Agreed, this has been one of the better playoff weekends ever. I mean three games decided on the last play.

Of course, it helps that all three games have turned out just the way I liked them too. But I would never have bet the games this way.

A fair bit of ugly but extremely competitive football.

True. But that makes for exciting football. The ups and downs are crazy. I mean TB fumbles, the a snap over the head. It’s nuts.

And now, 4th and 2 at the 50 for Allen to get ten. Then 4th and goal, so th Bills can get a TD on the first drive.

I think you’re mistakenly believing that GMs and Team Presidents aren’t slaves to recency bias. Not a bunch of circumspect dudes calling the shots out there.

Looks like Bills-Chiefs is the real Super Bowl this year. Shame they had to meet in the divisional round.
