Just figured out what the Super Bowl logo conspiracy was really about. Everyone thought it was Ravens and 49ers colors, but it actually was Andy Reid covered in purple Gatorade.

Well, for the first time, we can say that the Josh-led Bills lost to the Super Bowl Champions. Previously, they lost to somebody who lost to somebody ... It's kinda like being second-best.
-
I'd say that the missed extra point was huge, but we all know that the Chiefs would have just scored the touchdown to win instead of kicking to tie.

Man, you gotta be good and lucky. Have to punt the ball away, but it lands on the back of a guy blocking on the receiving team, and then the return man decides to try and make something out of it, rather than making the smart play to just fall on it. Ugh ...

Given how obviously limited he was when he did punt, I inferred that his crucial role as the kick holder was what caused the coaching staff to roll the dice with him. Those three players - the long snapper, holder, and kicker - develop such a crucial chemistry during the season that I can see McDermott reasonably taking the gamble. Ironically, it was Bass who nonetheless failed to deliver on a critical kick.
Teams are limited to two callups from the practice squad per game in the playoffs, so bringing up Haack would have meant not elevating one of the guys that they did. Obviously, AJ Klein had to be there, given their injuries at linebacker, so it came down to Haack or Isabella. They chose the latter after evaluating Martin.

Even if he hits it , they lose. No way McDermott and scheme up a d to stop Andy Reid
I'm not convinced that they could have stopped him even if Josh hadn't been hit on the likely touchdown throw to Shakir. Too much time left, even with a 4-point lead (assuming Bass even made the extra point.)

The Bills have officially lost so many heartbreak games that we're starting to repeat ourselves. "Wide Right!" again ...
-
Regardless of who wins today (in AFC and NFC games), their next games will be Sunday, not Saturday. Seems the fairest way to do it. Yeah, other teams will have more time, but the further out you go, the less difference that makes.

I’m actually watching it on AHLTV. Weird.
It wasn't under "Live Games" on my app, but after seeing your post, I found it under "Live Games by Team" instead. Strange.
Of course, now it's not looking so good.

Amerks playing in the Outdoor Classic against the Charlotte Checkers tonight. Up 1 zip after one in a goal by Weisbach. Comrie stopped all 16 shots he faced.
Sadly, doesn't seem to be on AHLTV.
Amerks up 2-1 in the 2nd.

Did somebody remind Flacco that he is a 38-year-old has been?
(Note: I'm watching NFL.com's animation while I watch the Sabres game, so it may not have been his fault.)

Titans doing a good job against the Jaguars ... at least, they were until their punter dropped the snap and had to play running back. Should have been a two-score lead going into half.
-
Of four ways to get in, two are now gone. Only the Jacksonville game and our own left. Very good chance that tomorrow will be win for the #2 seed or lose to miss the playoffs (ok, ok, a tie would get the #6.)

Every time I see one of those lying down with your toe out of bounds to grab a kickoff that has landed in bounds and make it "out of bounds" plays, I think two things:
(1) The first person to do this was really smart
(2) The fact that you can still do that is really dumb

We also know the Miami D has some issues we can hopefully exploit.
Well, our first game showed that, too. Chubb carted out with a knee injury today.

I didn't watch the Cowboys game... but doesn't the referee announce who reported as eligible? Shouldn't the Lions have listened for who they reported as eligible and corrected the official?
I don't know if they would have had a chance to, but it does raise an interesting point. Brad Allen can be seen going to over to the defense presumably to tell them who is eligible, so if he only said 70 is eligible, then the Cowboys wouldn't have covered 68 as though he were eligible. So, that would taint the resulting conversion anyway.
-
Brad Allen with another fine ref moment. Good chance that the Cowboys would have gone down and won by 2 anyway, but we'll never know.
Side note: any else hate that the terms "ineligible" and "an eligible" are both used and sound exactly the same?

You expect Miami to finally win a game against an opponent that's above 0.500 for the 1st time since the heat stroke/Tua "ankle" injury game? Why?
Fair enough. Maybe they won't ... but maybe we go 1-1 ... then the winner of game 17 hosts a playoff game, while the loser (likely) misses the playoffs. 😲
-
On paper, I would expect the last game to be for the division. The Bills should win both of their games before that, and I would expect Miami to go 1-1 in theirs. That said, too much potential for any given Sunday or "Billsy" losses to mess that up.

"Obviously you don’t want to react that way, I mean, I care, man. I love it - I love this game, and I love my teammates. I want to go out there and put everything on the line to win, but obviously you can’t do that, can’t be that way towards officials or really anybody in life. So, I’ll probably regret acting like that. But more than anything, I regretted the way I acted towards Josh [Allen] after the game, because he had nothing to do with it. I was still hot and emotional, but you can’t do that. It’s not a great example for kids watching the game. I was more upset about that than me on the sidelines."
"It was a big play in the game. Obviously, it got negated because of a foul," Mahomes said. "I didn’t have a great explanation for it, obviously I’m not seeing the view from the sideline or anything like that. I didn’t even really know – I heard the call, from where I was you couldn’t really tell what really happened, and I was trying to get an explanation and didn’t really get one. Obviously, I’ve seen it now, and if he didn’t check and they weren’t good, it is a foul. It is something you rarely see called in the NFL. But it was a foul, it’s part of playing the game, man. You learn from it, it’s part of being a person, you learn from you mistakes and try to be better next time."
(Emphasis added by me.)

That Vic Fangio is a Supra-Genius. (Just like Wile E. Coyote.)
Indeed. That muffed punt was just awful. Really, all three of Miami's touchdowns were gifts. Their offense had 15 yards combined on the three. If Hill is bothered by that ankle for the rest of the season, they're in trouble.

The only thing that I would counter with is that the Chiefs weren't the best team, in general, this year. They struggled, too. In the playoffs, they managed to stay close enough that they could claw back in games, and their QB/Coach truly have the mindset of "we're never out of it." It's an amazing characteristic, reinforced by success. However, it's not 1/0 situation. It gives their chance of winning a boost compared to other teams of similar or even high capability, but the luck factor will always play some role. They play the same four games over-and-over (groundhogs day, but without the memory), and they would certainly win the Super Bowl most times, but far from every time. For example, that punt off the back 49ers player's leg doesn't happen every time. Jones doesn't interrupt Allen's throw every time, and sometimes the Bills hold on after that. Brady didn't win every year, and Reid/Mahomes lost the Bengals two years ago. They have a big edge, but nothing is perfect. I would give the Chiefs the best odds next year, but I'll always take the field versus any single team, even theirs. Now, as to our chances of being the ones to stop them? Let's see how the offseason unfolds.
