I'm going to be showing up at my favorite sports grill an hour early in order to get a better table :nod:

I'm going to be showing up at my favorite sports grill an hour early in order to get a better table :nod:

Plus you can get greased early.

[AgentOrange]

Heading to a SB party this afternoon and won't be online. Hope you all have an enjoyable game and stay safe!

[FanInAZ]

Patrons can also place wagers on sporting events, and I was thinking about putting 20 on the under when I was assuming the total points would be put at around 60 because both teams’ O overshadow their Ds in public notoriety. However, its only 51, which is too low for comfort.

On a side note, that the 1st time I bet on a SB I lost $2 to a classmate, and a football card to another classmate, betting on the Eagles over the Raiders in SB XV when I was 11 years old.

[FanInAZ]

I showed up here about 55 minutes early, and my top 2 choices for table were already taken :lol: However, my #3 table was still available :nod:

[Nomad]

Geaux NFLSU! That’s all I got.

[Nomad]

An all female flyover. You go girls!!

[FanInAZ]

OK, can we just kick the stupid ball off now?

[Nomad]

Really awesome there is a Tillman scholarship.

[FanInAZ]

Touchdown Eagles!!!!!!

[Nomad]

Chiefs defense sucks. Broncos could beat them if it wasn’t for Mahomie

[Nomad]

LoL! Another Fast & Furious movie. Each to their own.

[dogfish]

Perfect start. Love the Philly tempo.

[dogfish]

LoL! Another Fast & Furious movie. Each to their own.

I think that may officially be more movies than Friday the 13th.

[Northman]

Way to easy....

[Northman]

I think that may officially be more movies than Friday the 13th.

Believe it or not, nope. Lol

[FanInAZ]

I read that they did some CGI to "deage" Harrison Ford for that new Indie movie.

[FanInAZ]

Doink!

[FanInAZ]

Touchdown Eagles!

[dogfish]

Boo-yah!

[dogfish]

Big conversion by Hurts.

[FanInAZ]

Booooooo!

[FanInAZ]

Touchdown Eagles!!!!!!

[FanInAZ]

I believe that's the same ankle being aggravated :tsk:

[Nomad]

Chiefs are outmatched big time.

[FanInAZ]

Chiefs are outmatched big time.

It's going to get a lot worse if Mahomes is out.

[BroncoWave]

There is zero way there was evidence to overturn that.

[Northman]

I love seeing the Chiefs get manhandled.

[Nomad]

It's going to get a lot worse if Mahomes is out.

100% Mahomie makes a better game of it. Eagles are gonna destroy the Chiefs.

[dogfish]

Andy Reid seeing Mahomes go down.

"Oh no, Kermie!"

[Simple Jaded]

So weird how Mahomie comes out to Greg Olson and flat out admits what I’ve been saying about Mahomes and Wilson ask of their OL.

Mahomes is such a fraud.

I mean . . . it’s almost spooky how Olson quoted Mahomes as saying exactly what I’ve been saying.

It’s so weird.

Where does RW get off expecting his OL to hold their blocks longer than “other teams”?

[Northman]

Jfc.

[dogfish]

That field is sloppier than Tampa Bay Lightning ice in the finals. I am pleased that officiating hasn't slanted this game. Nick Sirianni channeling his predecessor Dougie P's ginormous balls in a Super Bowl is fun to watch.

[dogfish]

Where does RW get off expecting his OL to hold their blocks longer than “other teams”?

This is the kind of shit you gotta put up with when you have a TicTac star instead of a QB.

[dogfish]

Maybe they should've given Mahomie the toradol shot before the game.

[Northman]

The biggest surprise is the Chiefs defense. I thought Philly would have their way with them all game.

[Northman]

Eagles offense all of sudden turning into Denvers.

[Nomad]

Eagles pooping the bed. Chiefs making easy money.

[Northman]

This SB sucks.

[dogfish]

F'n shanked punt changes the game. Nice work azzhole, you had one job.

[dogfish]

The biggest surprise is the Chiefs defense. I thought Philly would have their way with them all game.

It's like when the Manning Colts played against us in the playoffs. Garbage defense suddenly making plays! Lol. Spags is a good DC.

[BroncoWave]

Mahomes is the GOAT QB.

[Simple Jaded]

1000% rigged!

**** off NGL.

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged!

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged!!

[Northman]

**** you Fatboy, **** you Ketchup Bitch.

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged!!!

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged!!!!

[BroncoWave]

That might be the most horseshit flag I've ever seen other than maybe at the end of the 2002 Miami Ohio State national title game.

That's the kind of ticky tack "hold" you could call on just about every play. To throw that flag in that spot is just absurd. That ref should lose his job.

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged!!!!!

[Simple Jaded]

Rigged !!!!!!

[UnderArmour]

Whichever bitter 49ers player said the Eagles had weaknesses to exploit was absolutely right. They could not cover Kelce most of the first half, and then they looked lost in the 2nd half. Giving up 35 points and not getting any pressure on Mahomes? Yikes.

[Nomad]

Congrats, KCLady to your Chiefs. I hope all is well with you and your family. :)

[dogfish]

Forking terrible call there, that decided the game. That said, Andy did that poor loser Iggles DC Gannon the way Bill Belly did McVey in his first Super Bowl. Took him behind the woodshed. And likely bent the hell out of the rules to do it. League should probably investigate his use of pre-snap motion. Either way, coaching matters in the NFL. A lot.

[Nomad]

White jersey’s win again

[Edmonton Bronco Fan]

How do you continue to watch this league in good faith after the rigging that went on against the Bengals and Eagles?

Literally made up phantom calls to ensure the Chiefs won. Sickening.

[Simple Jaded]

I’ve officially seen too much . . . the NFL is not pure. That was inexcusable.

I just can’t believe what I just saw.

[Simple Jaded]

This shit is rigged!

[dogfish]

Okay, yeah. . .

it doesn't sound immaculate when you put it like that.

[Nomad]

I’m reading so many individuals aggravated.

[BroncoWave]

Here's the thing about that play. Was it technically holding? Probably. But I would bet both of king's testicles that if you watched the all 22 of every passing play, you'd see that level of holding on every single one. You just can't make that call in that spot.

[Simple Jaded]

I’m not even drunk . . . I literally just lost faith.

I LOVE Andy Reid, I respect Mahomes.

I have no dog in this hunt.

What I just witnessed was no accident.

[Nomad]

That’s because your tolerance to alcohol is second to none.:D

Mahomes is the best QB ever to play football. Reid might be the best coach. They don't need help from the goddamn refs too.

It's second to mine, and I have questions, too.

I hate Mahomes. Hate his guts. But I can't lie about what my eyes tell me. He's like the best parts of Elway/Brady/Manning/Vick all rolled into one. Any year he's not playing in the super bowl it's a massive surprise.

Good luck to Payton stopping this freak. You have your work cut out for you.

He’s crazy good. I believe it’ll be like winning a SB if the Broncos can finally beat Mahomie.

So, more to the right, or to the left?

[King87]

Random takeaways:
That was a bad call; it would have been a rough call in the regular season. Yikes.

That field's condition was embarrassing. Holy shit.

Offense wins championships. It's a new era, boys.

Mahomes avoiding one of the best pass rushes in history (by the stats) shows how much a QB can do to mitigate pass rush. The fact that he did in one one leg pretty much cements that except in the most drastic cases, QB's have the ability to overcome bad blocking.

It's still sexy to have a line as good as Philly's, though.

At this point I'm not on the Mahomes is the GOAT bandwagon; I still believe you need at least a season after a guy retires to truly look back and appreciate the nuances of his career. I am on the "he ain't gotta play another snap," to be a first ballot HoFer though. Playing on that busted ankle and playing as well as he did after reinjuring it...he's pretty ******* tough. I don't know if he's McNabb and McNair tough, but he's pretty ******* tough.

Hurts is a monster. Philly is going to pay him this offseason it looks like, and that might save them money in the long run.

Mahomes only had one legitimate weapon in Kelce. The fact that for two straight years every AFC/NFCCG team was loaded on offense is contextually relevant because Mahomes basically broke the mold. And it was a mold he benefitted from.

Hurts was great 99% of the time. That ******* turnover was brutal. However, he was dominant as ****. Hit tough passes both in the pocket and on the run. Philly is showing us what you can do with a gifted guy who can run; they've arguably done as good of a job with JH as BUF did with Allen. Pay attention, Chicago!

Von Miller would have gotten sacks today. Both teams had pass rushers; but neither had big boss pass rushers. You need a pass rusher that's a big boss. It's science.

Sirianna is a great coach. Reid is a greater coach. Reid has serious arguments at being top five all-time. I don't think he's better than Noll, Walsh, or BB. Too much hardware and too many great contributions to the game. But...has an argument to be better than Parcells and guys like that.

Wide Receivers > Corners.

Northman and I called it with the declaration of the Chiefs needing to run the ball. For more great content with a viking and a man who I've been told is similar to a coifed Bill Burr, click on the videos we post everywhere.

Also, I'd bet Waves testicles and his ovaries that KCL is having a ball.

[Nomad]

KCLady is a good person. Love her.

[BroncoWave]

Mahomes has reached prime LeBron level where if his team isn't playing for a title, it's a massive surprise. And he's doing it in a sport with way more variance where it's way harder to make it to the final game. And he's doing it in the conference loaded with all the QB talent.

The fact that he plays for KC is the worst, but you can't deny his greatness anymore. As long as he's there, they should be super bowl favorites every year. I doubted how effective he'd be when he lost Hill. Dude didn't miss a beat. Won an MVP with Kelce and a bunch of B rate talent.

Strap in boys, we still got a long next decade ahead of us. We all better pray that Payton gets Russ back to his old form. And even that might not be enough.

I think he’s my favorite QB to watch. Ever. He’s basically this generations Elway. I don’t hold that SB loss against him, either.

But the last time I fell in love with an amazing QB to watch it was Rodgers and he turned into, if he wasn’t already, a big bowl of wieners.

[chazoe60]

So how was it? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I heard the refs basically have it to them at the end. Yeah, the NFL is a joke.

[Nomad]

Elway was magic . I’m not taking anything from Mahomie, he’s an awesome QB, but Elway was something special.

[King87]

So how was it? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I heard the refs basically have it to them at the end. Yeah, the NFL is a joke.

It wasn't the same without you.

That call was big dogshit energy.

[King87]

Also for Reid: this guy was a monster when defense dominated football and defenders could get away with murder; the rules favoring defense were as one sided as the rules are today for offense. Now that he gets to play with the rules favoring him it’s brutal.

I will say this for Hurts: he was basically their running game. I can’t think of too many big plays by their backs.

[Northman]

The real story was the Chiefs defense. While they have been good this year the Eagles defense had actually been much better but that wasnt the story last night.

At least in the second half

[Denver Native (Carol)]

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry took responsibility for a questionable holding call late in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday that helped swing the game in the Kansas City Chiefs' favor.

"I was hoping he would let it go, but of course he's a ref, it was a big game," Bradberry said after the Eagles' 38-35 loss. "It was a hold, so they called it."

The Chiefs were facing a third-and-8 from Philadelphia's 15-yard line with just under two minutes to play and the game tied 35-35. Bradberry appeared to put his hand on receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster at the top of his route and was whistled for defensive holding.

He should admit it, he did hold, but he was also pushed. At best it should’ve a no call and at worst offsetting do over

[BroncoWave]

Also, he probably felt safe grabbing there because he knew the refs had literally not called it once all game. That's my biggest issue here. You can't let them play and get handsy all game then in the biggest moment possible decide to throw the flag.

Almost a carbon copy of how last year's SB ended.
Zebras let them play for 58 minutes then called that phantom PI in the end zone.
It's getting harder and harder to ignore the conspiracy theories when shit like this happens.

[King87]

The Bengals didn't get screwed in last year's SB. They were literally gifted a TD on an OPI, held Donald all game, and had ref help on not just a missed call the play before the holding call you hate, but a TD taken off the board from L.A. because of a phantom holding call.

Philly got burnt on a bad call. However, they wasted a timeout to stop a delay of game call, gave up a fumble-six, got murdered in the second half and gave up points to the Chiefs in each drive. You can also argue KC got hosed on the Goedert challenge where he arguably bobbled the ball and only got one foot down, and some are arguing the negated fumble-six was an actual catch. I don't believe those last two, but that's been in the discussion spectrum today. Philly also botched a punt and gave up a long return; their special teams have been ass all year.

Let's not get too carried away and act like it was a robbery. It was a really bad call. It didn't determine the game; you can't get slapped an entire half of football and point to a call, especially if it's technically correct. And, let's also be honest: there was a blatant PI missed involving JuJu earlier in the game on third down.

[King87]

Bonus point: KC burned Philly on that exact same route twice before. Of course he held there; he didn't want to get burned again. That call does take the luster off of a great SB, but KC won the SB fair and square.

My beef with the call isn't that it cost Philly the game. I agree that's not why they lost. My beef is that it robbed the fans of a chance for a great finish to one of the best super bowls ever. It just made the ending completely anticlimactic.

This game would have been the perfect case of a rule I've wanted the NFL to put in for a long time. If you're leading in the last 2 minutes and have the ball, the clock only keeps running if you gain yards. It's so lame that you can kill the last two minutes on kneeling. Make the team keep playing! And if they are good enough to gain yards, so be it, the game ends.

I wanted to see Hurts get the ball back with about a minute and at least one timeout. That man was cooking. He was a God. Imagine him scoring a touchdown and then converting a 2 pt conversion to win it all. That's the best SB moment ever. He's a legend no matter what. It sucked. That call sucked. It was a call that shouldn't have been made and I hate it. I'm just pushing back on the "omfg the game is rigged," and other hyperbole.

That rule would be a lot of fun.

If the Eagles hold KC there to a FG instead of getting more time off the clock i would have liked to see what Hurts and the Eagles could have done with a couple of minutes left.

Ok you gotta admire the troll game here.

[Simple Jaded]

That’s a shit call on the first play of the Hall of Fame Game that kicks off the season every year, but in the last 2:00 of the SB? **** right the **** off with that weak shit.

Btw, there was also an obvious facemask penalty that wasn’t called on Hurts scoop-and-score fumble.

The NFL has just begun Operation Cheatriots 2.0, they’ll keep recycling this shit like the Fast and Furious garbage.
