Kincaid was short spotted. His elbow, to me, put ball inches short of line to gain. Was spotted around a (ish)yard short. Allen appeared to get it, barely, from there. It was the last angle you could tell, so not surprising they didnt overturn. Cold reality is that he refs just arent very good. Their slow, they werent ready, and it was all night. Bills should have run right, though, so the slow ref on (closer) bills sideline got to make the call. Jones was on right, but gassed.

It seems too early to try and write his legacy. Peyton Manning didn't make a SB until he was around 30. I don't think he made one in the amount of years Allen has had. Allen could still win rings and the narrative changes fast after winning one.

Wouldnt say that. Kc hasnt gotten to allen much passing + good rushing yardage.

Kelce is a tight end. Most of his catches are 3-10 yards. Smith shuster is a wide receiver. Kelce played a little marques colston / antonio gates in early years, but a tight end now.

Neither does KC, so even matchup.

Hard to say, many possibilities. Marlon and the ravens have always failed to realize you can win a lot of games by not beating yourself. Its always a dumb penalty, turnover or bad decision making on 4th / in clutch that sinks Baltimore jack Last year it was a van noy penalty shoving Kelce post whistle that helped sink them. The Allen shot was pathetic. That would have knocked out many qbs in league.

Wow on Humprey quote - just goes to show one can make it to the top of the game while lacking in intestinal fortitude. Why wouldn't he and his team just beat them, if important? Can't imagine Michael Jordan saying something like that.

Its been like this for a long time across all sports. Djokovic doesn't get calls that are outside lines as its electronic now, but he does get extra slack (and makes opponents wait) as he gets into it with the crowd, taunts hecklers, etc. They are time violations but don't get called. The umpires aren't going to mess with him in that way, but likely would give violations to lesser known players. Same as Allen and Mahomes getting more late hit/roughing calls than say, Jaden Daniels.

This is the best message board in the nfl, hands down.

Taylor def jumped early and seems to often. He takes advantage of refs not wanting to make a call late.

So is rest of nfl. Hence, the oddball rule wrinkle where they play buffalo in atlanta for the title game.

Have you ever been to Kansas city, lol? The wind here gusts 15mph 1 out of every 2 days. since Josh Allen arrived, kc has 50 wins, buffalo 40. I wouldnt get too carried away.

A man who hates andy reid, interesting.

The main reason i think bengals were going to win was allen looked visibly rattled, and burrow was warming up to play. It was 50/50 until Hamlin went down.

I think many chiefs fans felt cincy had a better than 50/50 shot at winning that game. In that light, buffalo got kinda lucky with this oddity of a resolution. Cincy was at home, winning, poyer banged up, then one key injury and then Hamlins tragedy. at that moment, and as burrow warmed up ready to keep going, it surely appeared it was their night.

Kc lost significant odds to host the afc title game vs buffalo.

With all respect, that doesn’t leave everything intact, as that was the Bills toughest test of year, and teams like mine (kc) stood to gain from a loss. Giving both teams a win seems like the only thing they shouldnt do. ps - i have lurked the board for years, its the best nfl message board that i know of, nothing but love for Hamlin and your team/city. Surely do not want to see you guys at arrowhead or buffalo with the ball in Allens hands and the clock expiring. the problem for us is we dont want to see cincinatti anymore either.
