2023-24 Other Games and Playoffs Discussion - Super Bowl LVIII

[Velo]

Maybe its just me (or just being a Charger fan)... but this run up to the Super Bowl has been the most boring in decades. The build out of the coaching staff has been much more interesting. The only real disappointment was the snub of Gates, but eventually he will get in (and not really caring that much, to be honest. I only have a lean to hoping the Chiefs lose, only because one overly visible Kelce fan.

I hope its a good game, though... no expectations.

Gates should be a first ballot HOFer. No ifs, ands or buts. He has more TDs than any other TE in league history. FUBAR!

This Super Bowl build-up has been more about Taylor Swiftie and where she has to park her private jet than the two teams and the game.

I don't think I'm going to watch the game. We are going to take a road trip to Napa this afternoon. This time of year the valley floor is covered in yellow mustard plant, it's really vibrant and beautiful. We'll catch the game on the radio if we can.

You guys are all thinking of 2022 Badgely instead of 2023 Badgely. The guy got better

Jamrock is right except you’re all thinking of 2019-2020 Badges. He’s kicked 86% (18 of 21) from 40-49 the last 3 years. 2023 Reg Season he was 100% 1-1. In this post season he had no 40-49 but he was 1-1 from 50+ (54 to be exact). It was odds on makeable, a very good bet. Mistake to not take the points. He did it twice in the game lost by 3. Staleyanalyitcs

If i didn’t know the actual data and only read TPB, I’d think he was trying to throw a Hail Mary.

He was elevated to Detroit's active roster from the practice squad on December 29. He was on the active roster for about a month before the NFC Championship Game. He kicked four field goals and missed two extra points in four regular-season games. His 54-yard field goal against the Rams was inside a dome, not in the outdoor stadium with natural grass that San Francisco plays in. Since 2022 he's been released by the Bears, Lions, Washington, and Titans before being brought back to Detroit's practice squad this season. Not sure why so many believe he was the guy Detroit should have counted on to get into the Super Bowl.

Agree. I’ve been wondering what its like outside of Chargerland because we clearly do not give one fuck. I can’t think of one “SB Story” the last 2 weeks other than Taylor getting from Tokyo to Vegas on time.

I've seen every SB from the first one on. Some of the games have been stinkers but most have been pretty good games.
My grandkids live in Sacramento and they are died in the wool Niner fans so I'll be pulling for the Niners.

[Charge!]

agree!!!.... Gates has been snubbed.......
and this swiftie thing is ridiculous!..... vegas has bets on how many times Swift is on camera during game..... but she has already had dozens of shots BEFORE the game..... media is obsessed with her and it is sickening.... lol
is the teenage girl audience that important to the NFL?....lol

Bankrupt Bags is a career 82% figgie kicker. That is below average. He is career 5/13 on figgie tries over 50 yds. Most kickers are expected to do better than that. He has a weak leg. His first year with us, he was 93% with us, which is above average. By his third year, he had inexplicably dropped to 72%. He's strictly an emergency signing until a team can find someone better.

Sacramento is mostly 49er fanatic country. I tell friends and family here that I'll be rooting for the 49ers but I think the Chiefs will win. That drives them crazy. I think Mahomes gives the Chiefs an advantage over the Purdy Niners. Purdy struggled against premiere defenses, they were smoked by the Ravens and they lost to the Browns QB'd by PJ Walker because the Browns' defense smothered Purdy. The Niners didn't look dominant against the Packers or Lions, trailing in both games against a mediocre and a bad defense. I think the Swifties win this game.

[Bolt-O]

Just seems overproduced.

[wu-dai clan]

No chance KC.
Not with that Bay Area Boom Box.

37-31 49ers winners.

My take too . . . . . . . . . . . the difference is the QB's. And I don't care how many times TS is on screen - doesn't bother me

I haven't been following him: the truth is far from what i had supposed

Listening to some here, it sounded like Moneybadger was Detroit's field goal kicker all year and he was nailing everything.
