Football Season

Would I be welcome, even if I rooted for the Vikings? :LOL:

I am not having any very good reason, just seeming to feel myself leaning...toward those nice purple color uniforms? :ROFLMAO:
Or perhaps I feel sorry for QB Cousins, once so touted and promising, but too inconsistent, and on mediocre teams, so doesn't win big games?
The ongoing, persistent, but mostly rather hopeless tendancy, we have to root for Underdogs, maybe?
;)

Maybe because QB of 49ers, Garoppolo is so young and new, he can wait longer than COusins, and will be loved even if he fails, unlike Cousins?

Like I said, I have no good reason :giggle:
but need to know if i would still be welcome. :LOL:

I promise I would not be so into this game, to throw anything at the TV, or any of you.

Of course you can come over Kaila, and I don't give two hoots who you root for! (Did you learn how to "root" yet?

From here on out, I have no dog in any of the hunts. We're getting down to the best of the best, and the games should be fun to watch!

No text from sis yet, so I'm off that hook -- and no games next Saturday so I'll be in her good graces if they want to meet for supper.

When the folks posted all those spreads on Thanksgiving and Christmas, they spoiled me. I want food, lots of good food.

Drinking beer when game starts, within moderation- at times the beer has made me not care who wins. "Us go drinking."

I don't know what it is among young people ( I was one once) alcohol demands, 'get in car go get more beer, booze... and dui, run over kids...
We (I) were stupid.

OD: At 88 degrees, you gott'a keep that liquid refreshment coming, after 5 or so drinks you can imagine your watching Cowboys and Pats.

Kaila:
I fear the Vikes just don't have the horses.
Vikes and Buffalo have each lost four Super Bowls, that's something. There are many teams that have yet to make it to the Super Bowl.
I think we see better football in the divisional playoffs.

I have a history of Cleveland Browns in 50's which is interesting, will post separately

Whew, even thought the outside temp is down to the 50s, it's still 88 in here.

I gotta open the door. Either that or start drinking a lot of champagne. Maybe both.

As OD say, 'don't have a dog in this hunt."
It is good to watch a game where your not emotionally involved.

Wish Lethe 200 would post who will win...200 seems to be on the money.

Two years ago I bet my neighbor $20 on the Superbowl -- I lost. No big deal.

It was the first time I ever bet on a game and it will be the last.

It distorted everything I saw about the game, I hated it. It took away the idea that it is, indeed, just "a game" -- and just enjoy watching it and may the best team win.

Ok, kickoff!

Later peeps!
 
The cowboys were the ugly duckling of the NFL from 1960-65 or 66: they played the Packers for the in to determine the winner of the NFL
crown or two years in a row.

I lived in Detroit, was single, had money in my pocket...bet a bundle two years straight-lost, lost, lost...
However, I continued to believe in the 'boys.

I finally quit betting on those rascals; all they do is make you cry.

I've bet Kaila a couple of empty Dr Pepper cans,, can't remember which teams, or the results.
If pushed, I'll vote a quarter, or a dime, no more.
Damn Packers................Damn Cowboys
 
Hold on, I'm out of Diet Dr Pepper Cans, will have to go to store.
Have you switched to Vikes, then I'll take SF
If you give me SF and they win, I'll mail you by female cat with a broken back.

She had a broken back when she wandered up here
3-4 years ago. So, there are two gimps where I live, me and the cat

If Kc vs Ravens next week will bet you the farm Kc wins
(Self-talk, that ain't a good bet boy, ah hell with that, I don't have a farm.)
 
Dumb, dumb, dumb, I thought today was Friday, turned on TV, missed entire game of SF vs Vikes. darn, darn, darn!

Thought the vikes may make a game of it.

Now, the Ravens will destroy Titians, I will pc, read and watch the game.
I guess you could say, I'm taking Ravens for granted-come on Titans shock me!
 
I'd wanted an invite to this football party, where none of us care who wins?:rolleyes::LOL:

And to a watch-party, when we don't reliably tune in on time?:oops::sneaky:

No wonder, it seems to have gone a bit off the rails. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, should be a cakewalk for the Birds.

Where is Kaila on this one?

I a diabetic, I have periods of extreme weakness, can't keep my eyes open.
Was watching Ravens, score was 14 to 3, had to go to bed.

Got up around 1A.M., surprise-Ravens lost.
I've thought someone would figure out a way to stop Ravens. One way is to keep ball away from Ravens.
Did the Titans grind it out, having eight minute drives?

I had not figured Titans for a rock-um-sock um team like the Steelers.

Watching NFL Channel Running back for Titians got 195 yards rushing!!!!
Jackson (Ravens qb) got 135 rushing yards?

Is's 22 degrees in Green Bay, not cold enough to effect Seahawks-you think?
KC Stadium looks cold, didn't get temp.

As K and OD said, it is good to watch a game where you don't have an emotional involvement.
I would like to see JJ Watts introduce himself to Mahomes with a body shaking tackle.

I kind'a want to root for Texans, but vague on that, KC is the better team.

Jerry: It was a surprising game. Ravens never really caught their stride, missed a lot of passes, etc. By the mid- late-third quarter it didn't look winnable. Titans defense kept them rattled. And the Ravens couldn't stop Titans Derrick Henry.

Haha, one of the talking heads said, before the game started, that the Ravens were the best team in the NFL. Not any more!

Today: Imma root for Mahomes only because I like watching him. He's young and makes it look so easy.

Plus the Texans beat my Bills, so I wanna see them go down in flames!

Late game -- I have no favorite. Are they predicting any snow?
 
I would have liked to see Super Bowl with Bills and 49's and have Buffalo wins game.
Remember Bills made Super Bowl four times, that's four consecutive years; we'll not see that gain.
Yea, they lost all four games, but 4 SB's in a row was an accomplishment.

I picked KC and Saint's for Super Bowl, maybe Mahomes will make me 50% correct.
See post 663, 22 degrees,
It is hard to beat Green Bay at their stadium in important games.
Home field advantage is usually 3 points, per the pundits; I would say it is more in Green Bay.

Do not like Aaron Rodgers, do not like Pete Carroll-Russell is best field general in NFL, but playing in Green Bay it's
difficult to beat Green Bay at home.

Where's K, Bonnie, Lethe?

The Bills aren't really good enough at this point to be in the SB.

I saw your note about the temp, but I was wondering about snow.

Yes, where is K?
 
Thanks for asking about me, you two.
I too have health problems, that interfered last night... and this morning, too, but I am alright.

I had watched parts of the Balt/Tenn game... which was surprising to me, too...I expected Balt to win by landslide....

Amazing in the parts I did see,
how well the Tenn defense did, at consistently keeping Balt QB, who is usually very mobile,
Inside an odd-shaped pocket, with sides on it, so he could make fewer runs, and couldn't have his footwork, for going to either side or forward, or for setting his feet for throws or making his decisions, therefore.

Tenn definitely game-planned specifically, to beat Pats last week, and then again, to specifically beat Balt, this one. Good planning on their part, and execution by their players.

Balt usually leans (too) heavily on their QB, and he tried nearly 60 throws, I read today, with his OC giving up on the run plays in 2nd half. Bad decision, IMO.
NOT the way the Ravens played all season, and not successful for them. That's too many QB throws for most any team to be successful.

Meanwhile, that Tenn RB Henry....wow..... which sets up the passes for the not-great QB for Tenn. that they do NOT need to lean on. It was a success for them!

I had to go to bed, also, but still expected Balt would make a comeback win , but no, they didn't.
OK.

So, there are lots of upset wins last weekend and this one.
Doubt that KC will fall, today, or next week, but who knows.
I too, have a soft spot for JJ Watt.... but he cant play for his entire team. Though he gets close to doing that, and did, last week.

I too thought Saints would/should go to Superbowl, last year, and this one, but no.

I think Seattle could beat Packers, today, even AT Packers.
Weather variations doesn't bother either of those teams, is my view.... and Seattle doesn't care if they are home games or not. They beat Brees and Saints at their place, and other away games, too.

Though, both Packers and Seattle have been inconsistent, so the win might go to either, and wouldn't surprise me today.

Those are just my views...

You believe that?
I don't believe KC took lead has to be fake news.
The call on the line of scrimmage pass was doubtful

Texas in bad need of halftime.
 
Thanks, OldD.
Yes, I have had a rough day, had to retreat again....
but am alright.
