BBQ vs. Sourdough: Super Bowl LVIII thread

That was what I thought...but the Chiefs were not exactly in a hurry and the broadcast seemed to be operating as if the possession would continue into the next overtime.

 

I also recall a USFL playoff game (original USFL, that is) that went to a third overtime.

 

The rulebook:

"If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team’s initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period."

 

Yeah definitely would have just gone into a second overtime, so Chiefs were in no rush.

In South Africa so woke up at like 3 and started following live stats -- brother-in-law sent me a streaming link that was either filled with million viruses or an open invitation for Interpol to raid. So declined that. I actually kind of like just following with the stats, adds a LOT of tension waiting for it to change from 4th and 1 and to see if the game is ending or going on.

Will have to catch up on the commercials now after watching the highlights. Sounds like so many of the Super Bowls the past 20 years, kind of boring and borderline awful for a couple of quarters and then all of a sudden becomes one of most exciting games ever.

 

This is a country already struggling to adapt to any change that occurred after 1959 and quick to see the dark hand of conspiracy behind any action. If television sets coast to coast read SF 22 KC 19 End OT and they kept playing football, Al Gore’s internet would have snapped from the strain.

 

Dumb rule. Why even play with a clock then?

 

Every team in football needs a coach whose only job is to scream “RUN THE BALL” at the OC when the game is within one possession either way and the team has a good running game.

Rewatching the game and Shanahan threw it six straight times up a touchdown in the second half.

Jack Harbaugh could’ve done it for Todd Monken.

 

49ers should've won by 2 touchdowns but that's the way it goes and they were a fantastic team this season.

And lookie lookie Pat Mahomes, 3 Super Bowl MVPs in 5 years. Fantastic. Congrats to SJ Chiefs Nation.

 

To switch directions of play if we ever had weather in the Super Bowl.

I don't see any confusion over the overtime rule myself. It seems pretty simple. The one adjustment that was needed, with both teams getting the ball, they made.

 

I think the prop bet for last TD of the game had Hardman at something like 45 to 1, so anybody who had that (few, I'll wager) got well no matter how their other plunges fared.
