The 9ers D is too good to lose and the Chiefs D can't stop their running game.

I second this. Reply #10000.

The Chiefs stopped a Derrick Henry run game but can they stop someone like Mostert, who isn't a Derrick Henry?

A Chiefs team who 'stopped' a Tennessee team with no receivers and a decent QB while looking trash half the game?
They're not stopping the 9ers running game because the 9ers have more than one player.
Also they have a better O Line than the Titans.

The Niners defensive front is going to be tough for Mahomes to handle. Not to mention they got Richard Sherman out in the secondary.

Because I did not do Week 1, here are my official rankings if every pick I had was perfect, and this is based on regular season rankings only:


1- SF (15-0)
2- MIN (12-3)
3- LAR (12-3)
4- BAL (11-4)
5- NE (11-4)
T-6- KC, DAL, IND, GB (10-5)
T-10- CLE, NO (9-6, made playoffs)
12- TEN (9-6, did not make playoffs)
13- PHI (9-6)
T-14- SEA, HOU (8-7)
T-16- OAK, CHI, DEN, ATL (7-8)
20- JAX (6-9, nice)
T-21- NYG, TB, CAR, PIT, LAC (5-10)
T-26- MIA, DET, ARI (4-11)
T-29- NYJ, CIN, WAS (2-13)

As you can tell there’s quite a bit of bias but I was close... with like 10 teams.

I choose Kansas City for the Super Bowl

I'm also kinda surprised we have only 10k posts here

Well, football isn't the most common thing on NSG: that's dominated by politics and general information. However, I will say this is the second NFL thread; the first is filled up, of course.

The onside kick alternative (taking a 4th and 15 at your own 25 yard line) will be in effect during the pro bowl.

I wanna see Lamar Jackson fake them out of their shoes on one of these. One thing though, I don't like calling this play an onside kick. Where's the frigin' kicker in this? You can't have an onside kick without a kick. Just sayin'.

It’s also WAY more achievable than recovering a typical onside kick.

Umm... yeah, but it's still not an onside kick. If this play becomes too easy for certain teams to continue possession, then this play will happen all the time. Imagine your D almost never being able to get off the field versus some teams. It's not a pretty picture and the rule isn't equally fair to all teams. However, I'd like to see it abused in the ProBowl really bad. Like both coaches refrain from kicking off. Let's see how ugly this thing can get.

This is actually the fourth one I know of. We had one started by a user called TaQud, one by a user called Tiami, one started by myself that I had transferred over to Ranoria, and then this one by Ranoria. So in reality, we're probably closing in on 50,000 total NFL thread posts.

This is about the dumbest thing I've heard yet.

Hey guys. Big Chiefs' fan here.

Just wanted to say, I'm so overwhelmed that my team made it to the Super Bowl. Unbelievable.

Hell yeah, ah the memories! My first posts were on the TaQud's one, but as New Jerzylvania. Then Tiami was a big Pats fan and we had some good go rounds. Ran's a good man and his Titans did him proud.

The threads may be from long ago, but our fanbases never change! We got the Lions, Vikings, Ravens, Titans, Steelers, Pats, Niners, etc.

[Trollgaard]

Chiefs in the SUPER BOWL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS!

This is gonna be a great game. The Chiefs and KC are ready and hungry for this super bowl.

[Minimark]

Cheifs by a field goal. I swear the NFL rigged this to give us our best matchup

I am proud that the Vikings are one of the best represented teams on the forum.

Quite surprised nobody on the forum is openly a Packers fan that I know of.

If I'm recalling correctly, I think Saint Ryvern is a Packer fan...
