NFL 2022 Season

[Muse]

I've been to both cities more than once and while I would never live in either one by choice I'd have to give the edge to Tampa far as nice places to be.

Dallas is like a lame spread out NYC in the middle of a scrub-desert populated with bottom-feeder rednecks who can't even drive in the rain, god-forbid anything frozen.

Been to both places once. Visited the Grassy Knoll driving from CA to east coast a couple months after JFK's blood was spilled there. Tampa for a couple days because there was a doctor there doing a state of the art surgical procedure I needed.

I figure odds of not being totally grossed out actually living in those places favor Tampa.

I could live in Tucson. I'd probably miss the beach after a while. Tampa...there's other parts of Florida I'd rather be (no, not Miami).

It's not the beach itself I'd miss, it's living really near the coast.

Cowboys vs Brady, who do I hate more?

Go Cowboys.

I hear ya. I hate both of those teams with a passion that my wife/GF thinks is very twisted as my hate for them goes back to the 80s and 90s and she says these current players weren't even born yet, and yet while thats true, I am a diehard Buffalo Bills fan since the 70s and that will never change.

On that note, I hate Tom Brady more than I hate the Cowboys, so, go DAK!

It’s the cold arctic Pacific current that makes costal California desirable. Other coasts are either humid or it’s the irrelevant current called the Labrador.

The NFC Least contributes 3 of the four teams in the final four of the conference.

ALL of the above??

*(EXCEPT I hate the Cowpie's, Iggles and Cummanders)

DJ looked amazingly competent the other day, passing, running, whatever.

I still love Daniel Jones as a Commanders fans. He'll never be Josh Allen but I hope Mara thinks otherwise.

He does that to Washington all...the...time....

I don't think he will be Josh Allen, I mean he certainly isn't going to run over linebackers. But that's ok. Josh Allen's and Mahomes type QB's are very rare all things considered. I think Daniel Jones playing at his potential with a respectable group around him though could easily be a franchise QB.

Josh Allen wasn't Josh Allen his first year with the Bills. I love that boy! Given me hope since the Kelly era!

I have some potentially VERY bad news for you unless your team finishing behind the Giants every year for awhile is your idea of fun.



If I'VE come around anyone can... Jones has improved tremendously and is certainly good enough to win the way he's playing now. (with a solid well-run team around him!)

My team is already Daniel Jones' bitch.

 

[Torn Mind]

I will say this, if there's a team that can troll its way to a Super Bowl and upset all of the favorites...it's the Giants.

The most hilarious outcome would be...Josh Allen losing to Daniel Jones. And Bills Mafia rages like its 1991 all over again.

 

[Captante]

I'll be very surprised if we beat the Eagles this weekend BUT it is the third time this season and historically beating any NFL 3 times in a row is really tough.

 

[96Firebird]

I have been tasked with securing tickets for potential AFC Championship game in ATL for Bills vs KC. Any idea how much tickets in the lower bowl between the 30s might be?

My gf's mom has Bills season tickets that date back to the 60's, so we get pre-sale selection in the first round of tickets tomorrow morning. Since her mom will be busy, I have to use her info and get the tickets. I honestly have no idea how much the tickets will be, I've been hearing reports all over the map. Luckily I will be gifted my ticket, but I do have a max I'm allowed to spend per ticket.

Well that all depends little fella.... how much ya got??

ASSUMING the Bills beat the Bengals and you lose out in the sales lottery tomorrow, prepare to check out Stubhub and/or Seat-Geek and have the Platinum card ready.

I think I'll be able to get tickets tomorrow, just worried about the retail price. I'll be ordering in the first wave (10am), I can't imagine they would sell out of pre-sale tickets in the first round but not really sure how it works. Only a certain amount allotted per time slot, or full allotment at 10am and then it gets opened up for the rest of the season ticket holders (11am, 12pm, 1pm, etc...)?

And if they don't make it, it was a good run for 'em.

Edit - Since I'm getting reimbursed for what buy, I was told to spend around $500 each but could probably stretch it to $700...

Tampa Bay sucked all year....they were 24th on offense. Dallas had to beat them or they were going to be laughed out of the NFL.

That said, Cowboys have to beat the 49ers, then the Eagles* and then the Bills*.....I'm still doubtful they can beat all three of those teams and take the Superbowl Trophy.

Keep Watching....

 

[MrSquished]

Giants have a shot, albeit not a huge one. The last match with the Iggles we rested a lot of starters. But in the first match with them, we had a lot of key injuries - Leonard Williams, Landon Collins, Jarrad Davis, Adoree’ Jackson and Xavier McKinney did not play. The last two are two of our best secondary players, Williams is a crucial DL and Collins has been a nice addition. Also Barkley was on the sidelines for a lot of the game. This gives me hope this will be a more competitive game now that the Giants are finally healthy.

Easy there champ, they have to survive the weekend before you can entertain thoughts of running the table. The road for any wild card team is difficult (all road games), but subjectively the Cowboys fit the profile of a strong team that has a fair chance. 538's model has them as 10% to win the Super Bowl, which is 5th best (and about 40% to beat the Niners and advance).

Unfortunately, reversion to the mean is a thing and I'm worried you won't see the same Cowboys team in Santa Clara as last week's Goliath. Only time will tell.

 

[JujuFish]

Bills-Bengals is the only match that "should" be close, but I do like the Giants' odds and I'm pulling for Schoen/Daboll.

Jarrad Davis is a key injury? ouch, he's not been very good for either the Lions or the Jets, tries his damnedest but always out of position . I think Jones is a decent QB, he doesn't have much to work with though so his successful season is a pleasant surprise tbh

Bills-Bengals is the only match that "should" be close

The Bengals apparently have some serious O-line injury problems with 3 of 5 starters out.

The only reason they didn't get knocked out by the Ravens last weekend was sheer incompetence by Harbough and multiple blunders on the field by players, culminating with the "1st and goal fumble/TD" on a straight-up STUPID and SELFISH try for a TD when 3 points wins the dang game.

It wasn't because of anything the Bengals did right in that game, that's for sure.

I do like the Giants' odds and I'm pulling for Schoen/Daboll

I think the Giants have a shot IF (and it's a huge "if") they can keep Daniel Jones from getting repeatedly clobbered like the last time he played vs Philly AND the defense shows up 100%.

Unlike the Vikings girly-man pass-rush the Eagles are downright intimidating in that department and I'm expecting a long day for the NY offense.
