    We had over 300 yards offense in 19 minutes of ball control. We moved up and down the field.  We scored  19 points in 19 minutes of possession . We didn't have the ball enough on offense because our defense played poorly.

    Yes...and if Norwood's kick is good, it's a totally different narrative.

    I really don't see any reason why - in the playoffs - we don't simply play it NBA or soccer style and add on a normal 15 minute period. The chances of a tie after the additional period are low enough that it would probably resolve 80-90% of ties without anyone whining about "fairness." It can't be unfair because it's just a continuation of the same game with the same rules, not based on something random like which side a coin lands on. If it's tied after the additional period, well, that's when some other rule more arbitrary rule can come into play.

    This makes a lot of sense.  For those that argue that the defense needs to make a stop...both defenses yesterday were giving up points, particularly in the 4th qtr.  NE should have stopped KC from getting into field goal range with 39 seconds left to tie the game.  So it came down to a coin flip as to whose offense got to touch the ball first.  The same argument would apply if KC had won the toss and scored and NE didn't get to try to match it.  A coin flip decided the game.
