Anyone watch Football? NFL that is :)

I'm glad the Niners got the first loss now and not later in the season.   

Losing to the PJ Walker led Browns is not one I saw coming! Losing your best two players to injury didn't help, nor did some questionable officiating.

Even the worst team in the NFL still has a team full of stars at the collegiate level.  There is really no nfl team that is UNTALENTED.  There are just teams with more talent.  And sometimes that talent gets caught sleeping on people.

Don't think I'll ever understand how we won that game yesterday?! 

[Rankles75]

Bit of a predictable Playoffs after the Wild Card round. Never gave the Ravens much of a chance against the Chiefs, despite their impressive regular season and having home field advantage, they're just not a good Playoff team these days.

The Lions only really have themselves to blame for not reaching their first ever Super Bowl, blowing a 24-7 lead in San Francisco. Not kicking a game tying FG at 27-24 down made no sense at all, and ultimately cost them.

Think the Chiefs win the Super Bowl fairly comfortably.

...again

I don't like either team, but Kansas City has an all time U of Kentucky great on it in Mike Edwards, and another guy on the practice squad in Darian Kinnard, so I guess I have to root for them. 

Being a long suffering cowboys fan in the NFC, I can't abide the 49ers.  I do think the 49ers have a decent chance.  They have lots of firepower themselves, and Purdy sometimes has that magic about him that is hard to prepare for.  The Chiefs SHOULD win, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the 49ers get the W.

Looks like the Niners are favored to win, at least from sites like ESPN and betting platforms.  Niners winning would be a perfect way to get retribution from their last Super Bowl meeting in 2020.

haha As a Niners fan, I was rooting for the Cowboys against the Packers.  It's ok, Kimarhi, root for Red and Gold.

To me its hard to root against the Champs when they are in the finals.  Of any sport.

Come on, you guys all know the outcome has already been determined, right?  I just heard all about it on Fox News.

It's a shame jets look like they have a solid team except for the QB position. I'm a pats fan so I won't complain too much, but do feel for rodgers.

I feel like Eagles and Niners definitely going to be the teams to beat in the NFC. And in the AFC no matter how the season starts the Chiefs are still going to be the team to beat once playoff time comes. It'll be interesting to see what it looks like by week 10 or so.

At the moment I got Niners vs Chiefs though

Wow this aged well

[Rankles75]

Chiefs to win something like 31-17. 49ers are a strong team from top to bottom, but I don't think they match up particularly well with KC, and they've been fortunate to win their previous two games.

Mahomes to throw for 3 TDs, Pacheco to go over 100 rushing yards and a TD, Chiefs Defense to force a couple of turnovers. Just hope we don't have too much Taylor Swift forced down our throats, although it's a pretty forlorn hope...

Overtime rules just cam up on the telly.  Umpire then repeated them to the players.  I still have no clue what they're doing.  American football is slower and more complicated than a five day test cricket match.

Chiefs won.  Will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift on the 50 yard line now?

Yup. Football has been absolutely killed by letting the refs and commercials take over.

Great season overall both on and off the field, with viewership continuing to rise and the expansion of the International Series. Just sucks that the Jets are still nowhere near competing for a Super Bowl.

Only surprise for me about last night's game was that it was so close. Chiefs weren't at their best, but the 49ers didn't take advantage of their opportunities and had some key injuries. Just typical that the winning score came from a player who the Jets dumped because we couldn't find a role for him...
