NFL 2024-2025 Season

[Bruce]

It is in 4K. Just not HDR.

from my TV, using the 2024 Roku Ultra, says HD right under the title-

 

[Bruce]

Kansas City is just embarrassing Pittsburgh.

 

[meStevo]

Yeah it's HD, just not HDR. The bitrate is so good that apps/TVs upscaling it look really great.

From a browser -
Playing bitrate (a/v): 128 / 6000 (1920x1080)
29.97fps

Steelers look like they're on pace to slide into the playoffs on a 4 game skid if they can't turn things around next week, only to then have to go to the Texans, Ravens or Bills, all of which are pretty unfavorable matchups.

Most convincing win by KC all season if this holds, and against a playoff team, however hobbled.

Pacheco dinged, glad he was back to help take the load off Hunt a bit, but Hunt seems more than capable and Pacheco hasn't been the same after his injury.

Lots of backups should be expected next week in Denver for KC, should be Wentz and Steele running the KC offense. Will have big playoff implications for Denver and a number of other teams though.

Next meaningful game for the Chiefs will be January 18th.

Geez, Houston is worse than Pittsburgh, how the hell has this team won 9 games.

For Netflix having 2 games with all four teams with winning records, both games have been boring and uneventful.

Yeah I subscribed to their cheapest package @ $6.99 just to watch those two games. I think I got cheated.

 

[Jimbo]

No, 1080P, similar to Paramount+, Amazon, ESPN+ and Peacock.

Also, a much higher bitrate then you get from Satellite/Cable TV.

Do we know what the bit rate is ?

Yeah it's HD, just not HDR. The bitrate is so good that apps/TVs upscaling it look really great.

Steelers have had a Brutal back half of thier schedule ... not sure why the NFL did this to them, they didn't and never have to anyone else.

They have 3 other teams in thier division, and going into week 8 or 9 they hadn't played ANY of them yet, so they played both thier division match ups in the last 8 weeks along with the Eagles, Bills and Chiefs (Ravens twice in their division).

Thats ridiculous ... I understand why they are beat up and under manned ... major players injured.

 

[meStevo]

Yeah, they had a really soft schedule aided by their 3rd place finish in the division last year. When the rubber hit the road this season the team wasn't ready or wasn't as good as their record suggested it seems.

A lot goes into the schedules and a lot of teams face adversity, you can find aberrations every year.

Chiefs went 3-0 in 11 days and somehow turned in their best performance of the whole season (by point differential) today and collectively excelled by a whole host of other metrics (1 sack, no turnovers over the 3 games).

Steelers went 0-3 in 11 days and lost all 3 games by multiple scores. Chiefs made a lot of mistakes today, and with no Chris Jones still ended up with 5 sacks, a season high. Steelers just seemed to struggle to do anything outside of a handful of runs and chuck and pray shots down the sideline. Seems like Russell Wilson still can't throw down the middle and the Steelers look like they're probably going to end up giving him $35-40m/year to stick around for a few years.

Maybe they'll finally make some bigger changes, but that's not usually the Steeler way - but that way means more seasons like this.

The Steelers have been this way for years ....
Ever since Big Ben started into the twilight of his career.

Just good enough most years to make the back end of the playoffs and lose in the 1st round.

This never gets you the picks high enough to build.

KC is just another typical year where every thing goes thier way.
All year.

They have become the Patriots ... the team to hate because of it.
They have a Long way to go to do what the Patriots did, but they are on thier way.

You can't really credit just luck / things going your way to get to 16-1. Would be like blaming bad luck for losing 3 games in a row by multiple scores.

People are just unhappy when another team builds a sustainable franchise and is successful.

There won't be another Patriots, just like there won't be another Reid/Mahomes Chiefs.
