This shit killed me

I'm no football pro, but the team is down to the final play, a solid 70 yards away from the end zone and the team calls for a play he passes for 10 yards up the middle which surrounded by red shirts.

Am I missing something?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Yesterday was such a great day: both cowboys and bills lose. Oh yeah!

I enjoy Buffalo teams losing.

Where I live all the US network channels are Buffalo affiliates, so when it comes to sports it's all about Bills, Sabres and whatever minor league baseball team they got. I dont watch network TV in 20 years, but back in the 90s the channels were so amped up on Jim Kelly and Pat Lafontaine and the tv sportscasters were homers like Ed Kilgore and Brian Blessing for probably 25 years. But since the teams never win, it's such a downer for the newscasts since the rest of the news is all about crime and house fires in Tonawanda or Lackawonda or Cheetowaga because the city has lots of wooden homes.

They were going to pitch the ball back (lateral) to each other in a hook and ladder, but he threw right into a sea of tacklers.

Kind of like this,

That's how it is for me in my area with the cowboys. I don't even live in Texas, but even up here in Memphis, TN. all the local channels are all about dem cowboys! Cowboys this and cowboys that. I fucking hate that team. lol

I grew up in Lackawanna! About a half mile from the Basilica! You betray your people with such a post. To abandon one's own is a sign of true immorality.

Dont worry. You can laugh at me too. I'm across the lake. Leafs havent won since 1967, and we'll never get an NFL team even though people want one and follow it more than the shitty CFL.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I noticed a lot of defense in that 9ers, boys game. A lot of good tackles and interceptions. Bengals/Chiefs, California team, and random team (Bucs last year) really isn't that different than last years AFC/NFC 'chip games.

Lol, it was pretty scary for us in Buffalo for a year or two when Toronto was flirting with Bills ownership and you guys got a few of our home games.

Still, nothing but respect for you Canadians. Whenever I crossed the boarder your people seemed friendly and you kept your cities clean. You've now catapulted yourself as one of my top 10 favorite posters on NeoGAF!

Skydome was never meant to be good at anything, just a jack of all trades enclosed stadium that can do anything under a roof which retracts. The only thing going for it is the roof prevents any rainouts. It's awful for football games as I did some CFL ones way back before they moved to BMO Field. Inside, it's the most grey concrete structure ever!

As for Buffalo I go at least once a year with buddies and we hit a Sabres game. We always do Pearl St Grill (best pizza) and usually do Founding Fathers. Often we do Swannies and whatever is walking distance. Sometimes we'll take that streetcar metro north a bit.

No doubt the chillest people so thats why we always go. Super friendly people at every pub. And I like how it's a blue collar vibe in pubs since the music is more like 80s rock and Bon Jovi which I like!

I've been to a Bills game I think 3 times. Havent been in years. Also a great time. Never had or saw an issue even though you always hear about NFL drunks. Only problem with Bills games is each time we drove ourselves (next time thinking about doing those $250 tour bus deals) because unless we are doing it wrong it takes forever to park at the stadium and get out. One time we drove through a neighbourhood shouting distance to the stadium an parked in a muddy field beside someone's house! Everyone was doing it!

D day tomorrow! Anyone making any picks or bets?

Eagles niners is 50/50 imo

Chiefs is 70/30

Im in a playoff long fantasy challenge where you choose 1 player from every playoff team at the start of wild card wknd, and the winner is based of total points for the 4 weeks. Out of the 4 teams i submitted, 2 are top 3. To maintain any success i really need aj brown and mixon to shine

 

[The Lunch Legend]

I think a Niners/Bengals super bowl would be cool and nostalgic...

But it'll probably end up being Chiefs / Eagles.

 

[12Goblins]

really hoping for a KELCE finals

but I think mahomes is compromised and for some reason we can't beat the bagels so I'm not too hopeful

As a Raiders fan: anyone but the fuckin chiefs

49ers win and Purdymania hits a new high

Seriously though, I'm not sure how this game will go. I will say that there is a lot of talk about Purdy succumbing to the pressure of being in the NFC Championship due to lack of experience, but there doesn't seem to be any doubt in Jalen Hurts tomorrow despite this being just his second playoff game.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Bengals v 49ers Superbowl means Buffalo is the 2nd best team in the league. Next year is indeed our year!

 

[The Lunch Legend]

 

[EverydayBeast]

Brock Purdy is kinda like a young Tom Brady, finding people in the back of end zones, the 49ers defense could win against the Eagles.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Going for broke.

Got moneyline bets $20 on Eagles and $10 on Bengals.

If I win, I can treat myself to a Chinese take out combo for 2.

Watching some ESPN pregame show and the blonde chick is hot as hell.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Good grief these singers get worse by the week.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Alright, time to watch some footie. Cmon Philly.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

lmfao the fact the Niners are still in this and just tied it up after that start is amazing

 

[12Goblins]

Dam this is a disaster

Unless they can get purdy back at half this is over t.t

Dam this qb is baaad

 

[12Goblins]

One thing for sure, both these teams gonna get eaten by mahomes/burrow

 

[12Goblins]

3rd string qb going against the number 1 team in nfc for a Superbowl spot...no pressure bud

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Guess the 49rs finally ran out of qbs. I'm 56 and have never thrown a football and I think I could do as good a job as this loser.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Yeah doesn't look like the Niners will keep hanging on much longer…happy to be wrong but the Eagles aren't the worst NFC team.

edit

Jesus I said that before Johnson went out too

 

[12Goblins]

Who is the young sounding announcer? He's about 4 levels better than tony romo

 

[Toytown Assassin]

'boy you sure is purdy' is back on the field

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Welp let's go Bengals

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I told y'all. It's all luck at this point in the season. The Lombardi Trophy always goes to the luckiest great team...not the best team in the league.

The Buffalo Bills were UNARGUABLY the best team in 2022. We did it!

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Dude the bills didn't even manage to lose a 5th super bowl.

Anyway hopefully the next game is better entertainment that this shitshow.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Eagles just calling FG block for the whole fourth quarter

Yeah and any minute now the Niners are gonna have Purdy air it out and show everyone they were faking his injury and sandbagging the first 3 quarters

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Oh a brief moment of entertainment.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ya! Eagles so easy. SF zero QBs left. Just need Bengals to win.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I hope the Bengals win at least.

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Every time they mention Eric Bieniemy my brain translates it to Eric the Enemy which lets face it is a much cooler name.

 

[12Goblins]

feels good to watch burrow get pummeled

 

[12Goblins]

i feel like if the NFL was a little more rigged we would be up 3 touchdowns

 

[12Goblins]

burrowdead*

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Welp! Good luck chiefs. This is going to be a different half

 

[12Goblins]

Half dead mahomes still legendary

 

[Toytown Assassin]

Half dead mahomes still legendary

About that..... lol

 

[Deleted member 1159]

What a call on 4th down

 

[Alkemyst]

This is a way better game than the bullshit 49ers-Eagles game.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Joe Burrow keeps airing out to receivers that are completely covered.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Here we go

 

[12Goblins]

the chest pains are coming back
