90sBills

When you’re using a scrum to get you inches for a first down you better make sure to get at least a yard so it leaves no doubt in the officials’ hands. Like how Philly does it. When it’s right on the like that or even a few inches over you’re just asking for trouble. I agree. The human element is a big factor in determining the games. My point was no matter how it shakes out one side of bettors will benefit and the other will cry foul.

This really is the bottom line. In 13 sec Allen came through time and again only to be let down. Last year and this year the offense had the ball with a chance to win with a TD or tie with a fg and couldn’t do either. The defense has to play better but so does the offense in those situations.

My opinion is that they want to have the human element as it has been since the game’s invention. Much like strike zones in baseball. The players have to feel out how the officials will be calling that particular day and adjust accordingly. And yes I do think superstars get calls, including Allen.

You should hold off on that donation. He was clowning everyone else and defending KC.

That’s it. Give in to that feeling. Why demand your team and its players to do better when you can just blame it on conspiracies. Why think the team and its players are not good enough. No. That’s too hard to do and too painful to bear. It’s much easier to think the system is rigged. Feels better to think this way too.

Bingo! No matter how you configure the defense a top offense like KC with Mahomes will still get their points. The onus will be on Allen and the offense to finish those potential winning drives the next time they’re in those situations. Learn to finish! Offense has to take it.

Why would that matter? That would be 25% guaranteed according to rigged conspiracies. Are you scoffing at a ‘guaranteed’ 25% return rate? I wish I could get that consistently in my investment portfolios.

Don’t sell us short. We can definitely make it a third time or even a fourth time.

Yeah you can do that. Or…hear me out here. This is going to sound crazy. If you believe without a doubt that the league is truly rigged for a certain outcome why not capitalize on that? Knowing the outcome in any sporting event is a gambler’s dream. Seems like a waste of opportunity for all the people that think the league is rigged.

Goodell doesn’t have to address anything. Why are assuming that mistake would hurt all bettors? There were millions of dollars bet on KC side. I’m sure they’re fine with it. If the reverse happened and Buffalo won there would be outcry going the other way. And, again, the people betting on Buffalo would be ecstatic with that outcome. The gambling angle is irrelevant because there are actions on both sides in every game. That’s what people always fail to realized when they bring up gambling as a factor.

I see them losing. They won’t be able to stop Philly’s run game and Philly’s DLine will definitely get to Mahomes. Screw the refs and rigged stuffs. I’m betting on Philly. They have revenge on their side.

Spreads are irrelevant with ML. Also the AFCCG line was 1.5. That would’ve been a great time. So would the Super Bowl.

This is the reason why I thought KC would be the Bills biggest challenge this playoffs, not Baltimore. It was crazy to read the amount of fans prediction of an easy win over them after we got past Baltimore. It was the same sentiment last year before the divisional game in OP. It’ll probably be the same next year if they meet again in the playoffs again. We fans never learn.

Are you sure 102 passer rating is number 1 all time in playoffs history?

I don’t think Allen ‘felt he did enough to win’. He’ll be thinking about that last series a lot in the offseason. 3min left with 3 TO and a chance to win the game to go to the Super Bowl. It’ll haunt him but he’ll be stronger for it next time. Everything we do seems to be ‘similar do KC’. It’s like we’re chasing them by copying them. No wonder we can’t ever beat them when it counts. They’re always a few steps ahead.

Philly’s tush push is alot more fluid and unstoppable. Part of the reason for that is Hurts being smaller than Allen and get lost in the scrum.

Hey good to see you posting again since the game. We’ve all been there. I’m an NFL fanatic so I do consume quite a bit from free agency all through to the superbowl. What has worked for me as I’ve gotten older is take the emotion out of it. Oh and betting on games help. Good luck!

No one is saying fit Worthy for his HoF jacket. People are just pissed watching him get catch after catch with a TD to send us home while the guy we took got 1 rather inconsequential catch while looking very slow and mediocre in the same game.

Absolutely! There’s no doubt it’s McD’s imprint on this defense. He’s not letting that go.

I hear you man. Every season there are always a couple of instances during games that cost us the #1 seed. It’s been 8 years of listening to McD’s message. It’s gotta be stale at this point. When McD decided to chase points early in this game I knew it would come back to bite. Really no reason to do that. As for the game the line stayed pretty consistent the whole week. To me that means there were bets on both sides to even things out. I lost my Bills bet straight up but I hit the teaser on Bills and over. KC this year has been profitable to bet against, especially teasers. They just don’t blow anybody out.

Absolutely makes no sense even if you think Vegas knows. The reason is there aren’t any teams you can’t bet on. Meaning if Vegas knows team A is being rigged to win then that’s a big advantage ONLY if the public dumps money on team B. If the public dumps money on team A then they’re holding losses. Why do you think line changes when there’s too much action on one side? That’s to minimize the risks the books are holding. If they know ahead of time then why not let losing bets ride and not alter lines? They’re perfectly taking the juice money. They couldn’t care less who wins.

You can make alot of money if you’re certain it’s rigged. The Holy Grail of sports wagering is knowing the outcome before it happens.

Yeah he had a few great AFCCG winning drives. Before there was Brady vs Manning there was Montana vs Elway. Elway’s legacy was tainted by those 3 Super Bowl losses in his prime. By the time he got those 2 rings later in his career he wasn’t the same guy anymore. That was a TD led team. This is just my opinion.

There have only been 3 QBs in my lifetime where the ball in their hands in the final minutes usually means a victory. They’re Montana, Brady, and now Mahomes. The bigger the moment the brighter they seem to shine. Makes sense that all of them have multiple Super Bowl trophies.

Oh definitely. If Kincaid caught that pass none of this would come up. It’s a literally a game of inches that shapes narratives. I thought he was feeling the pressure on the last drive as well. When he overthrew the 1st down pass, after the great run for the first 1st down, the camera caught his face and he looked stressed. Then the batted ball on 2nd. 3rd down was a great play called. Cooper was so close to breaking it. Then the 4th down. Given what we’ve seen from him I think he was under a lot of mental pressure on that down. Spags playcall got him and he was still able to get off a catchable ball. That says a lot about his talent. If he could slow things down in those situations next time it’d probably work out differently. Remember he tried that low positive stuff last season? Having the pressure of the whole city and fanbase to deliver cannot be an easy thing to deal with while trying to play your best game in the biggest moments. But that’s what it takes to break through and be considered the best of the best.
