Early Super Bowl Talk

Texans might have something in Stroud, ran into a buzz saw of a defense last night.

Packers would be the first team to end Shanahan’s 30 game losing streak when his team is trailing by 5 or more going into the 4th quarter.

I'm wary of statistics like that. How many times out of that 30 were they only trailing by about 5?

Sorry, the stat was 7 not 5 points.

It’s a tad of a cherry pick of a stat but an interesting one.

We're in an era where you can find a random stat for anything.

I call it the over statification of sports.

We even glorified Billy Beane and Moneyball. . But the fact remains that unlike the movie, the A's never won a world series with it, nor did they get far in the playoffs either. And the A's ended up a dumpster fire.

Wide Right, the most painful words in Bills history. Just brutal for those fans.

Torture the data long enough and it will admit to anything.

Since they've announced who will be performing at the Super Bowl half time, have they said who will be doing the announcing/commentary? Sure hope it isn't Romo and "the quarterback is using his legs." over and over and over. The more excited he gets, the faster he talks and runs out of intelligent things to say and just keeps talking anyway. "Mahomes knows how important this game is." Anyone watching the game knows how important the game is. pffft.

3 more weeks! :-D

Jim Nantz was spot on with the call.

The Bills being the Bills. Doing just enough to come up short.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Totally unscientific early poll on Philly TV right now shows strong support for the Lions. A wish list, if you will.

Detroit 45%
Baltimore 33%
Kansas City 11%
San Francisco 11%

Can we assume you made it out of the elevator? Or is your phone battery just that good?

Whatever happened with the elevator you were supposedly stuck in?

 

[disney4us2002]

I wanted the Bills to win but I usually prefer the underdogs. I've had my fill of the Chiefs so I sure hope it's Ravens vs Lions in the Superbowl.

I'm not surprised San Francisco is at the bottom of the list after all the ish they talked last year only to lose the Superbowl, then next year be flying high until San Francisco smacked em around so bad they never recovered and crashed out of the playoffs first round. That 11% is probably Niners fans crashing the poll. I would have expected lower.

They still can't get her out so they dropped in a battery operated generator, food, and a poop bucket.

Now that my Packers are out of it, I guess I'll root for the Loins.

Gird up your loins!

That's the urban drawl

I've had my fill of the Chiefs

Pretty sure everyone has unless you're from Kansas City. I think most people are cheering for the Lions b/c they're such underdogs. I think the Lions are the Bengals 2022, of this superbowl. Everyone cheers for the underdogs.
