I think it is gonna be Philly's year. They have got all elements to win in SB. Smart, mobile QB, best wr duo: Brown, Smith in NFL, Goedert as TE, Sanders and his best season. Additionally good defense with over 70 sacks in regular season. Four players ( Reddick,Graham, Hargreaves and Sweat ) with over than 10 sacks. Quite impressive.
The game with hurtling SF would be challenging but Eagles like I said have assets to beat them.

Really starting to dislike this Bengals team; I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so ****y that hasn’t won anything. I dislike the Chiefs, but I think I’m kind of rooting for them to crush the Bengals Sunday.

how in the world could someone dislike the Bengals and support the Chiefs, like what the heck whats there to dislike?
**** the chiefs and everything associated with them

Or a $1000 for a table at a bar outside the stadium that included nothing but the privilege to sit there.

We parked in a lot near all the bars. No tailgating, had a dude who took his job very seriously let us know there was no tailgating. However, the lot directly across from us, in what we couldn't differentiate as to why, allowed tailgating. It appeared to be the same parking area for the mall/bar/restaurant area. We paid before they put up no tailgating signs, so we had no idea and mr security would not give us a refund. His boss came over saw our coolers and fortunately for us, we by chance packed all the beer at the bottom and the waters and soda's at the top with the food. Dude let us stay and "tailgate with our deli meats".

Was this the 2007 Super Bowl? Parking was not bad, I want to say it was about $20. 2011 Super Bowl parking near Lucas in Indy was $700. I parked for free about .5 miles away and walked in.

Also, were you at the Atlanta Super Bowl?

Bengals will beat chiefs imo. Mahomes didn't look that good. He has a high ankle sprain so he won't be as mobile.

On the other end I think it's gonna be the eagles. Shanahan has been scheming up Brock purdy but I honestly don't think anything he has done is that impressive. At some point you are going to need your QB to win you the game and Hes still a rookie. Hes poised and running the offense well but I don't think he's any better than Jimmy G was this year.

I'm starting to understand how the 31 other fan bases felt when the Pats were in the SB every other year: Not the Chefs again!

Mahomes will play regardless of the high ankle sprain. Couldn't have been that bad from his reactions on the sidelines and fact he came back to play. I guess not all high ankle sprains are the same.

Tony pollard had the same injury against '9ners guy ends up with a broken leg.. just shows how serious those injuries can be..

NFL tried their hardest, Forgot to get Burrow on board.

JB he has every right to feel his team was down right disrespected by the league.. I always felt JB has better vision and accuracy than Allen does.. with those burners at WR how can they be overlooked!

Line flipped from chiefs at 1.5 to bengals at 1.5. Pretty big move

It was the Seattle SB in 2014. And yes I was in Atlanta, Houston as well for the Atlanta game. We borrow a TV from Walmart, rent a car and watch the game while tailgating near the stadium. We learned our lesson in Phoenix, don't hangout on the ground level. So many assholes walking by wearing team gear from teams that hadn't sniffed a SB in 20 or more years if ever.

So in Houston we started using the top level of parking garages. That way only people parked up there would be walking by.

So the sharks jumped on the Bungles early, eh

I wish the Casino boss would let us take early spreads instead of having to wait until everything has settled down. It would be a nightmare to keep up w/ that though.

I wonder (hope) they are getting some inside info on mahomes ankle. Who knows, from the few times ive paid attention to these they have mostly been a strong predictor… but the ones ive seen been closer to kickoff

 

[yukon cornelius]

the eagles on paper are a solid, solid group.......but really, they had a soft schedule, i would not be surprised to see san fran win a superbowl 53 type game

mahomes is going to give it a go, but if it is a legit high ankle sprain, he's going to be limited......and i think cinci wins this one even if he's healthy

i 100% do not understand the bengal dislike.......they are not a hard team to root for imho

I certainly admire the job they did getting that offensive line to play so will. I thought Carman would be a turnstile but he was more of a beast. They were the key to the game.

I hope the Chiefs and Bengals live up to the hype. Specifically Mahomes and Burrow. After that incredibly disappointing showing by Allen and the Bills this past weekend. The Bills still win the East next season but that team have more problems that I thought.

The quarterback winner of this game assumes the top spot in the NFL. Mahomes vs Burrow could be taking shape as the new Manning vs Brady. Burrow, being the Brady of the comp, has much better WRs than Brady ever had this early in his career. Chase, Higgins and Boyd are probably the top trio in the NFL.

I like the Eagles in the NFC. Purdy looked a bit shaky this past weekend but Dak was so bad on the other side that you hardly noticed. Hurts has a golden opportunity to become the first of the new generation of running quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl. I thought it would be Allen or Lamar but Hurts has become a very strong representative from that group. I think the Eagles and 49ers are relatively equal but I give the Eagles the advantage because of the quarterback.

burrows knows his offense well......they keep his progressions and reads "simple" in that everything is well thought out with a solid plan, it allows him to go through things quickly, make his decision and get the ball out quickly

that certainly helps an OL, they get the ball out quick (that was a Brady/NEP hallmark for years).....it also helps him stand in there a little bit in the face of pressure, as he tends to "know" that someone is going to break open or give him a shot to get a pass into a window, simply because he trusts that the window is going to be there
