Woof. Terrible third down call

Gotta score the TD here and kick the PAT. Just tie for now. But you can’t settle for 3.

I think I'd kick this tbh. I hate doing it, but it's a low percentage conversion from this distance. I'd hope I'd get the ball back with a chance to win the game or at worst, give 3 back. Coming away with 0 here, KC FG ends the game. 

[adambr2]

Got the 4th. Come on Bills.

[HarryDoyle]

KC with the six minute scoring drive to win the game. Bet me.

Low percentage from the 4 yard line? Maybe from the 10-15.

If KC drives far enough to kick a FG, they just went 70 yards from their own 4 and the game is over anyway. 

Leaving that drive with a 4 point deficit and still needing a TD isn’t helping you.

Better 6 minutes than 2. At least if the drive is 6 minutes long, it means Buffalo had chances to get off the field and couldn't. That's a lot easier to accept as a fan.

Bills need a fluky turnover to win this game

Am glad they didn't listen to me. But the point of the FG is that it potentially extends the game. With 6 minutes left that is plausible. You have a good shot to get the ball back again and if you just don't give up 7, you're still in it. Down 7, giving the ball to Mahomes is not a scenario I'd want to be in. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This is going kinda well for Buffalo, oddly. They go down quickly then get sacked and have long "and goal" situations. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That was the best possible outcome for Buffalo outside of 0 points.

[adambr2]

You can’t punt the ball again, I think that goes without saying. I don’t care that they have 3 timeouts. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

What is Romo talking about? What "decision" is there here?

Punt and hope they go 3 and out, I guess, which is not going to happen, you punt and it’s over.

No coach would punt here. Well besides MLF. 

[HarveysWBs]

So lame

[OldSchoolSnapper]

He had it in his hands. 

[adambr2]

Of course they teased us with the phantom “flag”.

Kincaid sucks. He should have caught that despite everything that went wrong on that play. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Lame and sucks but that was one hell of a blitz. Completely got the protection. 

[yourout]

Got outcoached.

[NeedMoreFans]

At some point, Buffalo should have called something different on those Allen sneaks.  They didn't work at all and it came back to bite them big time (even though it was a bogus call to say he was short).  

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Kincaid has to catch that, wow.  That looked much more pathetic on the replay. 

[adambr2]

The Bills are kind of the AFC Packers in that they will give you all kinds of good times in the regular season and then rip out your hearts every January.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Heart breaks for Buffalo. The Packers don't sting as much anymore as I always expect. But those poor fans have been through too much. 

[wOOgiE22]

Yuck. Don’t have much interest in this Super Bowl.

I'm not sure I could hang on being a fan after everything they went through with super Bowl losses and the like
