Yeah, I mean, the coverage on Kelce for the last play was actually pretty good. It was just a great pass and a great catch.
As for the 13 seconds, it should've been less than that, but Buffalo kicked to the end zone for some inexplicable reason.

I don't know why they didn't kick it off short or squib and hope to run some of that time off.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

One of the best football weekends I’ve ever seen. And they saved the best for last. KC-Buffalo definitely lived up to the hype.
With Mahomes it’s “pick your poison” — they probably figured it was best to try and make him go the length of the field. If they squibbed it wrong, the returner might have advanced it immediately into FG range.

I was surprised on that. You have to find ways to eat up clock and not have the fear of them returning the kickoff for a big gain. Even if they return it to midfield they burn up precious seconds running it.
The other mistake the Bills made was not going into press coverage at the "13 second drive". Just knocking them off their route a little burns up more time. They also played their safeties too deep, not allowing them to help in intermediate routes. KC was not going to run a deep route as it would burn up too much time to gamble.
San Francisco has always been my favorite booing city. I don't mean the people boo louder or longer, but there is a very special intimacy. Music, that's what it is to me. One time in Kezar Stadium they gave me a standing boo.

Mahomes, Kelce, Hill and their supporting cast might be my favorite players to watch ... ever.
Bienemy almost blew it with the wildcat call. That was bad because they've been doing that and Buffalo was going to be ready. I just can never see taking ball away from the best player in the league. If a play blows up there is still a good chance Mahomes makes a play.
Also - Fuck the Packers.

Andy's line was classic. You can't help but like that guy.

KC and Nagy run virtually the same offense; it just works a lot better when you have Mahommes, Kelce, Hill, and a good line. Essentially every run is a trick play instead of lining up and blowing the other team off the ball.... I freaking hate it.

Bills / Chiefs was probably the most insane playoff game I have ever seen ... it was like 2 heavyweight fighters throwing bombs that would destroy any other opponent but instead only came back at them ... amazing QB play ... both defenses had issues but I think that had more to do with the opposing offense rather than outright failure ... great game
that was awesome ... and Mahomes followed those instructions to a TArkansasbear wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 9:27 am “When it’s grim, be the grim reaper.” Andy Reid to Mahomes as he took the field with 13 seconds to go!!!!

I've watched thousands of football games, and can't think of a better one. Both quarterbacks were brilliant and both teams played at a high level (0 turnovers, 4 penalties).
I'm starting to think Josh Allen is Manning to Mahomes' Brady.

I was saying to some friends last night, it was absolutely in my top 5 games I've ever watched. Outside of my bears bias, it was maybe the most exciting playoff game I've ever seen (possibly second to the Patriots coming back to beat the Falcons). All the games this weekend were very good, this one was remarkable

All around incredible weekend of football and somehow the marquee game outshone all the others.
