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

Blame the owners. With the 2011 CBA they really limited the amount of practice you can do, and this hurt O-Line and QB development the most. Add on the owners letting grifter analytics nerds into their buildings and that's why you see the amount of retarded 4th down go for it calls.

Wow, that's almost as retarded as the new kickoff rules.

Bill Simmons will be annoying as fuck tomorrow.

Thats a throwback, I stopped listening to Simmons a decade ago.

 

[Iron Hamster]

The Patriots are going to the Goddamn Super Bowl. I know they’re likely getting stomped by, in likelihood the Seahawks, but still, you let me down again Space Rock.

Someone should check on Perna.

Yeah. AFC is a poor showing. I think Denver wins if Nix healthy.

Erin Andrews certainly had a short shelf life.

WE'RE BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND!

RIGHT WHEN YOU ALL THOUGHT THE EVIL EMPIRE WAS VANQUISHED, THE FIRST ORDER HAS RISEN.

I DON'T CARE IF WE'RE GONNA GET BTFO'ED, PATS GAHNTA SUPERBOWL. SUFFAH, COPE, SNEED YOU JEALOUS WHINY FAGGOTS

THE MEME POWER OF DRAKE MAYE WAS TOO IMMENSE FOR THE COMBINED POWER OF GOD AND ANIME IN UMAMUSUME TO CONTAIN

WE DID IT, FOXBOROUGH!

Also, just a reminder that Drake Maye has more playoff wins in one season than Dak does in a whole decade. How about them Cowboys?

I'm obligated to mention the Seahawks ability to win the Super Bowl in years a New Pope is elected. You beat the Power of Anime, but can the recovered Devil Magic beat the Power of God?

Make but not always win. They made the Super Bowl in '05 but lost to the Steelers. The game was pretty ugly and forgettable. IIRC the Seahawks got screwed by bad officiating but this was literally 20 years ago.

Water chickens looking like a well oiled machine.

Spoon is getting got on his assignments this game and I am not liking it

The officiating crew literally issued an apology for their (mis)conduct after that Super Bowl, the screwjob to get Cowher his ring was that blatant

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Hey, the Rams are actually taking the damn points when in Field Goal range, what a novel fucking concept.

Whatever Analytics Nerds/Grifters tell teams to not do that need to be fired into the sun.

 

[George Lucas]

The fix is in for the Seahawks.

ETA:

At McDarnold’s … it’s sack tonight!

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

The fix is in for the Seahawks.

Give it time - much as I'm rooting for Darnold for lulz, this is probably the highest pressure game he's ever been in.

Choking is a real possibility.

 

[Stardust_Ziggy]

Are they really showing commercials to tease the actual Super Bowl commercials now? Yikes.

>Darnold has a drive where he turns a 1st and 10 into a 4th and 20
"This is the best half I've seen from him, so far" - Tom Brady

Does botox cause super early-onset dementia? I'm not saying Darnold has been terrible, he's doing what he needs to do, but he had entire games better than this half this season

EDIT: as I hit "post" he throws a dime to JSN for an easy TD. I will now shittalk Darnold relentlessly in this thread in the hopes that the jinx continues to have an effect.

Brady yapping about shoulder blades was oddly engaging

Brady’s commentary swings wildly between insightful, terrible, and autistic hyper fixations. It’s legitimately a crapshoot which you’ll get every drive, nevermind every gam, and honestly I’m all for it.

LA speshul teams undoing them again.

 

[Trombonista]

I got to hear the end of the 2nd quarter touchdown on the radio. Jackson Smith-Njigba is amazing. I need the Seahawks to crush the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

 

[Absolutego]

lmao they're back to kicking the ball out of Shaheed's hands.
Wonder why.

JSN legit didn't even secure the ball with his other hand until he was two or three steps out of bounds, the ball didn't even wiggle when he caught it one-handed.
Felt like that catch was as much about flexing on a db who'd been chirping at him as it was about getting the score.

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Honestly I’m just amused that both teams individually have scored more points than the Broncos and Patriots combined.

This is going to be a Super Bowl Blowout, isn’t it?

It's gonna be a refball Patriots bullshit bonanza is my guess.
