The NFL Thread

Who are you rooting for in Super Bowl 59?


  • Total voters
    101
  • Poll closed .
That’s not the refs though.
Was a reference to how much money the NFL will make in one day, none of us will even make a fraction of the millions or easily billions a Superbowl makes them, also who do you think the refs take orders from?
Edit: Not sure if i should try to be optimistic about the Seahawks next year or expect more of the same

Which identity? Schottenheimer defenses? That goes out the window when you hire a playmaker in every facet of the game like Reid.
If you are talking about the Taylor Swift phenomena that spans a whole 2 years and it is mainly for TV, you are talking couch "Chiefs Culture" which is completely irrelevant to the team.
The identity involves clinging onto the glory of one Super Bowl and while either sucking shit or barely rising above mediocrity for fifty years; that's also the identity of the Jets.

That Schottenheimer defense "identity" (as it were) died with Derrick Thomas.
 
The irony in Arch being a dual threat with his rushing talent being the only thing Texas used him for this year is fucking hilarious, better pray an AFC team doesn't have a No. 1 Overall pick next year though, otherwise he's never seeing a superbowl.
He's doomed already: The Titans have 1st pick and i can't imagine it will be long before he is thrown into the fire when mayo man keeps fucking up
 
I cant watch College. I know Americans are very into it because of the culture and all but the game is so bad.
How is college football "so bad?" The play's not as optimal as the NFL, obviously, but there's so much more variety to the college teams and their playstyles.

I'd rather watch a version of the sport with more character, infinitely more variety and pageantry, longer-standing and more intense rivalries, etc. There's no dispute that college rivalries run deeper. Plus, bad college teams don't start tanking halfway through the season, because bad teams don't recruit good players in college.

E: spelling
 
Very true. One thing you would never call a Philly sports fan is a sellout. Even if Philly were to start a dynasty in any of the big 4 tomorrow, you're not going to have a bunch of normie Disney Adults latch on to the franchise and soyify the fanbase in the sameway that Kansas City has over the last half decade.

As annoying as the pats were, I'd take a loud and obnoxious Masshole yelling racial slurs at me over some fat reddit single mother and her mulatto children soijaking over Travis ans Taylor being Wholesome Chungus 💯😱 every day of the fucking week.

Ethan Ralph should have gatekept the Chiefs fanbase harder, speaking of....yeesh
Chiefs are Reddit America's team.

Not true.

r/NFL chimps the fuck out any time Butker is mentioned, makes a point, thanks God (or literally any player thanks God like Mahomes did during his after-game interview). Not only that, but those queers seethe and cope when they hear the tomahawk chop. And what made last night amazing was you could hear the chop almost the whole game and Butker scored the winning field goal yet again. Just check the front page now and you'll see oceans of pissbaby tantrums.

I love the butt hurt the Chiefs are causing. Revenge of the flyover red state. I just want a threepeat so I can bask in the derriere devastation for a little longer.

They can lose next year. By that point the smug will be so insufferable that they'll deserve to lose but right now the malding from the rest of the league is more delicious.

Remember last year, when people ITT were psyoped into rooting for and arguing that San Fagshithole was for True and Honest le based chuds?

By Reddit fan I imagine he means casuals that came after the Swift affair. It´s funny because the usual Chiefs hater is also a casual - it´s pretty hard to be a hardcore football fan and not enjoy Reid and Spags... even Andy´s adjustment to pace the offense better - and Mahomes to adapt to it - is pretty interesting to me. I remember in the early days Mahomes was always hushing the offense with explosive plays and gassing their defense because the drives were really short.
 
I used to be a casual Bengals fan, but due to some extended family drama, I now have a deeply personal reason to enjoy watching them eat shit.

The way they have played this season I do not think the Chiefs win tonight unless the NFL wills it to be so.

That said Taylor Swift is EXTREMELY popular amongst valued demographics so this seems fairly likely.
God damn, I am a prophet.

PS: not as optimal, specially on the defensive side, is the understatement of the century.
Well, no shit. That's like saying veteran soldiers are much better at their jobs than guys who've just completed basic training.

You're comparing 18 to 22-year-olds (with strict limits to practice time, imposed by the NCAA) to professional athletes, who've already overcome the incredible odds to become an NFL player. Something like 1.5% of draft-eligible college players make an NFL roster (a few hundred out of thousands). NFL players better be more talented.

Either way, NFL games are often a slog - especially if neither team has one of the maybe 3 or 4 elite QBs in the league at a given time. Nobody gets excited for stat lines like, 17/25 for 140 yards (5.6 ypa - which is complete garbage, even in college), maybe a TD and an INT. That's conservative play-calling, which even fewer people get excited for than a QB only throwing the ball between 0-5 yards past the line of scrimmage.

What are you talking about? It took the Bills a lot of lucky breaks - the two dropped INT, a bizarre fumble, Allen heroics - and a lot of recklessness with 4th downs to stay in the game. The Chiefs were better through and through.

I´m not demanding them to be as good as NFL players, I just dont enjoy watching it. Will I have to watch peewee football because they try really hard and the games are close? I dont know why you are sperging about it, you can appreciate it as much as you like but the game is still substantively worse regardless of the motive.
 
You observed no ref influence on the outcome of this game?

ok.
There was one contentious call not even close to the final score and that wouldn´t change the fact the Chiefs were better or anything that I said on the post you responded to, regardless of what you think of that call.
 
It's still amazing to me that people forget about Brady and the Patriots. The NFL literally invented a rule for the guy, because he got hurt for a year and the Pats sucked. Also, the Patriots literally cheated, by stealing signs from teams and deflating balls (the Colts were doing it, too, in the same game).

Yet here we are. People literally believe the NFL (which really just does whatever the 32 owners want, barring mass public outcry) decided to fuck over 31 teams in favor of a small-market franchise with no historical success. And Jerry Jones, Shad Khan, Robert Kraft, etc., are all just cool with it, despite such an outcome taking money OUT of their pockets. OK, sure. Keep believing that.
