Default Was Last Night's NFL Game the Best Ever?

IMO, It was.

Zero Turnovers ; only four total penalties.

25 Points Scored in the last 1:54!!


The Bills made a mistake by not doing a squib-kick with 13 seconds left, but who would have thought that 13 seconds would be enough time?


The NFL Overtime rule came into play again, just as it did against the Chiefs a few years ago. Both team were aware of the rules and the Bills' top-rated defense wasn't up to the job.


Bills' fans will complain that Josh Allen didn't get his chance in overtime...he was a spectator just as Mahomes was in that game a few years ago...the Chiefs lobbied to have the rule changed then, but they're not complaining now.


So, as Yogi said, 'The Odds Equal Out'.

One for the ages that is for sure. Has the beginnings of a beautiful rivalry between the two teams for some time to come.

While it was a great game, I don't think anything will top Super Bowl 51 (though I understand if you disagree, Raymond ).

25 points in 2 minutes to me, while of course very exciting, is not the sign of a well played FB game. I prefer defense to drives up and down the field with little to no resistance.

Chargers-Dolphins Playoff game 1982 is the best game I ever watched.

That was the game with one missed field goal at the end after another, and a fumble or two thrown in as well, yes?

I guess I should have said epic and entertaining, and I was only fourteen.

I’d go with Bills - Chiefs even though the good guys lost. I’m sure there are better options but my favorite last play of a game was the Minnesota Miracle with Diggs.

Forget all kickoffs. Place ball on the 25 and begin playing, perhaps with a virtual, random block in the back in back penalty, in which case begin play at the 15.

Forget all punts. Advance the ball 40 yards and change the possession.

Make all one point conversions after touchdowns automatic, 1 point that is.

Widen the goal posts about 15 yards and initiate a kick interference penalty against anyone other than the center, holder and kicker who touches or interferes with the flight of a field goal attempt.

Eliminate the OT coin flip and replace it by a single die roll be each team.
If the same number is rolled by both teams, the game is a tie. If not a tie, reroll the die and keep repeating. When one team wins six consecutive die rolls, they must then kick a fifty yard field goal to win the game. If they miss, the other team wins.

Go pack go.

With these rules Green Bay’s special team issues will be solved.

Easy game to remember for me. My birthday is 3-28. I lived 2 miles from Gillette Stadium for 10 years and never attended a game.

Is there one for cheering for the team that eliminated the team who eliminated the team that eliminated my team from the playoffs?

Wasn't there a game featuring the Vikings and someone else where five touchdowns were scored in the final three minutes or so in snowy conditions?
