While the Bombers season is getting started we can still be excited about the upcoming NFL season. Big dollars are being tossed around at players, we have rookie QB's getting a chance to create their legacy and after 40+ years of being a Steelers fan I am heading to Pittsburg for the first time ever for Sunday night football vs the Cowboys. IF any of you have been to Pittsburgh and have some must see places let me know.
Jefferson signs a 4 year deal for $140M. Crazy. CD Lamb up next.
I'm hoping for a bounce back season for the Bengals this year.
Got a chance to check out Betts on the weekend. Played well. he had a DT and a sack in his limited.
Did not see Manu at all in that game.
Ravens and Chiefs on Thursday night. Should be a good one.
The finish was pretty good.
LOTS of sloppy play the whole game though. Especially the Ravens.
I am not sold on the new kickoff rules yet. But, I will give it some time.
Vikings with a nice win today.
As a Giants fan, not so much.
Steelers and Bombers can't get much going on offense...all FG's today for my nfl team.
Haha to the Bungles and the Browns...
Some monster hits in the games today.
"Waiting all day for Sunday night..."
49ers looked very solid last night.
Funny guys

Bills looked in mid season form last night.
Vikings with a big win over the 49ers.
Vikings D, playing very well right now. 3-0 nice start.
Vikings looked very VG in the first half. But, not so much in the second half. Lucky to hold on for the win.
How good is the Ravens O.

Their first could of games looked pretty meh, but the run game is rolling now. If they get an early lead, they seem to be able to take over the game. But they don't play as well from behind.
I honestly think the CFL has better refs than the NFL.
Land Clark is a joke
I don't always get the NFL versions of rules, so I'm usually surprised with a lot of play calls. I like how they have a "rules expert" who walks through the calls afterwards.
NFL seems to allow way more hand fighting, so I can never determine pass interference.
Live from Pittsburgh:
Had no idea Pittsburgh was so nice, the rivers, the bridges, the restaurants and the bars...so far a great place to visit. The Steelers pro shop is huuuuge.
LOTS of cowboys fans here for this rivalry game.
Going to the terrible tailgate - it's an all you can drink event so updates might not come until tomorrow.

Cheering for the Cowboys in that one, but have a great night!
The Raven's with a big win.

What a horrible ending to a great game.
What a game...atmosphere was incredible, way louder than Winnipeg and Minneapolis.
Renegade was awesome.
Been wanting to go there for years, brutal loss but honestly can't be too sad.
Vikings 5-0. Cowboys win with a bunch of turnovers and 6 starters out on D, and crazy wild finish to that game.
Quote from: Jesse on October 06, 2024, 11:33:10 PMWhat a horrible ending to a great game.
Not if your a Ravens fan.
Heading to Minne. for the Lions/Vikings game on October 20th. Lions are a very physical team, this should be a good one.
Celine Dion promoting the NFL on Sunday night with a Gatorade shower. Priceless.
Well, was down in Minneapolis for the Vikings game. Granddaughters first NFL game. Great game, to bad the Viking couldn't get a 1st. down to end that game. Detroit has a good team, and I like how aggressive they are.
Wow, the Buc's lose there two top receivers. We know what that feels like.
steelers are for real...tough battle with the ravens - is Tucker washed?
Viking with another nice win.
Chiefs get lucky with a last second doink FG to win.
Dallas loses ;D
I love how aggressive the Lions are, but attempting a short kick with 12 minutes left in the 4th, down by 10. Really.
The Vikings 12-2.
Head scratcher for sure when the Lions declared their desire to short kick at that point in the game.
NFL has many positives in the talent and t.v. game presentation
but this having to declare when you want to short kick and its bevy of little rules is pure awful

Vikings paying Sam Darnold $10M.
Re cousins
Commanders fans told the Vikings fans what to expect
Vikings fans told Falcons what to expect.
Cousins has ONE playoff win in his entire career.
A cousins highlight for some laughs

Free kick, after fair catch. You can't make these things up. Crazy.

That was pretty amazing last night.
Jan: 11. Chargers @ Texans. Steelers @ Ravens.
Jan:12. Broncos 2 Bills. Packers @ Eagles. Commanders 2 Bucs. Vikings @ Rams.
If I can get tickets, I will be headed to Arizona for the Vikings game.
Ravens and Texans move on.
Let's Go Buffalo!
Ew not a Great start!
Ravens at Bills should be the makings of an epic AFC clash!

OL was terrible. Could stop a beach ball.
Some very good football on the weekend. I think the Bills will take KC. and Washington will beat the Eagles.
Bills haven't taken Chiefs once with Mahomes at the helm, don't expect them to now. Hoping for a three-peat, otherwise hope for Washington. Just no Bills or Eagles.

Anyone but the Chiefs, lol.

ANYONE but the Chieffs!!!
Bills are giving the chiefs a run for it today!! What an effort by Cook on the TD run!!
Eagles look like the Super Bowl winner this season.
Funny how the run game is back in the NFL.
I can't believe the athleticism by the big D tackles out there, 97 for the bills is 6'6" 340 lbs and runs like a freak, same with 98 for chiefs. I know I can outrun Jake Thomas, and these big boys could catch oliviera in a foot race!!
Eagles and the Chiefs for the Super Bowl. Should be a good game.

I've never seen a ref threaten to award a TD for repeated flagrant penalties, but I love it.
2ND and goal from the 1/2 yard line should be an automatic anyways.
Crappy, have to wait until Feb.9th for this game.

Well, I will be watching it, so I have to wait.
I'm excited. ;D

The two week break and useless pro bowl suck the life out of any excitement (not that there's much life to begin with for the Chiefs and Eagles again ::) ).
Same with adding a 17th game. The 16 game schedule was perfect: start the weekend after the Labour Day weekend which is the unofficial end of summer, then go until the weekend around New Years when many are finishing up holidays. Now instead your first Sunday after returning to work and normalcy is more regular season games (many meaningless by the last week) instead of a super fun wild card weekend to look forward to. Then you have 3 solid weeks of playoffs followed by a weekend of nothingness, and then oh yeah, I guess the super bowl is on in another week...
Could have wrapped this season up nicely last Sunday, finishing the 2024 regular season within the year 2024, and then playoffs kept to January. Completely unnecesssarily drawn out.

They're pushing themselves into the territory of the Stanley Cup and World Series where, by the time it rolls around, I've kind of forgotten it's still going on.
Well, looks like 5:30 we will finally get this game going.

Me to. Should be a great game tomorrow. Having my annual poker/football party. Always a good time. I like both organizations so it is a win win for me.
Apparently, the Jets are telling Arron Rodgers there moving on.

All Philly so far in this one. 34-0 with 1 minute left in the 3rd. Didn't see this coming.
Wow the birds laid whuppin on the chiefs , 40-14 shades of the bombers lopsided grey cup loss, goes to show you in their game it's all about who gets after it and makes plays. Eagles made plays, chiefs didn't, big play was mahomme pick six to make it 24-0, that broke them

Yeah, for sure. I wonder how Vegas made out with this score. ;)
Can a young person please explain the Superbowl halftime performance to me in a way I might be able to understand?
I assume it was a famous rapper rapping about something relevant to present day America but I have no idea what it was and what the costumes meant and what the performers were doing that was somehow relevant and profound. Thanks.
Chiefs got dusted. :D
Probably the worst SB I've every seen. Eagles D won the game, proving the "D wins championships" trope.
Did not watch half time at all, sounds like I didn't miss anything.
Sat through the first quarter with horrible audio, was that on everyone's set, or just mine. My wife set TSN5 to record it, and until mid second quarter its was horrible. Worse than Netflix's Tyson fight. Not a good look, TSN
From the Chiefs point of view, they looked a lot like the bombers in the last GC only a little worss.
Abandon the running game and dominated lost the offensive line of scrimmage.

Did you hear this comment ... "Now Mahones has something in common with Collaros ... neither one could close the deal on a 3-peat".
I suppose that's true but last time I checked football was a team game. Easy to hang a loss on the QB but there was lots of failure elsewhere too just like you alluded to above. KC O-line couldn't keep Mahones clean at all and where was the running game? Dominated by the Eagles all over the field.

The 2 games were very similar when you break it down. The Eagles and Argos came to play and made big plays on offense on defense, defense scored pick six, and the Chief's and Bomber's O line couldn't handle the pressure the Eagle's or Argos put on them, making Mahommes and Collaros look really, really bad. Big time/much talked about recievers Travis Kelce and Kenny Lawler were almost invisible in the game. Chiefs and Bombers abandoned the run , well the Cheifs had to when they were down 34-0!!!
Game is won and lost in the trenches. And in this off season, we've done nothing to beef up our interior D line--did you see the pressure the Eagles were getting from their DT's!!!, and we let an allstar guard go, and replaced him with nobody in terms of quality/proven talent, we're leaving it up to incumbent 'next man up'.
The game is won and lost in the trenches, and we're going to lose that battle on both sides of the ball again this year
Saw someone say that Mahomes hit his head in the first quarter, and was terrible after that...
I don't think the refs called a typical Chief's game, and that's why they lost.
Oh, and the Eagles played amazing.
