What does it entail?
Or what does it entrail, if you have the guts?
Fun football games this weekend. Three of the four with games had a winning field goal on the last play of the game and the last went to overtime. Also, three of the four games was won by the underdogs. No Super Bowl ring for Brady or Rodgers this year.
I watched them all and they were all great.
Perhaps the most exhilarating was last night's game when something like 3 TDs and a FG were scored in the last two minutes of the game to tie it up.
But the game I'm most disappointed in was the Packers vs 49ers game.
It wasn't that I was rooting for the Packers or anything, I just hate it when a team dominates for 58 minutes of a game but makes game losing mistakes in the remaining time.
And there is no other way to put it, the Packers were dominating. Jimmy Garoppolo was playing like absolute garbage and should buy Deebo Samuel a Rolex for how he played.
Also, does anyone else feel like Cooper Kupp should get the MVP?
Yeah, Kupp was amazing. You have one receiver that is so dominant, how does he get THAT open so often?
I wasn't watching the actual games, but was following the Packers-49ers game online. When the score is that low for that long, only the defenses are dominating, and both did a fine job of that. After all, the Pack scored on the opening drive, then managed only a field goal for the rest of the game. That was a limp offense.
Just before going into the half they drove down to like the 30 yard line and then had their FG blocked.
Yeah, I forgot about that one. Still, that amounted to zero points.
The Pack had the tools. They should have been able to put up more points, but they just didn't. A score that low is a rarity in the modern NFL. It just shows how impressive both defenses were during that game. A game like the Bills/Chiefs is more what you'd expect.
The weather may also have played a role. That was a bitterly cold game in one of the more interesting venues in modern sports. That should have favored the Packers, though. A warm weather team showed up at the house of a cold weather team to play outside. The weather probably helped both defenses, but the Packers should have been better suited to the game.
It felt like GB was dominating. SF's offense was terrible. But GB score 7 on the opening drive then only scored 3 points in the last 55 minutes. Time of possession was actually about the same. It was a shocker when GB lost. I got to say, I wasn't impressed with Rodgers play, he certainly didn't step up like Stafford, Allen, Burrows and Mahomes. I mean Burrows was sacked 9 times and still found a way to win.

That's the way SF has made it that far: Their offense is terrible...and then, for some brief, shining, moment, it is terrific. Does anybody have faith in that offense? Probably not. They have a great defense and an inconsistent offense. The thing about inconsistency, though, is that sometimes it can be great. You never quite know what you are going to get, so the defense just has to keep them hanging around long enough for that moment of greatness.Quote:

In the AFC, after KC's performance Sunday, they will be big favorites. The only thing the Bengals seem to have going for is the fact they beat them in the regular season. I just hope they're close games.Quote:

The post race cannot be second in the Chit-Chat. It must be first.
You were the one that made it second, right?
Egad!
you are a modo, block the other threads :DQuote:

There is some interesting talk about Alexa taking over Dil in another thread.
Moti would support that.
He'd just be disappointed to find out that Alexa wasn't a real person.
Or maybe he wouldn't know?
Neil Young to Spotify: It's either me or Rogan.
Spotify: Rogan.
Neil Young: Wait no, I didn't mean it.
I don't think Neil Young has any interest in changing his tune. He hasn't for all these decades, he's rich as hell, and this is completely in character with his whole career. Spotify is chump change, to him.
Not really, it makes up 60% of his revenue now.
I'm ~190 posts away from passing up Parskie.
It's sad to know that there's no way he can pull away from me.
He just made $150 million by selling a portion of his catalog.Quote:

Furthermore, Neil Young has been doing things to sabotage his career as long as he's had a career. It has never mattered to him.
What still amazes me is that he got there so FAST. You took years to get as far. There must have been some SERIOUS churn going on in the Post Race back then.
Though, now that I think about it, there IS a way he could pull away from you, and it might even have something to do with how those post counts got so high: All it would take is merging in some other threads that he posted in before you were on the forum. His post count would rise, yours would not.
That would be fun.
He has a reputation count, despite having left us before reputations were added to the forum.
Who is the banned person at 5,100 posts?
Whoever it was must have had a hard ban because there are some posts where Parskie mentions "we're passed up 1000 posts" but the post count was like 940ish.
I don't think it is one person. I believe that is Guest. I forget what that account was used for.
Is that still true?Quote:

Another fun football Sunday.
How does KC score touchdowns their first three possessions then their next eight possessions they only score 3 point. How amazing is that.
The NFC games was fun too. Wasn't really rooting for either team but it did make happy to see Stafford get to the Super Bowl. That guy took a beating for years in Detroit. Another plus is I don't have to see bunches of people wearing all the 49er's gear. I live @ 90miles from SF. Can you believe there is over 20million people in So Ca. and half the fans in their stadium are rooting for the other team. That must suck. lol
In the first half, I figured KC was just going to walk away with that one. In the second half....they couldn't move the ball.
Dude, both games were phenomenal.
I was rooting for the Bengals because, well it's Joe Burrow and Ja'marr Chase. I was listening to the game on the radio on my way back home and when I got home I turned on the TV and told my wife "the Bengals just aren't able to stop Mahomes. He's 12/13 for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns" and then shortly after that he scored his third. But man that goal line stance at then end of the first half really changed the momentum.
I was rooting for both the Rams and the 49ers to continue in overtime indefinitely so that neither team won. But to that point, I am glad that Stafford is going to a Super Bowl. Pauvre bebe did take a beating in Detroit for years.
So many teams come out of the half with a different defensive strategy. That sure seemed to be the case with the Bungles. They couldn't do anything in the first half, but they sure could in the second.
