2021/22 Playoffs

Mandatory 2 PAT for both teams then. That would more often than not resolve things if both teams score a TD. There are plenty of ways to do it, as long as both teams get the ball at least once I'm happy.

I'd prefer some right-of-reply as well. Feels right. Doesn't solve the problem though.

If you just copped the draw, and top seed goes through, does that change anything in the way the game is played?

Buffalo would have went for 2 on that last TD in that situation.

Don't think that is the answer though in a division/conference system where the schedules are not even across the conference let alone between the conferences in the case of the SB

I’m not a professional nfl kicker who practises this all year long lol

There was 13 seconds left, shoot out or not, 13 seconds, and there was clear, easy and obvious avenues to relatively safely wipe off half if not more of that!

It was a botched coaching job, absolutely wild that you cant see it or refuse to accept that

up 3 with 13 seconds left and kicking off, they should not have lost that football game. Simple as that.

And also congrats on not squib kicking because you were scared of a return, how’d that pan out?
The bills decided they were more scared of Byron effing Pringle on a return than they were of Pat Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce
And they might have cost themselves a ring in doing so

Professional kickers also miss point after's lol I am not a professional kicker either but nail them quite routinely.

Shoulda coulda, you squib gets a bad bounce and goes the distance.

Think you should look up the Music City Miracle oneday. Anything can also happen on a squib. There is absolutely no guarentee it makes the situation any worse.

Mahomes was on fire, he would've found a way I have no doubt. Both defenses were burnt out and you could've blown them over by that point.

The path was open for a Superbowl victory with Packers going down

this statement is a little strange. when haven't the packers gone down in the playoffs when heavy favourites?

rodgers may be one of the worst playoff qbs ever.

and in all of this no one mentions the kicker with all the pressure on him nailing it from 50 yards.

Reminds me of the Flutie Hail Mary, everyone talks about the throw not the amazing catch by the reciever

I am sure there is a ready made excuse for it.

Good QB's lead, I have really never seen Rodgers as a leader. Hell, even Farve was far more inspirational then Rodgers.

a good qb distributes the ball.

rodgers would rather throw an incompletion to adams than give another wr a chance.

Kelce's catch is another good example. It was no gimme.

For playoffs rewarding the season rather than an OT play seems a legitimate way to go on this circumstance.

Not for SB. I'd prefer to go old-school NSWRL with full OT and a full replay the next week if that does not sort it out.

Yeah. Packers just seemed to be rolling. Cold weather in Lambeau not doing them any favours either with their receivers struggling as well.

But yeah, as time goes on Rodgers does look more a flat track bully who is great a beating up on Detroit and Chicago, but can't make that big play in the playoffs. We saw Mahomes and Allen do jaw dropping things to try and get their teams over the line. Rodgers, not so much. Took a big sack on the play before the blocked punt.

Special teams one of those things that gets overlooked and its cost them in the past and this year That field goal should have been kicked at H/T. Cold weather tightens the match. At the same time the Packers defense could have taken probably 3, maybe 4 of Jimmy G's passes back the other way.


A Rams Packers NFC championship game, would have been no slam dunk for the Packers had the made with Rams pass rush the way it is.

Something can ALWAYS go wrong. There is no guarantee on anything in sport.

If you make decisions out of the fear of something going wrong you're not giving yourself the best opportunity to win. You have to have faith in your players to execute. The odds of a squib kick going wrong and it turning into a return touchdown are EXTREMELY low. Certainly lower than Mahomes and Tyreek and Kelce creating magic.
If the decision was made because of that fear they deserved to lose for being cowards.

Mahomes was on fire. And your coach decided his best chance of winning was to give that guy the football over taking his chances on a squib kick return for a TD from Bryon bloody Pringle.

But again, congrats to the Bills no squib kick, so they didnt get some miracle return that the football world would remember forever. Instead they put he ball in Mahomes hand and he delivered a 13 second drive that the football world will remember forever. Job well done.

You can rationalise this all you like, it was by any measure a horrendous coaching decision and given Daboll is heading off to a new job, Leslie Fraiser might be in line for a job, the FO is taking a hit with one of their top guys taking a new GM job... the brain drain is already happening, This was set up for the Bills to slay the dragon and go and win the SB. And they blew it, because apparently they were scared of a Pringle return over Mahomes arm. Unconscionable shit.

 

[nick87]

Oh and fyi, i would bet my entire damn mortgage that had the Bills squib kicked, the Chiefs would not have even bothered to try and return it. They would have jumped on the ball, given themselves up and preserved every last second they could understanding their best chance was the ball being in Patrick Mahomes hands

If they were even remotely interested in advancing the football on a return, Tyreek Hill would have been on the field
He wasnt. The Bills blew it.

yep.

cowherd said it best. when the going gets tough rodgers is a bailer, not a baller.

he used to be a baller. that playoff game against the cards where warner was just too good but had to throw 5 tds to get there.

then they won the superbowl the next season by him balling out.

then something happened after that. i think he became so obsessed with his low interception rate that he stopped taking chances. whatever it was he just couldn't win many playoff games despite being heavy favourites to win.

seriously, only 10 points against the whiners? don't understand why the packers don't just trade him away and start again. they will never win another superbowl as long as he is the qb.

Cowherd has never said it best in his entire life

he's a blowhard but he nailed the essence of rodgers.

here's the true definition of a baller.

[Perth Red]

Amazing play off round! That Bills game was brilliant to watch~!

 

[Tom155]

Big Ben officially retires

 

[Eelectrica]

Chiefs looking unstoppable again.

Points or bust for the Bengals already.
I'll have to see how this ends later. A Rams Chiegs SB would be great though. Rams pass rush Vs Chiefs. Rams offense Vs Chiefs and what Spags can get out of his defence.
