Just want to say congrats to Stadler. His favorite player has taken his team to the big game again. I know he's looking at his Mahomes poster right now and having one in his honor.

In all fairness, does anybody really want to see another Chiefs Owl? Is there anybody here that wouldn't have preferred to see the Ravens? I don't even like Balt, but I was pulling for them.

It is what it is. I'm all for sitting back and enjoying watching Mahomes do his thing. The guys is amazing. I mean, I'm fine if they lose too, but I don't really care.

12 year old girls like my daughter.

I should have typed this but as a Pats fan, I understand.

Yup, got a nation of giddy Swifties who could win it all on their first go. No decades of suffering like Detroit fans, just in, watch few months of football, and collect your prize.





Oh well... let's get on with the big one...

After Chokeson threw that last interception, I left to go to the grocery store.  On the drive home, Ross Tucker was interviewing some guy on the Chiefs who was crying.  When Tucker asked him why, he gave a fairly generic answer that included "no one believed in us."  Really?  A Chiefs player busting that one out is dumber than 40% of the commercials in the game featuring Mahomes and/or Kelswift and/or Reid.

Go Lions!

[jammindude]

Well, the SF D is not off to a good start.

You would've really hated Tracy Wolfson's interview with Mahomes after the game then. Something about how God gave them a bunch of obstacles this year. WTF??

[lonestar]

Ok kids, let's solidify that run defense like fucking yesterday...

[DragonAttack]

Uhm....there was no PI on Jackson's INT, even though there was early contact.    The CBS rules' official said so himself, but then was dismissive of the early contact.   

Ravens offense went into hibernation mode again, for too long this time.  Throw it a ton against an average rushing defense. Spagnola schooled their OC.  And then a pretty damn good QB dinked and dunked their defense to death. Baltimore has been somewhat soft against the run all year against good teams. A break or two here or there never hurts as well. 

Kudos yet again to a team that manages to win ugly.  Ain't nothing wrong with that. It's the NFL.   Better than the alternative.

Why what happened?   I finally bailed on the game after Nantz was chuckling over Kelce's childish antics like it was hilarious (every play he was driving players into the turf after the whistle) and the Ravens were getting flagged for UC like every other play.  They earned the penalties no doubt but Kelce's a baby.  He's the best player on the field, too, so there's that, but a little class wouldn't kill him. 

If Nantz and Romo do the Super Bowl, I'm moving to Canada with Alec Baldwin.

Never in a million years would I have thought this, but a Harbaugh team got outcoached.  As rare as hens teeth, but you saw it today.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Jake Moody needs to be fired after this season.

Yeah, but...Chad.

As a Patriot fan, you saw it fairly regularly.

Look, he has a good program, but today showed once again that he has no control over his players. Their true punk colors showed, and it cost them a SB birth.

The Chiefs would've gotten that call. Just saying..

And the Chiefs' defensive gameplan was excellent. Lamar had a brutal game. It's like he didn't know what he was looking at.

[lonestar]

Look on the bright side Stads, at least you weren't watching the game here, where every other commercial break has a Schiff for Senator commercial...

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Welp, the Niners D is swiss cheese right now. Guess we are seeing a Lions - Chiefs Superb owl...

Not ready to be.sued by the NFL.

I would never root against watching more Chiefs games. Easily the most entertaining quarterback to ever play the position in my lifetime. I could never appreciate watching Brady or Belichick for reasons obvious given that I'm a Jets fan, but here I've got no problem with it. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes may not be at that level yet but they are getting close.

[lonestar]

Ok...feel a bit better now.



I'd feel a lot better with a defensive stop.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

They forgot how to be physical on defense apparently.

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, but...Chad.

He can stay for 2 beers, but then he has to go back.  And if I hear one Schiff/deplorable/in-group out-group comment, I'm snitching to border officials he's got a box of Cubans in his trunk

[lonestar]

If Greenlaw is out we're truly fucked.

[DragonAttack]

Bill, you do know that CBS is doing the SB, doncha? ☹️ 

I couldn't tell you one thing either one of them said all game. Try the volume control.....

[King Postwhore]

Holy shit.

Scratch this....The Niners D is non-existent.

[El Barto]

That's about as thorough an ass-whipping as I've ever seen. It's not just one team blowing another out. It's one team making the other team look like ten year old girls. Hard to believe this is a conference championship game. 

[Dream Team]

Lamar made some great plays in the second half but you can't turn the ball over 3 times and expect to win. Mahomes' QBR in the 3 playoff games so far: 88.3, 91.2, 91.0 That'll get it done!

Normally, I would have said there's no way you go for it in 4th and goal, just take the FG.

But the way the SF D has been playing? I think taking the FG might have not been the right call.

[lonestar]

Let's hope the Lion's offense is worn out from running up and down our asses that first half... Jesus fuck where is our D?


And our O?



Fuck. I skipped my regular AA homegroup to watch this game, definitely needing a meeting more than ever right now lol.

[King Postwhore]

Mahomes gets it done. Lamar doesn't. That's the storyline. 

[emtee]

Unbelievable 1st half for my Lions! 30 minutes is a long time and anything can happen still. They came to play though!

[ProfessorPeart]

I will say, as a Bears fan, Detroit looks scary and I think they might be the team to beat in the division.

Dropped the above in the Pick'em thread back in early Sept. One of the few times I had a correct bead on a team. I did pick them to win tonight as well.
