NFL SuperBowl LIV - 2/2/2020

[VF21]

Are you ready for some football?

Two games today and two games tomorrow will take care of the wildcard slots for this season.

Today we've got:
Bills at Texans
Titans at Patriots

Sunday:
Vikings at Saints
Seahawks at Eagles

I'm adding a poll although I know it's really late. Most of the people who participate in the NFL discussions are pretty well known to each other, however, so I think we could just about predict what each other will choose.

I'M READY FOR SOME (MORE) FOOTBALL!

NOTE: The poll is multiple choice as you need to select the winner in each of the four matchups.

 

[VF21]

Texans
Patriots
Saints
Eagles (Yeah, I know there's probably not a chance in the world, but I'd love to see the hawks (see what I did there) flushed in the wildcard game.)

Bills — I guess? Really just blindly guessing on this one. I’ll pick the team with Frank Gore on it.

Pats — Never going to count them out, even though it seems really possible this may be it for them.

Saints — Too good.

Eagles — Because I really really really don’t want Round 3 against the Hawks.

 

[SLAB]

Lol what a fun start! Love me some trick plays!

 

[Warhawk]

I voted who I want to win, not necessarily who will.

 

[Kingz19]

Lol what a bunch of BS

Edit: Fixed it

 

[SLAB]

Man oh man, Houston. Not good.

 

[SLAB]

I freakin’ love Frank Gore still doing his thing.

Choke

 

[SLAB]

This game has gone off the rails. Both teams. Lol

 

[Kingz19]

Could only imagine how Booger McFarlane would call this interesting 4th quarter by Josh Allen if it was Jimmy G instead.

 

[SLAB]

HOW WAS THAT A FIRST DOWN?!

Even the review booth has lost their mind!!!

 

[VF21]

If all the playoffs games are like this one (I'm loving it BTW), we football fans are in for some real fun the next few weeks.

 

[Kingz19]

Booger is an idiot

15 seconds left. Quick draw play on 3rd down to get a little closer and then regroup and spike it. Guess that’s why he played defense

It was ruled a first down. I think their logic was that since he wasn't initially downed by contact, the ball was in play until he was touched. With the various angles, it was honestly pretty hard to tell if the nose of the ball was over the line when the defender touched him. If there's not compelling evidence to overturn, the play has to stand.

Oh boy! Overtime!!!

More adult beverage for me.

 

[Kingz19]

Hauscha has never missed a field goal ever

That might be my favorite comment for 2020 so far. I like it so much, in fact, it might be my default comment for a variety of situations.

I thought they ruled him short first. Makes more sense, but between the angles it looked like you could pretty conclusively show he was down early.

Oh well, I’m loving this.

 

[SLAB]

Booger continues to talk up Josh Allen for some reason despite his rough late-game.

—

Helluva play there though.

 

[SLAB]

Garbage prevent defense. NEVER PLAY IT!

 

[Kingz19]

The game clock is irrelevant under these circumstances. You just need downs and the play clock lol

 

[VF21]

I haven't watched much of the Bills this year. Josh Allen is exciting and fun ... and scary. He looks like he doesn't realize he's a freaking QB.

 

[Kingz19]

How do you miss that sack? Unbelievable

 

[SLAB]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[SLAB]

Block it. Continue the insanity.

 

[Kingz19]

The two rushers negated eachothers dead to rights sack. The momentum of each kept him upward

I guess that’s the luck that keeps you without a playoff win in what will now be 25 years

 

[VF21]

Smart call by the Texans. Kick the FG and move on.

 

[VF21]

Okay, on to game 2.

GO TITANS! Let Tom Brady's last game in Foxborough be a loss.

 

[SLAB]

Go Pats. The Super Bowl needs to end in Brady handing the torch to JimmyG.

Go Pats. The Super Bowl needs to end in Brady handing the torch to JimmyG.

Are you out of your freaking mind? There's NO WAY I want the Pats in the Super Bowl against the Niners. None. I'm old. I have blood pressure issues. That game would make my heart explode - I'm sure of it.
