WOW!!

Amazing game. There are some damned good QBs playing now.
I’ve said it before, but after watching college QBs all season, NFL playoff QB play is jaw dropping. Even the losing teams most of the time.

I know the defenses were tired at the end, but you don’t get 25 total points in the last two minutes with “game manager” QBs. Since I didn’t have a team in the hunt, it sure was a lot of fun.

And Tyreek Hill. Holy cow he’s fast.

Both QB's were so impressive, you just can't have enough superlatives for either one of them.
No debate on this, the greatest NFL playoff game ever
 
Two awesome QBs. They each made the opposing D's look like rookies. KC had the better receiving corps. That makes Allen's performance seem even better to me.

And I hate the NFL's OT rules. On the flip of a coin, the game was almost handed to KC.
 
What is difficult to understand is why professional defensive backs, supposedly the best in the world, get beat deep in situations where the #1 rule is “don’t get beat deep, keep your cushion.” It happened all weekend. But it did create much excitement. ….. Another thing I don’t understand with defensive backs and specialty team coverage. They throw themselves down low at the ball carrier instead of grabbing a hold. Never seen so many missed tackles. And I’m not talking about Tyrek Hill which they can’t get close enough to to tackle. Maybe the new rules have made tackling technique worse. I’ve heard they don’t practice tackling - either too dangerous (there are ways around that) or the players don’t want to do it.

They have crippled NFL Defensive backs to the point where they can't sneeze on the wide receivers without a penalty being called. It has taken a lot of competitiveness away from the game. Defensive bask aren't allowed to be aggressive, that's why we are seeing these ridiculous passing numbers.

That is not what I saw last night, in fact I was surprised there weren't more holding calls. But, if your are getting beat deep on a consistent basis, then either you are 1) Out of position 2) Too Slow 3) You slipped. 4) You keep biting on the juke step (and you are not long for the league if that happens)

I heard commentary about the deep ball Josh Allen threw 60 yards. The DBs were in position that would normally prevent a deep ball with almost any other QB and Allen just threw it over both of them. Yes, the safety could have been a little deeper, but the point was these DBs know that in certain alignments, (almost) no QB will throw it there. Kind of shuts down that part of the pattern. But not with Josh Allen.
