People don't want to see the Chrefs complete their 3-cheat. NFL thinks they do because Taytay. Interesting to see which way it goes in the ratings... I for one usually watch just to do the commercials slam but I don't think I can take it when the Shield drags Kermit and Mr Swift across the finish line for the umpteenth time. Why aggravate myself.

Kyler Gordon.

Sanders is NOT who the Bills or fans would be coveting for DL, yet another sub-300 twitchy guy best suited for 3T, only really makes sense if you move on from Oliver and roll with Carter and Sanders in rotation I think.

I thought they were both gangsters...

Nah. Bills just never bothered to develop a curve ball for the critical 4th and 1 situation, or didn’t call it. Compare with the 4th down tendency breaker blitz the Chiefs dialed up on 4th and 5. They threw the change-up, Bills struck out swinging.

Replay assist was quite willing to overturn a first down that Cook had made, well after the chains had been moved. And how do you trust the league with a challenge after that receiver-defender-ground “simultaneous possession” nonsense, or the ref after awarding the challenge only after he saw the Chiefs next play was a botch and literally declaring a “do-over”? There was a lot of fishy stuff that you don’t see in a game - and I’ve seen an awful lot of games - where if the game wasn’t overtly fixed, it was shaded.

I'm pretty sure a concussed person would do a better job of investigating the NFL than vice versa.

Let's compare and contrast: Remember there was a run by Cook through the middle, he jump cut to his left and finished on the yard-to-gain line. The line judge(s) signalled first down, moved the sticks. Then REPLAY ASSIST calls down and tells them to mark it short, it's third and 1. Do you recall that happening at any other point in the playoffs? I don't. It's lost because the Bills converted iirc with another short Cook run. If clearly Replay Assist has within it's purview where the line to gain was actually achieved, why nothing on the Kincaid spot? The other one I really love was the McDermott challenge, where they waited to see if the KC play failed (it did) and then decided it didn't happen and awarded the challenge. There's a handful of stuff that happened, that was either unprecedented or rarely see, that contributes to this national outrage that the NFL is fixed and funny stuff abounds. They KNEW the spotlight was on them after the row over the Texans game... and they doubled down.

Yeah I was stewing about why no challenge there except on further thought: 1) Why would that have gone any different than the 4th down review 2) With the previous example of the other challenge I wouldn't be surprised if McDermott just didn't trust them to get it right, against that team, in that venue, at that moment, while we're sitting through another batch of State Farm and Doritos commercials. Reid is probably still a better coach straight-up, but being a better coach with the kind of intimidation factor of having the entire league apparatus behind you, as someone else mentioned, forces you to have to be "double-perfect" and have no appeal either.

That's why this is going to be "The 4th down game" the spot was correct, and a 1st down... before they changed it.

Ah I had almost forgotten that I did learn something today. That a tie between a ball being possessed by the receiver, the defender, the ground and the refs simultaneously, is a first down for the Chiefs.

Why does the spot of the line judge with NO VIEW on the ball and seeing the ALLEN on the back of the jersey override the spot of the line judge on the other side? Gee, I wonder why.

There's gotta be a Warren Commission report for that 4th down spot one someday. 1) Near side line judge (with no view on the ball) is marking it just across the 40. 2) Far side line judge (with clear view on the ball) is marking it well across the 40. 3) Near side line judge gets up toward the play and drifts baaaaack behind the 40 and marks it there. 3a) Despite being blocked on his view of the ball. 4) This overrules the far side line judge's mark. 4a) Despite having a clear view of the ball. 5) Replay can't find an angle that showed what was shown 5 minutes later after the decision was made. I don't care to see the league carry the Chiefs to a "3-peat" as if that will make most of the country hate them less, especially when they make it so obvious.

Who could EVER have seen that coming? Maybe all of us here, but not the Bills coaches.

Nantz: "The rest of the game has been cancelled so the platform can be brought out for the trophy presentation to the Chiefs"

That moving the official spot on 4th down, nobody will ever be able to justify that to me, nobody can ever tell me that what my eyes saw didn't happen.

There was no flag. Don't question it.

Nobody blocked anybody?

I'm literally watching the score crawl at the bottom EVERY PLAY to see if the yellow "FLAG" box magically mysteriously shows up

Rousseau gets his helmet ripped off, no ref saw a thing

You attack their best corner 1-on-1?

Boy would it be delicious if Reid McDermotted one to the Bills here with the defensive TO
