2022 NFL Thread (Chiefs win Super Bowl 57)

[lonestar]

I can't be angry. I have no akin in this game.

I know this will shock you but I am pulling for the Bills. Their fan base are amazing,  welcoming and are so snake bitten I want them to win it all.

I'll give you my kids number, you can root them on to another SB disappointment together

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

The Chargers sure look like they don't want to win 

[King Postwhore]

Look at this SF dick snagging. You are wagging at the wring bro RJ.  Boston's Championship Dick is Long Dong Silver impressive.

RJ is so old, hell get this. Lol

[TheCountOfNYC]

I’d definitely call myself a fan of the Chargers. Still, I don’t trust them…

As I said…

[lonestar]

Wow...

[King Postwhore]

Holy fucking shit.

The only response allowed.

[faizoff]

What a game, I was wondering who would screw it up more at the end there. There's no way Staley doesn't get fired. Also wasn't Al Michaels with thursday night football? is this a special arrangement with NBC?

[Dream Team]

Well everyone wants to crown Herbert like they want to crown Burrow but wow is that a bad look for him. Spotted 27 points but was consistently shitting the bed in the red zone giving Jac the opportunity.

[Dream Team]

Honest question, do you guys think the Bills will get favorable calls throughout the playoffs in light of the Damar Hamlin situation? I sure hope the refs aren’t tempted to go there.

A lot of talk about where Brady might play next year. It must be nice to be able to choose what loaded team you go to every other year. He should choose the Texans instead, that would be a real challenge.

Speaking of Brady, you hear a lot of “he makes everyone better!” “He elevates the team!” Well he sure as hell didn’t do it this year, 8-9 and in the playoffs by a miracle and horseshoe. You know who actually elevated his team the most this year? Mahomes. Defense ranked in the 20s, terrible kicking game, yet 14-3 and first round bye. Mahomes had a 4th quarter lead in EVERY game this year but the D blew 3 of them. So 3 losses by a combined 10 points. His skill position players outside of Kelce are a bunch of has-beens/never-weres/don’t-know-yets.

If that’s not elevating your team, what the hell is?

And again, LOL Chargers  .

[hunnus2000]

All the reports that I have heard have Brady going to the Raiders.

[KevShmev]

49ers looked like the team I expected to see in the second half.

Chargers/Jags - wow, that was nuts.  I swear, when the Jags got it to 27-14, I said to my buddy, "You just know the Jags are gonna win this now." And they did.  Staley, who I've thought it was a bit of nitwit already, should not survive this.   The Chargers cannot waste the rest of Herbert's early years with that clown as their coach.  Brutal start for Lawrence, but what a finish. 

[King Postwhore]

Dream Team, do you go to bed thinking of Brady?  He really owns headspace with you. Why waste energy on him?

[ReaperKK]

I cannot believe that Jacksonville won, I tuned out of the game at half time thinking it was a wrap.

[El Barto]

I cannot believe that Jacksonville won, I tuned out of the game at half time thinking it was a wrap.

So did I, but only for a bit. I made a point to check the score frequently so I could turn it back on if JAX clawed their way back. I wouldn't have bet on that second half, but I wouldn't have bet against it, either. Everything I've heard is that TL has a good head on his shoulders. He doesn't choke and he handled pressure well. I never counted him out last night.

Seriously, the kid shook off a 4 pick first half and came back like a boss.

And yeah, SD needs to shake things up. That was butt ugly. 

[bosk1]

I had picked Jax, but gave up on them and didn't watch the second half.  Really surprising outcome.

And speaking of surprising outcomes, Miami takes the lead in the 3rd quarter????  I expected them to be losing by double digits at this point!  Pleasantly surprised at how this is going. 

[Cool Chris]

Was listening in the car at the end of the 2nd quarter. One of the guys said something like "remember when we were younger and at the 2 minute warning we would think 'that might not be enough time to make a score?' Nowadays we seem more likely than not to get a couple scores in that amount of time."

[bosk1]

Yeah.  I mean, it's still really hard.  But what's different is that we've had a few decades of perfecting and refining 2-minute drills now, so it's expected that there are a few teams that can execute them at a high level and score quickly.  It's like anything else.  Back in the '80s, you'd listen to a Van Halen record, and hearing some of the stuff Eddie was doing, it was mindblowing to hear, and really difficult for less experienced players to figure out how to sound like that.  Even if you could see him, it was like, "wait, he's tapping?  That's insane!"  But we've had so much time to analyze and figure it out, so now lots of people can do it more easily.

[lonestar]

Pleasantly surprised at how this is going.

My kid is at the game...part of me is wanting to see the upset, the other part doesn't want my kid to be sad 

(granted if it comes to Niner/Buffalo all that shit goes out the window lol)


My brother has Buffalo and the points on his parlay card, he just texted me saying he's gonna blame my kid if he loses it.

[KevShmev]

Ugly win, but a playoff win is a playoff win.  Josh Allen better clean up that crap, though.  3 turnovers won't fly against Cincy or KC.

[Nick]

Ugly win, but a playoff win is a playoff win.  Josh Allen better clean up that crap, though.  3 turnovers won't fly against Cincy or KC.

It would not have even flown against Miami if receivers not named Hill could catch a fucking ball.

[jammindude]

The Vikings look terrible!

[Dream Team]

The Bills lose that game if Tua OR Bridgewater was playing. Allen was ass, again. His D totally bailed him out.

[pg1067]

Are the Chargers actually good, or are the Jaguars bad?

Yes.

Living in Socal, I hear a fair amount about the Chargers, and the radio PBP guy for the team does my favorite afternoon drive talk radio show.  It's not like they're playing a juggernaut today, but I kinda feel like the Chargers may be peaking at the right time.

Well...these posts obviously didn't age well!   

I can't be angry. I have no akin in this game.

I know this will shock you but I am pulling for the Bills. Their fan base are amazing,  welcoming and are so snake bitten I want them to win it all.

Not quite the same history, but as a Broncos fan, I know how good it feels to finally win won after being considered a joke.  Go Bills.  Secondarily, I'd be ok with the Vikings or the Bengals.

Chargers/Jags - wow, that was nuts.  I swear, when the Jags got it to 27-14, I said to my buddy, "You just know the Jags are gonna win this now." And they did.

My kid called it at halftime.  I don't think he really believed it, but he absolutely called it.  He wasn't watching the 2nd half, and when it got to 30-28, I had to leave to take the daughter to the airport to go back to school.  I went into the son's room and told him the score and he started laughing.

[KevShmev]

The Vikings look terrible!

Their defense has been trash all year, so they are playing on brand so far today.

[pg1067]

They just showed Bud Grant at the game.  He's still alive?!  Damn!  I thought he was really old when I started following football 45 years ago.  <checks Wikipedia>...Dude is 95 years old, and he barely looks older than he did in 1977.

[King Postwhore]

Seriously. 

[bosk1]

Wow.  HUGE mistake by the Giants.  This game should be all but over.  Slayton literally dropped the ball on that play, and it could cost them everything. 

Double wow at the refs giving the Vikings a free 15 yards.

[KevShmev]

Giants hold on and will now play at Philly next week.

Dallas/TB winner now goes to SF.

[lonestar]

Not sure who I'd like us to face... Dallas in the playoffs is always fucking intense, and who knows when you're facing playoffs Brady.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

The Vikings losing should come as no surprise to anyone. They were probably the luckiest team during the regular season this year.

[T-ski]

Just needed to come in and laugh at the Vikings…..again.

[lonestar]

Got home just in time to see the Ravens fumble on the 1 inch line and have a lumbering DE return it to the house.

[bosk1]

Wow, yeah, saw that as well.  Really surprised the Ravens almost won it.  I thought it would be a blowout.  I'm 5-0 on my picks so far, but a few of those have NOT gone how I thought they would.  (I picked Dallas for tomorrow)

[faizoff]

Unless the Cowboys massively fuck up they're going to win tomorrow. The Bucs aren't that good this time round plagued with injuries to the O Line and mostly terrible coaching. If they somehow manage to win there is no way they're getting past the 49ers. I think the 9ers are going to the superbowl possibly even win it. I think it might be a repeat Chiefs-49ers game with the 9ers winning it all.

[The Realm]

Great games so far. Can't believe the Chargers lost...

Yes I am also on the 49s v Chiefs Superbowl with 49s winning.

TB have been very ordinary this year and so has Brady however, anything can happen now. Really looking forward to the game and seeing how it all plays out.
