The Chiefs didn't lose on the OT coin flip or that penalty, they lost the game in the first half when they only had 32 yards of offense. That's an impossible number but the credit that Pats for eating the clock with long drives and getting to Mahomes in that first half. |

These are human beings, mostly very young men. Our expectations on them are way too high sometimes. As far as the hair thing, the NFL basically is saying you are free to have your long hair, but you are also subject to the potential dangers of having it - your choice.

Those rules is what keeps OT at an average of two drives. I understand that someone like Mahomes should get a chance to get the ball, but that’s the job of the defense during OT. |

I just read that someone was pointing a green laser at Tom Brady’s face during the game.

I read that too. The NFL is investigating. Not sure they'll find anything.

It didn’t happen at Gillette Stadium by a Pats fan to Mahomes...no biggie. |

That would have been brutal if it happened at Gillette against any opponent. I'm guessing it would have been front page ESPN news.

But I don't agree that the OT rules should bare the full blame for keeping Mahomes on the bench. Yes, we all agree that the coin toss is advantageous if you win it. But then, the coin toss winner has to score a TD for it to end. Look at it from the Patriots' point of view: They had to go 75 yards, at Arrowhead stadium, under the most intense of pressure to score that TD. To get there, they had to execute THREE third and long situations. There was no room for error. If they had missed the first two, they would have had to punt. KC then gets the ball. From there, KC only has to hit a field goal to win outright. So, Mahomes' job arguably would have been a lot easier than Brady's under the circumstances. As Mahomes had shown, he can get the team in FG position in less than 30 seconds. So, other than the Patriots' fine play, who's more at fault for KC not reaching the SB? The OT rules, or the KC defense who were flagged for a stupid penalty, then couldn't stop the Patriots from covering 75 yards, even with three third and long passing situations. Answer: The KC defense, without a doubt. And that's probably why their DC was fired. Sure, the NFL OT rules aren't perfect. But they aren't as one-sided as has been portrayed in this thread imo. The coin toss is an advantage for sure, but less so when you consider that, with one defensive stop forcing a punt, which shouldn't be beyond the capability of a championship caliber team like KC, the advantage decidedly flips over to the coin toss losers, since all they need to do is score a FG to end it. I would also say, compared to the travesty that happened in the NFC game, the AFC game was won by the team that played better on that day.

I tend to agree that it will be a close game to the wire, but I have no dog in the hunt, just hope it is well played, well officiated, and exciting. Like most big games, there usually is a "key play" at some point in the game that turns the tide. Let's see what happens Sunday!
