Saquon’s Birthday Bash! A Super Bowl Open Thread

Let’s not waste any time on an ill-thought-out preamble.

To The Game!

Eagles/Chiefs:

-Spags Alert!: The Chiefs have allowed but one 100 yard rusher this year. The bad news for Saquon? It was a QB by the name of Lamar! and it was waaay back in week one.

-Here’s some more bad news for Philly-Mahomes is 8-0 vs Fangio defenses. However, this is the first time in his playoff career that he’s playing against a #1 ranked unit.

-Though Hurts went for 246 two weeks ago, in the other two games he threw for less than 146 yards.

-Much has been made of K.C. having won 17 straight one score games but the Eagles have been tested and their record this year in those games is 9-2.

-Jake Elliot being 1 of 8 from 50+ yards is going to affect Sirianni’s decision-making. Will Philly fans be cognizant of this should a choice fizzle? You know the answer.

-During these playoffs the Eagles D has forced 10 turnovers and they have not turned the ball over yet. As a matter of fact, Hurts hasn’t thrown an INT since November 10th.

-Sirianni is the only coach to reach the playoffs and go to two Super Bowls in his first four years. (I thought Seifert might have done so but he missed the playoffs in his third year with a 10-6 record and won his 2nd Super Bowl in his fifth year. Btw, does anyone remember him coaching Carolina?)

-As you may have guessed, Patty’s QBR is 10 points higher in the postseason.

-Potential wide receiver surprises today? I’ll take D-Hop, who has only one catch so far. He’s a proven guy and Reid has a habit of going to an unlikely source at an important time. On the other side Devonta Smith will not attract much attention-he could erupt.

-Reid is 33-7 with two weeks to prepare for a game.

-Though the best part of his game is scrambles and designed runs, Hurts led all QB’s in completion percentage over expectation this season. (+7%)

-Should they win, the Chiefs +59 point differential (to this point in the season) would be the 4th-lowest of any Super Bowl victor. It pains me to say it but should that happen, it would be Andy’s (and Spags!) best coaching job ever.

Get in here and do your thing. And you folks we haven’t seen in some time, please do drop by and say hello. We’d love to see you!

SonOfSpam

THAT WHAT THE RUMOURS ARE

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Booooooooooooo

Don T

Evenin. Trying, and failing, to pace meself. Hey Bad Bunnt wooooo!

ThePirateSloth

I’d be totally fine if this turns into the Eagles systematically taking apart the Chiefs in a boring one sided game.

Beerguyrob

The refs are running incredible cover by calling all these penalties on the Chiefs early.

litre_cola

Sadly I thought this as well

SonOfSpam

WOOO SHARKY MONEY INCOMING!!!

Mr. Ayo

Appropriate they’re call the Chefs because they’re getting cooked.

Unsurprised

DunKings should merge with Draft Kings to form the largest collection of assholes outside of Balls’ browser history.

Petronel

…there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts donut hole joke in there somewhere…

Gumbygirl

I choked down the first shittay beer. Went with the Sonics mug, that helped.

Beerguyrob

As long as that also keeps the Thunder from winning a NBA title.

The Maestro

Started the first quarter off with some five-layer dip made by yours truly.

Second quarter will be homemade chicken fingers with four different sauces.

Third quarter is ribs and Caesar parm potatoes.

Be still my heart.

Doktor Zymm

*but Nawt heart failure still

BrettFavresColonoscopy

These wings are hotter than expected! Not mad at the limey fuckers here.

makeitsnowondem

You want to visit a country that has no idea what to do with wings, go to Denmark.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

To be clear, I’m not 100% that these aren’t pheasant drums or something but they’re tasty

yeah right

Or Ireland.

Doktor Zymm

Spicy catsup!

yeah right

Son in law also brought a large pepperoni, sausage pie and some wings.

There may be leftover enchiladas if anyone is in the neighborhood.

The Maestro

My sister’s dog’s name is Barqley. Named for the root beer and not for the running back. At any rate they’re all having a good time tonight.

Mr. Ayo

The Gang Ends a Dynasty

Doktor Zymm

No luck on the hotel TV, although I did learn about Japan’s newly released current account numbers

makeitsnowondem

Tina Belcher’s watching football for the first time this year and congratulations to her on learning about the tush push.

makeitsnowondem

Eagles drawing first blood. I haven’t seen this since Far Cry 5.

yeah right

Welcome Alot!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Gentleman

Gumbygirl

Nice!

litre_cola

Dotson bahahahahaha.

Beerguyrob

NICE WORK SPAGS!

Mr. Ayo

Wow, good to see the Iggles offering of cheesesteaks was so appreciated by the refs.

Redshirt

Flag on Kansas City? Did the check bounce?

yeah right

High hit.

yeah right

Bullshit upon review.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

“WHERE?”

— Trent Green

BrettFavresColonoscopy

MJD telling the Brits “this is what some people call a makeup call”

Beerguyrob

Okay CTV, I have seen enough FanDuel ads for one fucking day.

Gumbygirl

I do enjoy Eugene Levy’s eyebrows.

King Hippo

1) Is it over yet?

2) I had a nice, 4-hour depression nap earlier so I have lots of insomnia to look forward to.

3) BIG THANKS to Fronk for making the “Happy Hippo?” reference in the early thread, allowing me to revel in the Plymouth Argyle win. Smacks ass. HARD!

herodotus450

By this time next year we’ll have an executive order mandating all super bowl commercials are just a Kentuckian reading from the Book of Ephesians.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fuck it, let’s see how the Brits fuck up buffalo wings

Beerguyrob

Mushy peas, or mushy peas flavoUr?

yeah right

/ looks around. I actually like mushy peas

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Me, too. Had some tonight with fish and chips. Should NOT be eating again but feel like it’ll help me stay awake.

King Hippo

Boiled, yet somehow still undercooked and salmonella-y?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

Tell them they’re actually pronounced “Boof-alo” wings.

The Maestro

Look, man. I have a soft spot for British food. It’s not about the appearance. It’s not even about the texture (mostly). It’s all about that flavour and that sweet, sweet cholesterol content.

Gatoraids

probably have some kinda of bean sauce on em

Doktor Zymm

Made with actual geneticall engineered buffalo and catsup

yeah right

Son in law just walked in with an icy cold sixer of Sculpin.

Yes. Yes please.

Redshirt

3 and out, Chiefs? Is that legal?!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I don’t think I get normal commercials here so let me know how Elon’s anti USAID propaganda ad is on a scale from student council campaign ad to Leni Riefenstahl

herodotus450

Remember all the celebrity cameos in “Office Linebacker,” the best super bowl commercial that has ever existed? That’s what made it good, right?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Terry Tate? WOOOOOOO

Redshirt

…on the payroll.

There’s the Shield.

Brocky

Can’t touch the defender in the face mask I don’t know why people don’t know that

Spur

Refs are gonna feast today

Redshirt

Walk off the field, Philadelphia.

Petronel

Successful conversion by the Iggles, 15 yards and loss of down

Gumbygirl

Hey girlie! Glad you’re here!

Petronel

Hey! Thanks! Good to be here!

(fuck the Chefs)

Gumbygirl

Amen, sistah!

Gatoraids

Chiefs play makers making plays already!

litre_cola

Boom. Great call!

Beerguyrob

Hands were in the face.

Mr. Ayo

Looks like I don’t need to throw any more flags. Refs got me from here.

Spur

OPI!!!!!!!!!!!HAHAHA

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

“Who you rooting for, Low Commander?”

“Well, as a San Diego sports fan, I am morally opposed to dynasties.”

clint greasewood

New scoreboard looks interesting. Like generic looking

Redshirt

That is the cheapest sportsbug graphic I’ve seen, and I’m including preseason games.

Mr. Ayo

The Superb Owl is a great time to introduce a new chyron.

Mr. Ayo

That said, it’s pretty good so far.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Ok there’s a group of Brits right behind me that have no idea what the fuck is happening. One just called our “FIRST DOWN” after Saquon picked up 4 yards on his first carry.

Doktor Zymm

Fun! As the American, you should introduce them to Hippospeak and also just make shit up
