Hard to make up a TD taken away in a game.

Need to score and stop/hold the Eagles...

Run the clock down.

 

[dfergie]

Must make field goal...

 

[Don in CT]

8 seconds...

 

[madmadworld]

KC deserved it

 

[dfergie]

Eagles played hard...

 

[Don in CT]

What ever they gave Mahomes at halftime worked.

It's unfortunate they botched coverage of that hold that has so many up in arms, they only actually showed the hold once and it was a play later.

The ref that threw the flag was at the goal line, had a very clear view of it.

 

[Don in CT]

It’s a hold by rule. The right call was made.

Thanks for posting that, I saw the jersey but it seemed Fox Sports replay was more about the arm around the back later. That call was pivotal to the outcome of the game.

If KC was held to kicking the field goal from further out and Philadelphia was getting the ball with 90 seconds left & no time outs, it would have been a more satisfying result. But a Win is a Win, and the Chiefs were the better team in the 2nd half. Congratulations!

Now, about those field conditions…

The field was bad. How can the league let that pass.

Think the penalty increased the Chiefs winning percentage from 74% to 80%.

Brutal headline in Philly.

Those rugby-style sneaks they run are still just amazing to me. Not sure how you effectively counter that without doing something similar on the other side and then that opens you up to being exposed in other ways (like faking and tossing it to a back or something)

The turf (Tahoma 31 Bermuda grass) was as slippery as the Tahoma glacier (Mount Rainier); with or without the paint.

Apparently a big glitch at Caesers and its associated properties. They use the "William Hill" brand for their sports books. For phone app based betting, in most states, the phone just has to be in the right state when you place the bet. You can withdraw money by having a check mailed to you, anywhere in the world. Not so in Nevada. You can only withdraw money by presenting the phone to a cashier at the casino, or get a check mailed to a Nevada address. The system went down and many winners had to leave the state without their money and are being told that they will just have to wait until they return to Nevada to cash out.

Ironically, the old fashioned paper ticket system, has always provided a PO Box you can mail winners to and get a check in the return mail. I have not been to Las Vegas since the Supreme Court legalized sports gambling nationwide, but next time I'm there, I certainly will stick to the paper system.

Yeah I've never bet on sports and was interested a few weeks back and installed one of the popular apps... not supported in Nevada. Have to use just a select few to adhere with the laws here. There are William Hill kiosks in a few of the sports bars I've been to, but long story short have still never bet on sports.

We also don't have any kind of lotto or scratch-offs at our convenience stores, and everyone runs to the borders come Powerbal time.

William Hill betting app still down Monday after Super Bowl

The William Hill sportsbook mobile app went down in Nevada before the Super Bowl started Sunday. As of 11 a.m. Monday, the app was still down.

NO body watched any of the Combine ???

The only thing football related I will watch before September is the draft.

Does it really matter how far a QB can broad jump? The combine is a waste of everybody's time. History has shown that guys that excel at the combine can stink in the game and guys that show poorly in the combine can be great in the game ala one Tom Brady. The one and only thing that can definitively come out of the combine are injuries (Andrew Vorhees). There's talk of eliminating it.

Never going to eliminate it ...
The most important thing about the Combine is the Interviews the player go thru ...

Some players are able to Raise thier Draft stock, while others not so much.

For example, everyone forgot about Buckeyes Star recvr Jackson Smith Njigba because of him missing most of the year with an injury .... He went to the Combine and went thru drills and Excelled ...
Someone is going to get one hellofa player somewhere in the 1st round ... then he will go out and be the Offensive Player of the Year.
