    Too many injuries on the Bills defense. I like the Bills and they're always good. Love Josh Allen. Bu they have beaten KC 3 years in a row during the regular season only to lose to them 3 years in a row in the playoffs. Coaching, maybe?

    I grew up in upstate New York and regularly went to Buffalo Bills games. I was there in the early 70s when George Foreman (Vikings RB) was hit by a snowball and it nearly took out his eye.

    If the snow is wet or icy you can do a lot of damage with a thrown ball

    Was that before or after his first bout with Ali? :D

    (You mean Chuck, right,?)

    ...anyway.... snowballs are pretty benign. OK, sometime in the 1970s, a player got a piece of frozen water in his eye...

    Sounds really fluky to me.

    They need consistent receivers. I like Diggs, but he’s gotta haul in that pass that clearly fell through his hands

    They got what they need. They just need to play their cards smarter.

    Zero need to be going for homers when they were running n getting first downs at will.

    He had an easy first down for the taking but went for TD and missed, then missed FG.

    Take the gift wrapped 1st. Go for TD on 1st, when Kc stacking LOS to stop run...

    You got 2 downs after that, yo focus on getting another 1st...

    They blew 2 drives going for the kill prematurely--which wouldn't have been a killer anyway, since Mahomes would git another shot anyway. Kill the clock, gov for last second td. That was the play to make, not the way they did it.

    Would be cool to see the Lions win, they've been the laughingstock of football for the past 3 decades. I'm cool if the Ravens win too. Mahomes already has 2 rings so I don't care to see him win another one, and I've never been the biggest SF fan.

    George/Chuck ...what's the difference? :eek: Yeah, swing and miss on that name. Thanks for correcting.

    Snowballs aren't powdery. They have to have moisture to stick together to make the ball. Otherwise they fall apart like sand.

    Mahommes is different. Just one of those guys that wins. You can blame the refs .. but last night was all chiefs.
    I do not see them getting by Ravens. I don’t see anyone getting by the ravens.

    Have you ever lived in snow country? On cold dry days with light fluffy snow it is true that "snowballs are pretty benign". But with heavy compactable snow, they can become very dangerous. I don't know the snow conditions on game day so I can't comment specifically to that.

    Yeah you literally can't even make a snowball with a fresh snow in Utah because it's powder. Contrast that to a snowball in Oregon or one in Utah that has thawed and melted over a couple of days and it can absolutely do some damage.

    Yes, I've lived up North (Minnesota). Never met a snowball that wouldn't burst upon impact agsinst a football helmet, and whatever the "shrapnel" or "flak" from an exploding snowball, its less harmful than exploding glass from a beer bottle (Auburn) let alone the shear impact of a battery turned projectile (Eagles).
