BBQ vs. Sourdough: Super Bowl LVIII thread

I think the armchair analysis tends to forget that human failures occur all the time. It’s not a given that a team marches down the field for a FG every time (let alone a TD). I was thinking about Hardman’s catch and remembered Jackie Smoth, one of the greatest TEs in 70’s dropping a gimme TD for Dal v Pitt. Look at a Reynolds in Det, that’s why D play zone and force you to be perfect to score. Unfortunately KC did it.

Man KC was truly the best, beat Buf and Bal on road them SF.

 

Maybe 2021 was an outlier of sorts. At least through mid-October.

Also, ya never see guys on the sideline anymore riding stationary bikes to stay loose. Or if they are, the cameras are too busy panning the stupid crowd. It's amazing how much is wasted in broadcasts with flashes of coaches calling plays with their cards covering their mouths, though.

 

That's also why you draft for depth, so the defensive line isn't sucking wind in the fourth quarter.

 

I wonder how much the extended seaason factors in with exhaustion and injuriea. 17 games, 2-3 playoff games and the Super Bowl takes a toll.

 

Right. Lady Gaga was in Houston for Patriots-Falcons. Maroon 5 was in Atlanta, but the Falcons weren't.

 

Donovan McNabb's party ended 14 hours ago but he's still staring blankly at the TV, wondering what the fuck is going on.

 

Romo finally addressed the situation, but with like 30 seconds or less remaining. That needed to happen at least 2-3 plays before that.

 

I had never even considered it from that point of view. I don't even know if I should have considered it, but it is a different way of looking at it.

I just always went through my NFL life knowing that teams play OT in the postseason until somebody breaks the tie. And the only thing that was added to it was that both teams had to have a possession.

 

I really wish Aikman were on the telecast last night; IMHO he truly comes across as objective and giving the POV that a former player should provide. Or man Greg Olson would have been tremendous. Romo is just a name now riding Nantz' coattails.

 

I'm still confused, though (as it appears a lot of us are). If KC doesn't score by the end of overtime, it gets what amounts to the gridiron equivalent of stoppage time to score?
