Game Thread: Super Bowl LIX: Chefs vs Elgses

[Schmoopy1000]

So the big day is finally here. Would have loved to see a Bills or Bengals against Lions SB, but I’ll take it. I guess the best teams finally made it to the big dance, so good luck to both teams and cheers to a good game! And to as few TS sightings as possible, hopefully none.

well she is the Halftime Show So.......

Seriously though. This might be the 1st Superbowl where I actually am not excited to watch it.
Yes. I will still watch it, but havent been watching anything about going on to it the past two weeks, nor this morning.
In fact. I still have to go look up when it starts & what channel. Commercials arent what they were in the old days either.
Simply not the spectacle I am looking forward to this year. At all. Might be the most Meh Superbowl I ever waited to see.

interesting thoughts.
A. I think the eagles when breaking down positions or areas have the advantage. Although in some areas only slightly. Except for 2 spots.
Coaching. Completely underrated when talking of strength of a team, & the QB position. Those two things may very well counteract the Eagles being the better team overall. So its gonna be an interesting game.

now for B.
Postseason Chiefs. Seems to be the nail in the other teams coffin is if they get up by more than one score. Seems like that is when the Chiefs go into Chiefs mode & the other team just fails. So a suggestion to the Eagles. Keep the game inside of one score when you try to win.

Problem with that theory this year. That is where the Chiefs has been making their living. Keeping games close. Winning one score games.

Obviously the defenses are key as in any Superbowl, but for the Eagles to win. The key will be Barkley. Can he do what he has been doing all year? If so. We could have a cockblock on History & the 3 peat.
If not.
3peat is in!

You're wrong on B.

Bringing it back to Bill Burr. He said it best when he said it's not rigged but massaged. Keeping it within one score invites the refs to stick their nose into the game where it DOESN'T belong. The Eagles need to be up 2 scores or more.

Well common Sense says yeah. If you are the Eagles you want to be up by as much as possible.
Point I make is recent History says that is their doom.
I still remember watching the 1st Chiefs/Niners Superbowl (with Jimmy G)
I remember telling someone. If ther Niners kick a FG they could win. If they score a TD they will lose. The person thought I was dumb AF.
After the Niners scored the TD. That was it. The Chiefs came roaring back & took over the game. Pretty much that is how the Chiefs post seasons has been.
Now waiting to go up two scores late in the game. That might be a different outcome Who knows.

but yes. No matter what History says. I would want as big of a lead as possible.

but Barkley will be the Key denominator. Good or bad.

All the right people are here on this thread starting with SharkonaBike!! Too funny as usual!! And next, Picklerick is def a must!!

I'm still boring old sober pickle. That's gonna change in two hours. Go chiefs. I gagged a bit there, hang on.... Fuck the eagles!!! Ok, that feels a bit more natural.

At the start of the season I had Lions v Chiefs so in the vacuum of Goff playing poorly then Id certainly agree. I do think on paper the Ravens had the best team but they are too volatile to beat multiple great teams in a row it seems.

The last Eagles-Chiefs SB was an excellent game so I'm pumped.

That was the right pick as at the start of the season Detroit didn't have half their defense (including their best defender) on IR

The newer Star Wars movies should be the most expensive movies of all time. Had they been well made, they probably would've had Disney set for a decade of good will.

If you factor in inflation I wonder if some of the old timey big productions would be on that list (Cleopatra, Gone With The Wind, etc).

Google says I'm way wrong here, even adjusted for inflation the highest cost movies are all recent.

I believe Gone With The Wind is still in the top 10 for box office, adjusted for inflation.

Google says I was very correct about this:

I suspect this is due to there being far more things people do today than go to the movies, including waiting to see them at home.

I'm sorry is this still the Super Bowl thread?

 

[msgkings322]

Can’t win em all brother. I just think the Birds had the better of the play last time and weren’t experienced enough to finish it. 2 blown coverages on the goal line with the same action, the Hurts unforced fumble TD, a hold on the slowest WR in football that wasn’t even needed, a terrible use of the long halftime, etc… The Eagles are just better. Mahomes Reid and Spags are awesome but not sure they can overcome the difference in roster. A lesser Eagles team and defense beat this team in Arrowhead last year.

The most important position in all sports is helmed by the GOAT, for the other team. That's a big roster difference.

But I hope you're right
