NFL Week 21 - The Final Four

A non Chiefs victor is most preferable for me.

We were already planning steak sandwiches and ribs/BBQ for the party I'm throwing, so an Eagles/Chiefs game would make sense culinarily.

I kinda want 49ers/Bengals for the storylines. Either Brock Purdy becomes the savior in the Bay and completely cancels Jimmy G & Trey Lance and puts Joe Burrow halfway to Jim Kelly or Burrow redeems himself for last year.

Regardless, there isn't a bad matchup in the SB this year.

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I’m mildly intrigued by the Pro Bowl for the first time ever.

Although probably not as much if Hurts is playing in it.

I honestly thought there was no game just a bunch of skills things.

How could you forget the touch football game? It could only get more exciting if they also let the players’ wives play!

That would be pretty fun.

NFL celebrity touch football would be great if Win Butler was on one of the teams taking it way too seriously.

Well that just seems racist.

Might be safer if the police release one from the chamber before the fans hit the street.

Really, really hoping that a 'Burrowhead Stadium' flag exists and they fly it in Kansas City if they win.

Good games on tap today, fellas. Shout out to San Carlos, Bronto, and TennBen.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:08 pm

Ooh, that didn’t look good with Fred Warner’s neck.

And fuck Edelman.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:17 pm

I don't think Smith caught that but not really anything clear from the angles they showed.

I'll take it tho, only bet I took this week was this game over 46.

EDIT: The one right before the commercial looks like he probably did come up with that. Would have been easy if he didn't slow up but still a great catch.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:21 pm

Nevermind, definitely not a catch. Didn't look like one in real time, and then Smith is running around trying to hurry up - I'm shocked Shanahan didn't try to challenge that.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:21 pm

Thought it was a dead giveaway that the guy who “caught” that was signaling to hurry up. But Shanahan has never been too street smart.

RIGHT???

Purdy showing the pocket awareness of lint.

I do not get the love affair with this guy.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:27 pm

That’s a fumble.

SF weak links are the QB and coach. That’s probably a bad sign for them.

I think Shanahan comes up with great Plans A. He just runs into trouble when they have to go to Plan B. That’s really like 75% of coaches in every sport, right?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:34 pm

Josh Johnson? Oh dear. That’s like a Plan Z.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:35 pm

Coulda had Baker. Coulda had that random guy the Titans used.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:38 pm

A lotta Eagles getting way too close to that punt

I'd rather play Josh Johnson than Dobbs. Not sure why people like Dobbs.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:39 pm

Did Bosa get hurt on special teams? Seriously? Doesn’t seem like a wise thing to do to have one of the most prolific pass rushers in the NFL taking part in those, no?

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:39 pm

Can we get a 10th version of Rob Gronkowski begging for military insurance? There we go!

After the break they showed video of him getting taken out on the sidelines by players blocking on the punt.

I had to Google to see if they actually used him on their punt team because it sounded super weird.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 3:54 pm

SF should use the rest of this game to evaluate Johnson. Specifically, evaluate how good he is at handing the ball off.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 4:05 pm

No way. He does know what to do. Give it to McCaffrey

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Sun Jan 29, 2023 4:08 pm

Is it me, or is the Eagles RT offsides on almost every snap??

I feel like I'm losing my mind. At least 3 separate ones where I was like... Where's the flag?

ETA - Only on pass pro

Yup. That leg kick shit is infuriating.

I feel like they've been letting tackles get away with early starts all season...as for the nitpicky calls against the 49ers on that last drive; I thought defenses were getting away with that stuff more this year.

edit: Mike Pereira calling them legitimate calls can go fuck himself. Ignore the blatant hold when the 49er defender made contact with the helmet and the Eagle defender slapping Josh Johnson's helmet on his first throw, but definetely point out that Ward continued his contact after 5 yards like defenders do on the majority of plays.

How did Johnson not get that fumble?
