NFL 2022 Season

[Torn Mind]

Mahomes is Goku.

Son Mahomes.

KC is going to be the "Arbiter" of the AFC for another long while, and only LORD BURROW can legitimately challenge him(sorry Josh Allen, but Josh is too cocky and loosey goosey).

Apparently Reid might be considering retiring. I'd be very doubtful he does, but if so, who the hell do they find for a coach? Granted they could probably take their pick (wonder if Sean Payton might would have some regrets). Maybe they'd promote Bienemy, or possibly Spagnuolo.

But imagine what that would do. It could be chaos. Would Billy leave New England (or maybe Kraft trade him?), would Pete Carroll make a shrewd move? Sean McVay?

Or, oh no, Kliff Kingsbury?

Bill Belichick needs to retire. He’s 70, has enough money to live for at least 70 more and is seriously pissing off Pats fans.

After 20 years of happiness in Pats-i-stan, it's a necessary remedy that Pats fans be pissed off for a while.

Oh I could give two shits.

Giants had a much better than expected rebuilding year but they have a ways to go. Don't mind their losses, in fact I was expecting a few more at least, so I'm happy with their performance overall.

I'll always root against Dallas and Philly though, it's just how it is as a Giants fan, for decades. Plus I thought the amount of predictions that this was totally Philly's game to lose like KC barely had a shot, to be ridiculous. And said so.

It was Philly's to lose, and they did in the ways that were talked about. Not getting to Mahomes, plus mistakes (turnovers, penalties, special teams, wasted TOs, tactical errors.)

They scored more points on KC than any team this year. They won in critical offensive stats.

What they could not do was combine the errors with a dreadful, ineffective 2H defense and let KC catch up, then pass them at the end. KC was too good to concede these F ups and still walk away with a trophy.

Right. I agreed the Eaqles should be slight favorites, saying the Vegas line was pretty good. My point was too many people acting like KC didn't have much of a shot. Like I said here. It's like people were practically giving KC about as much of a shot as the Giants against the Pats, not quite that bad but still pretty damn bad.

Sounds like the Giants vs New England, the year the Pats were 18-0 going in, except the Giants didn't even have a Mahomes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing all of the crying about "the call" last night.

But Philly fans don't want to talk about Jalen Hurts literally dropping the ball and giving the Chiefs 7 points on a scoop and score. Or some BS replay calls that all went Philly's way prior to that. No that didn't have anything to do with the Chiefs winning.

It was only a defensive holding call, that even without, the Chiefs would have scored 3 points easily, giving them the lead. The guy who committed that penalty even admitted he held onto his jersey after the game. He was a very standup guy and gave a really long interview. Mad props to him.

Not sure where you're getting your "Philly fans" info. I mean the Eagles subreddit is full of people saying the defense blew it, particularly Gannon. Of course people are angry about that horrible call, naturally, but very few people are blaming the loss exclusively on that call.

 

[TheVrolok]

Awww poor iggles

Dude, you're coming off as comically bitter. You need to move on from your team"s losses.

 

[TheVrolok]

But if you read this thread ... Philly was way overrated to win.

Could you link where? I honestly don't remember anyone here saying Philly was going to blow out KC. Not surprisingly Philly fans thought Philly would win, but so did Vegas. Shrug.

Exactly. In fact, Philly sports fans are historically among the more informed fan base out there. To be sure, it's a relatively low bar to clear, but still . . .

The Super Bowl is a cultural phenomenon, and about the only thing Americans can all appreciate together across the great partisan divide.

Except for the halftime show I guess.

Stay classy, Philly phans:

My reading was that most rightly considered the game a toss up. Paid prognosticators seemed to be almost evenly split, iirc. I don't know anyone who thought it would be a Philly blow out, at all.

Oh cry some more. I have never liked Philly, and just hate Dallas a little bit more, even when the Giants were winning four superbowls and in the playoffs over the last 40 years I never liked them. And Philly has always had one of the worst and trashiest fanbases in all of football. I expected the Giants to go maybe .500 or most likely slightly under this year so I'm really not sad about the Giants performance, that line is getting super stupid old real fast. They've given me way more to cheer for in my 47 years on this planet than most NFL teams give. Definitely more than the Iggles.

The Eagles are a good team, but not as good as the hype. Their road to the superbowl wasn't that impressive when you get down to it. Can't take a couple decent memes after a loss? Sensitive aren't we. If the Chiefs had a 100% healthy Mahomes and a real #1 receiver it would have not even been close.

Do you need some moisturizer with your tissue boxes, your skin might be raw from all the nose blowing...

You continue to come across as almost comically bitter. It's not a good look.

The thing is that "on paper," the Eagles had both an excellent offense and defense (this is the same reason I believed the Bills would get to the Super Bowl). Statistically the Chiefs had roughly a league-average defense, but it had been playing well in recent games. Honestly I don't know how much casual fans were loaded up on the Eagles bandwagon, but ESPN's "experts" liked the Eagles a lot more than betting odds and computer models:

Super Bowl predictions: Experts pick Chiefs-Eagles score, MVP

NFL writers, analysts and reporters take their best guesses on the Super Bowl LVII matchup. Plus, who is their favorite for MVP -- Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts?

www.espn.com

I don't agree with MrSquished's claim that the consensus leading into the game was like 2008. Personally I had KC with a small edge because I just can't bet against Mahomes. The 538 model looks pretty good in hindsight.

Finally as a practical matter, it doesn't matter a whole lot if you fell short by 3 points, overachieved and got into the playoffs, or stunk up the joint like the Bears. I'm not saying it's equally championship or bust for all teams, but only the Chiefs truly get to celebrate this season.

All I see are overly butthurt sensitive Eagles fans and y'all keep doubling down. A lot of people don't like the Iggles, or their top trashy fanbase in the league, or their dbag acting coach this season. It's pretty well known. Deal with a loss a little better.

Literally in this thread are a bunch of Eagles fans who said the game was a toss up favoring the Eagles AND that they subsequently deserved the loss. You're throwing more of a tantrum over the Eagles loss than we are, it's a pretty desperate look.

You're free to point out all the claims you mentioned in this thread that the Eagles were going to blow out the Chiefs, or an Eagles fan complaining dramatically about the loss... You may want to reevaluate which fan base, here, is acting trashy.

If you look at all the predictions, almost everyone called it for the birds and gave KC a slight chance, but not much. So I was honestly surprised at that.

So now that the Eagles, a team that I and many others don't like, lost, even a meme that pokes fun at their season (and in some way makes a bit of a point), some are getting butt hurt over. And literally saying I'm bitter over the Giants, which if you see my posting history, I am not at all. So it's sad Iggles fans are so butthurt they gotta go after Giants fandom, when I don't care. I know they are a mediocre team these days and they have been great to us fans over the last forty years, and I am feeling hopeful with our new regime and our QB. I could care less they lost this year. I didn't expect them to win much.

Let me go find some more memes, I wasn't even looking for any, that just came up in a subreddit.

edit: I also called Philly a good team and lauded Hurts as a great QB who deserved to get paid, that I'd love to have on a team I liked. Methinks a truly bitter person would be unreasonable and shit on all their players and team altogether and say stuff like 'see they suck' yada yada. I gave them some props instead. Again, all I see are butthurt Eagles fans.

Why was this one the most watched?

You think that's bad, the half-time show had 118.7 million viewers. Katy Perry was #1 at 121 million (2015). Might be why Seahawks game had high numbers. More people are watching the half-time show than the actual game. I wonder if that's always been the case.

 

[Muse]

I didn't care who won that game either way, but what are Philly fans saying about the 3 gift TD's they gave up? those two passes were probably the easiest TD's I have ever seen in a Super Bowl...could those guys have been more wide open?

And I can guarantee you that if the situation was reversed, they would be screaming if a penalty wasn't called (which would pretty much apply to any fan base)...

And that punt return to the 5? The 2nd half was a pretty epic meltdown by the birds.

To me the 1/2 time show sucked. Very generic. Synched dancers in matching costumes, diva holding microphone with toned down dance moves. Same ole thing. After a bit I FF through it.

 

[Muse]

Also, what kind of weak ass throw was that for a Hail Mary from a NFL quarterback?

Bad shoulder throw.

 

[Muse]

Last thing. NFL needs to ban Arizona from hosting games if they can't get their piece of shit field in shape.

QFT. That was unforgiveable.
