America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

I wasn’t good in math but I counted only 8 teams with winning records in the AFC.

Initial reports are sprained ankle. Still... how you let the Bengals with a backup QB beat you on MNF?

C'mon, man.

Guess I’m not so good wif numbas either…

Some weird calls and weird no calls.

Even though I'm a Packer fan there were some bad calls at the end of the game that could have changed the outcome.

1) The personal foul call around the 1 minute mark for the hit on Mahomes near the sideline as he was trying to run for the first down was a bad call. It was a clean hit while he was still in bounds. The Chiefs benefited from a bad call.

2) The non-call for pass interference on Valdes-Scantling’s with like 50 seconds left in the game was a bad non-call. That was an obvious PI. The Packers benefited from a non-call.

3) The non-call on the maybe or maybe not pass interference on Kelce in the Hail Mary (last play of the game) could have gone either way but I would still side with a non-call as being the right call. It was a slight shove within a pool of people trying to catch or knock down the ball. Letter of the law (rules) and if it wasn't in a group of people but it was just a single pass catcher and defender, I guess you should call it. Officials are not there to decide the game on petty maybe/maybe not infractions in the heat of the moment chaos and also can't see everything little thing happening in a mass of bodies.

That non-call on the PI was bad. You could see it a mile away and you didn't need slow mo to or freeze frame to determine that.

The personal fowl on Mahomes was also a bad call but I can see how it might have been questionable in the heat of the moment. The rules nowadays are slanted to keep keep the quarterbacks pristine especially the big names. OK, so throw the flag then send it up to the booth be reviewed.

After review, it was clear that he was in the field of play, didn't slide or try to safely get out of bounds, he was trying to get the first down. The hit was legal. The penalty is over ruled. No penalty yards marked off, no automatic 1st down. 3rd down and inches, restart the play clock.

She was there. But only saw one shot of her, iirc, it was at the end of the 1st quarter.

The Packers are classy, TS and Mahomes’ wife got a suite, unlike the nose-bleed open-air seats Jordan Love’s Mom and GF had when GB played at KC.

Did she offer him vegetables?

Dunno if this belongs in the Politics forum but why TF is something Sean McDermott said 4 years ago in a team meeting (…and immediately apologized for it…) suddenly being brought up?

The media just can’t let things be, can’t they?

Da Chiefs can't pull it off... they had a couple chances...

“We”?

Sold their souls for a Super Bowl title but the young skill players do provide some hope.

But how much longer will Stafford play? ‘Cause obviously the QBs they currently have, don’t cut it.

When you are WR, with a clear view of the football, you should never be offside.

Andy Reid. Moahomes. He was offsides. STFU.

To me, Toney definitely f’d up. Him and him alone. Not only ‘cause he lined up offsides but also because he didn’t check with the head linesman / line judge to make sure he was onside. It’s normal to do that pre-snap and since he didn’t, it’s not up to the HL / LJ to tell him to move back.

I also think the Chiefs miss Eric Bieniemy more than anyone wants to admit.

I really, really dislike the DallASS Cowjerks... but I did need them to beat Philly so the Niners had a shot at the #1 seed.

I feel dirty. Tough spot to be in... sorry Rammie.

Don't be, never can predict how it will go on game day.

Eagles need to get their act together real soon.

^^This
And, Reid and Mahomes crying about it was a bad look.
Just because it didnt “impact the play” don’t mean chit!
And, it wasnt like he was barely in the neutral zone………look at the pic.
Obvious and stupid, noobish play.
Hate to say it but Collinsworth is right. When you pay your quarterback that kind of $$$, you have to “save” somewhere else.
For da Chiefs, its at WR and cornerback……………it may catch up to them.

Still, a crushing loss for the Chiefs.

Speaking of crushing losses…
Eagles go from number 1 seed, to number 5 with Dallas loss………..from hosting every playoff game, to potentially being on the road for every playoff game…
Ouch…

You mean what a freakin' play it wasn't.

Agree. And to augment your point about “cheaping out”, there’s a reason why the Packers didn’t resign MVS and the NYG traded Toney. Both players will have great moments but also moments when they literally break your heart. Also, although he may be a young 34, Kelce will, at sometime, start showing his age and his production will not match his pay. The Chiefs are gonna hafta get lucky and find a gem(s) in the draft as their salary cap situation will get only worse.

San Fran seems to have weathered their storm and peaking at the right time. Iffin’ they can avoid the injury bug the rest of the way, I’d put them as the odds-on favorite to make and even win the Super Bowl.

I just saw a clip with Andy Reid and he said that Toney DIDN’T check with the ref so it wasn’t the refs (…but Andy still did whine a bit…).

So I keep hearing this talked about by the "sports commentators" that Brock Purdy is a "system quarterback". They say he just distributes the ball to Christain McCaffery, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk...

So then, what the f--k was Joe Montana? He had Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Brent Jones, John Taylor, Jerry Rice... arguably a much better O-line.. and that defense was killer.

Give the kid the respect he's due for f--k's sake. Anybody gonna tell me Joe's teammates were NOT better than what Purdy has??

Good QBs always have notable receivers because they make them shine. When ppl say Montana wouldn't have been as good without Rice, I say Rice wouldn't have been as good without Montana. Them together was a dream team but a superstar QB can get any receiver who doesn't have the dropsies receptions and yardage.

49'er hater here...mostly because Joe Montana kept eating the Rams' lunch back in the 80's when the Rams had an historically good team...this after the Rams owned the 49'ers in the 70s...then along came Joe...

in those days, the QB called the plays...Joe didn't execute a system, so to speak...the number of times Joe beat the Rams with his head, arm or his feet at crunch time and his playoff record has convinced me he's the best QB ever...

Hold on young fella! Stats don’t tell you the whole story.

Terry had a cannon for an arm and although the Steelers had two great RBs during their dynasty run, they still would take deep shots. Fo’ sure Terry could spin it and loved to throw it long. And, being a bit of a gunslinger, probably threw it when he shouldn’t have.

Another thing to note is that the no-contact rule past 5 yards wasn’t put in till 1978 so receivers could be continually mugged until the ball was in the air. Consequently, less completions and more interceptions were the norm. QBs hitting on 55%, let alone 60% of their passes was the exception, not the rule. Bradshaw played 8 out of his 14 years prior to the rule change so his TD-to-INT ratio reflects that.

So, looking at Terry’s career, NFL regular season MVP, 4 Super Bowl appearances, 4 Super Bowl wins, back-to-back Super Bowl MVPs, I’d say he had a pretty good career. In fact, if you dig deeper into his career win-loss stats, both regular season and playoffs, they’re similar to Montana’s!

Btw, I’mma so franking old that I saw Lynn Swann play in a California vs. Hawaii high school all-star game in 1970 and lemme tell you, it didn’t take too long to realize that Swann was a very special player. Iirc, he returned a punt for a TD and had unmatched speed.

The Chiefs should also acknowledge it was an illegal formation….the RG was way too far back as well. Just saw a pic.

Purdy is a great QB, you can’t call a QB that is able to throw anticipating a spot as a system QB. Windows are tight in the NFL, accuracy and anticipation are key, and it’s not common to get that paired with the ability to read a defense and have enough athleticism to present an issue for the defenses.

Watched the new documentary, “Bart Starr: America’s Quarterback” on the SEC Network. I was a big fan of his while growing up but still learned or was reminded of a few personal things today.
