Yes, OT rules are stupid but the Bills defense let the Chiefs march down the field with ease. I thought the Bills were supposed to have this amazing defense but in the 4th quarter and OT they certainly didn't look it (they looked like the last ranked defense if anything). Anyway, that was an amazing game and I hope next weeks AFC and NFC championship games are just as good.

The Chiefs' defense was just as awful. Why should they be let off the hook?
Allen was just as incredible and amazing as Mahomes was. Why can't he get another shot to respond?

If the Bills had won the toss and scored that TD, the same would be true vice-versa.

The fact that an all-time classic, extremely important PLAYOFF game with high stakes can come down to a freaking COIN TOSS is total bullshit.

Yes, as I said the OT rules are terrible and need to be changed. It was quite clear that both had awful defense in this game ( a point nobody is disputing). All we can hope for is that the NFL changes the rules next season (although I have my doubts they will).

Personally, I think both teams should get at least 1 offensive possession, and then the game turns to sudden death after that.  But I don't see it happening.  The Chiefs lost to the Patriots in the 2018 AFC Championship game exactly like this.  The Chiefs proposed changing the overtime rules after that season so that both teams would get possession, and it didn't even get enough support to get a vote.
