They should play a 15 min OT period in the playoffs. None of this first team to score bs

That’s actually not the rule. It used to be first score wins whether it was a FG or TD.

 

A few years ago it changed to a new format. If the team who gets the ball first scores a TD, the game is over. If they score a FG, the other team gets a possession.

 

In this case, because both teams were blistering hot offenses and both defenses were out of gas, whoever won the coin toss was probably going to win with a TD. Which is exactly how it played out.

 

Buffalo had their chance in regulation. Some soft defense allowed KC to gain 35 yards on 2 quick plays and then kick a long FG to send it to OT in just 13 seconds.

[Bird]

Wow, Superbowl won't have anything on this game.

Do feel bad for Josh Allen, what a playoff performance by this big kid.

Well, I had no dog in the fight and it was a great game. But the NFL OT rule really sucks!!!!!! Basically decided by a coin toss. Not fair at all to not give both teams a possession.

Agree

When Buffalo scored with 13 seconds left, I didn’t think they would lose. Really soft defense by the Bills at the end of regulation. Never been a fan of prevent defense.

 

Figured whoever won the coin toss would win the game in OT. Both defenses had to be exhausted.

Prevent defense prevents you from winning haha. I’ve seen it too many times

I understand the concept. Just keep everything in front of you. Well in this case, there was only 8 seconds left so KC had to call a quick passing play in order to save enough time for a FG attempt. Even if they would have just played their normal base cover or zone defense, there wouldn’t have been enough time left on the clock to try a FG. That one is on Leslie Frazier, the defensive coordinator.

The game would’ve been over at 13 seconds if the kicker had a kicked a returnable ball, forcing time off the clock.  If the kick returner didn’t take it to the house....

Yep, terrible play call right there. Make them return it and take 4-5 seconds off the clock.

You must be an SEC fan too ……….

That's a big negative Ghost Rider.  I'm not much of a college ball fan, but I'm beginning to warm up to it after watching a lot of bowl games this season.

I went to bed.

Missed a bit of a classic

Replay was in-Sane !

Last night's game between the Chief's and the Bill's was the best football game I have ever seen and I've been watching football games before Super Bowl #1.   It doesn't get any better than that...

I was just messing. You had to be on another thread to get it……..

Crappy way to end though, I’ve seen a lot of better games. I saw a better one yesterday in fact, bucs vs rams 

 

college has had better OT than NFL since they introduced it . They changed NFL OT in 2017 so the coin toss wouldn’t be the most critical part, but they forgot one part and last night the coin toss decided the game 

[Darren.]

Gotta say, last night's loss really hurts. Close to the loss to 

the NYG's in the first of 4 in a row SB losses. A friend told

me his former NFL buddy said the kick off instead of a squib

was probably the right/safest choice against a very dangerous

Chiefs. I think a pooch kick would have been good, but they

could have burned us with a run back.

 

Either way, incredible game, heartbreaker that the D couldn't

defend for the only 13 seconds they needed to to seal the W.

For a life-long Bill's fan, that hurts. I really thought we were

SB bound only to be gut-punched by our own inept D play.

The coin toss didn't decide the game.  There is a defensive side of the ball.  The defense can even score points, themselves!  And, I'd bet most people wouldn't be complaining if the Chiefs had lost the game.  Buffalo's coaching choked it away with them protecting the sidelines, which was stupid, because KC had time outs left.

The chiefs didn’t have to play defense…….

 

whoever won that coin toss was going to score touchdown, defense wasn’t being played by anyone at the end of that game 

 

most fans just wanted to see each quarterback get a chance to play in OT.

[roadwarrior]

The "Fun Factor" was a Perfect 10. Either team coulda/ shoulda won. Regardless of

the betting line, the next games are about even, we just have our favorites. Good luck

to your team.  I'm rooting for the Chiefs!

OK, then perhaps have the QB play nose tackle.

 Buffalo’s qb would probably be effective there !

So my prediction for the 2 superbowl contenders came up 13 seconds short, I'm still on the niner train as a SB participant. Although beating a team for a 3rd time won't be easy.

I think I heard someone say the niners have beaten the rams 6 times in a row

I meant 3rd time in the same season.

That is correct which includes week 18 in LA. Niners had to win that to make the playoffs. They trailed 17-0 and came back to win. There was an enormous amount of niner fans there for that game too. Half the stadium was wearing red.

That too!!

I'm not a huge 49ers fan but NorCal > SoCal so I'm hoping to see Shanahan push the winning streak over McVay to 7. Be nice to see the Bengals pull it off and have a circa 80's super bowl of the Bengals v 49ers. However, now that I've jinxed them both the Chiefs v Rams super bowl should be entertaining. ?

Go bengals!!!
