NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[tlance]

Yep....I do a playoff pool every year where you just pick the winners of every game (as you think will happen before playoffs start). Guessing could just throw darts to make some picks.

We have seen all of the top contenders (except for 1) have really poor games in the past month.

And the 1 that hasn’t is quarterbacked by a guy who has a rep for underperforming in the playoffs.

Going to be really fun to watch.

That is fine. I can’t argue with that.

But you are stating it like it is fact that FSU deserved to get in more than Alabama did.

And I think a lot of people would disagree with that.

Again, this won’t matter moving forward. I am thankful they are finally getting it right.

It's stated as a fact because it is a fact that precedent and what has been said in the past indicates that FSU was the more deserving team.

Unbeaten P5 champs have always gotten in over 1 loss P5 champs even if the 1 loss team was considered better.

Perhaps.

I hate watching AFC north games and they get broadcast in my area all the time.

But, IMO if I had to rank the teams that I want to watch in the AFC playoffs, I think I would have Cleveland 6th in front of whoever wins the AFC South.

And even then, I might prefer watching Houston if it is them.

Maybe that is just me…

But I think the average fan wants explosive offense or at least the perception of explosive offense. And yes, I do realize Flacco has outplayed Mahomes the past few weeks. But still.

Baker Mayfield has outplayed Mahomes as well.

Mahomes has never had to go on the road in the playoffs. His weapons arent that great.

Mahomes has always excelled as a front runner--- I want to see how he does as underdog with some adversity--- thus far not that impressed.

These rules don’t apply when you have media darling Alabama in the conversation. The powers that be in college football bend over for them.

Chiefs are not doing it this year.

Their tackles are weak and they have maybe the worst receiver group in the NFL.

They can win a game or 2 because Mahomes and their defense is legit. But I think they are equally likely to lose in round 1.

We shall see. Not saying they're amazing this season or anything. But now with the WiggityWack curse I like our chances better...

Last time he cursed us we got a Superbowl ring. Just sayin'...

I really hope the Bears stick with Fields

I dunno. You know they're giving Caleb a hard look...

 

[thunderc]

I dunno. You know they're giving Caleb a hard look...

He might be the most pro ready qb ever. He has issues though, they are in a good position and have lots of options.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Here we go. Endless rumors. He could have Moss and TO but if they don’t improve their OL none of it matters

 

[Shanemansj13]

I heard KC is too lol

Ain't it a little early for you to be smoking crack today...?

I heard they are thinking about trading Mahomes for Flacco in a sign-and-trade. Kelce retires and so does Waffle House man.

Yeah, only if you're reading that from the Onion...

Kelce might as well retire, he’s got too much on his mind now apparently lol

Have you taken a good look at Schwiftie? If we're going by volume it ain't all that much on his mind...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Historic 49ers offense movingthe ball. Historic Browns defense. Ravens just sitting here with the MVP and best team

 

[thunderc]

Browns fans, are they locked in to playing in KC week 1 of the playoffs?
