Am I the only one that finds it slightly suspicious that in a league where appreciation of franchise values is so important, the team the league knows is about to be put up for sale wins the Super Bowl? Funny how often the league gets the best economic result.

You’re probably not the only one suspicious in a modern world overrun with conspiracy theories… but the Seahawks were pretty clearly one of the two best teams. The only team close was the Rams.

Seahawks were clearly the best team though. Seahawks, Rams, and Bills were easily the best overall teams this year.

Bills got screwed and you know it. If they play the Broncos 10x, they are winning at least 7 of those games.

You gotta control the ground with the ball, and Nix outplayed Josh Allen that game. Allen had 4 turnovers, to Nix's 1. So no thats not true at all.

Allen had 2 TOs that were his fault. And the last TO wasn't actually a TO if it's called correctly.

I dunno, the bills lost to a lot of teams. The Bills weren't a great team this year. They were a bit of a let down offensively. Even with cook killing it.
 
Heyward said:
He had two strip sacks, and one INT, even if you leave out the last pick. So he had 3 turnovers.

The 2nd strip sack was on a play where the LT didn't even get a finger on the edge rusher. The play was designed as a simple out pattern and Allen got creamed as soon as his back foot hit on his drop back. The play was ENTIRELY the fault of the LT.

I mean that's glossing over one of the ugliest in field fumbles I"ve ever seen in my life. His first fumble was fucking horrible.

I also don't buy that it was a simple out and the LT's fault, the OLB was in 9 technique and got chipped by someone and maybe Dawkins should have gotten to him, but watching the play it was clear that the playcall was bad. Allen was 10 yards deep on a drop, a 9 technique gets to basically run a straight sprint to that spot and your OT has almost no shot of getting there. Had Allen felt the pressure and stepped up or stayed instead of dropping back Bonito would have had to ease up letting Dawkins get to him. Dawkins probably should have made the block based on his salary, but it wasn't a clear miss like Freeman ignoring Hightower.

My guy, Allen hit his back foot and was getting the ball out when he got hit. Was it a bad play call? Maybe. But Dawkins didn't get a finger on him.

And yes the other 2 TOs were bad. But if the OT pick was called correctly, we probably aren't having this convo. It's probably Sea/Buff super bowl, which would have been way more entertaining.

I mean I won't disagree on that last part because Buffalo is a more interesting team than New England.

I'm not saying Dawkins did a great job. But being real, even if that was Jordan Mailata, there's a real chance there's no difference.

I think the OT pick was called right, nothing Cooks did completed the catch, and he lost control of the ball.

If they called the holding call before the pick, it's Den/Sea if we're being technical. Buf was holding like 2 of Denver's DL in the endzone, not called of course.
