—I was one of the pump the brakes guys on Allen in terms of JK still being the best we ever had—but tonight sealed the deal for me. I watched Jim play some lights out ball, but Allen is on another level—by the time he’s done, I have little doubt he’ll have left most QB’s of all time in his wake.

Kook Aid regular reporting for duty.

Same—but this one was just too much for me to grapple with /process alone…really need the TBD community after something this heart wrenching.

It is eerie how the timelines mirror each other a bit—that would be pretty cool if we dominate for the next umpteen years, but it will require slaying the chiefs dragon at home in the playoffs—no more sleepwalking halfway through the regular season!

I’ll buy that. But we need to snag home field throughout playoffs from hereon out.

Back to the drawing board on D (& DC). Our O? Superb.

You’re not wrong. After these playoffs, I’ll second that. Our D was shameful.

Josh deserved the W.

Such a mind numbing end where you knew the coin flip would decide it, screw the NFL OT rules.

Allen is now officially the Chuck Norris of 4th quarters.

Allen did everything he could short of subbing in for our anemic 4th quarter pass rush. Allen is the freaking man, at least we all know that now with emphasis. He’ll get his before it’s all said and done.

Obviously “Yam” rhymes with Sam, #14 Sammy Watkins’ given name, and he’s no longer a KC deep threat, so…14 dollars should do it!

The way Josh’s been running why not throw him in there on the scout team as Hill for a series or 2? 🤔 (Yes I know, we are in full-on Chuck Norris can do anything territory here with Josh)

Well mystery solved given Josh’s interview today posted above—I wonder if BB has ever done this for any other QB? Pretty cool overall in the moment when it’s all said and done. imho.

Easy now!

Great observations OP; I’d also just like to add that I’ve always been impressed with the sheer length of time Allen is able to keep the fake in place at the RB’s bread basket level, while Allen is reading his keys/selling the fake—it forces the D to commit one way or the other, and gives Allen another split second lead time in letting the pass routes develop. It’s another small but vital detail imho. As a former wannabe QB in an earlier life, I can attest firsthand on the coaching points of emphasis involved with play action, and actually giving it sufficient time in the RB’s (almost) grasp is easier said than done, but Allen has excelled at it.

Glad to see the blue pants were banished for this playoff rematch!

MNF, 1993, Bills at 3 Rivers Stadium--some drunk slob Steeler fans after the game in the concourse sucker punched my buddy (who was wearing Steelers gear) from behind and shoved me into a railing all while stealing my prized Bills hat before we knew what hit us--we were just 15 yr old kids! Security was shoving pastries and pierogies into their mouths somewhere far far away from the scene (I think). So I guess that's not really the definition of a "fight" then, is it?

You could’ve ended your column right there!

Nothing too savory going on here... https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/patriots-bills-bill-belichick-ripped-for-postgame-handshake I hope so. Maybe there's some hope for him after all.

She never said this photo was taken during the game, did she? She said it was shared during the game.

I agree I think based on comments he's dropped along the way and even his postgame interactions suggest he greatly covets Allen and what he brings to the QB table as unique. As to McD, that seems to be a bit more on the frosty side though?

Heard Sal with Howard and Jeremy this morning talk about this on WGR, but Sal was unaware as to any details and haven't seen this pop up anywhere else--was wondering if anyone knows more, or have any guesses as to what was said/may have happened with a Belichick visit to the Bills locker room after this historic game? https://nesn.com/2022/01/bill-belichick-visited-bills-locker-room-after-patriots-playoff-loss/

Got a real kick out of this--I firmly believe it's the little things like this that help build the mutual trust and relationships between these guys which will help get us over the hump and into the Super Bowl this year...

We need him too much on offense now! Wouldn’t want to lose that speed complement we’ve used to such devastating effect the last couple games…
