Re: NFL Thread
You have the 3 OLmen we are looking at in quick succession - Mims, Powers-Johnson and Guyton.
Latu could really shake up the draft if his medical fails

Re: NFL Thread
Time to get some Super Bowl predictions up
For me I think the worst unit in the game is the niners defence, I think they’ve been incredibly lucky to get this far in the play offs, I think the Lions and Packers out played them and should have won those games
I think it will be a close game and niners winning won’t shock me, but I’m going:
Chiefs 24
Niners 21
Think the game winning fg comes with less than 60 second to play and the chiefs defence get the stop
The easy MVP pick is Mahomes but I was betting I’d go with Kelce and Pacheco and maybe chuck in a Chris Jones/La’Jarius Sneed bet to get a little spice on that side of the ball
I think the SF kicker Moody is going to feature in this game, I think he’ll miss a critical kick and I think Purdy might have a very consequential turn over
Maybe it’s late in the game that crushes a potential drive to take the lead or it’s early in the game in the low red zone.
If the niners win, I think it will be on the back of McCaffrey and I think it’ll be because the niners d bucks their recent trend of being pretty average and has a lights out day. Bosa wrecking shop on the Chiefs RT and interior pressure from Hargraves could shift the result

Re: NFL Thread
I think the game will be all but over by half time, with the Chiefs dominating. 9ers to get a few garbage time TDs to make the score respectable. 28 - 20.

Re: NFL Thread
Both Cheifs and 9ers aren't great vs the Run, 9ers are good runners, Cheifs don't like to run... even if they have 3 decent runners.
Cheifs pass D is AMAZING.... but 9ers have 3 very good options in Deebo, Aiuyk and Kittle, not to mention CMC outta the backfield.
9ers have 2 ridiculous LBs, so Kelse might have his hands full. That said, their backend can be got... but can the Cheifs WRs catch it to capitalise??
I feel like this game is really well balanced. But tipping the scales is Mahomes, coz well.... TBC GOAT.
I too am backing the Chiefs between 3-7. I'll go 31-27, Chiefs.

KC were pretty ordinary this year. SF have had one less game which is huge in contact sports and I believe this is the third game in a row KC are underdogs. Difficult to win three on the bounce like that.
Nothing shocking about it IMO.

Re: NFL Thread
49ers are a bit lucky to be there. Scraped past Packers. Lions had the game in the bag till they fell in a hole. Fluke play was a turning point.President Clinton wrote: ↑February 12, 2024, 9:16 amReally?Northern Raider wrote: ↑February 12, 2024, 9:11 am Quite shocked the Chiefs are underdogs in betting.

By contrast Chiefs are in hot form after beating Dolphins are home then Bills and Ravens on the road. Much higher quality of opposition IMO.
Chiefs also take a ton of SB winning experience into the game.

Re: NFL Thread
Scoreless 1st QTR, although 49ers look the better team. Costly fumble on their first drive. Chiefs struggling to move the chains.

10-3 to 49ers at the half. Going to be a whole new game to start the 2nd half. Feels like it's about to open up.

Re: NFL Thread
I think the broadcast spent more time watching Taylor Swift than the actual game
Re: NFL Thread
First 3 quarters were pretty boring, but the game came alive in the 4th, and OT was great. How can anyone not like Mahomes? Such a talent and good dude as well

Re: NFL Thread
Yeah it was a bludger a game up till 4th Quarter. Came alive after that. Mahomes was quite poor for most of the game then stepped up when it counted.

Just give him the GOAT, add the required yds, TDs, etc etc to take him past Brady. Skip the 2 decades of him winning.

Re: NFL Thread
One thing about the refs. I was damn hard to get a holding call. At least they were consistently ignoring it.

Terrible game, very sloppy through 3 qtrs but the final qtr and overtime was amazing
Incredible that the cheifs won, with everything that happened this year, in a down year and it just didn’t matter because they’ve got Mahomes and that’s all that matters
Hands down the best player I’ve ever seen play the sport. Don’t care if he never wins another sb again, no one has played this sport at a higher level than he has through 6 years. Outrageous
Some tweets that encapsulate my take aways from this game
Re: NFL Thread
VERY physical game and they let a lot go and then in a key spot, in OT on 3rd and 4, the officials AGAIN, for the 3rd straight year interject with a flag that flies in the face of the standard they set throughout the gameNorthern Raider wrote: ↑February 12, 2024, 4:11 pm One thing about the refs.

Bengals, Eagles and this year Chiefs. These mfers just cant help themselves in a big moment.
I said it in the Bengals game, reiterated it last year with the eagles and now again this year... you can not call a game one way for 58 (or in this case, 60!) minutes and let them be physical and then decide randomly to throw the flag for what you've been letting go at the end of the game
At least this year, the call didnt basically end the game

Re: NFL Thread
Pretty anticlimactic way to end the season if you ask me.
Having Baltimore or Lions in there would have made it much more fun.
Anyway, when one door closes (NFL), another one opens (NRL).

They had the niners, dead to **** rights, had em... horiffic 3rd qtr where absolutely everything went wrong flips that game
and you know what? Given how that game played out today, the Lions might be god damn SB champs right now if they close that game out.

Re: NFL Thread
I've seen the winning play, plus about 3 others.
I see Greenlaw blew his achillies. I'm guessing this made a difference. Poor SOB gets a SB loss AND a horrible injury

Re: NFL Thread
This might only be interesting to me, and it's painful... but the Chiefs game winning touchdown, same concept and pre snap motion that essentially won them the SB last year
The chiefs call it corndog... WR motions pre snap into the formation and then comes back out, forces the DB's to pass off the motion and then pick it up back up... stresses rules and discipline from DBs.
Eagles and Niners both got caught passing off the motion but didnt execute in picking it back up with proper assignments. Eagles admittedly didnt pick it up at all, Niners did pick it up, but too late... this is why i am excited to hopefully get more motion in the Eagles offence, if used correctly and with purpose it can put a great deal of stress on a defence.

Let's face it, we all know, if your opponent has a running start, it makes it harder to catch up.
Re: NFL Thread
Greenlaw injury absolutely CRITICAL to the game.
1. He was playing LIGHTS out. Man he was moving. He and Warner were just absolutely everywhere. Big part of the chiefs being held to 3 at the half
2. the guy who came in for Greenlaw... not great! didnt fit the run very well and im FAIRLY sure on the MVS touchdown he **** up. That was WIDE ASS open. Eager to hear some pods to know if anyone who knows more about x's and o's than me can explain it but my reading of that Coverage bust and i think he was supposed to carry the seam. Greenlaw is a very buttoned up player. He'd have not blown that assignment.
They also got Kelce going once Greenlaw left the game.
