I don't disagree with the idea that both teams should get a chance to have the ball.  I support it.  However, I don't think it makes a difference to the Bills.

The Bills get the ball, and predictably, Allen takes them down to score.  Tie game.  Mahomes wins it on the second possession.  Though I suspect that if it were both teams getting the ball, McDermott goes for two when they score, knowing his defense hasn't stopped Mahomes all game.

That absolutely is a reasonable argument. With all of the rule changes they keep making it is becoming harder and harder to play defense in the NFL. They had 13 seconds at the end to win the game and an opportunity in overtime to get a stop and get their opportunity on offense. They failed both times.

How about make some rule changes that benefit the defense for a change? Not every football fan enjoys a high scoring shootout every game. Some of us enjoy the low scoring, smash mouth defensive grudge matches.

Even if you allow both teams to possess it once, it's still a big advantage to win the coin toss.  That is why the college ot rules are superior.  The chances are almost even.  

The chances are not almost even. The team that gets the ball second in college wins 60% of the time.

I find it funny how everyone is saying this is was a really good game. 
I disagree. It was an offensive focused game, but not “the best game ever”. 
I am kinda tired of calling games with terrible defense and tons of points “amazing games”. They are fun to watch, but as a football game it was pretty bad. 
Kinda reminds me of the Eagles and Patriots Super Bowl. Terrible defense and tons of points=“Best Game Ever”.

Give me a 21-17 game over a 42-40 game any day. But I am kinda old fashioned.

The way that game ended was disappointing, even if I don't give a rip one way or another who actually won.  Knowing it was coming from the time the coin toss was over in a playoff game is just a bad product.  

If that game disappointed you then you're hard to please.

      Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.
