BERTBALL IS LIFE
It's a credit to their franchise they have been as successful as they have without ever really being able to "bully ball" anyone. As I look back on their playoff losses since like 2007 or so they have lost several times as the higher seed & have been out physicaled by the other team often. The Giants did it to them a few times with Tom Coughlin's teams & San Francisco has as well. They've had some shootout losses as well (sort of like this week) but it's been a pretty recurring theme that they lose in January if someone gets real physical with them.
Like the Duke of the NFL?

"Sexy Mike McCarthy" is what I was gonna say.
makes total sense . he’s a good older coach & thats what NYG need & want
Pat Bryant looking great early in the Broncos-Bills game.
PB13 with three touches on the first four plays.
And he promptly got concussed

Just brutal, he’s had more than one I think they said, I hope it’s not going to be an ongoing issue for him.
Allen not helping his team today. Pretty poor play from your leader.
Well, he goes down and takes the lead.
But Buffalo has 4 TOs and has the lead. WTH.

That tush push is automatic for the Bills. Kind of like the beloved handing off to Jordan Anderson.
I hope he gets the proper time to heal. So, Ima gonna do my part and root for the Bills in this game.

Apparently, 60 minutes hasn't been enough. Bills/Broncos, going to OT.
Gene Steratore just waits for the on field officials to make their ruling & supports them. Obvious PI on Broncos.
That was a great point Nantz just brought up about Allen having played at altitude (in fact higher than Mile High) when he was in college at Wyoming.

Romo and Nantz are just openly rooting for Buffalo at this point. 
The roughing passer is right. The DPI is horsh!t.
Broncos however look very very beatable.
NFL refs giving fellatio to Denver. Ridiculous.

In a season where there's no Mahomes, no Burrow and no Lamar in the playoffs Josh Allen and the Bills have failed to reach the Super Bowl. Broncos defeats Bills in OT. Going to be an interesting off season for Buffalo front office with lots of questions. Can they give Josh more receiving help? And is Sean McDermott still the right coach for this team?
Nix broke his ankle and is out the rest of the playoffs
Jarrett Stidham will start for the Broncos in the AFC Championship next Sunday. Sam Ehlinger will be the backup QB.
Refs seemed (to me) to favor Denver, with just about every 50/50 call that may benefit them being called, and just about every 50/50 call that may hurt them not being called.
Having said that, Buffalo deserved to lose; they made so many mistake and made just about every bad decision, including not kneeling to end the first half, which gifted the Broncos 3 pts that proved crucial (I also think the turnover rattled Allen and the Broncos).
Denver looks very beatable, especially now that Nix is out (I'm sure the NFL is not happy about this outcome, more so now with Nix's injury). Who ever wins the NE/HOU game should be able to beat Denver, easily.
Just watched clip of Payton announcing Nix's injury. He said injury happened on second to last play of OT (not including the kneel down, so the play before the Mims play).
