Thirteen Seconds!
34 repliesDid you survive? Because the Chiefs vs. Bills game just attempted to kill us all with a game that murders the senses. It was a NFL heart attack wrapped in a stroke peppered with aneurysms on the gridiron. Speaking of survival… the Chiefs did exactly that in thirteen seconds of grim followed by an ALL-TIME overtime game reaping all of the benefits of being QB’d by Patrick Mahomes and his football shaped sythe.
Hello Arrowhead Guys. Hello America. Hello Humanity. How are we doing on this fine victory Monday? If your answer is amazing, fantastic, wonderful, great, awesome, sublime, stupendous, fabulous, wondrous, marvelous or miraculous? Then you probably witnessed the greatest NFL game in the history of humankind last night. If you are feeling miraculous, it’s because what we witnessed was a miracle. If your answer is NOT along those lines and is a bit MOAR negative, then you’re probably not a Kansas City Chiefs fan and that’s okay too. Nobody’s perfect. But I’ll tell you what is perfect! God! And my God, what a Chiefs win! Huge shout and thanks to the big man upstairs, because only a miracle explains how the red and gold were able to win after the Buffalo Bills final touchdown drive left them only thirteen seconds on the clock, down by three points, only to win the game 42-36.
When Mike Hughes fell down on Buffalo’s masterful touchdown drive that Josh Allen orchestrated in under an NFL minute of play. That should’ve been all she wrote. The Chiefs playoff hopes and Super Bowl dreams should’ve been over like time. When the Buffalo Bills were celebrating and the Kansas City Chiefs (and fans) were mentally considering our old annual theme of “THERE’S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR” while doing the impossible mental math of down by three with thirteen seconds left and three timeouts. It should’ve been over. We all should be crying in our Cheerios right now. Our pets should be hiding in the corner. Our children should be getting used to the idea of leaving us alone this week. Our bandwagon fans should be burning their Chiefs gear and deciding whether they wanted to hop on the Bengals train, Rams plane or if they wanted to red and gold rush to the 49ers mine because the Chiefs were outie like pregnant belly buttons. Alas, the Buffalo Bills gave Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs too much time! Apparently thirteen seconds is an eternity and who better to deal with forever besides the Grim Reaper himself, Patrick Lavon Mahomes II.

13 Seconds!
NFL fans are something else. People have been all over the crazy map since this game ended. Fanatics are declaring Josh Allen better than Patrick Mahomes (he is damn good). Haters are saying it was no big deal that Mahomes did what he did in 13 seconds, because the throws weren’t too challenging to make. Folks are saying that the Chiefs defensive secondary is horrendous and that the team played losing football to even put Mahomes in that scenario. Questioners are asking why the Bills didn’t squib kick it. Monday morning quarterbacks are doing every would have, could have, should have scenario possible. Chiefs faithful are hating on Butker missing early kicks. Buffalo Bills fans are feeling like we did after the Patriots game a few years back and many people on Earth now want to revisit the overtime rules that the Chiefs attempted to change during league meetings to no avail. Yet, the fact is the Chiefs had no shot with 13 seconds left to win this game, yet Patrick Mahomes still killed the Buffalo Bills Super Bowl dreams and led our favorite team to victory.
The hilarious thing about all of it is that we’ve been there. We’ve watched any old QB try to complete passes in those scenarios, because for thirty years after taking Todd Blackledge in the first round. That’s exactly what the Chiefs strategy was! Put any old QB (usually from San Francisco) in the game for the red and gold and hope for the best. It didn’t work. The crazy thing about anyone being able to make those throws during that 13 seconds is that if that’s the case? Shouldn’t the Buffalo Bills number one defense been able to stop them, knock them down or pick them off? Because it seems to me like Mahomes is just the best QB in the NFL and he played as such, winning another playoff game adding to his historic playoff run at Arrowhead. Additionally, the argument we heard years ago was that if the Chiefs wanted to win the game in overtime, they should have played defense. The Bills could have stopped the Chiefs in overtime. They could’ve stopped Travis Kelce. They just couldn’t despite having the leagues best defense. And they couldn’t stop Mahomes despite the fact he only had 13 seconds. And it’s a beautiful thing!
Extra thoughts!
If the Buffalo Bills had squib kicked it, the Chiefs could’ve grabbed it early and got out of bounds sooner with better field position. It happens all the time. It wasn’t a guarantee more time would’ve elapsed. All of these would have, could have, should have’s are awesome today!

This game was the ultimate testament of ‘NOT IN THIS HOUSE!’
— W.A. Watts (@ChiefBlindersOn) January 24, 2022
Josh Allen and Buffalo played incredible. I have zero bad things to say about that team. This was the best game of All-time (for me), and I am beyond happy to have witnessed this miraculous comeback.
Take it back!
It’s okay for people to think Josh Allen is as good or better than Patrick Mahomes. He played lights-out and was incredible last night.
— W.A. Watts (@ChiefBlindersOn) January 24, 2022
Mahomes and the Chiefs were just a little bit better and a titanic splash more magical. Obviously, I think Mahomes is better. But it’s whatever
We can’t believe teams haven’t yet learned that you can’t celebrate too early against Mahomes and the Chiefs.https://t.co/o8b71XO57X

It’ll take about 13 seconds! But first things first!
“There’s nothing more perfect than the best football weekend being punctuated by the best football player we’ve ever seen. … You can have any QB in NFL history for 1 game, 1 drive, 1 throw, who you taking?

kinda sorta?
The #Chiefs are activating DT Khalen Saunders off IR, source said. Late defensive help on the way
The #Chiefs are waiving WR Josh Gordon — who has been inactive — but plan to re-sign him to the practice squad if he clears, per source.
Because Gordon was on the 53-man roster for 8 games, he’ll get the same playoff check plus a practice squad check for rest of the playoffs.
Damn. I was really hoping Josh would pan out
Still don’t bel13ve that it happened?
NFL Network replay tonight at 8pmEST
Watch it without the ulcer
thought y’all might like these two …
Royals have a FB post that has Mahomes tossing the bat after what we assume to be a home run, with the caption “Walk Off”. Great picture
I downloaded it to my phone lol
Get back up there and Andy Reid it again!
All the love, AG!
I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson: It ain’t over ’til EAFOX’s ex-wife sings.

I’m normally anti-13, but it worked out for us!
a little triskaidekaphobic, are we?
Just a bit, yes. Which gave me even more reason to give up on the season at that point.
Obviously, I was wrong, and I could be happier about it!
Pringle must make you nuts
I’m not that bad about it, but 13 certainly would not be my chosen number.
Why do you hate Steve Bono?
is nice
“Do it, Kelce! Do it, do it, Kelce!”
Awesome.
I like how he used the proper “Kels” pronunciation of “Kelce” so Buffalo wouldn’t know he was talking to Travis. So smart.
yeah it is, yeah it was
5 starz ain’t NEARLY enuff … vote early, vote often! forever and always and henceforth to be known as The 13 Second Game, Hear Hear
Geaux Chiefs!
Well Ups, where’s the apology for trashing our QB for half the season?
a WHAT?!?
damn, pam … your hair has turned all SILVER n GRAY n shit, must be that advanced age we’re at (not to mention HOW many times knockin’ on the playoff door)
“trash the QB” is strong words … and untrue (depending on one’s definition of “trash”” of course … what, some constructive criticism isn’t allowed? look what he did with it … he LEARNED and became SO much better for the regular season, all those games won putting the team in position to be where they are now, so you can say “Thank You, Ups!” just any old time, and you’re welcome
as for last night: I swear Andy told me he was BS’in’ all y’all with that Grim Reaper thing … he DID say “Go Get It!” but he was referring to Chocolate Cake (doncha know)
Kinda tough admitting you were wrong eh??
I was never here …
Here is a picture of chocolate cake to hopefully distract you. (Thank me later, Ups)
the impossible mental math of down by three with thirteen seconds left and three timeouts
… I even jumped on the OT and innocently asked if 50 yds and a FG was too much to ask for (and I’ll admit, at the time I kinda figured that it WAS, but what the hell, let’s ask anyway {since we’re asking for other miracles like world peace and harmony and shit like that])
Vintage CBO!!!

huh? I used that word? I must have been googling again.
oh, I thought you said NOODLING … well, I was close
