Closest I recall was the Patriots against us; but that was the last 3 minutes or so

If I were a Vikings fan I’d be utterly disgusted by this game

The hate for the team and city isn't blatant in the sense of outright saying it. But we are the only team with as much success as we have had recently to constantly receive a perpetual status of being usurped by our divisional opponents regardless of our dominance. There are certainly media fans of the city and its fans but many of the old crones with votes seem to scoff at any Buffalo player in regards to awards. Lamar has a claim this year but for the very same reason Josh did last year. It has more to do with media coverage and how many African American pundits became jingoistic about "Lamar for MVP" as soon as he even had a couple good games and seemed to actively target Allen with slander and libel

There’s three reasons Josh isn’t getting MVP votes more than likely. 1. Much of the media hate the Bills and Buffalo as a whole. Add to that many dislike Allen for actually making many of them look dumb and you have an easy anti-Allen group of voters. We have a handful of Buffalo backing or at least respecting reporters and many who wish we’d move. Meanwhile Allen winning any award would create a concrete example of their complete misjudgment of Allen at the draft. 2. Moving goalposts - although Allen has fulfilled everything Jackson did last year and then some while having a great record too. Now they wish to go purely statistics based and ignore the record and the like. Allen having a great statistical year and solid record against a hard schedule last year was ignored but will be fully used to promote Lamar’s year. 3. Lastly, as much as I hate to say it, racism does play a part as well. There is a block of voters in the group that are going to vote based on skin color alone. We know that based on the many talking head shows. The number of African American pundits that have actively campaigned for Lamar and/or degraded Allen over the past month or so is very apparent. When you hear them referring to Lamar and Barkley as a “brother” or other similar slang you can see a particular bias exposed. RGIII while not a voter likely isn’t the lone pundit that seems personally invested in Lamar beating Allen even if it means being hypocritical to last season’s vote. Hell, some of those talking heads complained he didn’t get a sweep of 1st place votes last year. Rarely do their arguments involve anything but claiming Lamar’s greatness and demean Allen’s performance while attacking other analysts liking Allen. Or you see those like Acho who have downplayed it to Allen will win purely due to voter fatigue. Frankly I only started to notice this point after Allen started getting seen as the favorite for MVP; suddenly a dozen or so African American analysts suddenly became defensive against Allen winning the MVP after seemingly being fine with it until after the Chiefs game. At first is was mainly Barkley talk but once Lamar had a couple good games it shifted more to him.

Steelers, but only because of a combination between historical meetings of the two and Lamar’s lackluster playoff performances. It’s either going to be a Ravens blowout or a Steelers sneak a win by a field goal type of game. As for the Bills game, I expect a nigh even 1st half and the Bills to stomp them in the 2nd with the help of turnovers.

To add to my point, after he made that catch along the sidelines that was ruled out; it seemed like he stopped putting any significant physical effort into catches instead merely running the route putting his hands up and saying a catch is good but no injury is the bigger deal.

My guess is they told Coleman not to jump or do anything that could aggravate his wrist. He didn’t really jump from what I saw and he looked disinterested from hand fighting back to the ball both of which is very unusual for him.

Bills playing 4D chess by creating a QB controversy

One DB fought him to the back of the endzone while Keon did try to work back. Somehow no DPI. At the same time I think the weather played a small part in killing the distance a degree akin to how the kickers were struggling to get distance.

At this point we may need the Bills to hire a Brown or Steeler to wear metal cleats and try and spike Mahomes; granted I honestly believe at this point Mahomes could be sniped and would regenerate his wound like a ***** Terminator. So even that probably wouldn't work.

The league is just fixed; there's no other answer honestly. This whole season the Chiefs have danced on a cliff with cracks forming and yet have never fallen off. Every bounce, every call, every absurd event always falls into their lap.

Apparently Allen said that the sneak was Brady’s call not his.

Frankly I think Allen may have audible into the sneak but wasn’t expecting a timeout. After it was short he seemed to be trying to get up fast to get off another sneak but we call the TO. As such now Allen feels bad because he couldn’t sneak it the 1st time even though he put up 6 freaking TDs

I don’t expect him to be a starter barring injuries. He’s here to be an insurance policy that can be a great locker room guy and asset for the team off the field. I see him as the break glass in the emergency situation role. Come playoff time if we lose a safety, we aren’t left with either a rookie, or a practice squad lifer for an important game. We’ll have a guy who’s best days are past him but in a pinch still knows this defense inside and out while bringing his all. Plus he’ll probably get some snaps in one of the Patriots games as long as we stay healthy just to give him a home game to play in and get up to game speed.

1. Why is a Chiefs fan here anyway? 2. There were 11 seconds left when they stopped the clock/15 seconds when the ball was snapped. Even with a 10 second runoff; which is unlikely due to the previous play having a stopped clock

I've watched it a few more times and I have come to a conclusion. The proper call was made in regards to the penalty however the play should of been nullified or called a false start anyway due to what happens at the top of the view. The line judge watches the snap and immediately throws his flag and is already a yard or two on the field while waiving his arms before the Chiefs recover. That would signify an intention to whistle and call the play dead. Even though the ref is technically wrong; he has actively affected the play thus making the play null. In that circumstance the refs should have called the play dead on whistle intent and called either penalty with the Raiders retaining possession. We see fumbles called back all the time due to whistles being early or a ref intending to whistle but being unable for some reason. Lastly this entire sequence gives the NFL a black eye and calls into question their legitimacy as a proper sporting competition.

Quite honestly if they continues through to them getting a 3rd Super Bowl I’ll likely just stop watching because it will be blatantly clear the league is rigged

The play should have been blown dead regardless. If the refs don’t want to affect the game; then give Vegas a 5 yard penalty and replay 3rd down with 15 seconds left. If the Raiders fail, the Chiefs are lucky they keep playing bad teams. In this case it’s a purely a win handed to them by refs.

That’s plain horse hockey. Being good fundamentally doesn’t award them drive saving calls or inexplicable oddities that make the opposing team to lose. Blocking a field goal is an aggravating but skilled play. Somehow getting the Raiders to false start snap to an unprepared QB and then get the refs to go in your favor with the call isn’t anything to do with KC being talented or clutch, that’s pure luck.

sorry but nothing they did in this game equates to “finding a way to win” This was akin to a movie where the hero just so happens to have an abandoned truck next to him with a loaded gun in it when the villain tries to escape with a small motor boat near the truck and the hero with no military training snipes the villain in one shot while he motors away at a distance. The refs decidedly gave KC the game. If they call the proper penalty of a false start, it’s a dead ball and remains Raiders ball. By claiming a illegal motion they can claim it’s a live ball foul while also ignoring the whistles that came in prior to the ball even being recovered.

Some are fine, some…. Far from it. You can preach about how KC suddenly woke up in the playoffs all you want but you can’t do that year after year and expect to win. You can’t assume it will happen again and that all other teams will seemingly get crippled by injuries before you play them in the playoffs while you stay mostly healthy. Kelce is a future hall of famer but any TE with a pulse could have been effective against Klein with Mahomes under center. With Milano and Bernard playing, the game isn’t an easy cakewalk or anything, but we would be far more likely to see the Bills on the winning side. We were quite literally playing a guy we pulled off a beach hammock and a banged up Tyrel Dodson and had to try and scheme a way to keep Kelce + from destroying us entirely. Add to that we had our 2CB out and our 1CB playing on one leg as well as a banged up legends safety corp. Last year reminded me of 05-06 with the Sabres. We didn’t lose due to our play as much as our defense was decimated to a point where it made a game/series we should have had a slight advantage in, a loss. And that’s not to take anything away from the Chiefs or Hurricanes own injuries but in both cases our teams were hit with injuries specifically to one spot and then drilled into further by more injuries to the spot. The Sabres that year were using their 11th defenseman on the depth chart and possibly their 12th. The Bills had their 3rd and 6th LBs out there.

Obviously it was a tribute to Coach McDermott

This is the reverse of the 13 second game offensive highlight reel

Does either team want to win?

Bloody hell Chargers
