The NFL Thread

I really don't understand Garrett getting the DPOY award - he was great the first half of the year, and then had no sacks the last 7 weeks, and both TJ Watt and Micah Parsons beat him in almost every statistical category by the end of the year.

I think all of the advanced metrics had Garrett and Parsons on a different level than everyone else.

I think the advanced metrics are useless if all of the normal, actually football relevant metrics like sacks, pressures, quarterback hits and hurries, tackles, tackles for loss, forced fumbles and passes defended disagree with them. Watt beat Garrett in all of those categories, that actually affect an NFL game.

Pressures and forcing double teams also impact nfl games and give you a better idea of how an edge rusher is impacting a game more than sacks and pass breakups.

What a Hobson’s choice as a Raiders fan to have either the 49ers or Chiefs win the Super Bowl in your own bloody stadium, eeesh!

Still, 9ers are the preference but unfortunately have the inclination the Chiefs will win - thinking 27-20

Same. I’m going for the Chiefs by 6. Slightly lower scoring than your prediction though: 23-17.

That sounds horrible, you poor thing

I think Chiefs win by 7, Mahomes MVP

I took KC and the under (was 54.5 at the time)....

I think Mahomes wins MVP, but couldn't resist throwing a couple bucks on Kelce at 17-1

 

[werty]

The fuck was that from Kelce?

Man is reacting like he bet money on himself to score 1st TD of the game.

Kelce starting to shake it off for the second half.

 

[werty]

That was a great catch by the holder.

 

[werty]

That certainly changed things.

Chiefs cooking atm. Huge play and stroke of luck there too.

 

[kthwlsn]

Didn't know if the niners had it in them to get momentum back. Well played by them.

ETA holy crap that blocked PAT.
