Quote from: dd on February 10, 2025, 02:09:05 AMWow 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.

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.

Two Bills FA signings, Ogunjobi and Hoecht both facing 6 games suspensions for PEDs.

NFL fines Falcons, DC for Sanders prank call

What a garbage organization.

What a garbage organization.

I think a fine is fine.

Seriously, it was a hilarious prank. Especially with the Sanders level of hubris.

Is it stepping on a guy when he's down? Yes it is.

But guys who are full of themselves like Sanders are asking for this kind of treatment. And, if he hadn't been so cocky, he would have realized it was a prank and hung up. But it fed into his personal overblown ego.

Oddly, this prank had him drafted below his expectations, but he still fell for it.

I think it was almost as humbling as falling as far as he did in the draft. If he takes it to heart, and accepts it was on him, he can come out the other side a better man and player. But if he maintains the victim role, its not going to end well for him.

In my humble opinion.
