NFL Thread III

And they did!

That sure is a god awful spot of the football on that supposed not-TD. If anything, that ball was on the goal line. They put it on the one yard line.

 

[LemonMelon]

Chiefs receivers have been awful tonight.

 

[LemonMelon]

Well, forget my predictions if the punter can't even handle a snap and kick straight lol

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Anyone else think “I came here to block” was a trick

 

[phanan]

I’ve seen this movie before.

 

[LemonMelon]

This is sad because I can't even say anything nice about the Bucs. Shanked punts, dropped passes, countless stupid penalties, the Chiefs just straight up suck tonight.

Gronk has looked very gronk of old today

Really curious what Andy Reid was thinking using his timeout before half

 

[LemonMelon]

A no-name QB doesn't get these soft calls. That Brady influence!

 

[DaveC]

i absolutely hate this

 

[lazarus]

I'm not watching the game and only following the ESPN Gamecast. Were either/both of those pass interference calls legit?

 

[the tourist]

Fairly. Either could possibly have been deemed uncatchable.

I’ve seen that movie before too.

Both were uncatchable IMO, and the second one wasn't close.

Really? I thought the second one was the debatable one lol. I also think it was a particularly weak call, but entirely self inflicted by Andy Reid.

I'm positive. Even Romo laughed that one off because it was such an unnecessary flag. There was contact, but why throw that flag when the contact had zero impact on the result?

The refs are trying to dictate the style of play in this game and I hate when that happens. There isn't an inordinate amount of contact IMO.

 

[lazarus]

Well, if they were bad calls one could argue it's karma for last year's Super Bowl.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I’m in love with The Weeknd’s socially distant senatorial robotic catholic orchestra display thing.

 

[LemonMelon]

Audio mixing is fucked on this performance but I'm enjoying it anyway

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Not sure why he’s slowing it down at all, bad vibe pick it up

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh my God he did House of Balloons

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I’m a fan of the recurring theme with the bandages from the AMAs.

 

[LemonMelon]

I loved House of Balloons the moment it hit the internet and no one knew what Abel looked like. It's been almost 10 years now. Hearing the title track at the Super Bowl...man. Really happy for him.

 

[LemonMelon]

Butker is the only clutch player on the Chiefs tonight.

 

[the tourist]

One of the better half time shows in recent memory. So of course people on my Facebook feed are ripping it to shreds.

 

[lazarus]

From ESPN:

Chiefs first half passing offense was worth -3.5 expected points added. A stunner.



Also, it should be noted that KC was #4 in penalties for the regular season. So the calls might seem lopsided but they tend to get more in general.

 

[LemonMelon]

LOL folding like a deck chair even with an extended halftime.

Even my sorry ass team gave Tampa more of a scare than this.

 

[lazarus]

Last week they asked a bunch of "experts" how many points down the Chiefs would have to be down at halftime to count them out of winning.

Their answers were mostly hyperbolic, but Mahomes sure don't look like he's about to perform a miracle.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm good with the Chiefs getting blown out so long as the refs aren't the story of the game. I hate that shit.

Just one team absolutely kicking the shit out of the other one this half.
