Success

In the post-SB coverage & on the ol' internets, it seems like the one everyone is most upset by is the push off from Kittle, saying it had no impact and isn't usually called. I don't get it. That was as clear as push offs get - full extension of the elbow, and clearly slowing the defender down to create separation that wouldn't have existed otherwise. That has to be called at that juncture of the game.

The AFCE all has it tough - we just have to win more games than the rest of our division. 9-7 might win the division next year. We'll need some bounces. I see a lot of close games, and like this year, we have to figure out how to prevail in the end. I think it will actually come down to either the Bills or Jets - Pats are gonna be in a rebuild.

I thought the officiating was good - slightly in KC's favor, but none of the calls were egregious. That helmet-to-helmet was incidental - the defender didn't lower his helmet. It was good technique. The push against Kittle was a classic arm-extension push off, and created separation. I don't even know why that's controversial - that was a good & necessary call. It was not ticky tacky, as many are saying. And I even see some fans complaining about the DPI in the endzone, when the defender didn't even turn around, saying the ball "wasn't catchable." It absolutely was if the guy wasn't all over the receiver.

Our D would have kept it close though. We’re not that far..

He has always been great. I hate how merciless sports is - it's the same as when we lost 4. Andy got an inch away from greatness multiple times, but had a shaky reputation because he couldn't close the deal - worse than if he had never gotten that far in the 1st place. To win a championship, you need a few bounces, too.

Salty Pats fans on twitter are already pulling out the Yankees-esque "call me when you win 4 more" to KC fans...

Some good lessons in that one. Shanahan sits on the ball at the end of the 1st half, hopes to win a close one. Reid goes for it on 4th down twice, goes for the win, and gets it. One coach was clearly better.

D let them down more when it counted..

Reid earned it. He made some gutsy calls. That was a well coached game..

He really didn’t have a bad game. Long stretches where he looked great. Their D lost it

Honestly, he’s almost mvp. Not quite, but close

Congrats, Andy Reid

Jimmy flashing the smile. Looks cool

Well, someone’s legend starts tonight. Your turn, Jimmy. What ya got?

That’s TD

Best ad of the game. Actually, the only good one..

Cool - it’s a game again

How did that happen?!!!

It’s not that clear - but probably not a catch.

We’re really not that far off. These teams aren’t head and shoulders above or anything...

That looked Offside

I mean, if Allen was this off.

Pm ran right into that rush

He’s been really good. I was definitely wrong. I wonder how Mahomes will respond here...

Well, at least the “could have picked Mahomes” thing has quieted down..
