Anyone who isn’t watching this game on NBC is missing a fabulous game. It is now going OT after Bills came from behind only to have Chiefs go back ahead only to have Bills get what appeared to be the winning TD only to have Mahomes get it close enough for a tying FG as regulation time ran out.
Allen for Bills looking as spectacular as Mahomes.

Chiefs win. Bills crusher. Mahomes throws TD in OT. He’s just too good.

Bills should have just tackled every receiver and taken the defensive holding penalty to have not allowed the Chiefs to advance the ball the 40 yards in ten seconds.

Great game with tremendous offensive firepower. It was a fitting climax to perhaps the best weekend of NFL footbal in memory. Mahomes & Tyreek Hill were amazing. Josh Allen is blossoming into greatness. ( The woeful Giants passed up on him. Many of us at that time believed they made a mistake.)
However, it seemed to me the tackling was lousy. And, I don't like the overtime rules in the NFL.
Nonetheless, it was an amazing capstone to an amazing weekend of football.

Being a good husband I watched a movie with my wife last night. When it ended I turned on the Chiefs-Bills game, and it had a little over 2 minutes left. My timing was good. I told my wife it was one of the greatest endings to a football game I have ever seen. The Buffalo newspaper was harsh on the Bills (except for Allen), but I thought both teams played a tremendous game.

By far the most exciting ending of any football game that I've seen when I didn't have a vested interest in the results (read: Holy Cross). More twists and turns thinking one team has won the game with too little time for the other to make a comeback and then it happened , , , , again and again with each possession having less time. Just wow!

I was at the Pats-Jets Thursday Night game in Foxboro that inspired the last OT rule change in 2008. Patriots led by Matt Cassel overcame a 24-6 deficit to tie the Jets on a 50yd Hail Mary to Moss at the end of regulation. Only for the Favre-led Jets to win the toss and drive into FG range. Doug Brien hit a 48-yarder to win what was then pure "sudden death" overtime. Pats would miss the playoffs by one game, and at 11-5, had the best record ever to not make the postseason. Effective the next season (or maybe even the 2008 postseason) is when the current rule went into effect, with only a TD or safety possibly ending a game on the opening possession. I don't like college OT either. A football field is 100 yards last time I checked, not 25. I think OT should be a 15 minute period where teams go possession for possession until one team wins. The 2nd team to obtain possession would continue to have the opportunity to match or best the team who started with the ball, until game ends. I still like the possibility of a tie in regular season. A safety at any point would end the game. I don't think NFL will change its rule, at least for the regular season, because the league wants extra periods to be as quick as possible because of the TV schedule. |

Bills should have just tackled every receiver and taken the defensive holding penalty to have not allowed the Chiefs to advance the ball the 40 yards in ten seconds. This is pretty smart thinking. It actually happened at the end of the first half; holding on Buffalo when KC had a first down at its own 25, burned off 7 seconds (from 37 to 30). In this case, there would be 5 or 6 seconds left, field goal off the table. The only time this doesn't work is if the clock runs past zero and the Chiefs then get a free play....or the holding occurs with the ball in the air and therefore, it's pass interference and a spot foul. If this was college ball, the "tackling" can even occur with the ball in the air....worst case scenario first down on the 25 ends up being first down on the 40, still out of range. I bet Chesney and others have figured this out by now. Sort of like fouling the opponent when you're up 3 and they have the ball in the last 10 seconds. |

Or, if it falls at the 15 or 20 and is run back to the 40, then, yes, takes a few seconds but it's essentially on the same yard line as it ended up when Mahomes threw that pass to Kelce. KC had to get at least 35 yards in less than 13 seconds....that's something an NFL defense should be able to prevent. The only thing the Chiefs had going for them was they didn't have to waste any time getting out of bounds w/3 time outs left. |

An NFL head coach should get a bonus for every time out he has left in the last five minutes of the second half. Too many are frittered away by disorganization/foolish challenges and are gone when needed most.
