Your feelings on Bills/Chiefs.

I hope Mahomes gets blasted several more times and the KC Swifties go home with the L.
Hahaha Oh my god, I LOVE the choices!!!!
The only thing I saw that would of made me mad if I was a Bills fan was the catch at the 5 yard line. That ball was incomplete it clearly hit the ground. So many things wrong with what happened there, felt like a Nebraska gameday crew out there.
1. The call on the field was questionable
2. Chiefs ran a play after that play
3. The crew missed the challenge flag
4. They still reviewed the play even though the Chiefs ran the play
5. The ball clearly hit the ground, but they said play stands as called
6. There was also defensive holding called on that play
Definitely seemed rigged in KC's favor at that moment, but the holding call was legit from what I saw. Even though they got rewarded with the catch
I thought it was a catch...I think people auto assume that if any part of the ball touches the ground then it has to be ruled incomplete...and thats false. He had the ball and complete control of it. Wasn't even questionable to me.

Coach Rhule got blasted on this board by not challenging the spot during the Ohio state game, did the bills coach challenge the spot? You notice that the officials never measure to see if it’s a fist down or not? Do they do that to speed up the game?
I get the gripe with the spot...could have gone either way, I thought he may have got the first. But its one play, it was questionable. The Bills also got the ball again after, it wasn't the last time they touched the ball...the game was not decided on one play that could have gone either way...and they did look at it via replay.
Wait, so you are saying that Worthy had control of the ball when it hit the ground?
Amazing...
So much so I would have been pissed if they took it away and would have felt like they purposely screwed the Chiefs to try and prove they weren't giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm glad they didn't cave to the mob.
Wait, so you’re saying the trained professional referees saw it on the field and reviewed it in slow motion from multiple angles and either got it wrong or intentionally called it wrong?
More amazing…
They try to avoid measuring when it's not necessary - in this case since the LTG was on the yard line and the ball was spotted short of the yard line, no need to measure.
I was actually hoping they would overturn that Worthy catch late in the first half. There was a defensive holding penalty on the play that would have been enforced had they overturned the catch. That would have given the Chiefs first and 10 at the Buffalo 24 yard line with under 3 minutes to play in the half. My thought was the Chiefs may have been able to take most, if not all of the remaining time in the half to score - leaving Buffalo no time to respond. Instead, they used not quite a minute of game time, which gave the Bills plenty of time to respond. Which they did.
Maybe I should whine about the refs missing the OPI call on that TD

Yeah I thought the "catch" was an awful call because both players were still trying to get control of the ball when it touched the ground. But I also thought the Bills were stupid to challenge it, because the result was going to be penalty yardage and a first down anyway. Just one of several boneheaded moves Sean McDermott made yesterday.I was actually hoping they would overturn that Worthy catch late in the first half.

Should have been overturned, but I don't think that call really affected the outcome.
I'm surprised more is not being made of Buffalo's attempt to go for 2 after their late 2Q TD. Had they just kicked the PAT, then neither of the other two 2 point attempts would have been made. Both teams scored 4 TDs and 1 FG. Normally that would mean a 31-31 tie, with Buffalo getting the ball with 3 and a half minutes left to go in the game. Instead, Buffalo missed two attempts (-2 points) and KC succeeded on theirs (+1) for a 32-29 final.
That was a really stupid decision, and I would have said so even if Buffalo had converted. At that point in the game, you really can't concern yourself with being down 4 points versus 3 points. Many more points are going to be scored, so you can't be chasing points in the second quarter.
And the fact that Buffalo had no play in mind other than a lame tush-push - which they're not particularly good at - made it even dumber.

Their QB push had been extremely successful up until that point. Worked all year. To me it was a no brainer to go out and get the 2 pts freebie until KC proved that they could stop it with some success.
They ran the play 30 times successful out of 32 during the season. What world is that not successful?
I understand the decision; it is certainly defensible. I would not call it a 'no-brainer', though. If it were a no-brainer, they would have gone for two initially, instead of taking the PAT off the board following the Chief's penalty on the kick.
There was also a nugget in there from either Romo or Nance who said that in the pre-game meetings with the broadcast crew, the Chiefs coaches revealed that they knew Allen would always go left on QB sneaks....sure enough he did. He did on that try and on a rather notable sneak later in the game.
