Thanks, Seth. I remember being about 10 years old for the crazy Chargers-Dolphins playoff game and thinking, as long as I live, I will never see another game like this. (I was philosophical as a kid.) But I was wrong. Having a rooting interest and having my team win while being utterly spectacular took it even a notch higher. Fun times. Loved the review.
If there were another Seth Keysor (as if such a thing were possible) who happened to be a hardcore Bills fan it could be fascinating to get his take on this. And by "this" I mean both the game itself and Seth's analyses of the two QBs that day. I wonder how some of the biggest-brained folks with PFF and similar organizations would view it all...
Of course, if any of them disagreed with Seth about anything they would automatically be wrong. That goes without saying. Even though I just said it.
We all love Patrick so much and after 2018 I told anyone willing to listen that we would own the West (and potentially much more) until teams got their own version of him. After watching draft after draft this century filled with Geno Smith’s and others I can’t even remember the names of, I felt very safe. But I have been amazed at the recent QB crops that include several worthy challengers for Patrick. Herbert, Jackson, Burrow, Lawrence (?), Watson, Allen. Even Brady refuses to die!
If anyone is up for the competition it is the QB from Tyler, TX! But I so enjoy laughers.
He was one of my favorite versatile defensive players but, in the small samples I've seen here and there and the games watched games, the Honey Badger looked like he might of lost a step or two. I think I can see why the Chiefs wanted a bigger safety.
You promised this and you delivered! Definitely worth waiting for this read. And confirms the eye test of that game. Interesting but not surprising about Allen being a little more comfortable in the pocket.
I like the little things you do to help us "see" the point you are making. Like the yellow "blip" of circles on our secondary where they left the deep shot open. Or other times where you do the same highlight to the player pre-snap. Like you say, both QB's played a heck of a game. I was there and I am sure I was close to a coronary multiple times. When your defense runs into each other or falls down I'm sure it makes their (QB's) job easier even without the gift wrap.
Awesome observations. You are the BEST!!

This was such a fun read, and a great exercise to put a ridiculous game into context. Thanks for putting in the extra work on this one, Seth!

So you’re saying Patrick has a chance?! 😉

So it's settled then. Pat is Football Jesus. Can't wait for my grandkids to tell their kids and grandkids about the Legend of Mahomes.

This was a great read. Always great to see how mahomes’s greatness compares to other great performances.
<<From all appearances, Allen did pretty much everything possible for his part to win in Kansas City.>>
He did call tails

Just great. It is really useful to see the other side's pluses and minuses to keep everything in perspective.
Please consider doing this type of article more frequently whenever the Chiefs are in their slow season.
Meh...that game was okay i guess
