land at about the 7 yard line.

But I agree with your point. Defense is still part of football.

it, if I were Buffalo.

dare I say it reminded me of Rocket vs Colorado punt return as both had so many would be tacklers converged on the both of them.

No flag
Hill didn't score (which sucked because all we got was a FG out of it and I told buddies that was a really bad deal as being up 5 wasn't going to help)

I'll take it...helluva win

In a game of heroic effort from his team, the coach lost it for them.

Squib kicks usually give the other team the ball around the 35-40 yard line, which is about where the Chiefs were after that first play to Hill. So it would have drained a few seconds but I'm not sure it would have materially mattered with where the Chiefs ultimately ended up.

These guys can squib it deep and make them run off 4 or 5 or so seconds to get to the 25.

Why don’t they squib kick it every time?

Look, this is not a hill (pun intended?) that I'm gonna die on, I'm just saying I don't think it is as obvious as some are making it out to be.

My guess is it was discussed but they thought the risk wasn't worth the reward. Do we want to give the Chiefs two plays from the 25, or one play from somewhere between the 30 and the 40 (with a non-zero chance of a big play on the kickoff).

In my opinion, the blunder was on the successive plays. You can either give up a quick play of no more than 15 yards, or a slower developing play of more, but not both a quick and long play.

Interestingly, I wonder if getting the two point conversion hurt the Bills. It seemed they were guarding against a TD with 13 seconds left versus if they were up by only one they may have been a bit more focused on not giving up the FG.

I understand your point, but -- having watched Hill and Hardman quite a bit -- I can understand the desire to keep it out of their hands at all costs.

It was Pringle deep

He also returned one for a TD this year that was called back for a penalty, if I recall correctly.
