Super Bowl LVI - The intricate incline to Inglewood (Part 1)

[backinatracksuit]

For the real Bills fans that must have hurt an awful lot, it’s an awful way to lose without even getting the offence on the field

[Batigol]

The Bills have a real Mayo feel about them, to my new eye to the sport

[Thomas_Brady]

It’s a ridiculous advantage. If Bills had won the toss they’d have won.

[Thomas_Brady]

There’s no sympathy is this game for any body.

Not sure where it’s available online but you could add the weekends events to this. If they ever made a Mayo one…

There’s an America’s game about it too.

America's Game Missing Rings 1990 Buffalo Bills

The Missing Rings series is better than a lot of the episodes on the winning teams. The episode of the 1998 Vikings is brilliant.

yeah I’m not sure I’d go that far.

According to the Stathead database, there have been a little over 160 overtime games under the current rules for winning in overtime (including the postseason). The team that got the ball first has won 52% of the time. The team that kicked off has won 42% of the time. The rest were ties, which happens in regular season games when no one scores during the now 10 minute overtime period.

In other words, there has been about a 10 percentage point advantage in getting the ball first in the current NFL overtime system. Since 2017, when the overtime period was shrunk to 10 minutes in the regular season, the advantage in regular season games has been about 14 percentage points (53% to 39%).

now the other part here:

The playoffs is such a time when the teams are usually fairly evenly matched. Although the sample size is just 10 games, the team that has gotten the ball first in overtime since 2011 has won nine times, a small sample size but a pretty big statistical departure

is an interesting take on how it goes at playoffs. Maybe is it that in playoffs the teams are better and most likely battered the fuck out of each other beforehand more so than in a regular season game.

The NFL isn't as fair as college football when it comes to overtime. Here's why

[Thomas_Brady]

I think the modern game is so geared towards offense it’s a huge advantage. I think they should deffo gave each team at least one possession

[Gman]

yeah but look at the flipside, you make a stop, now you only need to get in field goal range to win the game. The Bills had lots of chances last night to win that and didnt. It was in their control to finish out the game and they didnt do so. Yeah the one possession overtime TD is a hard one to take, but it is what it is. I’m not massively drawn on it either way.

It’s a bit like the darts really.

“They made one more play than we did. That’s what it came down to,” Allen said. “Obviously, it hurts, and you don’t like feeling like this, especially back-to-back years in the same place. We gotta find a way to be better next year and accomplish what we want to accomplish.”

‘If it was the other way around, we’d be celebrating, too’

Between Raiders-Chargers in Week 18 and that weekend just gone, it’s been one of the best NFL seasons ever with some of the most exciting games of all time

Bills vs. Chiefs Divisional Round Highlights | NFL 2021

ill watch it again, later in the week when ive had a chance to move through the grief stages.

but for the casual NFL viewer, here’s the games best bits.

TLDR: we didnt get to mahomes enough and we paid the patrick price

[Thomas_Brady]

Arrowhead is a cunt of a place. Bastards mocking my Lakota peoples with their chants. I hope the Bengals smash them

[johnnysachs]

The Rams would be a match up nightmare for the Chiefs. Kupp and Beckham would destroy that secondary. You would have to think Miller, Donald and Floyd would get to Mahomes in much the same way as the Bucs did last year. Ramsey would help curb Kelce as well. But they themselves will have it all to do against the 49ers who have the indian sign over them. If either team can get through the championship game unscathed I make them favourites to win the superbowl.

[carryharry]

All plausible but I think no one gets as near to the Chiefs as the Bills did. They’ve too many weapons on Offence.
