NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Super Bowl discussion thread (Poll)

Really dumb to take the ball first in OT with the new rules. Massive advantage to the team that goes second. They get to use 4 downs where the first team probably only gets 3.

Personally I wish they would go back to the OG OT rules. Sudden death and that's it. If it's not "fair" then win it in regulation.

SF lost that game in the 3rd quarter.
Shanahan consistency in not running the ball up 2 scores will never fail

It's 4 down territory Jim!

Saw this stat on another site. These are the top playoff win percentages over the last 25 years

Patriots* .689
Rams* .650
Broncos* .636
Ravens* .593
Bucs* .588
Giants* .588
49ers+ .571
Steelers* .552

Every single one of these teams won atleast 2 rings. Pats (01, 03, 04, 14, 16, 18), Rams (1999, 2021), Broncos (98, 15), Ravens (2000, 2012), Bucs (2002, 2020), Giants (2007, 2011), Steelers (04, 08). They combine for 18 of the 25 Super Bowls going back to the 1998 season).

The 49'ers are the only team in that list to not have multiple Super Bowls, and they don't even have a single Super Bowl.

LOL at Romo saying it was 4 down territory for the 49ers on their side of the field on the first drive of OT.

You mean 4 down territory like this Tony?

Shanahan thought his defense was gassed and they were. The real problem was on the 49ers final drive Deebo dropped an easy catch, Aiyuk committed a false start penalty, a lineman committed a holding penalty and the Chief's defense held them to a field goal.

The 49ers should have won the game handily, they turned the ball over, made mistakes at inopportune times and spots on the field.

The 49ers were less disciplined and blinked first... they lost.

Thinking about the 9ers kicker Moody Blues, who missed the extra point before the game went into OT. Wasn’t he the guy BB was doing the heavy breathing over? And after he was picked, we reached for Ryland who struggled mightily after _not_ beating out veteran Folk?

If KC's OL was the standard for holding, the niner lineman did not commit holding.

Ok..kicker at #3..

It's seasons like this that make wonder if Adam should get in the Hall. Where we once thought he was a lock guys like Tucker and this latest crop with guys like Butker make me think they shouldn't open this gate.

Not to Mention Adam is eligible next year and if he gets in before Rodney that will be ridiculous.

Neither Mahomes or Andy Reid could get over the playoff hump until Reid hired Steve Spags to coach the defense. Since that time they’ve become one of the best D’s in the NFL and won three rings.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Flacco? Really?

Right, he was incredible with his purposeful under throw to the wr and have him comeback and draw contact for the pi off the defender at the spot of the foul. His bread and butter.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

You not use to it by now?

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

he had his best shot in '88... couldn't get it done... fryar, morgan, francis, stephens, etc...

No. He had as much to do with taking a team going nowhere fast to the brink of the playoffs as Brady did in '01 and he was benched. For a bum. That is not a 'shot'...It is Shot In The Back

canadian records mean exactly what? nada

Amazing accomplishments for a person who can't run, can't throw and is too short

your assertions are based on fiction... reality says otherwise.

Again, your opinion is supported by overwhelming reality about Flutie's career trajectory, and 'conventional wisdom'.

Neither of which is accurate barometer of his ability.

You're behaving as though Brady always was nothing more than a 'system quarterback' and 'couldn't throw the long ball'

on the field

Plunkett has company in Layne, Grogan, Namath and others with more career picks than TD's. Unitas & Fouts, to name two, only barely had positive ratios.

as for stabler, he had already won one super bowl, no reason to think he couldn't have gotten the job done

Easily the silliest group of posts I've seen you make.

'Snake' racked up wins and stats (like Bledsoe) and Mr. 'Sea Of Hands' 'Holy Roller' was given a Super Bowl that was stolen from us.

Us. The New England Patriots. This is our fan site.

Simply put, Aikman/Elway/Kelly/Young/Favre/Moon could not and did not do what Flutie did with what he had, and none of them was treated like garbage as Flutie was. Had they been, none of them would ever have been nearly as personally successful.

I feel terribly for everyone who sat through what I think was the 7th longest game in NFL history only to have such a sickening ending.

Totally get being in a bad mood.

Shanahan gave KC too much time to tie after they kicked the FG to lead with over a minute remaining.

The score was never out of reach for KC to come back on. Purdy is OK, but 3 out of 12 3rd down conversions is FAIL.

Why if God's name didn't they run the ball here on 3rd and 4? Was the passing game working so well?



If they run the ball here either it forces KC to burn a timeout or it leaves them with about 1 minute and 15 seconds to score.

Massive advantage to the team that goes second. They get to use 4 downs where the first team probably only gets 3.

But if you score a TD going first, you have a massive advantage (unless they go for 2 points and make it) - 3rd possession is sudden death, and with those kickers and 4 downs to work with, it's a pretty sure win.
