NFL 2024-25

I don't really know NFL - maybe Mahomes is a nice guy, I don't know... but there's something satisfying about seeing him get sacked twice and then throw an interception that gets returned for a touchdown. He just seems a bit raggy.

It's like Ronaldo missing a penalty in the World Cup final.

IMO Mahomes isn’t close to the egocentrist Ronaldo is. Seems pretty all right to me. Lots of QBs have been way more annoying over the years.

 

[SamBlue]

Has anybody told Mahomes he's allowed to throw the ball?

T. Swift in the stands is the only one open to receive it.

Another TD from Philly here and I won’t have to worry about falling asleep and not knowing who’s won.

Is the concept of the jinx not in force over there?

Fair enough - still going to back Philly just because I'm a big fan of the cheesesteaks. Oh, and Ozark taught me that KC is full of wrong'uns.

Seems as good a reason as any.

And there's the most infuriating thing in American football. Celebrating like that when you're getting smashed. It's the equivalent of getting beat 8-0, you score to make it 8-1 and do a backflip in celebration. Be more like Erling and get on with it.

Atlanta just shuddered.

The defence was tracking her too but she managed to shake it off

(don't hate me)

Been a good day for the green armies so far.

My wife’s from Philly. Note she lives with me, here, and has for 34 years :)

I’ve been to the 50 largest cities in the U.S. except for Cincinnati and Norfolk. I wouldn’t put either KC or Philly in the top 25 of my faves. Some of the Philly suburbs are nice though.

I still remember The Falcons being 28-3 up against NE about 8 years ago, and they lost, so suppose it’s not over till it’s over…. But I will stick my neck out and say if Philly go 24-0, its game over! Brave I know!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Important for the Eagles to get a stop here as KC gets the ball to start the 2H.

 

[smevchenko]

Wow!

Mahomes having an all time shocker here!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Oh wow. That is hugeee.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Like THAT!

 

[I'm not really here]

Fuckin hell!!!

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Oh wow. That is hugeee.

That’s was a truly awful pass — short and a yard behind the receiver anyhow.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Harvey Elliott having a really rough day.

Gives away the penalty that knocks the scousers out and now getting sacked and giving up interceptions in New Orleans.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This has been a massacre so far.

I’ve written about that before — it’s one of the things that has totally turned me off to the sport. Give me a spike after a touchdown and celebrating a win — otherwise, calm down and get on with it!

A lot of blame being laid on his offensive line here, can't blame that on anything but him, he's been utterly woeful.
