Taylor Swift wins again
the worlds last hope from a Taylor Swift Super Bowl remains with Boynton Beach, Florida's finest and soon to be 2x NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. 

SAVE US LAMAR!

Can't do it. I'd rather have a Swifty Bowl than Cleveland relocation victory.

Wide right AGAIN.

Allen was not good on that final series leading up to the missed FG.
Bills are like cursed or something. They should've won that game. I think Josh Allen is SO overrated, I don't get all the hype on him. Yeah he's 6'5, 250 with a rocket arm and he can run, but he's a turnover machine who does a whole lotta DUMB sh*t and just can't seem to perform in the clutch when it really matters- see his record in the playoffs vs Mahomes.

Baker played really well today.  He earned a new contract, but you wonder what roster sacrifices they'll have to make to accommodate him no longer making essentially backup QB money.

That was probably the most consistent QB pressure the Lions have gotten all year, so have to keep that up.  But the run defense was concerning.  That had been their one strength, and TB was the worst rushing team in the league.  They got some stuff done on the ground today, and next up is CMC
Baker always had the arm talent and guts to be an NFL starting QB, just went to the worst place possible: Cleveland. Tampa's core stars are starting to get long in the tooth and up there in age as well. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Vita Vea, Lavonte David, and Shaq Barrett are no spring chickens- all pushing 30ish or over 30. Not exactly old, but the NFL is a young mans game.

Lions will have to shore up the run D because CMC is the best back in football right now and the 49ers are a run heavy team. They need to try to stuff the run and get the 49ers in 3rd and long pass situations. Easier said than done. But I think if they do that they win. Make Brock Purdy beat you with his arm. I'd much rather lose a game that way than have CMC and DeeBo run buck wild.

Taylor Swift wins again

After finishing up her recent tour, Swift is now a billionaire.  Reportedly worth $1.1 billion now.  

I hope with all that money now, she can afford to buy a sense of humor.

Kelce better be careful. If he breaks up with her, she might write some lame ass song about him for her fans aka the teenage girl crowd and weirdo adults- then buy the Chiefs and cut him.

He'll be cut d/t declining performance before that can happen.  Better get that Pfizer money while he can.....he ain't no spring chicken.

Maybe not, but he had no turnovers in the playoffs, and hit receivers in the hands TWICE down the stretch on long bombs that would have flipped the script.

I saw somewhere this morning that Josh Allen and the Bills' record is the exact same as Phillip Rivers' Chargers teams from the late aughts.

I don't get the whole Allen-Mahomes "rivalry".

The two best QBs in the league are playing in the AFC title game, and yet people keep sleeping on Lamar

100%

Lamar is like the most disrespected player in NFL history or something. He's basically Vick without all the off-field issues. Ok maybe he doesn't have quite the insane rocket arm Vick had- but he's got an NFL arm for sure- and he's a little bit bigger physically- and he might actually be faster than Vick- which is insane.

I never like when they hype up a football game as a QB vs QB battle. "Watch as Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen face off in an epic duel!"

You mean, two players that aren't going to be on the field together with the exception of the coin toss and the post-game handshake? This isn't MMA. This isn't Byrd-Hamilton. Some duel. They at no time directly compete with each other. 

It's QB vs defense and other QB vs other defense. It's not QB vs QB.

Go Lions!!  

Go Chiefs!!


Wife asked if we could go to Vegas if the Lions make it....   it's tempting.   I have yet to attend a chiefs SB, but man... Lions are my childhood team.  It would be very tempting. 


btw.. on the annoyance scale...  Mahomes wife >>>Stafford's wife

getting very sick of Mahomes and his stupid commercials, his annoying ass wife, and his gay ass TikTok brother. I was already really not liking the Chiefs, and then their Vanilla Ice TE went and started dating Taylor Swift. So yeah, I REALLY hate the Chiefs. 

I've always liked Lamar Jackson as a player and person. He's my favorite player in the NFL to watch by far. Don't think that is even close. He's the most electric, exciting, dangerous player in the NFL along with Tyreek Hill. And Lamar is just a humble, down to earth, about his business and team guy. Great kid. If there is a god the Chiefs will lose and Lamar Jackson will be in the Super Bowl vs the Detroit Lions. 

Lamar and the city of Detroit deserve this. San Fran have been to enough Super Bowls god damnit. Detroit has never even been to one. And the Chiefs are like literally the worst because of Mahomes and his familly and the Vanilla Ice TE and his stupid ass girlfriend.

So your knock on Mahomes himself is that you're tired of his commercials?

You must hate Peyton Manning with the fire of a thousand suns.
