Mahomes vs. Allen: Chiefs-Bills Reaction | The Bill Simmons Podcast

[@infopocalypse5006]

It's the 13 second game. That is what it's already being called. I would like the Grim Reaper game after Reid's quote. This was an all timer performance by Mahomes. And he did it against the best defense in the nfl! He was a sorcerer. Some of those throws he made no one else makes.

[@lordsidious2066]

13 second game...idk if that will endure... not catchy and later on people will say what the game lasted 13 seconds...a game like that deserves a better name...

[@WhelmedButReady]

Personally, I'll just call it "Mahomes vs Allen Part 2". Seeing as these two are destined to do this for the next decade at least barring major injury or a sudden collapse of the rosters around them.

[@johnnybeatmaker330]

My favorite player and I'm not even a chief's fan. Dude is unreal

[@88wildcat]

You will just need to call it 13 seconds. No need to add game to it. Every football fan will know the reference. The irony of this game is Gabriel Davis had the game of his life. Guess what his uniform number is.

[@TYLERORTIZ2021]

25 point 2 minute warning

[@WhelmedButReady]

This may have not been the greatest NFL game ever(although I would put it Top 10), but this was without a doubt the greatest Divisional Round in NFL History. All 4 games decided on go-ahead plays, point differential was a mere 15pts, both #1 seeds were stunned, champs and the league's MVP went down at home and the greatest QB shootout of the century. Bravo to the NFL and everyone involved.

[@ericaubuchon2771]

You may say it’s not the greatest game ever played, but I argue it has the greatest 2 minutes of football in NFL history

Redemption from the other high quality game between Pats vs chiefs 2018 -2019

[@WhelmedButReady]

That Romo impression was excellent 😂

[@nickbarcheck1019]

It may not be the best game ever, but I'll remember watching it as long as I live.

[@cousinchris5851]

Same. Even my girlfriend was excited and she doesn't watch sports. Plus, we're from Cleveland

[@taylor6466]

13 seconds game is a good name, but I kind of like "The Shootout." The last 13 seconds felt more important because it was so back and forth the last several minutes of the game. 13 seconds only seems to give KC credit too

[@ryanmartin6878]

Totally get what you’re saying about the Blake Bell pitch play and I agree that you need the ball in Mahomes’ hands there. However, watching the Chiefs all season, I get what Andy’s strategy was there. As you mentioned, the Chiefs have refused to run a QB sneak (with Mahomes) ever since he was injured in that Denver game. All year, Blake Bell has been our solution to that problem so it’s not like he hasn’t taken a snap before. The Chiefs have probably run a sneak with Bell 3 or 4 times this year. So my guess is that Andy called that play assuming the Bills would recognize it as a sneak and focus a majority of their defense toward the middle. Andy tried to throw in a wrinkle and instead run an option play to the outside hoping the Bills had committed to stopping the sneak. Turned out to be the wrong play but I definitely get why they did it and I don’t believe it’s just a random play out of left field. There was definitely some 5D chess going on with Reid and McDermott

[@cousinchris5851]

What a game. Even my girlfriend was excited and she has no interest in sports. My heart goes out to Bills fans. They're great fans. I'm a die hard Browns fan btw

‘The 13 second showdown’

[@gregcsefko]

“13 Seconds” As a Buffalo fan that’s all I’ll need to remember this game…😢

[@cwp716]

OT rules - when a team scores a TD on the first drive, the other team gets a chance to score a TD but has to go for two. The game will be known as the 13 seconds game. This is all coming from a Buffalo fan. Go Bills!

[@JalenBrunson558]

not a bills fan but yes every team should get to respond on first possession touchdowns in ot. The offenses are too good in the league currently.

[@stpnwlf9]

For the record, Blake Bell was a college QB at Oklahoma and he has taken several snaps for the Chiefs, primarily on QB sneaks.

[@kittkatt3726]

Chiefs put Blake Bell under center a lot in those situations, they have all year, he was a college QB, now the option play blew my mind, he usually just sneaks right up the middle

[@GulfShoresVacationGuide]

Mahomes is like the result if Joe Montana and Brett Favre had a baby.

[@johnjones3121]

The craziest thing is, that was supposedly the number 1 defense.

[@VIIx22]

Eagles v Patriots II superbowl. Cmon Brady threw for like 400 and the last minute defensive stop. GG

Great tony romo! 🤣🤣🤣

[@gregorygray8899]

You don't watch football Bill, the bill's have been running QB powers for years...but yeah that game was an instant classic

[@jonbell8744]

Bills had a 4th and 1 at their own 34, when it was 17-14 Chiefs, they punted and Chiefs got a TD. It wasn't 23-21.

[@Snap-Count]

I disagree along with thousands of fans. This was the greatest playoff game ever.

[@dilanfreeman7635]

It's the 13 second game for sure

The best overtime system is shockingly simple: Just keep playing the game. No coin flip. No kickoff. Treat it just like the end of the 1st or 3rd quarter. Next score wins.

[@pml22]

The overtime rules should be changed. That said I love the podcast. Except for the playoffs I never watch the NFL or any of the NBA, yet I keep up because of the podcast.

[@stardestroyer44]

mahomes!!!!

[@jamarthompson1350]

I would say first to 8 points, team get the ball first has to score and go for 2, they don’t get it the other team gets the ball and if they score and get the 2 they win if they don’t the next team to score a field goal or td wins

[@mRakmYaer]

Home team gets ball (deserve it for better record) same rules

[@88wildcat]

If more than one defender intentionally holds or tackles a player without the ball after the two minute warning it is an unsportmanslike conduct penalty. Fifteen yards gets marked off and the clock is reset to whatever it was at the start of the play.

[@matt2270]

Excellent, never knew that.

[@Gravy8060]

Hey man i listen to this every week, I’m watching manning v Brady 2006, how does nobody talk about this game? Right now it’s 21-3 and nobody gives a shit! Llike all time come back vs the goat.

[@bigchief4660]

"Clearly shows Bills D-line just ran out of Gas"🤣 The stoopid look on Josh Allen's face is "PRICELESS"🤣 just when Bills thought they had the game in the bag. After OT coin toss. Bills supposedly NFL's "#1 D-line" FAILED again and again and again and again, to stop Chief O-line🤣 therefore, Bills BLOWING O-line opportunity🤣 within seconds Chiefs scored winning the game🤣 Goes to show again Mafia Bills boss"is" The Big💪Chief

[@kevingill144]

Lamar Jackson ran for 1000 yards twice but they’ve never seen a qb run so hard for a first down…bc Josh Allen did it lol

I think he means how hard he ran, as in like a power back. Jackson does a ton of running, but he's not running guys over.

[@ramonrivera4463]

Why do Lamar fans always come out of nowhere to say some shit about Lamar ? Hes trash and besides that Josh has more rushing TDs then him Allen had 750 on the ground this year only difference is Josh will give you 4,500 in the air Lamar could never he's out of any discussions at this point

[@mmccrownus2406]

THey changed the rules, I hear. If two guys hold on the same play then its a penalty and the clock is reset.

[@dn-zb2bj]

The hypocrisy of the change in OT opinions is striking

[@luxuryseaviewvillas6744]

1) Tyreek was not back there. 2) The music city miracle was worse. 3) Josh will win a SB.

[@thehippieboy6927]

The NFL's OT rules are terrible and damn near unfair. We get games like this once or twice a decade and it's decided on a coin toss? Just give the other team a chance to tie! I honestly don't understand the problem with that

[@johnjones3121]

It's because for some reason they can't run the ball in short yardage

[@jayjones9225]

Should OT rules be changed? Feel for Buffalo that they don’t get a shot just cause they lose the coin toss

[@witchdoctor813]

Hell no, the Bills have one of the best defenses in the league. Get a stop or force a field goal. We all love offense, but there is still two other facets of the game= defense and special teams. We shouldn’t give teams a chance because the defense didn’t execute.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Nothing wrong with the overtime rules. I say this as a Chiefs fan who, in 2018, lost the AFC Championship Game to Brady & the Pats in OT.

[@Nate-im3sg]

@@witchdoctor813 Well then, have both teams play defense in the overtime.

@@Nate-im3sg nah , both teams had 60 minutes in regulation to play offense, defense , and special teams. OT should stay as it is.
