I won't watch that chit show. We're headed out that day to the coast to dig razor clams. One of my favorite activities without being able to shoot something. Besides, if I see TS one more time we might be shopping for a new TV, so it's best if we leave home.

Buffalo has actually outscored KC in playoff games, 169 to 140 total points.

Which part of the ball is the chip in? I think an NFL football is 11” from tip to tip. If Josh got the first down, it may have been by much less than that?




I’m not opposed at all to technology spotting the ball. But if you’re going to really get it right wouldn’t you also need chips in knees and elbows and anything else that touches the ground to coordinate with the chip(s) in the ball?


Anyway, to think that’s the only play that would’ve mattered in that game if perfect spots were attainable just isn’t the case. Just four plays before that one Josh leaped for a first down on a sneak and fumbled it. The ball was lost at the bottom of the pile and recovered by the Bills. It’s quite possible the ball could’ve moved back behind the line to gain before recovery and thus it would have been a change in possession, not a first down. You can’t prove that with any review and no one on the broadcast even mentioned it, but with a chip/precise spotting technology it very well may have showed that to be the case. Plus, it damn sure wasn’t recovered exactly on the Bills edge of the 50 yard line. But that’s where it got spotted and made the sneak a few plays later that much more controversial because everyone considered the very front edge of the 40 as the first down.




At the end of the day Josh had 3 timeouts and 3:33 to go win it. He couldn’t do it. Mahomes is 7/7 in such scenarios in his playoff career (going for a tie or lead change in late-game drives). That’s why he’s got a chance at a three-peat.

I checked that out. It is place in the center of the ball, end to end. So let say for example, the chip spots the ball two inches shy of the line of gain, it can be assumed the tip of the Ball is beyond the line of gain by three inches, based on the ball being eleven inches end to end. Now that is just one possible scenario. Now I know there are going to be all sorts of, but what if question. My answer is, the NFL is worth billions of $$$, they need to figure it out.

What's the margin of error of the chip?

0.000000009%. not exact, but kind of close.

Head to head? That’s not what I’m seeing. But I do recall a couple ass whippings I suffered through as a youngster during the Marty Schottenheimer years!

Right on. I guess my pea brain read it as a single chip hidden somewhere in the ball. If the entire ball is covered in sensors and they can impose a 3D picture of sorts then you’re getting somewhere. Agreed, they should go for it, but just like replay I see some scenarios it still won’t clear up everything.

I like watching spring football, those guys have something to prove. Aside from that, I got to see the chip spotting in action, it is vary accurate, and kind of interesting to see used. Another idea the NFL got from the UFL, is the line up for kick offs, that idea sucks. The NFL needs to go back to the way they did it for many, many years.

Missed a game or something, it’s 180 to 166 playoff points in favor of the Bills. Chiefs never beat the Bills in a playoff matchup until 2020.

No doubt the Chiefs with Andy Reid and crew have been phenomenal, but 3 of 4 Chiefs playoff wins over the Bills have been single scoring games. Every little thing in games like that matter.

Not that I really care because it was 20 years before I existed, but why not count the Chiefs 31-7 win on the way to Super Bowl I?



I get where you’re coming from, but the Chiefs beat everyone by one score. That’s consistently the most frustrating part of being a Chiefs fan. They have opportunities to blow games open all the time and routinely keep teams in games. It bit them in the ass in the ‘22 AFC title.


If Mahomes doesn’t turn the ball over for the first time in 8 games there’s a real chance the Chiefs score four TD’s on four drives before halftime. So by the same logic if a couple little things go the Chiefs way on the Bills final first half drive and the Chiefs initial second half drive, it very easily could’ve been a 31-10 type of game early in the third.
