Chiefs middle linebackers are playing horribly. -
NFL 2024 Kickoff: Ravens @ Chiefs, Sept 5 - 8:20pm

He looks fast he also looks really small. That said, Ill say what I said draft night...if the Chiefs call you dont answer. No reason to take that burden on. -
Like I said probably means nothing however narrowing it down to 5 Super Bowls when one team has won 40% of the last 5 probably isn't the beat sample size.

Kind of interesting. The top 16 teams in terms of value have won 68% of the Super Bowls. Of the 11 teams who haven't won a Super Bowl 9 are in the bottom 16 in terms of value. Probably means nothing but does lend some credence to the "NFL is fixed" crowd.

Currently reading Origin by Dan Brown. Tried to go back and do some David Foster Wallace but just too tedious for my lack of time. Just finished The Silence by Don Delillo. Pretty quick read. I enjoyed it.

The last five NFL MVPs have come from a team with the best or second best record in the league. Seems like thats more important to the writers than stats.

Allen got screwed last year. Brady got screwed in 2021. If you lead the league in both yards and touchdowns, you are by far the most valuable player in the league. Couldnt care less about the MVP, it subjective. Just win the Superbowl, thats not debatable.
-
He had 400 more total yards, and 5 more total touchdowns than the guy who won it last year. Think about that, he had more yards and touchdowns than the guy who won it last year, and didnt even make the pro-bowl. If you're looking for Allen to win an MVP when he cant even get in the pro-bowl with 44 total touchdowns, you may as well just come to the realization his chance of winning an MVP are minute as best. Overrated my butt. Amazingly underrated.

Weather for Opener Tailgate and Game
thenorthremembers replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall
Looks like the chance of rain for the game is minimal. I am considering taking my son to his first regular season game. -
Shouldnt be a massive concern with any team. Each year is a different year in sports.

People in the comments said the daughter had a lot of nerve using that as an obituary for her mother as she was a piece of work herself. Apparently the daughter had gotten engaged to a guy who was accused of killing two children

Is sitting down at football games normal?

Similar issue. I am only 6'2 but my knees press into the seat in front of me. -
New uniform and helmet in 2025?
thenorthremembers replied to Walking Tall's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am not sure they were talking about a new home and away design. I am pretty sure they were talking about having a new alternate design. The NFL will allow all teams to have a third helmet design beginning in 2025. So I think the assumption or "rumor" here is you may see a new alternate uniform and helmet as opposed to all reds with the current helmet. -

I am a big guy, if its not a bench, I usually stand as much as possible. -
For a team to be successful everyone has to buy in and pull in the same direction. Diggs is a hell of a football player but he is also mentally fragile. He treats teams like a spoiled kid with a new toy. Overjoyed by it for a little while and then in the garbage with it when he is bored. Somehow the guy is proud he forced his way off two teams.

Not sure how I feel about the obituary but the comments have all the feel of a 20/20 episode.

The Athletic Survey: Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson?
thenorthremembers replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Article conveniently leaves out that Allen has more passing touchdowns than Lamar has total touchdowns in his career. Last time I looked scoring touchdowns wins games. Lamar average 1.7 a game where Allen averages 2.3. Are we really going to use MVPs as a legitimate stat to compare QB play? Yes, Lamar is better because he gets more votes from a bunch of writers who likely dont understand the actual game of football. Lamar took a nice step forward as a passer last year, but if you actually watch both of them play its obvious how much better Allen is. There is only one player in the entire NFL better than Allen and his names Mahomes. -
Agreed. He really didnt see the field much as a Viking, so maybe its a case of not being given a chance because he didnt mesh with coaching staff. He is an absolute burner athletically. Odd he was knocked for his size. Pretty much what you look for in a Safety. Was it because he is tall and maybe too thin?

Brandon Aiyuk officially requests a trade
thenorthremembers replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know you're being sarcastic but kind of a novel idea. I looked and didnt see anything. But I wonder if the NFL has rules against fans "donating" money to NFL players? Particularly free agents? NCAA does it. America's entire political system is built on it. -
Iron Claw should have been a good movie, Oscar worthy movie. The story wrote itself. Instead, we got some sort of over acted, saccharine redemption story attempt. They needed to let the story breathe a bit and not suffocate it with big name stars. The casting, story development, and acting were horrible. Dont get me started on having 5'7 inch actors playing 6'2 inch people. They didnt pay any respect to who the Von Erich's were in real life. It was the first movie I'd seen in the theatres since 2016 and it was a massive disappointment.

Beane signs the free agents too.
