2024 NFL Regular Season: g-bebe’s Lamar attempts to slay Dom’s Josh for title of mafia boss
You know, since the Super Bowl periodically i will watch the CBS Sinatra intro cuz it was ****ing magnificent. Halfway t
There’s very few people (if anyone) who are on this forum and are more **** the chefs than I am, and I will not watch a single second of this Super Bowl, but at the very least you gotta respect that what we’re watching will never happen again. Bardy had to take massively below market for a decade, Kermit took the bag and they’re still unbeatable
Jawsh and Lamar will be first ballot hall of famers but o/u 0.5 rings between them before they retire is now a reasonable discussion
All that said, seriously, **** the chefs
It's great to have a strong villain that is easy to hate. The Pats seem to have played that role for years--at least for me. It seems that the Chefs may be stepping into that void, but I just can't seem to hate them. Mock them? Yes. Hate? Not quite or not yet.

Give it 2 weeks. I can already sense the hate growing within you.
Spoiler
Chiefs being what they are is good for the NFL. Painful for some consumers but good for the overall product. You need evil empires, you need villains, you need benchmarks for other good teams (i.e. Bills, Ravens) to try and overcome for legacy, story, etc.
For those who claim they won't watch Superb Owl: okay? The last NFL game for 8 months, I'm going to watch if it's Browns-Saints.

Drinking all day, watching whatever golfer I have money on inevitably choke in Phoenix, and then lose even more money on the SB? Top 3 Sunday of the year easily. Can't imagine giving that up.
Extremely pleased that Ravens look to be extending Monken. Obviously at this point the remaining HC opportunities kind of suck. So just run it back, it would be rough for Lamar to get another OC change right at this moment. We should be just as good, only regret is we kind of had very good injury luck so hope that doesn't end.
the philly philly eagles were the necessary turbulence to disrupt all air craft flights from the clean shaven deflated balls of previous touch and go evil empire patriots
long live the images of Jason Kelce in a Mummers outfit
the reason to like the birds is not because the skill players
both sides of the line are extremely skilled and likeable
what's next is another come-uppance to those who confuse destiny with dynasty
I'm totally over the Kelces and hope to never hear either of them speak again but I wonder who Jason supports in the big game?
The failed fourth down ref call is whatever, it's never gonna be anything other than call stands after it was initially made. But the fact that this is a quarter trillion dollar business and we're relying on geriatrics squinting through ten guys who weigh 300+lbs each is hilarious.
Goal line technology is the one technology improvement every soccer fan agrees has been fantastic, can't NFL do something close to that for touchdowns at least? Obviously it's not like for like as we've already seen getting enough angles is impossible with that much action around the ball, but there's got to be something more they can do
Chip in ball seems too obvious
The problem with those technologies is there is a defined point. Like in tennis the ball hits the ground at an exact time in an exact location. In soccer you can just see if a player is offsides as soon as the ball is touched. The NFL adds a variable of if someone is down or if forward progress is stopped.
The technology might be there, but it's not as easy as using it from other sports. A chip in the ball doesn't solve the above variables.
This goes into some of the technical issues with a chip in the ball.
Add to that the issues of the chip not knowing stuff like if the player's elbow is down, if the player was pushed back (so forward progress counts) or the player pulled the ball back on their own volition (meaning no forward progress unless it's the goal line).
Although I guess the chip data can be synced up with visual data of that stuff. But it's not like the chip would just instantly know if the player got the first down for those reasons.
I eagerly await the first 'The chip says it's a first down, but all the camera angles look like it's not!' situation, which will probably go in the Chiefs' favor of course.

Bold is what I was thinking, but as you/Gus said even if it works perfectly and you can get the exact frame of when the ball touches the goal line, in the situations where you'd need it there'd likely be 10 guys all over it so you might not even get a good look at whether they're down or not.
A man can dream I suppose
Imagine the Super Bowl coming down to Eagles down 4 with the ball, first and goal at the 1. It's the 2-minute warning. Chiefs have no timeouts.
Eagles deliberately have Hurts not lose yardage, but also not score for 2 downs to run the clock down to :18 or whatever, then run the tush push on 3rd down. They have a TO so they can also run it on 4th.
That would be wild.
Might be too scared of a penalty. But they'd also be terrified of giving Mahomes the ball.
Imagine the same scenario but it's first and goal from the 5. Do they just run the tush push 4 times? Probably.
Btw, this a thing of beauty:
Danna, Reid and Tranquill basically turn themselves into the base of a cheerleader pyramid to stand up the Bills' O-line and keep them from getting low. Then Hicks delivers the blow that stops Allen in his tracks. Watson stays alert for the shenanigans.
NFL footballs do have RFID chips inside them
I'm def excited for the SB. I'll be rooting for the 3-peat, but I'll be happy as long as both teams score over 20.
we're witnessing greatness though. Maybe I'm alone on this, but I like having a really dominant teamI would have preferred the Commanders/someone else to get there other than the Iggles (for lol Philly reasons) but I'm happy the Chiefs are there. I liked it when the Pats were doing it too. fortunately I rarely go on to twitter and never listen to sports talk radio but I view
It's like you read my mind!
There’s very few people (if anyone) who are on this forum and are more **** the chefs than I am, and I will not watch a single second of this Super Bowl
Anyone who believes this is true, and if it is, anyone who believes this is by choice, I have some beachfront property to sell you. Clearly his wife has made other plans for him.
You could really improve the accuracy of short-yardage down calls by having a camera aiming right down the line to gain on both sides of the field, plus the eye in the sky right over the line. It's not perfect and it's not going to catch everything but it's better than only having one camera on one side sometimes or a camera two yards behind the line to gain etc.
The NFL of course will never do that because "reasons"
indeed. the chips serve other purposes
was responding to posts that said NFL footballs should have chips in them
as i mentioned in the game thread, this is the best of both worlds for the NFL. gives the shouting shows/radio call-in types something to chew over and talk about. ROG has to love the ref controversty that happens week-to-week in the league
