The NFL Thread - Root for your favorite team (or laugh at the Browns, whichever's easier)

[Poop A Loop]

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.

The defensive PIs and holding calls were way more infuriating... that spawned a trend to underthrow and get a foul that still survives to this day.

It doesn't help that the NFL wants games to end 45-42, so defense gets nerfed every fucking off-season. Similar to the NBA - remember when a team scoring 100 points was a lot? Now, 130 is common.

You feel there was only one call that could have been contested the entire game?

That is an interesting perspective.

I think it got quite better in the latest seasons... maybe less ball shuckers, more running game and mobile QBs. better Safety play (or more people committed against the long ball) kinda found a balance so there were dramatically less PIs, not necessarily better refs.

Yes, only the 4th down at KC 41. Do you think the reception was a contentious call? And again, it doesn´t change anything from the post you first responded to.

Could have been worse I guess. Could have lost by 1 if they kicked those extra points.

This is something that's been pissing me off lately. I heard several teams' coaching staffs upstairs have started using AI to make these decisions and it's absolute fucking disaster. I don't know who fucking is responsible for this but coming the off season, either it needs to be improved or they need to be fired. The AI has no concept of the clock and the possibility they can miss the 2 point conversion is completely lost on them for some reason. All they do is tunnel vision on on the 4 & 5 point differences. It's been absolutely infuriating. You don't chase points when you have an entire fucking half of football left to play.

Allen was on his back foot for a good chunk of the game, and the Bills had butterfingers.

They were only in the game because of the aggressiveness, the same mentality that pushed them for the 2pt conversions was part of going for all those 4th downs... and if there is an AI aid to play callers, it obviously factor in clock and game scenarios.
The first one was from the 1yd line and was an obvious "go" btw, they initially went for the extra point and got the foul.

I think the only drop for them was Kincaid´s, no?

This POV gets repeated so much it's probably going to be Taylor Swift's next hit song.

I get the Swifties are annoying and all (especially when you live in Chiefs Kingdom and now have to deal with such bandwagoners), but is KC really that obnoxious that y'all now will pull for Philly? The city with America's most churlish sports fans who throw batteries at their own players and booed Santa Claus?

To be fair, without serious Refball and Goddellball shenanigans, the Chiefs should rightfully lose against Philly in an absolute slaughter. The Eagles are better now than they've ever been in my opinion. Barkley put them into an entirely different category of offensive threats. Plus the Chiefs are on the downswing having gone to the playoffs and Super Bowl for multiple seasons in a row and losing players. This Chiefs team is not as good as the last one that faced the Eagles. I think without Rogerball taking effect, they'd lose and handily.

The NFL better watch their backs too because people are catching on to their blatant cheating and getting really pissed off. Every single game this post season involving the Chiefs has been decided by Refball. People are asking questions and demanding changes. They're getting very lazy about hiding their cheating. I know it's not talked about, but remember how rigged last years Super Bowl was? There was no game clock last year lol. The Chiefs had infinite time to win. OT was just "Well, you just play another entire game of football until the Chiefs win".
