OT: American footy thread

[hindy111]

2 x years ago I said this and the Bills just cant get there to Super Bowl day.

Chiefs have beaten them in 20,21,23,24 playoffs.

While the Bills have beaten them in 4 out of the 5 regular season games in this same period.

Cursed or unlucky to come up against the greatest QB of the generation.

If Bills were NFC I have no doubt they would have been in 2 or 3 super bowls by now.

Josh Allen's face said it all at the end though.

How much heartbreak can a team/squad take before it breaks them

They need the no 1 seed. It's almost impossible to win at arrowhead in a final.

Yeah very true but last year KC were 3rd seed and Chiefs beat the Bills in Buffalo in the Divisional.

Then backed it up in Baltimore for the conference game.

Ravens and Bills probably both missed there big opportunity there tbh

Bills vs Phili would of been a bit of a shoot out I reckon. Kansas vs Phili might be a little more defense orientated.
Hard to pick a winner but I reckon the Eagles might have a bit to good defense and points in them.

reid/mahones is going to be a nightmare

Many are claiming fixing by the referees
And NFL. For chiefs

People have been claiming that for a few years now.
With good reason, tbh.

Is it any different to Melbourne always seem to get the rub of the green though which we hate in the NRL.

I think there is an element of Pat Mahomes getting protected that other QBs might not get those roughing the passer calls.

At the end of the day the Chiefs have done a remarkable job to build a dynasty in a town that isn't seen as a destination place with not a lot of success before Mahomes arrived.

Kansas always looked like the better side to me. Always seemed a little more composed. Unsure how people think Bills got ripped off

Bills started poorly. Allen was like a deer in the headlights on his first series. Took a little while for them to get going.

KC's defence was again very good, and was probably the difference. A couple of the refs calls though turned the game.
Allen got that first down for sure, there are angles that show it. But no surprise it went the Chiefs' way, and then KC go down the other end and score. If Bills get that first down and score it's a completely different game.

Bills still had their chance though. Their last play on the 4th where Allen chucks it up to a wide open Kincaid who dropped it was a heartbreaker. The fact Allen was able to get the ball away and give his man a chance to catch it was amazing.

So, about 2 minutes into the Super Bowl then?

Chief's defence is outstanding

 

[blue bags]

I read that chief's rarely scores 30 or more
Points per Match for a few years now
Not a high scoreing team
It's their outstanding Defence that secures the wins. Chief's just grind it out. With rock Solid defence. With minimum errors. Mistakes

Kansas and Mahomes find a way to win. Always in control. Bills didn't deserve to pinch it.
Eagles could run away with this one.
