The refs were 1/3 on facemasks. First one was ticky tack, they missed one on Buffalo, and the 3rd one they got right. The PI on the Bills TD was iffy but it didn't matter since the WR caught it anyways. The Bills also had a false start at the goaline that wasn't called. The 4th and 1 was very close. I don't think either spot was correct. The ball looked to be right at the yard marker on replay but almost impossible to conclude one way or the other.

Weren't 2 olinemen beyond the LoS in the last Buffalo TD? I really don't think this game was called to favor the Chiefs. They won it by being the most physical team in the trenches

I'm not sure about that one, but i agree that the game wasn't called for the chiefs. I think the most controversial was the 4th and 1 play, but it is impossible to tell the exact spot. Only way too solve that is to chip the ball. Buffalo was not having success with that QB play but continued to Tomlin it. Poor playcalling cost Buffalo more than anything. KC couldn't stop cook but he seemed to be off the field alot and in key situations. Allen played decent enough after the first series, but they seemed ultra conservative.

Yep, the idiot coaching staff of the Bills kept running the "other" RB on the field in damn near every 3rd or 4th and short, like he's not getting the damn ball, and if he does, he doesn't scare anyone. Classic coach needing to "outsmart" the defense, instead of just stick with the guy who has been running it down the other teams throat all game. I sometimes think being stupid is a pre requisite to be an OC in the NFL.

There was a 4th down play by KC where Patrick ran for the 1st down. The Bills lineman nearest him was held blatantly. No call.

Even the clowns in the booth mentioned it. It should have been 4th and 11, with a punt. Instead, KC took it down for a td.

Laugh all you want, Pat would have gotten the call. Is mocking others' opinions a way to mask yourself from that $50 welch?

Pat didn't get the call, because earlier in the 4th quarter on a 2nd and long, Mahomes got CRUSHED by Oliver as he released the ball. I was fully expecting Mahomes to be down and out, but he bounced back up and there was no flag on the play. In fact, there wasn't a single roughing the passer penalty called the entire game. Penalty wise, it was a pretty even and well called game. There were questionable spots and catch/no catch calls, but nothing suggesting that Mahomes was being protected.
 
The Bills Offensive play calling is what cost them that game. That whole tush push thing they try to do just isn't as good as Philly does it. Always on the edge of not making it. They should have ran Cook more.

That's because they try to take on the DL head on, Philly goes LOW, taking away the leverage all together. Then they have the TE and RB pushing Hurts. On plays like that, the lowest team wins, KC got lower than Buff and controlled the LOS.
 
Definitely not coaches or scheme. At some point players are responsible for not executing and it starts with the O line and the QB

Allen turtled in the beginning but KC couldn't catch the balls he threw to them. He played a good game then turtled again at the end.

And yes the first down call was BS but so was the effort. So Baltimore can spend the off-season knowing they flushed their season down the drain and Buffalo can do the same

What are we left with...Taylor Swift baby

Kelce is going to punch Andy Reid during SB and Barkley is going to steal Kelce girlfriend
 
You can Tell Mcdermott comes from the Tomlin coaching tree.
Cook was averaging almost 7 ypc and had 2 touchdowns, led the league in rushing TD's lets give it to our 3rd stringer with the season on the line.
Infuriating
Josh Allen is Peyton Manning 2.0. Best Reg season QB, chokes under pressure.
He needs to stop trying to be a hero and hand the Ball to Cook. They would have won if they gave the Ball to Cook.
Nope
Allen's ego or the idiot staff wanted the 4th and short highlight on ESPN.
If Allen was Hurts on that play they would be going to New Orleans.
They deserve to lose, refs aside, they earned that loss.

Allen didn't call the QB sneak, and Hurts wouldn't have made it either. Hurts isn't the reason that play works, it's how they block it.

I know he didn't call it. The eagles block it well, I would bet $$ if Allen squatted 600lbs like Jalen he would have gotten a few more inches that he needed.
The Bills gave that one away. Trying to get cute by going away from what was working best.
It was like a Mike Tomlin 2.0. 3rd string RB getting looks in the most crucial moments in the entire season.
I legitimately thought nobody else in the league could be that stupid when the Steelers kept forcing the ball to Patterson in big moments.
Until Sean Mcdermott took a page out of Tomlins playbook.
Let's take the Ball away from the RB 1 getting 6.5 ypc and give it to the RB3 who's getting 3.2 ypc in the biggest game of their lives.

I'd like to think that Cook must have been injured and that's why he wasn't on the field. There couldn't possibly be TWO HC that dumb in the NFL could there? But unfortunately, I'm not seeing anything online about him being injured. So...we'll see if Buffalo makes any type of changes this off season.

Or maybe the NFL is made for TV entertainment WWE style. I view KC as the new pats***.
