That’s results based thinking…that was an obvious spot to go for two.
I know you‘re the analytics guy but time and time again empirical evidence indicates it was a mistake. These arguments are over nominal differences in outcome so I think there’s room for other considerations in the decision. I’m a solid take the points guy. I would also argue it’s not results based thinking because I thought it was dumb when they did It.

I like the Bills matchup vs the Chief's more than I liked this matchup. The Ravens are big and strong and Henry is a beast. The Bills defense is small and can be overpowered.

One exception.... the game is in KC

Stupid analytics that early when scoring keeps happening. Cost the bills a tie. Take the damn points!!!

I said it was too early to go for two when they lined up. And I questioned not giving to Henry there after they ran it down our throats. They chased points and it bit them.

I feel bad for Andrews but I felt good about the Bills’ chances after the late TD. All they needed was a FG and they had 1:33, 2 TOs, and Josh Allen.

Go Bills! 🦬

The Bills often remind me much of PSU teams. This year's team seems to have a rejuvenated offense with Allen playing MVP level, Cook running unbelievably all season and Shakir and Kincaid filling in the gaps. Not saying Allar is playing like that, but he and the offensive line were much improved over a year ago. Allar does have similar physical attributes as Allen. On defense, both teams are opportunistic with takeaways, however neither one is really stout up front and certain teams can run on them. Hoping all the Bills can heal up and be ready for KC next week!

Edit: Also both teams seem to have found an OC that at least puts a little fear in opponents in Brady and Kotelnicki

Henry had 84 yards rushing. He had 40 on one drive. Buffalo pulled their running game out from under them with their defense.

Agree, but it looked like the Bills defense was really tiring at the end. They had just enough left in the tank.
