@Jett129 great write up again, and unbelievable Detroit comeback. A bit like Kansas, I think they have forgotten how to lose.
As an aside, I saw the Boomtown Rats in the late 70’s at my local punk club in Birmingham. -
@IrishHeart That’s a great aside,wasn’t sure if everyone would get the reference.
-
@Jett129 I’ll stick with the Lions to beat the Jags in the Big Cat Derby.

Thought this was pretty interesting,although I’m sure it does very little to ease the pain.https://x.com/danorlovsky7/status/1855984413760217314?s=46&t=Euh58q84NS2U0MpjPZE76g

@Jett129 yeah. Alex Forsyth was targeted by the Chiefs because they knew he was the weak link. He’s been beat multiple times in the past and your coaching staff was prepared to exploit that if need be…and sure as shit, the golden opportunity arose and we didn’t address it on our end. We even moved the ball to the right hash mark putting extra pressure on Alex Forsyth. That is 100% on our coaches.

@Jett129 that’s a really interesting analysis of what happened. I was disappointed for the Broncos, but you have to hand it to the Chiefs special teams ( no pun intended).
-
@IrishHeart It was a good pun though
-
@goosehd haha, although I’m trying to be sensitive to @Mizmazzle at this difficult time!

It kind of reminds me of when the Seahawks were in the Super Bowl on the one yard line and all they had to do was hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch. They passed,Malcom Butler intercepted,and the rest is history. After the game he said they practiced when the Seahawks were in that formation it meant that they were going to pass. So many games in the NFL come down to one or two plays.

Week 11 of the NFL season kicks off tonight with a big time division rivalry,as The Eagles ,at home, face off against The Commanders. None of our 3 remaining prognosticators are on that game but…@Mizmazzle is looking for The Broncos to bounce back against The Falcons,@Twistlock needs the 49ers to be victorious over The Seahawks to keep his streak going,and @IrishHeart is looking for The Lions to beat The Jaguars in a game he has dubbed The Big Cat Derby. As usual, good luck to all. See ya Monday.

Pretty much feel the same way about baseball...
They make bad calls because baseball is boring, a game lasts 14 hours, and after five minutes everyone has fallen asleep or is on their way to get a beer.
Cricket on the other hand is as riveting on the morning of day 1 as at the end of day 5
Which is to say not riveting at all.
