I won't let myself believe KC is going down
-
It's almost like they have a sound organizational structure built to withstand the loss of one or two guys rather than strap all hopes to one superstar. Crazy. At least it seems like that's what the Packers are trying now. Just not as good at it.
-
They literally went to one of them with their backup QB playing in the playoffs. And that's the year they won. Sorry, but Bhaktiari's injury at the very least, was not an excuse for losing a home playoff game to a .500 team as 1 seed with the MVP.
-
The one excuse I'll give McDermott if they do lose, is that I don't remember one of these games in which they were expected to win. Can't say that about MLF.
-
Buffalo is cooked. We were destined for the PHL/KC Super Sleep that nobody wants
-
I lived through all of Favre and Rodgers and I've seen the Eagles play in more Super Bowls than the Packers. Pretty disturbing reality and a very bad reflection on the Packers.
-
Honestly, there's an aspect to this that is very depressing to me as a Packers fan. Philadelphia has made 3 Super Bowls with the likes of Jalen Hurts and Nick Foles in a span of 6-7 seasons. It kinda makes that "the Super Bowl is hard to get to" refrain fall flat as an excuse for why the Packers haven't been there in 15 years. And they had a number of teams good enough to do it. Three appearances with 30 years of Favre and Rodgers just flat out isn't very good.
-
Honestly, I've never seen anything like this. I'm not a conspiracy theorist in the slightest, this game is already decided. But the Eagles get literally EVERY conceivable piece of laundry. I am expecting the late game to be similar.
-
Washington deserves to lose which is a shame. Not a single one of those fumbles was an impressive defensive play. They were a good enough team to beat Philly.
-
The difference is that in Washington's case you are still losing if you do kick the PAT. It is much easier to justify what they did than what Philly did. You're ahead by 8 already. You're fine. Just take the 2 possession lead and kick the PAT. But I still wouldn't have attempted either PAT personally, and I also don't agree, they're not equivalent situations. It's 14-12 in the second quarter, you're losing, I don't think you need to be worried yet about playing catch-up. It's not the same circumstance as padding a lead you already have. You're playing from a clear advantage in the second situation and it makes complete sense to pad the lead. I suppose just a matter of preference.
-
Buffalo is easy to root for but I'm pretty convinced they're going to lose.
-
Just don't agree. Needing an entire extra possession is a huge deal. More importantly though, the difference between 9 and 10 just isn't significant enough to put that extra possession on the line. Going up 8 is a significant advantage. All the pressure is on the opponent - they have to score AND score a 2 pt. Kick the PAT. Ensure they need the ball an extra time. It's just dumb over aggression. I wouldn't have taken Washington's attempt either, but the Philly one is just needless. The reward just isn't valuable.
-
I'd prefer to see the Bills win the AFC, but I think KC gives the best chance of Philadelphia losing.
-
Preposterous call and I don't care what the broadcast says. How is he supposed to stop?
-
That was not even a particularly big hit or helmet to ball. That thing just popped right out.
-
That's a killer. Philly is moving on.
-
If analytics are saying go for 2 and pass up the chance go up 9 with a PAT, analytics are broken.
-
Agreed. Too early to worry about tying the game.
-
Actually they don't because I specifically said Super Bowls but I didn't expect anyone to get so worked up about it. Since I also wasn't alive in the 60s I don't care all that much about those either. Here are the league standings from 1930. https://www.nfl.com/standings/league/1930/REG I bet that was a real barnburner. The Yankees and the Steam Roller were tough that year... I think it's fine to hang 13-time champions in the Hall of Fame and atrium and whatever and celebrate that history. I also think it's very silly to equate what Kansas City or New England has done lately to anything GB ever has, because they haven't. The Packers have 2 Super Bowl wins and 3 appearances since 1970. It's better than the majority of the league but nobody in their right mind would put them on a pedestal with what NE did, which has been embarrass the league for the last 20 years at the height of the sport's popularity. >The game is the easiest it's ever been. Yeah. OK. Lmao. I am not sure AJ Dillon would get tackled in 1930.
-
Yeah...something about playing the Frankford Yellow Jackets and giving up 10 points all year doesn't have the same shine to it as winning 6 times in the Super Bowl era and all of them after 2000 for me.
-
Silver lining with KC is that I'd rather see them get 8 Super Bowls than have the Pats/Brady sit on top of that mountain forever.
-
I am not going to split hairs over who wins the Super Bowl at this point, just ecstatic it isn't the douches in Detroit or the Vikings. Lions are getting closer to squandering their window. The Vikings have a potential QB problem. I have a lot of family in Philly so I am ok with them. Washington is innocuous. Buffalo would be fun to see, and KC is boring but also doesn't really bother me.
-
That's a good thing. As I've gotten older I've come to appreciate memories that can't be replicated.
-
He knew. I'm pretty certain those were tears for the end of his time with Bob, not for a heartbreaking loss.
-
I think that Uecker most likely viewed his entire life as an incredible privilege and I doubt he tied the Brewers winning the World Series to some pinnacle he had to reach. I am sure he would have loved to see it, but I don't think he thought they owed it to him or that we was less fulfilled without it - that is for the fans to do. It's as shocking as a 90 y/o passing can be. It's tough to imagine a season without his voice.
