twiztor Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Eagles fan checking in. disappointed with the result but it was a good game to cap off an overachieving season. was the holding call at the end bad? yeah. but that is hardly the reason the Eagles lost. it had a lot more to do with leaving receivers wide open multiple times, giving up an almost record length punt return, and not delivering on offense in the 2nd half. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Tonight's game swung on the Eagles kicking a field goal on 4th and 6 from the 15, and the Eagles punting on 4th and 3 from their 32, two calls that every or almost every NFL coach would have made. Eagles turned a 3 point lead into a 6 point lead, and then quickly gave up a go-ahead TD, then the punt was returned 65 yards and turned into another TD. No NFL coach is prepared to make the decisions necessary to fully out-sprint the Chiefs offense. You'd need to be Mike Leach levels of aggressive to make a run at it. The Eagles converted 11 third down conversions and 2 fourth downs and that still wasn't enough in a game where Hurts outpassed Mahomes by 100+ yards. Like if Hurts had thrown for 182 and got beat by Mahomes throwing for 304, then everybody would have been like "yeah, that makes sense" but it was the opposite. The best pass offense got outpassed and beat the best run offense (and also outran them) The Chiefs should still tinker a bit over this offseason before any other AFC West team really emerges. I'm not really expecting 4 Super Bowls in 5 years. Add a receiver and let one go and embrace that the system might get your receivers paid as free agents?

Lawful Metal Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What a great call by the ref there! We all know why we watch the Super Bowl! To see the ref make the game winning call! Pure fucking garbage for the Chiefs to be the beneficiary of controversial last minute plays that essentially hand them the game AGAIN. Let them fucking play. You can’t make that call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnathon Pearce is very annoying. It's not Robot Wars. I'm thankful that the 99p NFL GamePass Super Bowl offer spared me from 4 hours of JP.

I think I read he was hired to help the Eagles offense on how to score against the KC defense, not necessarily to help with the Eagles defense. So maybe he was moderately successful. Wonder what the pay was for two weeks of consulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The set of downs that swung the game Third quarter, Eagles have the ball in the red zone (19 yard line). Get sacked on first down. Incomplete pass second down. 5 yards on third down. Kick a field goal on 4th and 6 from the 15. That field goal turned a one score lead into a one score lead and it was the final result of a 7+ minute drive. Chiefs take the lead with 12:08 left. Then the Eagles go three and out, the record punt return, and the Chiefs have an 8 point lead about 7 minutes after that field goal.

Doc Townsend Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Seems like more chit-chat at work about the halftime show than the game itself. That’s good, I guess, if you’re young and hip. I think it’s just reminding the rest of us that we’re closer to getting a tap on the shoulder from the Grim Reaper than we’d like to think.

Tabe Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Could put this in the broadcasting thread but I'll put it here: Terry Bradshaw is getting some heat for his comments to Andy Reid after the game. Bradshaw told Reid to "waddle over here" and "have a cheeseburger on me". Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I'm pretty non plussed about the whole game as I was hoping the Eagles would win and watching leave Kelce or JSS wide open over and over again was infuriating. The halftime show sucked. Not remotely close to how good last year was, which was up there with the Prince show for me. I also don't like halftime shows when it's just one star and one star only going through the motions through their catalog, like with the Weeknd. This was marginally better for the Weeknd. I think my biggest takeaway was she looked gorgeous pregnant and props to her for doing some of that shit on high up platforms while pregnant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister TV Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What's with all of the "I'm an old who doesn't know who Rihanna is" her first album which sold a ton came out in 2005 and her next two released in 2006 and 2007 sold even more, and her albums after that sold tons. It's not like she's someone who popped up a few years ago. The halftime show was ok, I think her being pregnant, it being on FOX and next years most likely being insane since its in Las Vegas caused them to tone things down some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @Doc Townsendis 81 years old, we have a wide variety of age groups here I love Rihanna (I'm 39 and very young and hip) so I enjoyed the show, although her being pregnant which wasn't known beforehand did throw me off a bit. Wonder if it would have been better to announce it beforehand so fans didn't spend too much time trying to determine if she was pregnant or just had on an unusual outfit that made her figure look different. That's personal information of course that people can tell whenever they are ready, but they had to know it would be a bit of a distraction for inquisitive minds.

cubbymark Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 My sister could care less about football, but she was excited about the Rihanna halftime show. She kept trolling me with, "WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK" leading up to the halftime show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Terry's dumb ass is still even on tv. Now, the cheeseburger thing is a little more innocent. Reid's thing is that he's like this cheeseburger connoisseur. There were a bunch of news stories about it leading up to the game. Edited February 13, 2023 by Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 FINAL SUPERB OWL UPDATE~! Flaco remains uncaught. However! He has learned how to successfully hunt on his own, and is living in relative peace in the trees of Central Park. Flaco is elite!
