True.

Still trying to figure out why people are saying this game was fixed...............

I just think when you have so many big penalties one way like both games today you are going to have talk of favoritism by the refs on social media. Mostly sour grapes of course. I can’t say there was one penalty called in either game that was really egregious IMO.

I didn’t care too much who won the late game but even still I was hoping they didn’t throw the flag for the late hit. It was indeed a penalty but you hate seeing a game decided like that. It wasn’t much of a hit so I thought they might hold it, but it’s Mahomes and an injured Mahomes at that so I knew it was coming. dumb play and clearly out of bounds

I was talking about tonight.

I would honestly take Philly for the SB, i think they will win it, but it is a very tough call. I typically avoid games where it's a coin flip.

It's all luck. Impossible to predict outcomes with any consistency. If there were really a way to figure out the identity of the better team, everyone would be rich.

He told the Cincinnati mayor to shut his mouth and know his role haha.

It would have been even better if he said "and that's not the real Hamlin!"

It is idiotic to suggest the 31-7 blowout game was scripted. Once Purdy went down, the game was over.
It was a fucking miracle that they scored 7 points with a 4th string QB. They were done once they had zero quarterbacks.

The 49ers failed to run a single play in the red zone for the first time ever.
The 49ers did not run a single play on the Eagles side of the field in the last 40 minutes.

Unless you think the Purdy injury was staged like a fake moon landing, that game was not rigged.
The 49ers were an elite team with elite talent everywhere except one position, but they were always lacking at QB talent and depth.

Today it finally came back to hurt them, not the officials.

Idea for Bengals. actually fix the oline this time.

?

They did. Injuries happened.

 

[msgkings322]

Mahomes is good but not the reason they won. Hold your horses.

What are you talking about?

 

[Dude]

What are you talking about?

Maybe ask yourself the same question.

 

[jarntt]

That shit is volatile. Just saw that flipped on Fan Duel and now 10 minutes later it’s Eagles -1.5

Yeah my Caesar’s app switched from pick’em to eagles -1 now

I don't think so. Certain games you can tell who is going to win 99% of the time...The reason most people lose money in sports betting is because most take the higher payouts which are the teams most likely to lose.

I bet for fun tho...It makes the games more exciting...The rest of my money is in the stock market SPY and QQQ

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Oh REAL fucking classy, Kelce

It's always a proud day where you can stand up against your daddies.

 

[Thruthefog]

The consolation game was a lot more entertaining than the superbowl. The niners ran out of QBs that could throw the ball.

excuse me, What are you babbling about?

What happened

I turned it off

 

[Dude]

What are you talking about?

I am friend with some Chiefs fans outside of this forum. Major props to Mahomes, don’t read it wrong.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

What are you talking about?

I mean, Mahomes didn't single-handedly win this game but he clearly was a major difference-maker. Just the fact that, unlike Burrow, he protected the ball was huge.

It was a dumb play, but beyond that play, it seemed like every call in the 4th quarter benefited the chiefs. I am never one to talk about officiating, either, but this game just felt weird.

Sports betting

 

[Rowdy]

It's all scripted, like WWE.

That's what everyone is implying

Now don’t tell judge pro wrestling is fake

It felt like they really really really didn't want the Bengals to win, and they almost did lol

Just an observation from a fan with no fight in who wins

All that shit talking all week and you guy's are going home with moist eyes? Fuck you, you deserve it.
