In a public service announcement regarding the following morning’s weather, the Lakewood Police Department in Colorado destroyed the Bills for their defensive mishaps last weekend.
Hysterical.
There will be snow (2-5”) tomorrow during the AM rush hour, so you know the routine: Make sure your tires have good tread, drive slowly & give the same amount of room to nearby cars that the #Bills gave to #TravisKelce with 7 seconds left to get to FG range. #CoWx #BillsvsChiefs https://t.co/JshRVmWwMJ

A subtle joke that stings in the midst of whiney Bills fans who still believe overtime rules screwed them. They’re right — the rule is ridiculously outdated, but there’s no doubt this post is funny.
Only issue we’ve found is that the messenger of this tweet is from Colorado, which is where the Denver Broncos play. Unless they land Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson, this exchange lands a whole lot like the Sacramento Kings poking fun of Russell Westbrook last week.
I was rooting hard for the Bills in that game, both because I’m originally from that general area of the country, and because I don’t want Jackson Mahomes to get any more attention. However, I have no sympathy for people blaming the overtime rule. The overtime rule is perfectly fair. The Bills couldn’t stop the Chiefs from getting into field goal range with 13 seconds left in regulation, and then they couldn’t stop them in overtime. Stop complaining, and we’ll see you next year, Bills’ fans.
It can be statistically proven that the overtime rule is not fair. In the NFL, the team that wins the toss is 9pp more likely to win the game than the team that loses the toss. How you can call that fair is beyond me.
Totally agree with you @bleedmaizeandblue. Both defenses were gassed so it was obvious the team that won the toss would win the game. (See NE-KC AFC Championship and NE-ATL Super Bowl.) Give each team an offensive series in OT to score, then sudden death if still tied.
The data is a lot more nuanced that your stating here. Yes the team that wins the toss wins at at a higher percentage but 80% of the time both teams get the ball only 20% of the time does one team take it down and score. Just stop them and 80% of the time both teams get the ball.
Let’s go Cincy!
Or Rams or 49ers.
Just play defense for 13 seconds and it’s a moot point. Everyone knew what KC was going to do and the Bills folded faster than the Afghan army. They should be embarrassed.
It’s a shame 99% of the comments come from people that listen to 1% of facts. Not a single Buffalo Bill bitched about the OT rules and actually stated that if the shoe was on the other foot would have been the ones celebrating. 99% of Bills fans agree, and 99% have major issues with the way the last 13 seconds were coached and the fact that the coaches won’t answer any questions about strategy leave their players hanging out to dry. McDermitt and Frazier are just not prime-time clutch coaches.
