    Buffalo wouldnt have scored... After everything that just happened, you complain about the OT rules, hahaha KC was clearly scripted to win.. My HS team could have stopped KC on that last drive... 13 seconds left and they let them get into FG range on just 2 plays...

     You need to get a life dude. Closest you've ever been to a football field was under the bleachers at your high school game checking out the skirts.

    Why not just play out the whole quarter in the playoffs for OT? I don’t mind the current rules in regular season, but ties are dumb. Should be 15 mins 

    Can a swindler change his spots?

    Winning the coin toss does not equal winning the OT. Plenty of teams win by getting a stop and kicking a FG Bills defense upposed to be best in the league then again they played nobody.

    Mahomes is just that guy like Brady was up until now he finds a way and he made some amazing throws this game

    Play a 10 minute overtime. In regular season games, call it a tie if the score is tied after 10 minutes. For postseason games, If the score is tied after 10 minutes, the game continues and the next score wins. The current format is a joke. For the record, I had no money on the Bills-Chiefs game, a playoff classic

    I agree - tough way to lose. Argument to the other side is both teams had 60 minutes to decide the outcome.

    I understand in the regular season as they want to minimize the number of minutes - playoffs could have a different format peace_5

    @oldwiseone

     Sure but that’s only saying “bills can’t blame anyone but themselves because they couldn’t get it done in 60,” but by the same reasoning the chiefs couldn’t get it done in 60, so why should they essentially be gifted the game by the OT format.
