2024 NFL Game Thread – Super Bowl LIX

2024 NFL Game Thread – Super Bowl LIX

Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles

--------------------------
Kansas City Chiefs

We've all heard the talk about how the Chiefs are pre-ordained to win the Super Bowl this year. And that the NFL rigs the games to make sure the Chiefs win.

Well, I'm here to tell you that is all complete hogwash!!!

The Kansas City Chiefs are just that good and have never needed any special favors from the Refs or Rog.

Let's examine the record:

The Chiefs have played in 11 playoff games since 2021. Guess how many times the Chiefs have had more penalties called against them then their opponents?? Only once out of 11 games.

Ok that's probably not the best stat to prove there is no truth to the rumours that the NFL wants the Chiefs to win. Let's dive deeper.


How did the Chiefs do in the regular season??

Out of 68 regular season games since 2021:

27 games the Chiefs had less penalty yardage (39.7%)
38 games the Chiefs had more penalty yardage (55.9%)

Well, that should prove it right there according to Chief fans!!!!


Let's look at the playoffs!!!!

10 games the Chiefs had less penalty yardage (90.9%)
1 game the Chiefs had more penalty yardage (9.1%)

The Chiefs have gone 10-1 in those 11 playoff games with two Super Bowl wins and potentially a third on the way.

In total, the Chiefs have 36 penalties in those 11 games...their opponents have 66.

If you don't believe me here's ESPN:


But, maybe they were just meaningless “penalties” by the opposing team. Let's take a closer look:

3 total Defensive Pass Interference or Defensive Holding called on the Chiefs.
11 total Defensive Pass Interference or Defensive Holding called on their opponents.

1 total Roughing the Passer (15 yards) called on the Chiefs.
7 total Roughing the Passer (15 yards) called on their opponents.

1 total Unnecessary Roughness (15 yards) called on the Chiefs.
4 total Unnecessary Roughness (15 yards) called on their opponents.

0 total Unsportsmanlike (15 yards) called on the Chiefs.
1 total Unsportsmanlike (15 yards) called on their opponents.

The Chiefs have 18.84 Expected Points Added as a result of penalties in those 11 games and 8 of those 11 games were decided by 1 score or less.

Ok sure, that looks even worse, but look at how other teams fared in this time period!

Teams with at least 5 playoff games during this span and the net games where penalty yardage was in their favor:

Chiefs: 10-1 in their favor, net +9
Ravens: 3-2 in their favor, net +1
Rams: 4-3 in their favor, net +1
Eagles: 3-4 against them, net -1
49ers: 4-5 against them, net -1
Bills: 3-5 against them, net -2
Bucs: 2-4 against them, net -2
Bengals: 1-6 against them, net -5

The only real conclusion you can make from this is that the Chiefs are the most well-coached team that has ever played in the NFL.




Nothing to see here as usual.


Philadephia Eagles

The Iggles have the best running back in the league!


A QB that has probably been concussed about 5 times despite what the official narrative is.


THE TUSH PUSH!!!


Unfortunately for the Iggles though, nobody likes them..




But will that affect the outcome of the game???? No Way!!! Rog has your back Iggles fans!!

Best of luck Iggles fans. We all know you are going to win!!!

Can you guys move on to hating someone else now so I can enjoy fandom next year w/o every thread being about the refs?

That’d be great.

no worries

y'all won't be able to hang w the AFC Jones next season

the window is closing




Imagine if the Chefs were even vaguely competitive and this game could've turned on the Eagles' inability to get a kick off


Have the Iggles had a 5 yd penalty on all of their initial fg attempts?

The refs are the reason the Chiefs are even here. The Eagles aren’t facing the best team the AFC has to offer.

Don't even watch the NFL but this seems completely believable.


I should have gone to Disneyland.

Jesus Christ, Bardy. Not one living soul wants to hear you whine about losing.


Refs bailing out the Chiefs again! Such BS!


Sorry suzzer

The window was supposed to close three years ago and we snuck into in two SB wins before that thing slammed shut. I’ll take it.

It is tough when you don’t have a left tackle and draft 32nd each year. We need a down year.

Most folks said they'd let it go.
I'd leave it be.


Refs making sure to keep it honest.


At least that douche Siriani is happy.

Should be 47-14 if it wasn't for that terrible A.J. Brown OPI call!!


FYP

Refs making sure to keep it honest, for once.


green Gatorade


Back up QB in the SB. Ouch


One of the better baths I’ve seen.


40-12 would have been a Scorigami. Bad luck


at least the bungles have never been blown out in foosball's biggest game
