Holy cow! My hairline receded three inches by the end of that game.
They saved the best for last. Can't remember so many good games in one weekend. The NFL must be rubbing it's hands in glee. These games this weekend have made a fan out of me again. Been a long time since I was this entertained by pro football. Congrats to the winners, all surprises. Don't know who will win the KC/Buffalo game but it doesn't matter as it has been such fun. OT, here we come. -- AlSo far, 3 games with 3 walk-off FGs to win. NFL has had a good weekend even if BP's everywhere are spiking and have fans everywhere running for their RX's. -- Al
Crazy stuff this weekend. Three road teams win on the final play. KC/Buffalo OT shootout. Sports is an enormous waste of time and logically there is no reason to care why one group of random guys wins a game against another, but couldn't help myself. Watched it all. Where are George and Brad?
I tend to be on both sides of playoff overtime rules.
Essentially if the Niners won a game under those circumstances then it is a great way to play, if they lose it needs to be changed.
However in the 11 playoff games that have gone to overtime with the current rules, 10 of those games have been won by the team that won the coin toss. 7 of those were won without the opposing offense even getting the ball.
Maybe it is time to change the overtime rules.
I'm doubling down on my Rams this week. At home with the Super Bowl on the line against the Niners. Forget about it. They are in win now mode. If they can't win this one and end the six-game drought to SF, then it will never happen. KC will just outscore the Bengals. KC has an awful defense but Mahomes is playing off the charts.
Predicts:
Rams 27
49ers 23
KC 38
Cincy 27
The Niners have been running on luck and magic while LA has the talent and skill.
While I continue to hope for a win, luck and magic generally run out while talent and skill does not.
It's a huge game for the Rams who have basically put all their chips on the table to win this year. Hopefully the stadium is not full of SF fans like the last game. That was embarrassing. The Niners must have a huge fan base. I was at lunch today here in Central PA where the temps were about 10 degrees and at the table next to me were several folks wearing SF jerseys. Unreal. I guess that is a legacy of the dynasty years. A few teams like the Steelers, Cowboys, and Packers seem to have that large national following.
Combat:
Having traveled throughout the country quite a bit over the past few years I too have noticed Niner gear just about everywhere.
It seems to be non-scientific evidence that the Bay Area exodus is real.
But let’s forget about all that now, that is another topic for another day.
Best of luck to you and the Rams.
May the best team win.
