Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Congrats to Bronto and sorry to BFJ. I was rooting for Lamar to win the ‘chip just to shut up those shitty GOP. Of course, those goalpost-moving motherfuckers would just say that her have to win more.

I think that on that taunting call, Flowers managed to check off all 3 components of taunting. Pushed him in the shoulder so he couldn't get up, hit him with the ball, and stood over him. Mind you, those are all stupid things that should't be illegal but still!
Should have been PI on the end zone pick. Irrelevant that the ball was picked before that. It was in the air, going in Likely's direction and he got hit before the INT.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Lamar seemed so desperate to prove he’s not just a running a QB he kept passing up open running lanes to keep taking terrible shots down field. You’re the fastest guy on the field man…take the easy yards.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Romo actually made a good point, every decision to run seemed to be a second or two too late.

The Chiefs secondary was amazing, but he looked completely mediocre out there.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
He was also right about Lamar’s overthrows taking away the chance to draw a PI when/if the receiver pulls up. Should have learned from franchise legend Joe Flacco.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: NFL Conference Championships week
I think the fact he threw it into triple coverage with the ball behind the receiver had a lot to do with the fact PI wasn't called.Jerloma wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 6:26 pm I think that on that taunting call, Flowers managed to check off all 3 components of taunting.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Even if Lamar overthrows it, if a dude gets hit before the ball gets there it’s illegal contact and 5 yards and an automatic first.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Ravens only ran the ball 16 times if I saw the right stat. And a number of those were Lamar scrambles. That’s…an odd gameplan for by far the best rushing team in the league this year.

Yeah lower bowl only but they sold it out in 5 hours. Should raise a few million for charity.

I laughed about that part. I would have loved if he showed his second Super Bowl ring.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
and thanks y'all -- this is a run to not be taken for granted. it's fun, especially with the acceptance of how unique it is and that losing a playoff game is hardly the end of the world when your team is doing stuff like this after I went the first 30+ years of my life wondering if they'd ever go to a Super Bowl.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
Man, Penei Sewell is crazy good on running plays. When do you ever see the RT pulling as the lead blocker eight yards downfield on sweep plays? And just think how terrifying that would be for the DB, seeing him bearing down on you? It’s like staring down the Juggernaut.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
This is just utter domination. I knew the Lions were good and had a legit shot but didn't see this coming.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
the 49ers defense had been sneakily not good recently but there's nothing sneaky about this so far

Speaking of Jersey every time someone says “Penei Sewell” my wife thinks they’re talking about a pasta dish.

I love the aggressiveness but I would have kicked the FG there.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
yeah, I don't understand not wanting to re-establish the 3-possession lead you had at half eight minutes into the third

The only thing I will say is I don’t know how much faith they really have in Badgley.

And SC, maybe back in the 80s when the NFC champ would steamroll poor Elway and the Broncos, but at least since 2000, the Super Bowls have been fantastic. I just went through in my head, and starting with Rams-Titans 15 of them have been at very least close and entertaining.
Anyway totally rooting for the Lions. And the Chefs, want a SFJ today.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
How is this game tied right now? It feels like the Lions should be ahead by 20 points based on the run of play. Turnover have such an effect.
