OT: NFL 2023/24 Playoff Games Thread

Really torn over this game, as I love Pacheco and want to see him advance with the Chiefs, but I have a real soft spot for the Bills, given how great their fans are and how much heartache they've seen in Super Bowls. Even moreso with the Lions. Would love to see a Lions-Bills Super Bowl so that at lost one long downtrodden city will get some redemption.
im anti Taylor so go Bills
 
It improves the chances of winning and you're seeing more and more coaches do it...I'd guess it will continue to become more common as we move forward.

If you're going to go for 2, it makes much more sense to do it after the first TD. You miss after the first one, and you've still got the chance to go for it again after the 2nd to tie it up. You miss after the 2nd one, and you're screwed.
its a playoff game, if you want to go for 2, why not decide on that last td if you want ot or to win it there

They want two chances at going for two. The odds are you’ll make one of two. Make the first one then you kick the second one to win. Im not advocating this and don’t really like it, but many coaches are going this route the last few years .

The analytics are simple on the face of it. If a team's conversion rate is 50% or better (actually about 48% or better), that team should always go for two, as that will lead to more points over time (and therefore wins) than by going for 1, especially given the ~94% success rate for XPs since they moved it back (of course those are avg stats and some teams have been 100% on XPs). But coaches take a long time to change behaviors and are much more averse to taking chances that are generally considered too risky, but I expect that will change over time, like it has, to some extent, for going for it on 4th down.

Anyone keeping track of the Taylor Swift shots? I saw her twice.

Speaking of Taylor Swift shots, maybe they should do a don't drink and drive public service spot aimed at those who might be matching shot for shot
 
Somebody bumped Kelche when he was sending hearts to Taylor, then the camera showed her. Count = 3.
 
Love listening to Romo diagnosing plays - that gaffe by the Bills zone was just terrible on the Kelce TD. And what makes it worse is having to watch more footage of TS, lol.

Yeah, that’s great. Still rather not chase the point early. #overthinking 😂
 
I'm rooting for the Bills to end the Swift/Kelce shit show.
My daughter’s basketball team was all asking for score updates after their game ended earlier. She’s clearly onboarding some more fans but I can’t imagine a Super Bowl with this going on.
 
She’s a huge celebrity not sure why it bothers people So much. No different than showing spike Lee during Knicks games
I hope KC gets in the SB because of (a) Pop, and (b) my childish delight in watching people’s heads exploded over silly stuff like Swift‘s impact on coverage of games. 😀

I like both teams but like Buff a little more - being the only team than actually lives/plays in NY
 
Huge call here - looked like the ball might've started moving before he was down, but the call on the field was he was down, so need convincing evidence...

Taylor just texted me that she could she it clearly. KC’s ball at the half yard line.
