Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

If I am entitled to nothing else, I am entitled to my own opinion.
I don't think I'm better than anybody, and I don't think anyone is better than me.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion. What I can't figure out is why you choose to occasionally express it so offensively. It probably takes more time and effort to be condescending than it does to be pleasant.

professor

PA-PLAYA Some people just don’t want to get along because they’re fucking miserable and insufferable.

Says the miserable and insufferable author of "The Complaint Thread". Sanctimonious and negative bullshit, right? Let's have a whole thread about grievances? And who sets those rules? One far holier than thou.
"I'll start.

And keep your f*ng politics out of here.

What the heck is going on with bread and toilet paper?
A square of toilet paper is now the size of a credit card. Are you serious? How am I supposed to wipe my ass with that? Do we suddenly have a deforestation problem that I'm not aware of?
And anyone notice that a slice of bread is half the size it used to be? You can't even make a decent sandwich anymore with the meat and shit hanging out of both sides."

'I want to have a bitch thread but I will tell you how I want you to express yourself and how not to.'
Got it. Loving that hypocrisy too!

PA-PLAYA

professor

Again, stop being an insufferable cunt.

You bring absolutely ZERO value to this forum. It would be so kind of you to either 1) stop being an insufferable cunt and get along with people or 2) leave the United States.

professor

Well, now that I've got that off my chest...
Seems we've got an upcoming Super Bowl with the two best remaining contestants - each appearing as the most complete teams to face one another.
Damn, I hope all the whiner's and conspiracy theorists stay away from this culmination of this NFL season.
I'm just not interested in the accusations; that the Chiefs cheat? I don't believe they've control of the Zebra's. Hence, if there's cheating I'm not sure whose provoking it.
Sheesh I know I'm "supposed" to believe that Patrick Mahommes is the most savvy QB out there. I mean look at him pointing out holding and dirty hits by his opponents. It's not his fault the officials support him, right?
Similarly, when an Eagles receiver is deemed to have completed a catch, in-bounds is it not similarly "savvy" to get to the line and quickly snap the ball? Right?! How come the head coach for the Commanders didn't toss his flag and challenge the call. Isn't he the one most culpable? LMAO

professor How come the head coach for the Commanders didn't toss his flag and challenge the call.

This!!
I thought maybe he was asleep, as he sometimes appears to be on the sidelines.
That was 1 play. Not a game changer, on paper.

professor look at him pointing out holding and dirty hits by his opponents.

Allen has a good eye also. Most do. Stafford is in that 'great eye' group.

Officials do their job. QBs do their job. Games are played. A team always wins, a team always loses.
Whiners/detractors abound!! Both sides.

Should be a great SB. Don't want to see a blowout by either side. That's not great.

professor Damn, I hope all the whiner's and conspiracy theorists stay away from this culmination of this NFL season.

I can become embittered at times. It's that white male grievance thingy. (Just kidding) No, actually, it becomes a simple combination of factors. I get rather agitated and annoyed, far more so - with Philadelphia sports media. Then, if that gets inadvertently piled-on (or doubled-up on here, out come the fangs. Yeah, I should chill. Reasons aren't excuses.
And if anyone is owed an apology it's MartinD because he is always a classy guy. So, to you MartinD, my apologies. My tone was not necessary and uncalled for.

Par4QC But, I've noticed a change, just some good ol' back-forth. Sometimes I do put something in as BAZINGA; not sure he's even picking that up😄. He does try me at times, but I don't fall for that shit any more. Better to not.

A really good and appreciated post, in full. Yes, I've enjoyed our banter, in general this season. But, it's no longer time for that right now.
I'm honestly looking forward to what I consider the two best teams facing off against each other. The best being how teams play in the "new season" called The Playoffs. Some really intriguing match-ups!

sdandrea1

professor . So, to you MartinD, my apologies. My tone was not necessary and uncalled for.

Kudos, professor!

I meant just here.

professor We're different here. While others do whine/complain all over the internet, they lack the 'special knowledge' that GBers have.😄

We merely 'Monday morning QB'.
Sometimes on Sundays, sometimes on Tuesdays & Fridays.

The others don't even know the days of the week.

professor

You mean "knowledge" like this?
"Hurts and Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes have similar QB ratings (105 and 105.2, respectively) this postseason. Mahomes, who has played two playoff games compared to Hurts’ three, has completed 66.7 percent of his passes to Hurts’ 69 percent with an average of 211 yards per game to Hurts’ 168.3. Hurts has tossed seven touchdowns compared to Mahomes’ four, and neither has thrown a pick.
The two went toe-to-toe in the Super Bowl two Februarys ago, and the Birds won a regular-season meeting 21-17 in November of 2023."
For those of you stats geeks and analytics geniuses who believe past performance has predictive value for a pending match-up? LOL Have at it! Just a few details neglected in the "stats" noted above. How will Kellen Moore fare in his match-up with Steve Spagnuolo? What effects will Saquon Barkley and the Eagles offensive line have in facing a stingy Chiefs run defense. Will exotic blitz packages befuddle Jalen Hurts like the Packers, Rams, and Commanders did? How will Vick Fangio's defensive strategy and personnel fare against the GOAT runner-up? Will the Eagles be able to use their ball control offense as an expression of "defense", limiting Mahomes' heroics? Is Mahomes simply a mobile QB who buys time with his legs yet isn't known to be a 'running QB'? Will the Chiefs attempt, like the Commanders did, to 'hit Hurts like he's a running back? How will the Chiefs receiving corps fare against inexperienced Eagles DB"s? Can Oren Burks adequately replace Nakobe Dean? Will Brandon Graham make an unexpected return after being on IR for months? Will Cam Jurgen's bad back - a very painful endeavor for a big guy? How about Landon Dickerson's recovery from his knee injury? Will that strength of the Eagles be up to the task of 2/5ths of that O-line are limited?
And, how many times will we get to see Taylor Swift prior to her and Kelce's engagement announcement post-game presser?! (Or will he only propose if the Chiefs win?)

Yipsy

No flag on Kelce. One was thrown on the Bills.

The league is out to get the Chiefs!

Geez! It's looks like Chicago is "loaded for Bear"! I wonder if they'll replace the upstart Commanders?

Yipsy his track record lends itself to being a good assistant. But bears have a history....

One thing I know about Bears head coaches. They either have heart attacks or give them to their fans.

More for you statistics-based fans. Here are the top passers in the playoffs. Do notice where those most successful might be this morning - at practice or watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Am?

It's clearly obvious in the passing league that is the NFL that passing statistics carry the day in predicting winners!

Par4QC

professor

WTH is wrong with you? I thought you understood football.

Keep in mind those figures you are throwing about are meaningless without the other 47 players of the day. Takes the whole team to make it happen. And none of those stats mean squat.....this is a whole new ball game....a Super Bowl!! Everyone is at zero!

I hate calling people out in public.........

🤣😉

And sorry(in advance) of the repeat for the Eagles.

professor

But the statistical review would be incomplete were I to neglect the running game. So cross-reference your statistical review with the following stats! It's almost unfathomable that the Chiefs somehow managed to slip in the back door to the Super Bowl?! I mean geez, they just had the best record, right?
