2023 - 2024 March to the Super Bowl - Rodgers, Allen, Purdy, Burrows, Hurts, Mahomes et all

Finally found the Ravens game on TV. Google told me it was on USA but it wasn't. None of the local channels were showing it. Another attempt at Google told me NFL Network, which I didn't think I had in my package but maybe I do (or maybe they made it available to the local markets for the game?). If the NFL wants to maintain/increase viewership and use games abroad to increaee interest, they shouldn't make it this difficult for local fans to watch their hometown team. (And I have the same rant about MLB showing certain Friday night games only on Apple TV and MLB paid streaming this year.) #firstworldproblems

Pleased to see the Ravens playing well in the first half, but they were leading most of the game last week and we know how that turned out....

It's really frustrating now that the NFL is moving from over the air free TV (although we've used cable or streaming services for decades). I've heard how angry people are about paying for one service-like Hulu and still need to pay for Amazon Prime and NFL network. And then needing Fox Sports 2 if a game goes into overtime and your game has already started.

It's not like the NFL is going bankrupt or anything.

 

[Kasey]

MLB does the same thing. Some games only on AppleTV or Peacock. It's all about the $$

It hasn't been pretty but my Bengals have finally gotten back to .500 after beating the Seahawks this afternoon and Joe Burrow is finally starting to look more like his old self again too. Now the guys get to head into their Bye week on a good note and maybe we can finally start to get more of the guys healthy again. The tough part of the season starts up in earnest for them in two weeks (we play SF out in CA). Who Dey!!

BTW-One of our rookie WRs caught his first NFL touchdown today and was so excited about it that he forgot to get the game ball (our beat guys said he was still kicking himself from a previous game where he caught his first ever NFL pass but forgot to get that game ball) so Joe Burrow made sure it was okay and then ran over and got the ball for him while the offense was going off the field. It was also that guy's birthday today so that was even more special!

Niners finally lost (darn it) and Eagles decided if the Niners can do it, they can too ?

Yeah the Eagles certainly did not look good

I fell asleep during the niners game

Apparently Jalen Hurts dislocated the thumb on his throwing hand during that game against the never-say-die Jets. It popped back in, but it affected him

I'm glad there was a "reason" at least. With all the turnovers and the missed field goal attempt, I imagined a Jets fan with a voodoo doll, or a terminally ill child with a fervent prayer or something like that. Something about that game was not normal.

I thought Colin Cowherd made a good point about the Niners loss: First it appears the Brown’s defense might be one of the best in Cleveland’s history. Second McCaffery and Samuels were lost for large portions of the game and third a couple of timely bad calls. Purdy had a tough day but he did get the ball in field goal range. The kicker whiffed.

I hope he is well soon. I’m another Chiefs fan who loves Jason Kelce. I guess the Eagles are my NFC team. I understand the team lost both the offensive and defensive coordinators as they became head coaches. I suspect there has to be an adjustment period to get used to new coaches.

Cowboys won tonight. It was a must win situation for them because of the debacle against the 49rs last week. Chargers are nowhere near the 49rs as a team, and It was a hard fought win. I will take it. A win is a win.

Today at the Chiefs game:

I saw more Kelce shirts than Mahomes shirts
Kelce got a bigger cheer as he entered the field and was announced
The Chiefs played sloppy with way too many penalties
Kelce's theme song of "you have the right to paarrttyyy" was played everytime a first down happened
Dante Hall was inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame
Chiefs tried really hard to lose in the 4th quarter, until about 6 minutes left.
Irregardless to claims that Bud Light is being shunned because of its trans stance, a lot of Bud Light was being consumed
Taylor was reported to being in the house, but unless you read the internet, you wouldn't know it. At least from where we were sitting

Herbert is a real threat and force to be dealt with.

Finally we were seated in a section where the bathroom were right around the corner and I did not encounter a line.

Awesome! Glad you were there. I was so happy to see Mecole Hardman back and then his long run after the punt was the best. They didn't cutaway to Swift a lot but we did see her and Brittany Mahomes having a good time. I don't know if we can deal with paparazzi in KC. Apparently they were filming Kelce putting gas in his car. And then picking up a sub sandwich... Insane. He and Mahomes are mostly left alone in KC. Not now. I thought yesterday the offense finally woke up in the first half. The Chargers switched from zone to more man to man coverage in the second half and tightened the game.

I am paying attention to the macro side of the Swift/Kelce romance. The social media operated by the Chiefs has gained slightly more than 1/2 million followers since news of Swift and Kelce leaked. Of course ticket sales were always up but I guess there is more demand than ever and merchandise sales are up. I am a big fan of the Kelce brother's podcast (New Heights) and it's numbers have skyrocketed. And to their credit they have one segment called "No Dumb Questions" and the Swiftees are now asking questions about the rules of the game. And the brothers answer sincerely which is rather sweet.

Chiefs had a horrible game—Mahomes had the stomach flu and definitely had problems. But I felt badly for Viking fans as Kirk Cousins went down with a serious injury. He was playing so well.

I know that football fans can be awful - just look at the recent incidences that incurred death and injuries of fans - but the football organization itself should refrain from it.

Even if it wasn't a Chiefs game, the opposing team should not have their cheerleaders participating in taunts.

It's across the board for me. Pop Warner leagues, junior/senior high, college, CFL, NFL. Actually all sports.

Yes, I'm sad or disappointed when the teams I cheer for lose...but that doesn't excuse bad behavior on anyone's part.

The last time they won Obama was President. And I think they always believed they would remain top dog in the AFC West. So these years must have been a bitter pill to swallow. Kelce won’t be fazed. Besides the Taylor trackers say she is in KC. (How can she stand the obsessed?) Hopefully Mahomes gets well and they all enjoy Germany. Happy Halloween! ????‍???‍?‍

Bengals have a winning record again and Joe Burrow is finally looking more like the QB I know and love....it was a great day for my guys yesterday! Who Dey!!

On The Height Show today, Travis said (paraphrasing hete) that the Chiefs offense is not playing up to snuff this season. That defense is working their a$$ off. That they were working on it this week. I hope so cuz Hill isn't going to slow.down for his previous teammates.

They also had the best Halloween costumes pictures of the ones submitted. One was a guy.in a Taylor like body suit and his SO with a world map. "Taylor put Travis on the map" was a riot.

The teams know now to double team Kelce and let them find another way to win. It is frustrating. Thank God for the defense but that is not enough.

4th down failure!! Win KC

That was lucky. I'm exhausted and it isn't noon yet!

And it didn't go into to overtime- so we don't have to choose Chiefs vs Grandson's Soccer Game.

I saw Tyreek going up to Coach, Patrick, Travis and Mecole before and after the game. I have to admit that I really do miss him. He was so good AND so much fun.

The Eagles win was kind of ugly-but a win nonetheless

The Bengals-Bills game has to be so emotional and hard to play

 

[Kasey]

There were a couple of questionable calls/non-calls in the Eagles/Cowboys game, but I'm proud of how my team played mostly, they held their own with a superior team. We'll see how it goes down in a few weeks when they meet up again.

I have NFL Redzone in my viewing package so I get to see a little bit of every game between noon and six on Sunday. First of all that Texas rookie qb---Stroud---jeesus he is fearless...just throwing dimes downfield and so much poise for a rookie. But I think I was even more impressed with Josh Dobbs. He just arrived in Minnesota...didn't know ANYTHING about the Vikings system and is going over cadence with the O-line on the sideline right before kick-off. And THEN they are relaying the name of the play and then EXPLAINING what the play is between each snap. And they win the game!! Apparently he carried a perfect GPA as an aeronautical engineering student in college. I was impressed Sunday.

 

[HeatherC]

Maybe now that Joe Burrow is playing more like the Joe Burrow that we all know and love here in Cincy, the national media folks will stop talking about his calf.

And I am SO torn about CJ Stroud right now....on one hand, he's a former Buckeye standout so I'm ecstatic to see him do so well in the NFL, but on the other hand, the Texans come to Cincy for a game this coming weekend and that game just became quite a bit scarier for me as a Bengals fan, LOL

The Texans are a mystery to me....they lose to a good team like the Ravens and then beat a good team like the Jaguars and then lose to to Panthers. It is not like Miami who scorches the subpar teams but lose to those a bit higher rated. They are unpredictable.

Jason Kelce was named one of the sexiest men alive.

I guess Travis is just Taylor's BF.

Jason was on TNF with Kirk and AL in the booth. AL wanted to know if Travis was in Argentina this week. Jason said he did tell me. I dont know where.he is.

I saw that Jason was at The Wiener's Circle last night. The staff and customers throw insults at one another as a matter of course and it was funny. Practice is on Monday....that is one long trip in a weekend if Travis is going. And then it is Jason vs Travis...again. I'm glad Jason was nominated instead of Travis. I'm sure he has heard about Travis and his beauty all of his adult life. But he doesn't understand that great Dad/husband energy can be very sexy.
