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:
