NFL Championship Game Running Thread

Yes. That was the year the Steel Curtain was at its best. They started the season 1-4, then the defense just took over. The team won nine in a row, shutting out the opponent in five of them and holding them to six points or fewer in three more. The offense was a mess that year. Bradshaw only started eight games and he struggled most of the time when he did play. Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier both ran for over 1,000 yards. At the time, they were only the second pair of running backs on one team to do that.
Then both of them got hurt and the team fell apart without them in the AFC Championship.

 

The New York Times

Some football fans saw Jason Kelce. LJ Rader, the man behind the social media accounts Art But Make It Sports, saw “The Feast of Bacchus.” https://nyti.ms/4949QYy

 

I don't mind the brief cutaways during the broadcast, but no way would I enjoy being in the middle of the Taylor/Kelce show. I get it, Pat.

I wouldn't rule out EVERY possibility of being in the middle of the Taylor/Kelce show. Be open-minded!

 

I don't know. Looks like a fun crowd.Better than hanging with Roger Goodell in his box.

 

I don't know how familiar you guys are with Mahomes Senior, but folks like the Kelces and Taylor don't really seem like his get-down.

He's more of a "Pall Mall hanging from the lip, out in front of his house working on a Coupe de Ville that hasn't run in eight years" kind of guy.

 

Of course. He's a Texan.

 

Nah dude. I’d like to be able to walk like I’m not an extra in a Western.

 

He is 53 and looks 73. Dude has LIVED. He got pretty seriously hurt in a DUI when he was playing w/the Twins. But he does seem refreshingly unstageDad-esque. When he was at the Mets' Old-Timers Day a couple years ago, you could tell he wanted to be there b/c on his merits as a swingman who had two solid years w/the Mets and not as a curiosity factor b/c his son's the best player in football. Alas, those genes seem to have skipped dipshit Jackson.

 

Well, you've got to be selective.

 

That's just an insane run of defense. The total of 22 points allowed is the lowest in any eight-game span by any team since the start of the 1950 season. Next best: 49 points by the 1971 Vikings.

 

I often think of NFL referees based on their "lines" in the annual NFL Bad Lip Reading video. Bill Vinovich is Mr. "Can I Have This Sloth?"

I have worked with some leagues that viewed an unbalanced schedule as cause to not use head-to-head as a tiebreaker. I am at least willing to entertain a brief discussion that variations in schedule strength make that divisional rotation bullshit justifiable.
