Who other than Baltimore or San Francisco can win the Super Bowl?

[leftwinger]

Flacco was named Super Bowl XLVII's MVP, concluding a postseason run in which he tied Joe Montana's single postseason record for touchdown passes (11) without an interception. That off-
season, he signed a six-year contract worth $120.6 million, a record high for a quarterback at the time.

2013

And this year he's proving that he's still got it.
Maybe he's like George Foreman. George was great twice. Almost seems like two different people

He can’t scramble. He is one step from a blown achilles like rogers or Cousins. Old QBs better have foolproof O-lines like Brady benefitted from. He is not elite like. Montanna, Staubach, Elway, Mahomes for that reason.

The Ravens are not flawed and have an MVP QB. The SB is theirs to lose.

Sigh.
Run d
Spy Jackson
Force rec to outside
allow Jackson to throw ints.

Why, with all that talent, do you think the Ravens haven't won a SB with Jackson?
BECAUSE
Teams that make it to the playoffs have good defenses.

 

[Dadoalex]

So the plan was to play your starters have your QB throw a bunch of picks to fuck with his confidence and get run out of the stadium? That’s what you want us to believe? Ok.

The plan was not to expose the plan.

 

[leftwinger]

they are going to lose to the rams.....

yep. That game is worrysome for DET. LA won 6 of 7 losing only to BALT in OT. Beating CLEVE & SF. I Know, meaningless games? Perhaps.

But they found a running back. The recieving KuppAcuna is maybe best one going? DET secondary is ???

DET better hold the ball and run….run out the clock. 7 min drives.

Anything can happen in the playoffs. Sometimes the most favored teams fall short.

 

[Dadoalex]

I can't blame you with the odds they are getting.

Every team on the AFC side is flawed and the Steelers are a team built to take advantage of flaws.

Ravens: Can't score on good defenses.
Flounders: Defense is not championship caliber
Williams: Keep allen in the pocket and he makes bad throws.
Pixies: Probably most balanced but shut down the run and Flacco is basically a statue.
Swifties: The RT shows every play.
Houston: Good against bad teams
Steelers: Inconsistent on both sides of the ball

On any given Sunday...


Or more precisely these days...


On any given Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and sometimes Saturday...

That's the beauty of sports. We can cheer on our favorite team(s) and enjoy the exercise to the fullest. And in the end, win or lose, the outcome makes no difference to our quality of life or circumstances . And then we look forward to next year with the same eagerness and hope.

it’s become such a game of clock, referreee calls, passing only…..game of inches on the mark, super slow mode replay decisions. It has become who gets the ball last to get a FG.

look at DET DAL game for example. Two pretty good teams. If GOFF gets that 2nd 2-pt pass up a littlle higher out front? I think that guy scores. Just a few inches and its all different.

The outcome matters to those who place some sort of bet.

After seeing the Steelers beat Baltimore last week ( even w/o Lamar...thanks for correcting me Blaster ), the Ravens will make the Super Bowl still... and lose to Dallas........the season was up and down at first but they're trotting on all cylinders now....Dak looks super confident. Mike is showing some balls in play calls......it all seems to be coming into place.

Dallas 37 - Baltimore 24

 

[leftwinger]

He’s playing like a very good one.. not to say I expect him to continue slinging dimes, but he has thus far.

I remember his untimely interceptions cost CLEVE at least one road game this year. But lately…he has cut out big mistakes.

Jackson didn't play against the Steelers last week.

 

[leftwinger]

Who wins game1 today? By what score? Cleve@Hou.

Cleve dominated game 1 against them…for the most part.

 

[the other mike]

Jackson didn't play against the Steelers last week.

Oh my bad

 

[the other mike]

Oh my bad

( I really only saw clips of the Pitts win )

 

[leftwinger]

Every team in the AFC is flawed in some major way.
I see no flaws in the Niners.
Barring injury this SB is the Niners to lose.

lol! Other than the total beating BALT put on them in prime time recently.

Being from NE Ohio.....my heart is with all my Browns fan friends but I couldn't care less tbh.
Growing up there in the 70s I was a Steelers fan

 

[leftwinger]

I cant say that I care

Lost three in a row mid-season startring with a loss to CIN at SF. Again, dominated. They can be beaten it seems? I don’t know anymore. Is it really any team, any given Sunday?

 

[sealybobo]

Dolphins lost pass rusher Chubb and still had BUF beaten but for a punt return TD. They held BUF to low points. I know, I watched it all while bet on ”points” to be scored.

MIA is missing a CB today with several other players banged up today. But, KC has had a bad season on offense. I would never ASSume MIA is certain to lose.

Is there a playoff game on right now? Chiefs vs Dolphins?

What happens in the regular season can be thrown out the window at playoff time.

 

[sealybobo]

KC already smoked Miami this year

That's what I'm watching. Week 9 replay. Thanks for ruining it. LOL.
