Super Bowl thread - Predictions and trash talk

[multivita-man]

Good game, absolutely terrible ending.

Refs need to stop taking over. What a joke.

2nd game in a row they've done it and of course, poster children benefit.

 

[XponentialChaos]

If you watch the replay, the hold was so touchy it did impede the receiver and the ball dropped 10 yards over his head. As we all know holding happens on every play. We just had the Super Bowl decided by a ref which you never want. If you want to make a ticky tack call like that, do it in the first quarter.

This.

Holding. Happens. Every. Play.

 

[Couchpotato]

Has nothing to do with time. It’s these ticky-tack calls that sometimes get called and sometimes don’t get called. Inconsistent and it ends up deciding games like it did here.

So when does a penalty called or not called decide the game and when doesn’t it. You want them to swallow their whistle it can’t be the entire game, so when should it happen? The DB held the WR. It’s a penalty. Why should it be called in the 1st quarter but not in the final 2 minutes?

 

[multivita-man]

The Milllenials and Gen-Zers who ghost employers and stay at home because they're too stressed out can watch football. I'm done with this shit.

You waited until the last play of the Super Bowl to quit watching?

Not in the secondary. When people say that they mean lineman. Is this your first year watching football?

 

[rightwinger]

It really came down to who got the ball last

Great Game

 

[bodecea]

The NFL needs to fire 100% of the refs because they are total shit

Stop the Steal!!!!

Call it if it’s blatantly obvious. Don’t call it if it’s ticky-tack. Let them play.

 

[MarathonMike]

Everyone bitching about the outcome does realize that the Eagles defense didn’t stop the Chiefs from scoring on a single possession the entire second half right?

You NEVER want a ref to decide a big game, and that's what happened.

I did watch it and he held him twice. The WR‘s body turned because of it. The call didnt decide the game. The Eagles defense getting handled the entire second half lost the game

I watched knowing what the outcome would be. No more. Let the generations that have less wealth, and that fucking ghost employers, contribute to the NFL ad bottom line. I won't

 

[Couchpotato]

Call it if it’s blatantly obvious. Don’t call it if it’s ticky-tack. Let them play.

Again when does that start? 2 minute warning? Before that? Less than a minute left?

No, it’s not my first year watching football.

Do you think referees are perfectly consistent calling holding?

 

[Concerned American]

I am surprised no one has posted one yet.

I think the Eagle will win, by a good margin. Their defense can play, and the offense is full of weapons. The biggest of which is Jalen Hurts.

The winning QB was black, but it wasn't Philly. Meh.

Again, I already answered this for you in post #300.

“Has nothing to do with time. It’s these ticky-tack calls that sometimes get called and sometimes don’t get called. Inconsistent and it ends up deciding games like it did here.”

 

[Alan Stallion]

I predict the Chiefs will win.

Score? I dunno. Probably close. 38-35 sounds plausible with these two great quarterbacks.

 

[bodecea]

That ref better never go to Philly lol

Same kind of physical threats we got after November 2020.

 

[Couchpotato]

No, it’s not my first year watching football.

No they arent perfect calling anything. It evens out. The Eagles lost. It wasnt the refs fault.

 

[XponentialChaos]

No they arent perfect calling anything.

Right. They’re very inconsistent with these kind of calls and it ended up deciding the game here.
