What did you think of that golf clap by Kelce?

[Mister Defense]

Asked about the clap after the game, Kelce said the following, from Blueneolines.com (and others):

 

"The 35-year-old tight end was spotted applauding at the crowd after the game to acknowledge the Bills’ performance, in his defense he said “Josh and the Bills balled out, it was only fair to acknowledge them and also thank the fans for showing up despite the unfortunate outcome”.

 

“It’s going to take your best football to beat great football teams, and we didn’t play our best football today and they went out there and beat us,” he said. “That’s how it rolls in the NFL and so all due respect to them that’s going to be a good football team that we will probably see [in the playoffs]” Mahomes also added."

 

To me, this was how I took it when I saw it, so I think he is sincere, a sign of respect, acknowledgment to what is clearly their #1 rival, the only team that beats them regularly during the season.  (And beginning in January, if they play, in the post season too.)

Well, I guess that settles it then. 
 

Just Kidding. Carry on.

Nah Kelce and Mahomes are a couple of douches that are whiny sore losers

 

Simple as that

Personally, I wanted to slap him. 🙃

 

We all know he’s a douche, but I think that reaction was a little classless.

Beat him in the playoffs and give it back to him

[Mr. WEO]

triggered by clapping are we now??

Rewatching the game - Kelce was chirping all game. The scrum he was in the middle of it running his mouth. And Humphrey and Uche were really playing the whistle out. Those two were going a little dialed up. But Kelce definitely was egging on some bad juju

He was clearly annoyed we won, and tried to minimize it.  Nothing more, nothing less.

It wasn’t just Kelce.  Mahomes, Reid and a few others tried to minimize the loss.  Some media even tried twisting into the idea that a loss was a good thing for the team.  
 

It’s all BS because you know that Patrick “you robbed us of greatness” Mahomes especially wanted to go 20-0. 

It reminds me of someone who worked really hard to prepare for a final job interview and when the don’t get the job they said “eh, I never really wanted to job anyway.”

This is possibly the stupidest Bills homer thread of all time. That is all.

All he was saying was "well done, get you next time."

Eff that guy and his diminished skill set. 

[Blank Stare]

Meh. He can say whatever he wants. They’ve earned it as back to back champs. Don’t like it? Beat them in the playoffs.

I think he's taken too many hits to the head if he thought he was golfing.

Last season, while Mahomes and the Chiefs (and their fans) were crying about the refs correctly calling back the game winning TD for false start, Kelce was giving Josh his props for a hell of a game. Even though it was Kelce's crazy impromptu lateral TD that was called back.

 

He's a dude that respects the game. For comparison, Mahomes complained to Josh about the refs, basically telling Josh, "you just won because of the refs."

I can kind of accept the vitriol in the context of a sports rivalry; unfortunately it isn’t limited to that and is all too familiar outside sports into everyday life.
