unclevlad Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 I feel that what happened with the Packers this year, shows the issue with placating/kowtowing to Rodgers for the last couple years. Unless the entire offensive staff is happy running what Rodgers wants...and builds the team to that exclusively...there's conflict. And Love's development is stalled...while you waste his rookie contract years, the cheap ones. Rodgers also ties up far too much in the way of resources, while not producing at the level of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 I was picking the Chiefs based on them being more reliable, but you're right...the Bills made no big mistakes. Until the kick. Early lines...Niners -7. Detroit's secondary held up against the Bucs, but.... Ravens -3.5. If anything that maybe feels a bit low...? If the Bills can run the ball like they did, then what's Jackson gonna do to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I'd take the Ravens at -3.5 no question. Their running game has been unstoppable even aside from Lamar. Likewise their pass rush. Detroit's problem is going to be CMC. I don't think they've had to face a rushing attack like that all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 mmm...CMC yes, but even more, the balance the Niners have. CMC *forces* you to address the run, and the Detroit secondary got burned a LOT during the season. It's a Sunday night and not even 8...and the football's over...??? Same game times next week...and the Aussie Open will be over by then. Love to see the Lions make it, but I rather doubt it. No real preference between KC and Baltimore; wasn't a big Lamar fan, but he's really balanced his game out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I was pulling for a Lions-Bills Super Bowl but I guess it wasn't to be. Not sure either game next week will be interesting in and of themselves, but a SB with either SF or Detroit will at least be a change of pace.

unclevlad Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 SF in the Super Bowl is a change of pace? If they make it, it'll be #8...Pats have 11, but this'd tie the Boys, Steelers......and Broncos. Which is hard to believe, kinda. NOT a team that would come to mind, but they have had their runs.

Texans over the Ravens 49ers over the Packers Lions over the Buccaneers Chiefs over the Bills 75% success. Not bad for me. Now then Chiefs over the Ravens because the latter beat the Texans and I want revenge. And I'll go Lions over the 49ers just because I think it might be their year.

Starlord Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Tired of KC, will root for the Ravens and Lamar. Deep hatred of the 49ers for beating the Bengals twice in the SB and they have enough titles anyway so I will root for the Lions. They will beat SF if both teams play like they did this past weekend.

Cygnia Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 My hubby's 2 cents... Quote Current ranking of who I want to win the Super Bowl of the remaining teams: 1. Detroit Lions (gap) 2. San Francisco 49ers (gap) (gap) 3. Kansas City Chiefs (yawning chasm) 4. Baltimore Ravens Apparently, I have become a far more bitter Buffalo Bills fan than I expected.

Cancer Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Dunno who I'm rooting for; I find myself profoundly indifferent. I'll probably watch some of the games, but not much. Depends on how much Premier League runs on the local Spanish-language rabbit-ears channel against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Is that the British Premier League, you are talking about ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) Yes. The game I watched yesterday was a piece of AFC Bournmouthe - Liverpool. Watched it go from 0-1 to 0-3, at which point I got disgusted and changed the channel. The EPL often has a game shown on Saturdays starting about 10AM my time, on Telemundo, a Spanish language network, and sometimes also on Sundays. I used to watch Liga MX often, but the Sinclair Group pulled the plug on the Univision station they have here (a different Spanish-language network) a month or two back, so I've seen nothing of that league in a while.

The games on that weekend are Manchester City vs Everton, Wolves vs Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton, Luton Town vs Sheffield United, Liverpool vs Burnley, Fulham vs Bournmouth, Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle on Saturday 10th and Arsenal FC vs West Ham and Aston Villa vs Manchester United on Sunday 11th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I don't have a say in what I can watch; I just get what that network chooses to show. I'm pretty casual, not following any particular team. I do tend to root against favored teams. Otherwise I tend to like watching association football because (1) having played it in my youth I like the game, and (2) it's not interrupted by ads.

Nugget from Around the Horn...Reali points out every team in the NFL except the 49ers has replaced their offensive coordinator in the last 24 months.....
