2022-2023 NFL Season

None of it felt like it was worth it, but that's just me.

He's probably beyond Brett Favre territory now. Everyone gets to wait and see if he finally quits. I hope he keeps coming back at this point. Good lesson that sometimes it isn't all about you.

At least Favre's arm was still lively. TB was lucky not to have about 5 INT's last night.

Was really pulling for Buffalo, but man, Joe Burrow is just the man. Any team looking at how to build around a young QB (Bears?) should take note of what Cincinnati has done there. Really great stuff.

Bengals have the Chiefs' number, and Mahomes has a bad ankle. I'm going with Burrow's Bengals.

The NFC Championship Game just screams betting the under. (45.5) Two very good defenses.

The ND alumni factor has me going for the 49ers with McGlinchey and Banks on the OL. Niners vs Bengals, Part III

Speaking of ND alumni boy that Giants game was a bummer. Seemed like every time the Eagles made a big play there was Julian Love missing a tackle. Jaylon Smith had a few as well and McCloud (not sure if we count him or not) was also picked on some, although I blame the coaches for that as he is not a slot corner and that's how they were using him.

Niners vs Bengals episode 3? There's Super Bowl 23, but what was episode 2?

That was episode 2, episode 1 was Super Bowl 16 for the 1981 season.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Ah forgot about that one

Montana beat them twice on either end of the 80s… the first one is still the most watched Super Bowl ever if I remember right

Yep - I believe it's the only super bowl that has had a 49 or above rating

I've kind of adopted Buffalo as my 2nd favorite team. Big Josh Allen fan. If there was a team that I wanted to win the SB besides my Cowboys, it was Buffalo. But, I also think the Bengals is a good story. In truth, football has a lot of them these days. Very enjoyable NFL product.

With the Cowboys now out, I told my close friend (a Niners Super Fan), that I'll be cheering for them the rest of the way. Why not.

If they beat Philly, he wants a rematch with the Chiefs though I also think it'll be the Bengals.

Jacksonville’s game plan of just not covering Travis Kelce was wild. He’s the only pass catcher worth a damn on KC and they refused to game plan around him.

Right now I’d say the Eagles are the favorites to win it all. They are so good on both sides of the ball.

Bengals backup OL did well against Buffalo, and might do okay against KC...

But if they get past KC, they need to get Alex Cappa back and healthy on the interior to deal with Philly. Any game left is a dogfight, but I worry most about Philly's DEEEEEEEEP DL rotation. Obviously if it's San Fran, Bosa is a game-wrecker, but I have faith that Burrow/Taylor/Callahan can deal with him via gameplan, the way they do with most elite edge rushers (except TJ Watt, apparently).

Gotta get past KC and a gimpy Mahomes first, regardless, which is not a given, even with how Cincy looked against Buffalo. Beating a team like KC in two straight matchups is hard enough... the Bengals will need to make it four(!)-in-a-row against Reid and Mahomes if they want to play in the Super Bowl again. That's tough.

Looked like they lost their mojo for a little bit, but if their game against the Giants was an indicator that the found it, they will be a tough out.

Burrows understands the game and is proof that what's between the ears is priority #1 when finding a QB.

Dak Prescott hot outplayed by a rookie Mr. Irrelevant.

The NFC won 13 straight Super Bowls in the mid 80's to late 90's. During that stretch Denver lost 3 in 4 years, Buffalo lost 4 in 4 years.

The three SB's Denver lost, the beat Cleveland each time in the AFC Championship game.
The four SB's Buffalo lost were not close after the first loss to the Giants.

The modern Kansas City Chiefs under Mahomes are starting to feel more like those three teams, the Bill's, Broncos, and Brown's of the 80's and 90's.

Thank you for reminding. I’m almost forgot

I think the winner of the NFC Championship wins the Super Bowl. The Eagles look really good but they're -3 at home vs the Niners, which is practically a push.

Looking at this past season, whatever Brady might have gained isn't even remotely close to all that he lost.

The “He will” was pretty nice up until the Tracy Porter play in ‘09

I’m sure it’s a thing,… there’s always some dumb outlier on any topic,… is it a thing that’s large enough for anyone other than Uyger to use to fight his imaginary monster(s)?? That’s the question

There is a growing group of people (trolls?) on Twitter who are on every Bills (and some Bengals!) post about last weekends game, saying that it's suspicious that they never showed Damar's face clearly, even when he was walking through the tunnel.

It wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world for the Bills to fake his attendance* for motivational purposes, I guess...

But to say that he was cloned to cover up his vaccine-related death? We're beyond tinfoil hats lol







* I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY DID THIS

If they were truly smart enough to pull this off without getting caught, they should have been smart enough to have won the game. Really should have been a collaborative effort from top to bottom, you know?

Thanks for clarifying, though.

Turns out that Jeff Saturday is getting a second interview with the Colts...

They going to clone Peyton Manning? Seems to be a thing in the AFC according to some.

I guess some hiring practices when it comes to coaches don't always make the most sense to me and this is one of them. Perhaps they wind up proving a lot of people wrong in the end.

 

[NDdomer2]

Frank Reich gets the Panthers job.

Dan Quinn returns to Dallas as DC. Maybe he's thinking the Cowboys job is open next year.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I like Frank Reich. Not surprised at all he's received a second opportunity.

 

[ACamp1900]

In walks the drunk Browns fan giddy with Bengals fury and belly full of whisky and tacos,…

Love that call at the end,…it was brilliant since it made people needlessly suffer. Joe Burrow, what can I say about your wardrobe that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan. Patrick Mahomes, you look like a bootleg Ice Tea!! Now excuse me, I need to go put water in Zac Taylor’s momma’s dish.
