they've used so many, I think shanahan is on the phone to see if I can QB
Put a cheerleader in
For once I don't really mind who wins tonight. Going to be interesting seeing the birds D up against Andy Reid's offense
Same here! As long as the Eagles lose. 🤣🤣
However, got a feeling it’ll be their night. Hope it’s a great game and looking forwards to half-time show.
RM.
Fly Eagles Fly! Alternatively, how bout them Chieeeeefffsss
Not the biggest NFL fan but here in FL and in a bar soaking up some of the atmosphere. Been a good game so far!
Can someone get Laura Woods a strong coffee?

Half time and off to bed. Eagles look to be dominant and I will have something to talk about with my Philadelphia colleagues tomorrow. That first tackle with a head was grim. The running game is excellent.
God this is one of the shitiest half-time shows I've ever seen.

Yup.
Well this game is rather good fun.
That's what I want to see some good defense hits.

There's been a severe lack of great D so far. Especially in the secondary. Still time for a game-changing play though.
Sure has been an offensive game.
Andy Reid just earned himself some cheeseburgers!!
Well, that was quite astonishing.
Let me know who gets MVP? I'm going to bed.
Gotta be gutting to be told "don't score" and sit down on the one yard line Instead of getting your name down as a TD scorer in superbowl history.
Great game though.
See you all in September!
Yea that must be painful only for the kicker to get the glory.

Was trying to understand the logic behind this. I love the spectacle of the Superbowl, still not too au fait with many of the rules and intricacies of play though... Seemed to me that they just needed to score, a Touchdown, a field goal, whatever...
That was a fantastic game, a brilliant match up of teams really going for it.
@mboy the risk is the clock kinda stops when you score a TD and that's gives the opposing side more time on the field to try and score themselves. By sitting down on the 1yard line they retain the ball and can kill them game off as they have a new set of downs.
29 long weeks ahead.
@white101 I thought that was what they were doing. Seems counter intuitive to me though, especially as the goal kicker missed his first attempt earlier on in the game... Seems to me if you've got the opportunity to score a touchdown for 6pts and possibly extend it by another 1 or 2 pts too, then have to defend for a minute, it's better than running down the clock then still allowing for the fact your goal kicker, who isn't in great form, might miss the 3 point field goal anyway... 🤷🏻♂️
Many games down the years have looked sewn up with a minute left on the clock only for the tables to turn with some outrageous plays and fortune.
That's what makes it a great spectacle.
Great game, well worth the lingering tiredness today! Expecting slightly meaner defensive play but both teams were irresistible with the ball. So good to watch.
Thought Jalen Hurts was going to out-Mahomes Mahomes. Got to be a bit gutting to have put in a performance like that and not win. That late run up the middle by Mahomes though.
Did seem slightly anti-climactic that the Chiefs chose to win it in the way they did, but two minutes is a long time to hold the Philly offense back when they were playing like that. All about the averages. Chiefs score that TD with 2 mins to go, take the safe option of the single extra point, the way the game had gone you wouldn't bet against Hurts driving Philly right up the field and scoring, then they've got the shot at a 2pt attempt for the win. Taking the a very short 1st down rather than the TD lets KC control the clock, keep Hurts off the field and set up an easy kick to win it. The missed FG earlier in the game was much further out.
Amazing the way KC lose Hill and have guys like Hardman and Edwards-Hilaire out for half the season and just roll on.
It was tactically exactly the right thing to do. Buttkicker has been lights out all post season other than that one FG that hit the post. He was never going to miss. You don’t give the ball back to Hurts in that situation.
Our offence has been far better without Hill. It allowed us to bring in 3 WRs on the trade market, all of whom have contributed at clutch points in the season.
CEH is a bust but we don’t need him with Pacheco emerging as one of the best 7th round rookies I’ve ever seen. Hardman was playing superbly before his injury so that was a loss but McKinnon stepped up.
I had zero expectations for this season but I made it to KC for a game, saw a Mahomes-Kelce touchdown and we won the Super Bowl. Amazing times really.

if he hadn't fumbled the ball and had it returned for a TD it would have been a different story. on that one play i think the whole game rested
Anyone staying up?
I tried, but am failing
C'mon SF 49ers!
Not a huge follower, but watching so far.
Why do some of the SF players have red socks when team uniform seems to be white?
Hyerbolic drivel and steroids.

Same reason some of the KC players are wearing yellow cleats and gloves (Kelsey in particular)

You’re mixing them up with Russian Olympic athletes…
They’re no different to Rugby players, who’re much, much bigger than they were twenty years ago, only Rugby players don’t wear huge layers of armour. They also eat their dead…
I used to follow it when Channel 4 showed it regularly, but I haven’t watched it for years. I couldn’t be arsed to watch it tonight, neither team are one I used to be interested in years back - I might have if the Seattle Seahawks had been playing.
Half time.
I'm rooting for the Chiefs but think the Niners will win. It's going to be close either way, I'm expecting a KC comeback.
Heard some statistics the other day about the "super" bowl.
Some septics were getting upset that Taylor Swift was shown for something like 20 seconds. People saying it takes away from the game.
Turns out that for a three or four hour show the ball was in play for only 18 minutes.
And to the OP's question, no, because it's shit.
Hoping 49ers can extend their lead. I'd like to see McCaffrey get a Super Bowl ring, especially after spending years at Carolina.

"Probably a bit late to subscribe to anything this season but where is best to view it? BBC1 and C5 both have a weekly half-hour round-up but both are fairly poor in content and presentation."
? Perhaps you should read it? ⬆️

Ok, why's that?
I don't follow it these days but did avidly for Few years when I was just a kid so I remember the teams and basics of the game. I was rooting for Patrick Mahone after watching Quarterback on Netflix, he seems a genuine nice guy.
Did Rees Zammit win the world series final bowl or something?
Why do some of the SF players have red socks when team uniform seems to be white?
It's a quirk of the rules which has become a thing. You have to wear the kit as approved for the game except socks... Which have to just be an approved colour for your team. So players choose the colour they like best. Some like matchey matchey white, some like traditional red+gold I guess. Some players take it further and wear random other colours sometimes, and get fined for the privilege, but they can afford it.
Ta, I'd never noticed before. I wondered if there was some significance, eg: rookie year or whatever. I know in training some players have different coloured tops so you don't tackle injured or valuable players, but had ruled that out in a proper game.
Thoroughly enjoyed the game and the result. Because I'm a Cowboys fan and didn't want them being 6 times winners - sorry 9er's fans (I'm sure you'd be rooting for the Boys if we were there - not)
Chiefs defence was outstanding, as was San Fran's being honest but Mahomes is just sublime. Feeling it now as I stayed awake and then went into work. Early night for me later...........
