[UConnSwag11]

We’re all Bills fans tonight

Fun start to the eagles commandos game

Can’t stand either of the Super Bowl teams it’s going to be tough to watch.

I'm disappointed Bills didn't get in. So I'm going to root for the Eagles for only one reason - it's going to piss off Steelers nation to no end that Kenny Pickett will have as many SB rings as Mike Tomlin.

I'm rooting for the Chiefs because it will piss off the Philly and Boston fanbase.

The two teams I said I wished weren't in the Superbowl at the start of the season. The NFL needs to stop refs from gifting the favored team possessions and treating QBs like it's flag football.

I'll probably just throw on LOTR. I'm sure my wife will want to watch the half-time show.

Maybe im blind but I didn't see a conspiracy yesterday, if there was one then Washington was definetly in on it. Well I hope it's rigged in the Chiefs favor because they're playing the Eagles.

Chiefs have been getting favorable calls all season, and it was a first down yesterday.

 

[Deepster]

My hot take for the last 2 years has been Josh Allen will never play in a Super Bowl. A) He's going to have Mahomes (likely playing in KC) for his entire career, B) He also has Lamar Jackson along with Burrow and CJ Stroud as hurdles in the conference and C) I think he's got a little bit of the gag artist in him.

As for the Super Bowl? I like Mahomes. I think the "Chiefs getting calls" conspiracy theory is tired (especially after watching Tom the China Doll Brady for decades) and I think the Chiefs play sensational team football in every aspect of the game. No problem rooting for them to three peat.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Ugh…I’m over KelSwift (I just made that up) so I’m an Eagles fan for this one given my PA residency. I do like Saquon since his PSU days also.

That said, Philly fans are still the worst fanbase in America.

It was very close but it was not a first down, certainly not enough to get overturned. Bills had their chances and choked.

 

[Husky25]

It was a first down, but it should not have been needed. It should have been 1st and 10 after Dalton Kincaid achieved the line to gain the play before on 3rd down. There were other questionable calls and non-calls yesterday as well.

Daron Payne was out again for Washington, but they have been doing it with mirrors all season and into the playoffs when it comes to their run defense. Nothing was stopping Saquon last night. 14-6 with a dynamic QB and 80Million in cap space. Washington is set up to be good for the next half decade.

The Bills' window is closing.

Go Birds!

And D) as Allen gets older, he will be less able to rely on his legs. He's a more talented Cam Newton, and his career went south as soon as he hit 30.

 

[Husky25]

So Hurts can hard count, knowing the defense is trying to time the snap, but should be awarded a touchdown because someone is going to get hurt?

What is there to gain by hard counting on 1st down on the 1/2 yardline in the first place.

I prefer the Eagles to win next Sunday, but this is dirty pool by them.

Separate, but related: who would be the least surprised if the Eagles were called for lining up in the neutral zone?

Nick Sirianni on tush push penalty: I told the refs, they keep doing this, it can be a TD

The referee's announcement on Sunday that the Eagles could be awarded a touchdown if the Commanders didn't stop jumping offside as the Eagles tried to score with a tush push came as a surprise to many football fans.

All sorts of rumors Kelce will retire and propose after the game. I know it annoys some people, but they seem like a good match. If you're Taylor Swift it can't be easy to meet an actual down to earth normal guy. Kylie Kelce is pretty funny. She's a die hard Eagles fan. I didn't know her story meeting Jason until recently. She was still in college and met him on tinder. She and her friend realized he looked like Jason Kelce from the Eagles, assumed somebody was joking with her but they went to meet him anyway. It was him. He used to stay over in her dorm and do the morning walk of shame.

I'm rooting for KC for the obvious reasons. I was really hoping the Lions would get in and face Buffalo simply so somebody different can finally win.

 

[Husky25]

I'm over people complaining about "KelSwift," So they show her a few times a game. So what? She's a good looking woman. They showed Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson when they were dating Tony Romo and I don't remember anyone complained to this degree. Nor did anyone really complain about Katherine Webb at the 2013 FBS Championship game. In fact it seemed Musburger wanted more coverage. IDK, I guess I just don't really pay that much attention to it so it doesn't really bother me.

Eagles fans (truly awful) and their manipulation of the rules notwithstanding, I prefer green and white confetti fall from the Superdome. That said, it really is a dislikable matchup.

To me the only difference in the 2 QBs is Kelce catches that and Kincaid dropped it. Otherwise it’s dead even. Add he has McDermott and Mohames has a HOFer for a coach with Andy.

Yeah......but someone does something every year to somehow prevent Josh Allen from getting to a Super Bowl. And you could say Kincaid dropping it cost them the game...I could easily say Allen looked nervous and off the mark in the 1st quarter and that cost them.

End of the day, with the stats he has, Allen is starting to get a stink on him.

And 3 more super bowls and more mvps.

Don’t forget every call that means anything and Coach Reid.

Hey Mahomes is the best no doubt, clutch and just makes plays. But the difference in the 2 is minimal the games and scores prove it, even they with the calls leaning one way!

I don't know, Mau.

Mahomes has been in the league 7 years and his worst finishes were 2 losses in the AFC championship game (both in OT). The other 5 seasons he's made the Super Bowl and won 3 of them. They are 17-2 so far this year.

The difference between him and Josh Allen is huge....and saying it's because of lopsiding refereeing is lazy. You might be watching the greatest QB of all time in Mahomes....and the next Dan Fouts in Allen.

QB sneak to the left every time while Cook was cookin’ was incredibly dumb on the Bill’s part. Chiefs knew what was coming.

That said, there’s always at least a couple of questionable calls in critical situations that go the Chiefs way in close games.

I don’t dislike the Chiefs and do think Mahomes is incredible, I just hope Philly takes them down this time around. I’m off to throw up now…
