OT: Football Thread

[Boris Zubov]

Just asked a buddy in Vegas to look up the Bengals preseason odds.

+6500 to win the AFC
+15000 to win the SB

I wonder how many tickets are out there.

Rangers win and the Mahomes clan loses. Cant stand them. I think I would like Mahomes if it wasnt for his annoying ass wife and brother. They are cringe.

Same. Love to see Mahomes lose.

Would love to root for the Bengals players but in my experience, their fanbase is just insufferable...one slight notch above Eagles fans. Plus they eat Skyline chili...not sure how to respect human beings who willingly subject themselves to that.

So count me a member of the Cali bandwagon!

Skyline Chili is a Lovecraftian abomination unfit for human sight

Cincinnati rebuild was a home run. Jets have made zero progress in a decade .

The chiefs are the first team to lose 3 home playoff games in OT.

In other news the Jets haven't had a home playoff game in 20 years.

What happened to MahomesIsGod anyway?

Incredibly dumb helmet to helmet hit. The equivalent of being unable to stop yourself from sticking your knee out or slewfooting someone

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

What happened to MahomesIsGod anyway?

It took a day off...like TB12s retirement status.

NFL playoffs have delivered this winter.

What an indictment on the Lions that they had Matthew Stafford that whole time and couldn’t put a decent roster around him.

Also, these have been a really fun playoffs. Just imagine what Joe Burrow could do if he had a decent offensive line. His future is really bright.

 

[sbjnyc]

Where’s his lunch box?

WHODEY! Still can't believe it. I was optimistic to start the year, but if you told me they'd beat a healthy Chiefs in the AFC championship I'd have laughed in your face

Burrow has some serious BDE. As good as he is (and I’m rooting for the Bengals), just imagine what he’ll do with an upgraded Oline.

idk i think the Bengals are proving that weapons > O-line for helping out a QB's development. I mean Houston always had a shit O-line but Watson became an all pro bc he had a top 2 WR. Ppl clowned on the Bengals for taking Chase but he's turned that franchise around single handedly almost. Jets are always a decade behind in NFL trends.

Agreed, need to keep him healthy

This has to be the worst o-line to get to a super bowl

I have little doubt they'll make a serious commitment to improving that this summer though.

The two representatives in the Super Bowl lost the last game they played against the Jets within the last two years.

The NFL is really an any-given-Sunday league.

NY fans can relate to the Lions ownership and management issues.

As I Giants fan kinda hard to believe how much I've found myself rooting for Odell and hoping he got to the Superbowl.

Having lived in SoCal for a long time, and gone to school in the bay (but never cheered for LA teams), I've found 49ers fans to be pretty much hands down the most obnoxious west coast sports fans around.

The oline coach for the bengals is the guy that coached the jets oline when darnold was here.

These NFL playoffs are probably the best I've ever seen. Everyone loves to talk how great the NHL playoffs are but the NFL is right up there with them

Every playoff game has been so good this year, hope it concludes with an amazing Super Bowl.

Tom Brady retirement report sparks confusion, denials

Might not be accurate yet in terms of Brady retiring.

It's official now.

 

[East Coast Bias]

It's official now.

He posted a long thank you letter on twitter. I read through it and I’m pretty sure he did not mention the Pats, Bellichik, Kraft or the fans. Literally not a word about NE unless I missed one of the string of tweets.

Would be hilarious

Probably the same letter as on his instagram post and I didn't see any mention of the Pats there either. Josh McDaniels now acknowledges it was a fumble. It's all falling apart.
