I am not sure that she has any original parts left on her.

17 one score games in a row. A bigger record. Maybe never broken.

I think the 1 seed was vital this year.

What a game! Fuck yeah!

Absolutely.

You could see Allen struggling to call plays.

What is lost in the Chiefs hate was their brutal schedule.

What an awesome team win. Mahomes was obviously excellent. Both Hunt and Pacheco made great plays. Special teams was excellent on both returns and kicks. Worthy and Brown both excelled. JuJu hit two bombs. Ley defensive stops and plays. The last rush by Karlaftis, who is becoming my favorite defender in part for his relentless motor but mostly due to my Mom singing his praises his entire career. Best of all, both Reid and Spags dialed up the perfect calls to finish their parts of the game.

Have to say unbelievable throw by Allen on that last 4th down. Chiefs finally got a hard earned break that it wasn't caught. They were due.

That 4th down prayer was close to being caught. But the Bills had been on house money all night. The luck had to end

One sad fact: the Bills were a large contributor to Project 2025.

If that’s true, then I’d say they had it coming.

No question. Buffalo is a great team with a great QB. Their legacy is brutal.

100%. It has to have an effect with 80,000+ screaming like that. Can't imagine being out there on that field in that environment. It's chilling how historic those moments are for both teams.

These battles against Buffalo in the playoffs are epic. It.makes all of this even more special and memorable.

The Chiefs are now in control of reaching their goal. They will get the chance to do what no team has ever done in Super Bowl history. Dropping this game tonight would have been a huge gut punch. Buffalo can just rest up, have another solid offseason and take another shot at their first Super Bowl win again next season.

KC would have to win the 2026 and 2027 Super Bowls just to have another chance to even compete for a threepeat.

History is now there for the making and they are fully confident that when it comes times to make the big plays that they can do it. Because they have done it a lot before. Together. They don't have to wonder how they'll handle this stage.

Some teams achieve success and unravel. Guys have achieved their goal and turn their focus to other pursuits or to maximizing their financial capabilities by leaving the team. KC has responded by saying "I like this, let's do more of it" and turning the whole organization into a very well build winning machine.

It's the right group of front office professionals with the right players, coaches, owner and fanbase. All at the same time.

We'll probably go another 40 years when this confluence of stars breaks up over time and doesn't quite get put back together the same but this has been worth it.

There's ultimately always more guys and franchises that spend their time in Tier B, stuck behind teams that just seemed to keep themselves as Tier A. History only has a few Tier A guys like Brady, Rice, Aaron Donald, Belichick etc... and KC has 3-4 of them in Reid, Mahomes, Kelce and Chris Jones.

Allen has to eventually break through and win a Super Bowl, I fully expect it. Buffalo is fully committed as an organization to that goal and will keep trying to reach it. I also selfishly want Mahomes vs. Allen to be this era's Brady vs. Manning. Manning was ultra elite but he was Tier B to Brady's Tier A in their era. Nothing wrong being there.

Would you rather a guaranteed win in two weeks but then Andy and Kelce retire?

Or take your chances ( who knows who wins ) but with a guaranteed one more year from Kelce and three from Andy.

After the six quarter loss, it was 50 years in the wilderness. Great to have first world problems

The luck of fumbling four times and retaining possession every single time is insane. Pile on the 2 INTs missed on the opening Buffalo drive and it felt like the odds were going to come around eventually.
