Is this year’s Super Bowl a competition between which of the Cowboys/49ers will get to beat up on the Ravens?

It will be like Christmas…really it will be, Ravens at SF on Christmas night.

Chefs and their fans complaining about the refs is hilarious after the last 5 years of all the calls they have gotten their way

3 regular season wins by the Bills in 3 years at Arrowhead, elbobo, and I am so glad that is over.

It would be remarkable if the league finds some way for it to be four straight years and I wouldn’t put it past them. 
 

btw, @Commissar SFLUFAN, just to keep you up to date, today’s post game speech was on the precision of the Khmer Rouge.

Those days on boards.  The aughts, before here…hate to be that guy, but those were the days. Many of us from IGN, many from other places.

Then here the internal fights on how this place should be run.  The pettiness.  The hot topics.  The gaming. The charity events. The current events. 
 

Good times. 
 

Man, I am the guy who used to keep track of this. 
 

I’m as old as dirt.

if so Happy Anniversary and congrats to all, especially those of us here since…well…you guessed it, Day 1.

Philly at Dallas should be good. Let’s see if the Eagles get their shit pushed in again. 

Biggie, if they get Hochuli and his crew it should be smooth sailing for the Eagles.

Could be worse. Falcons can’t beat anybody. 

Yeah, but you have some good signs of life and turning the corner, Biggie.  We are the purgatory of "good sometimes, but not good enough and everybody else is getting better."

Dorsey has to go and I can't believe I am saying this, but there at least needs to be a long sit down with McDermott.

Ending the draught is great, and 5 playoffs in 6 years is nice, but they are further away now than they were 3 years ago...Where is this headed?  He is the one who has to answer that.

DVRing tonight.  It’s going to be ugly.

If the Bills win, great, but they are not.  If I’m out early, fine.

They can’t beat the Bengals.  There were so many things going on last year by the time the playoffs came that they ran out of steam, but that doesn’t change anything.  At their best they can’t beat the Bengals even if they were healthy, which they’re not.

Bills are better against the Chiefs, in KC than they are against Cincy, even if they were home, which they are not tonight.

I was today years old when I learned that an official doesn't actually need to spot the ball.  The centre can just spot it, and the official can just slap it.  Seriously, WTF.

I was 3:52 EST time when I found out.

Wow...wow.  

That's like finding out that if the offense catches a missed field goal off of a goal post it is a TD.

As if someone just made it up because.

I was yesterday years old when I found out who the Vikings back-up QB was.

Derek Henry can't afford a $350 jersey swap

 

Derrick Henry holds off on jersey swaps because of cost - ESPN

WWW.ESPN.COM

---

Though Henry is set to make $10.5 million in 2023, he knows that the $350 cost of swapping jerseys after every game will add up.

 

Yeah, I get it, but I am of the opposite opinion.  Sure he makes a lot, but seriously?  The (some) NFL teams are charging their players what it costs on the street for an authentic NFL jersey?!

Your own jersey isn't perkified perk of playing for the team?  Even at a discount? Are they checking him for team pens and stationary when he leaves the building?

Not a bad day for the Tier 2 QB Allen.

If we’re being honest, I don’t think that penalty actually decided the game, but holy shit what a wet fart ending to an otherwise incredible game.  

Yeah, sort of this.

If he DIDN'T hold on that play, given it i Mahomes, that honestly would have been a TD, which would have been better for the game.

In other words, I think if Philly were to lose people would have at least like to see them get the ball back with under 2 minutes and a time out with a chance to tie it down 42-35, than watching the Chiefs run the clock down and kick an extra point for a 38-35 score in what was a great game.

Mahomes is the standard bearer for QBs in this League and has been since 2018.

Football is a sport that is SOOO much better live.

[If the broadcast would zoom out so that the receiver's routes were on screen, I could be convinced to change my mind.]

I've been to 200 plus games since '75 and none since '08.  I've been to see  OJ, comebacks, Hail Mary's (Big Ben as it was known up here), Super Bowls, I've sat in the freezing cold and in the boiling heat.

I'm with Biggie on this one...at least now I am.

Go...?...I don't know who I am rooting for.

Oh and @Biggie the most important thing is, I love ya man.  I honestly do.  Nothing would be the same without you here.

...and if it bugged you, the comments I made...I am sorry.

Same to you, @sblfilms

Now LET'S GO...?...man...do I even have any team to root for?

Falcons didn’t lose 4 Super Bowls consecutively. 
 

Checkmate

See, that's good!  Nice, Biggie!

It does nothing for getting you guys to .500, but it shows chutzpah!*

(* just checked...does nothing to get them out of last place, either, but it is still very good)

“we got throttled from the jump!” is not the flex you think it is

It is in comparison to the Falcons and part of the point of the response of what Biggie was bringing up and what I had previously brought up in our back and forth.

I'm sorry if you missed some of it and some football down in Houston, SB, but that was the goings on between Biggie and me.

All good, though.

The better team won on Sunday.  Better offense, defense and coaching.  

However, at 14-4 I am far from wringing my hands over my team.

All those little shots @BuckFly was making about my Falcons seem to have turned his Bills into the very same thing. 

Not true...the Bills were never up by 28.

Also you and I have very, very, VERY different definitions of "same thing."

Man I wanna believe the 49ers will run over the Cowboys but I keep thinking back when the Falcons made them look ordinary. The Falcons. 

The best team the Niners have beat this year was the LA Chargers on November 13th.

Again, I still think they are a Super Bowl team, but yeah, this is going to be a test.  

Talked with my Miami law school buddy before the game.  I told him it was going to be close.  Dolphins play with heart and the Bills have a number of holes.

Give me last year’s 11-6 team over this 13-3 bunch every time.

From my Bills Board Pat Mahomes is the oldest starting QB in the AFC playoffs at 27.

Crazy.

Average AFC age is 25.

Bills DBs start the playoffs against Waddle and Hill and if they win will likely get Chase, Higgins and Boyd, and then if they win that they'll follow it up with Kelce and Smith-Schuster.

...oh...joy.

How are they so bad at this?

Years and years of s***ty practice, SB.  Ridiculous as they are running for cover from the “take five minutes to warm up” line that was said by somebody, reported from the booth, but is now an orphan. 
 

“Who said that?  No, wasn’t us. No idea where it came from.  That makes us look like we just want to feed the machine for one of the biggest games of the year. We’re not like that.”
