But he didn't turn him around. The guy was running his route. The Blaylock tweet makes no sense. The first one *was* more holding.

Think there was enough there that the first should have been PI. He tees off like most did on the contact after the hold that was called for the second one when it was the jersey tug on the pivot that drew the flag. Even if there was holding later in the play, the ref who threw the flag wouldn't have seen from where he was standing.

Actually had more of an issue w/ some hits late, that really good pop on Pacheco the defender led w/ the crown of his helmet, and then did it again a play or two later. Would prefer they flag that before it leads to a more serious injury.

Apparently the play that they took the lead with was called Corn Dog, lol.

An all-time level game that was marred by all the "catch" stuff on multiple occasions---the results of overregulation and muddying of the waters of interpretation. A wholly predictable progression over the last however many years. Also the questionable call at the end and the terrible field conditions. That field was completely unacceptable for any professional league. Especially with then touting the special nature of it and how much it cost and the process by which they crafted the field. It was a mess from the start, with players slipping early. ****in what's his name almost broke his ankle on kickoff. Just embarrassing.

Also didn't feel like the Super Bowl tbh. Maybe it's because I watched alone this year or the absolutely awful commercials and musical acts for the anthem and halftime, or not necessarily hating either team or having a true feel for how the game would go. Not sure what it was, but it didn't feel like it. Also Bradberry could claim the hold all he wants---nobody's saying there wasn't a grab but the question is whether it really was enough to be that decisive. I'm of the thought the Chiefs score anyway, but time would have allowed for the Eagles to have a potential better shot.

Despite that, an unbelievable game and not the way I expected it to unfold. I thought the Chiefs would blow them out. Multiple stellar individual performances, memorable big plays, defensive touchdown(s), excellence in route running, playcalling creativity and special teams (the really nice Toney presnap motion fake for his TD, then later the stellar blitz by the Chiefs on that third down forcing a punt, and the Toney punt return to put them in great field position and the play design resulting in the TD after the return to Moore which was a mirror of the Toney TD play are some standout plays) and so on.

OH, and that that Mahomes run to put them in FG range? That run put him in the Hall. Cemented everything and gave him that direct, defining moment. Especially with the legend of the ankle. My God.

These are all things that should be being talked about but unfortunately not. Maybe in due time.


I just have to say **** Travis Kelce. I've hated that guy for so long already. He's always been one of the dirtiest, bitchmade thug players in this league and incredibly annoying on and off the field otherwise. Constantly bitching at refs, etc. His post-game display was laughable and infuriating. Yeah cool story guy, everyone really doubted the team that's dominated the last 5 years. The Chiefs had no shot. Total surprise. Big underdog. Wow how could this have happened. All they have is a HOF QB, perhaps the best TE ever, one of the best coaches of all-time and yeah, again, have ****in dominated for years now.

"EVERYBODY DOUBTED US! Put some respect on our NAME!" Unbelievable. ****in' bawls on this guy. It's amazing that his brother is even his brother. Infinitely more likable.

This is the type of **** that actually DOES get KC hated. And everyone is gonna think it's because they're too successful. No it's because *******s like Travis Kelce (much like Brady before him) act like he and his team are some bottom feeders who overcame the ****ing world like they're ****ing Rocky Balboa and ****. Get out of here with that inferiority insecurity complex garbage.

Damn dude, why did you watch lol

Honestly? I got this feeling as well.

For me I think it was the tepid crowd more than anything else. The audience for each of the conference championship games two weeks ago was far louder and more active than what we heard from the attendees last night (with a notable exception granted to the contingent of Eagles fans booing the Hall Of Famers who wrong their team in the past lol). The people who can actually afford to attend the Super Bowl anymore quite often sit on their hands.

I thought it was a great game, and I guess ultimately that's what matters, but it would have come across even better on television with a rocking crowd.

It didn't really feel like a Super Bowl to me either. No offense to Burkhardt/Olson, but no Buck/Aikman probably contributed to that.

Re: Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

I thought the logo looked cool, but yeah other than that it had a regular game feel

Re: Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

I also felt the same. The commercials were mostly terrible too.

Brutal headline in Philly. Kinda become a little bit of an Eagles fan w/ how they handled themselves for the Super Bowl, at least compared to things like the media-whipped rhetoric around the Bengals game.

Those Rugby-like QB sneaks are just so wild to me still. Not sure how you beat that, outside of something similar on the other side (get low / stack pushers), but you can't really do that without exposing your defense to other options (like faking it and tossing out to a RB)

If you've never watched Rugby before... lots of complete matches on Youtube. It's wild. No interest in ever watching it again, but at a LAN last month some guy made us watcha game while we played because a friend played for some team. First I'd ever really seen of it.

I like rugby, especially 7s, Idunno what the rules are, but it's a fun watch

you got me wondering about fake eagle sneaks though, same organization that produced philly special, maybe a rugby statue play is next? or a philly phumblerooski?

You know, you may be on to something.

I like Burkhardt and Olson, but as much as people hate him, Joe Buck came to be synonymous with "big game." He's got the perfect voice and was getting better and better every year for sure.

If it wasn't Buck, and it wasn't Michaels or Nantz or whatever, then it was a tall order.

Production matters.

And unique matters too. They need to go back to unique logo designs and epic opening promos and so on.

The Super Bowl often does fall to the "once the game starts it feels like any other game" unfortunately. I think only Wrestlemania feels like Wrestlemania the whole way through, usually anyway. I don't know.

Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

Y’all already know how I feel about Olsen and Burkholdt. Been ranting all year about how any game with them just seems regular and boring.

Like even if it was the Game of the Week, it never felt like that when those 2 were calling the game.

And unless FOX can somehow convince Gus Johnson to do NFL games again, their big games won’t have that *feel* to it again.

Re: Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

I felt the same way as those of you who were not charged up watching this Super Bowl and I agree with almost everything you all have said.

Throughout the game, I kept wanting to fast-forward to the final 2 minutes just to get to the outcome. I also thought about the announcing team and how homogenous they were (not to mention they are nobodies on the landscape of teams that have called a Super Bowl).

Yes, the logos have become dull and drab since they've become standardized. They aren't memorable, they're boring and they don't inspire the imagination. When I see a Super Bowl XIV logo or a Super Bowl XX logo or a Super Bowl XXXII logo I'm taken back to that game. Back to watching it. Back to the big plays and back to where I was when it happened.

Show me a Super Bowl LVII logo years from now and I'll probably think "which game was that and who was in it".

Everything about the thing feels forced and sterile. The pregame is canned (here's the feel-good stories this year and PLEASE get emotionally charged by 9/11 again). The broadcast was not memorable and the broadcast team had no personality. The cookie-cutter trophy presentation is not worth watching anymore unless it's your team getting the trophy.

During the game, I wondered if it's just me getting old and that's probably part of it but - yeah - it was not compelling in any way.

Re: Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

The game was good but it felt like each offense was inevitable and that was getting a bit bland by the end. There were very few defensive highlights.

Re: Super Bowl LVII: (1)Philadelphia Eagles vs. (1)Kansas City Chiefs

McKinnon not scoring and going down at the 1 lost me 30k.

Bad beat of a lifetime.

Unbelievable.

If you post the ticket and @ some gambling personalities like Cousin Sal, you might get something out of it. Couldn't hurt I guess.
