  1. Oh goodie, we are gonna get ANOTHER fucking realignment thread
  2. This is Trump's America. Approval aside before he came along the country had shifted to the good old days of most people either approving or at least not outright disapproving of an incoming President. Then it shifted up to 10-20% range from the 80s on. Now a third or more of the country is pissed from the jump....not even the black man in the brown suit could get this country that pissed off.
  3. Sounds like a life well lived. Sorry for your loss, keep the faith.
  4. The shit show rolls on in KISD. Board meeting tomorrow night
  5. Two things Philly has going for it. Cheesesteaks and Monk's Cafe. Why Monk's Cafe you ask? Well besides very good food it is one of the very few places outside of California that gets Russian River beers distributed to it (they also have a lot of other very hard to come by stuff). One of the best spots for beer in the US, if not the world. https://www.monkscafe.com/on-tap https://www.monkscafe.com/bottles
  6. Knowing it used to be this way this was my logic from the NFC Champ game thread I have a more philosophical issue with it and that is that I think any offensive player should be responsible for his own forward progress. That means once your forward progress is stopped, nobody can help you. Your forward progress can't be intentionally aided by others as a part of play design, it can't be guys pushing you forward when you get bottled up 7 yards down field (un-designed) etc etc. Once you are stopped, you are stopped. So it wouldn't just be this play, though this is the most obvious example. The game is so tilted to the offense across all levels of play that I feel stripping offenses of this one advantage is a reasonable position. Others may disagree.
  7. But which one is more expensive on the open market?
  8. The data would suggest they are not driving fans away.
  9. Has anybody seen that white Yoda that looks like Jerry Jones? I hear it's good.
  10. Super Bowl is perfectly split at 27-27 between NFL/NFC vs AFL/AFC. AFC is 17-10 since ending the 13-year NFC winning streak, which is where so many of those blowouts happened. Since that streak ended the >2TD victories have been Denver over Atlanta Baltimore over New York Tampa Bay over Oakland Seattle over Denver Tampa Bay over Kansas City
  11. The thing is this. It's not a Chiefs conspiracy. The Chiefs are a really talented football team. They often put teams in situations like this where there are slim margins that then get left up to human vision, judgment and yes at times unconscious bias. The Chiefs play in a lot of really big games so those human flaws get magnified. A lot of folks have talked about how the NFL needs to use technology to solve for the spotting of the ball, "chip the ball" they say. And I 100% agree, but I also realize it isn't just "chipping the ball". Spotting the ball in many situations is at a minimum a two-variable issue. One variable is where the ball is. The other variable is where is every part of the ball carrier's body with the exception of his hands in relation to the ground (ie when was he down). In other situations where he doesn't go down, it's when was the whistle blown and where was the ball (forward progress stopped) In some situations video/audio makes that easy. Synch up the video/audio to the chip in the ball. I think they should be looking at this with all expediency. That said there are still going to be those times (think piles of bodies around the goal line, etc) where the video isn't going to help there so that system also won't be perfect. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be working on it.
  12. Yea he had a broken hand back half of 2022
  13. The Tariff Wars are over. At least for today.
  14. Those two played essentially to a draw, the stats are almost identical yards-wise wise with Mahomes having 1 passing TD and 2 running TDs and Allen with 2 passing TDs. Mahomes had the one fumble which directly led to Bills points to sort of cancel out his one TD overall lead. The margin you are speaking of was going for 2 early, not getting it, chasing it, not getting it. Statistically, it doesn't get much closer than this....even TOP (which I cut off) was only one minute in Buffalo's favor.
  15. I always laugh at the idea that the NFL is tilting things for a team from FUCKING Kansas City. As a Mavs fan I hated the Spurs but it's akin to when dipshits walked the earth thinking that the NBA was willing a team from San Antonio (another one horse pro team town) to all those titles.
  16. The Chiefs are old news but here's the deal and there is really no way around it. Fuck everything associated with Philadelphia sports.
  17. Well Detroit and Buffalo can keep each other warm in perpetual Loser Land. Sucks, was hoping for something different this year. Happy for X and Omenihu.
  18. LOL at CBS spotters fucking up there being a flag on that play.
  19. Well I mean they have to DECIDE on the play they call when they go for it here 😎
  20. Josh Allen is going to fumble a football at some point....
