NFL 2023

49ers defence has turned up to play this week.

Maybe this isn’t as new as I think it is?

See, usually as I stay up to half-time because I like the show (although I was a bit disappointed to find it is Usher lol) and usually the UK broadcast has local ads or no ads at all on when it was on BBC (which I used to like because they would use the breaks to explain what was going on which was good for me because I don’t really understand it so well) but this year the broadcast is basically the raw US feed with all the American ads and it is very different!

[DMN in the House]

It's FTC all day every day, but I gotta admit, I really enjoy watching Pacheco run the ball. He runs to contact and initiates.

This could be a really fun defensive game. I think it's gonna be one of those games for hardcore fans, lots of running and defense, not a lot of scoring and offense, but because of good defense.

Are you watching on Channel 4? Sky is doing the studio stuff in a lot of breaks.

[Chris2K]

What the fuck is Kelce doing that to Andy Reid for?

[Szumi]

Travis Kelce almost tackling Andy Reid is the highlight of this game so far!

WrestleMania match then

[The Buscher]

Dre Greenlaw with possibly the most depressing SB injury of all time.

As soon as I saw it, immediately thought he tore his ACL. That's awful.

Oh shit I didn’t even know it was on either of those! I googled about watching it in the UK and just looked at the first result saying it was on DAZN. That’s 99p I’m never going to get back…

Yeah, that has to be one of the most heartbreaking injuries I've ever seen. Dude was just hyped to get back on the field and boom. Looked like a knee, too.

I've not seen an ad break in the last 20+ minutes watching on Sky.

That said, the studio crew were laughing about Taylor Swift puns and completely missed the Dre Greenlaw injury. They still haven't mentioned it, weirdly...

[gunnar hendershow]

The Greenlaw injury is devastating. Not even during a play.

Achilles. Awful. That's him out most/all of next season.

Even worse, he may have ruptured his Achilles tendon.

TRICK PLAY MAGIC!

[Szumi]

I love me a good trick play in the Super Bowl!

[gunnar hendershow]

That play was, without exaggeration, horrifically executed. Nick Bolton had no reason why he didn't take that all the way to the endzone for a pick 6. Stunning.

[Maxx]

I figured this was the most beatable Chiefs team to reach the Super Bowl, but damn, aside from that one big pass they have looked abysmal.

[Pooker]

Defense is looking amazing so far. Bummed about Greenlaw. That is so depressing.

But that trick play, holy shit. Pretty sure I pulled a muscle jumping off my couch.

[The Buscher]

Most of my betting money today is on the Chiefs.  Don’t feel too good about them right now.

That said the last couple of weeks I’ve been emotional hedge betting against them because I’m sick of them so if they lose, I’m OK with it.
