Instant Hippo Mind-Go-Splodey

What the absolute fuck am I supposed to say about THAT??

I guess one could say we saw ONE guy break an all-time record.  Bills WR4 Gabriel Davis, first player in NFL history to catch 4 TD passes in a playoff game.  2 of those 4 came in the last 2:00 of Normal Time.  His team fucking LOST.

With 13 seconds to play when Buffalo KICKED OFF (and this was Reid’s best call of the game, not trying some wacky kick return play, taking the ball at the 25) – Mahomes completed TWO darts to get them not only within FG range, but under 50-yard FG range. 

I am a nitpicky fuckwit, and I can’t find one goddamned iota to criticize about the Buffalo Bills or the Kansas City Chiefs (ok, on this one night).  It was like watching God play chess against himself.  I can’t make any of the maths or the game theory/logic puzzles work.  But it happened.  KC 42, BUF 36.  And somehow Kansas City has to get re-motivated to play again in 7 days.

On a weekend when both Q-aaron and MRSA Dreamboat got knocked the fuck out…don’t their storylines seem Favre-nis small by comparison?  Without even having to be petty about it?

There has never, ever been a game like that.  It might as well have been its own sport.

I give Brokeback QB a lot of shit, but he kept his head and played as good a game as you will ever see, especially on the road in the playoffs.  He’ll be back, and we have him and Mahomes to watch fight over the next 10-15 years, barring injury.

And of course, THAT’S NOT ALL.  Joe Burrow is gonna play a key role in the AFC well past the 2020s (assuming we don’t blow up the planet first) as well.  We get to see him play next Sunday, too.  In the stadium that just hosted that PlaidBananasWhateverTheFuckThatWas.

The NFL has many flaws, but it is perfect.

I did not watch MRSA come all the way back to tie RRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! at 27.  I turned the TV off at 13-27 (with LA punting), so I was still alive for the nightcap.  Good Lord almighty, what a day.  But Cam Akers is no doubt saying many prayers of thanks to FITBAW JEEBUS for not letting him be the story of the day.  Big Gay (short) FG saves humanity, 30-27 to LA’s finest.

Fatthew/Janeane.  Burrow/Mahomes.  See y’all on Sunday.
