NFL 2020

KC barely beat Tampa in Nov and the Bucs D has been playing better since then. The absence of Eric Fisher will be felt.

Bucs win a disappointingly ugly game.

Tampa's pass rush caused Green Bay all kinds of problems, and with KC's line in the shape it is in, expecting Mahomes to face a lot of pressure. Although KC has shown they get get to the QB as well, and Tom Brady looked really bad when GB was able to get hits on him. Could easily see the defenses being the ones to solve the game.

Brady's 3 Super Bowl losses are all a direct result of him not getting enough pass protection and the opposing pass rush causing him to make bad throws and get frazzled.

Mahomes is not the best at picking up pass rushers until it's too late but he's so good on his feet he can buy time when he does.

Overall I think Mahomes will be under siege way too often to be able to make the big plays he's known for and TB will force a lot of FGs that allows them to win.

The last NFL I watched was the 2017 Super Bowl. Thinking of watching this one because I don't have an early start at work tomorrow (part of the reason I haven't watched since 2017.- wfh isn't all bad, eh?)

I love working from home. Gives me more incentive to get loaded until 2 am when i don't have to drive in or see people.

Not that I do that, but the option is there and its always good to have options.

If Tampa can score first, they win. If Kansas scores first, they win.

History says that ain't the case.

[DYSI]

Since I don't have skin in the game with either team, it's got me thinking - if this was the early 00's, after the Timberlake/Janet Jackson flash, who would be the halftime show act today? Britney Spears? Christina Aguilera? Creed? Matchbox Twenty?!

[Szumi]

Don't try to ruin the good mood by mentioning that second to last named band!

[gunnar hendershow]

After Janet Jackson had her career deliberately destroyed by Les Moonves they started bringing in all the low-key classic rock artists. Most of them were good fortunately. Prince had the greatest halftime show ever. And then The Who Brexited the whole concept and we went back to the top pop artists of the day with special guests.

Playing hypotheticals though, after the Timberlake/Jackson Super Bowl we'd have probably had Beyonce the next year or year after instead of waiting another decade for her to dominate a halftime show. Black Eyed Peas might have had one a few years sooner as well. Same goes for Shakira.

Basically all the people who would have gotten to do halftime shows in the 00s wound up, for the most part, doing them in the 10s.

We have made entirely too many snacks for two people to consume in the small hours of the morning.

[Chris2K]

I wasn't sure who to support during this, until I remembered that Antonio Brown plays for the Bucs now.

 

Go Chiefs.

[Colly]

I'd completely forgotten how amazing Shakira was, feels like it was years ago.

Right, I've got twenty odd quid in my Ladbrokes account, give me some terrible tips.

[The Buscher]

I’ll always remember Tom Petty at SB42 because “Free Fallin’” is a great song to play over the Pats blowing the game and the 19-0 season.

Tbf, Tyreek Hill is just as garbage of a human being

[Chris2K]

I thought the PA announcer had forgotten who she was then. 

 

"It's um.... Her, yeah, that one over there."

Oh absolutely, but Brown has a special place in my heart of hatred for giving up on the Steelers, because being the lead receiver wasn't enough for him.

[Lineker]

I don't know who this lady is but she has a great voice!

Me:  hey that Vince Lombardi hologram was kinda cool

*checks twitter*

Most of Twitter:  that Lombardi thing was cringe and shit
