The worst take from the game :facepalm:

Kept them in the game throughout. Play calling and kicker lost the game on the final drive. Defense had a shocker bar the endzone turnover which was a great hustle/desperation play.
he missed wide open Diggs on last drive, pure and simple, he was bailed on the fumble, less than 200 yds passing, we all know who would take blame if we lost that way....

That fan they showed that pretty much had a meltdown at the end. I felt that. Sometimes, the script be looking too good, everything setup perfectly, and when you still lose, it's just like what do you do!

KC was vunerable this year, and somehow.. Buffalo let em' off the hook.

NFC Championship.

The team that beat the snot out of Dallas

versus

the team that lost to Dallas because the coach was too stubborn to take the game into overtime.

It will be interesting to see what Dan Campbell will do IF the Lions can keep it close and create a similar overtime situation, lol.

Incredible. Mahomes just knows how to do it with no names, makes everyone on the team better.
That's what it's all about. Elevating your teammates. Mahomes, Magic, Bird, Brady, Montana, Staubach, Aikman. Made their teammates better. Cowboys don't have anyone currently who can do the same.

Well, Buffalo could have had Mahomes but the Bills traded that draft pick, if I remember correctly.

This should haunt their fans for a long time, even more than the Cowboys passing on Randy Moss.

You can also say KC should have sealed it earlier…fumble through back of EZ. Failure to land on fumble. Buffalo had their gifts and still made some bad plays

Playcalling? Mahomes had Diggs wide open underneath, ignored him. 2nd read was a guy very open in the endzone. Terrible pass. The 3rd down play later, had a guy underneath that could have gotten very close to the 1st down and might have went for it on 4th. Nope. Ignored that and basically threw it away. Josh Allen just has no idea to beat KC in the playoffs.
Strong chance he didn't see Diggs underneath as he was looking ok another read at that time and it looked like he was hit from his left as he threw that ball into the endzone. 3rd down he could have thrown it but it wouldn't have got a 1st down - it's a split second decision he decided to hold onto the ball anticipating another receiver would get open to make the first down - he can be criticised for that but ultimately he made the split second decision.

Focus on the routes the receivers ran on all those downs.

Allen previously put up around 35-40 points on the Chiefs in the play offs and left them with what 10 seconds and they gave up a field goal then lost in OT when he didn't have a chance to touch the ball. I don't understand your random hatred towards Allen but to claim he doesn't know how to beat KC in the play offs would be lacking in intelligence given the above and that he isn't playing on the defense.

Just showed my 11 yr old son that video and what “wide right” is known for
Scott Norwood’s “wide right” may have flashed through the head of the Bill’s kicker as he was lining it up. His was just a chip shot.

Allen kept the Bills in the game. I don't think he saw Diggs on the last drive as he was progressing through another reads. He's constantly running with the ball and executed some huge plays for the Bills throughout - but it comes with the risk of having a fumble. The Bills recovered so no harm done. Difference in this game was the Bills D was horrible but because Allen and the offense did their part by consistently scoring with long drives it didn't expose them as much. You know who should take note rather than filling his boots against guys off the street to pad his stats 30 points behind!
