The Official QQ NFL Tailgate Thread

[ar surround]

the playoffs are what they play for and that Kansas City QB is light years better than Lemar when it counts the most....IMO the most important trait a QB can have isn't having a strong arm or the ability to run like a halfback...it is DECISION MAKING...next is leadership...

I fully agree with you that Lamar has not exhibited those decision making and leadership skills. But the problem for us non-KC fans is that Patrick Mahomes is also better than all of the other QBs in the league.

Think about it…which of the active QBs would you want on your team to win one big game?

Patrick first. then the baby faced assassin. That kid in Buffalo is pretty clutch. Stafford is a gamer --but gettin old. The kid in SanDiego and the kid at the Houston Oilers.

Only four teams have ever come back from down 3-0 in an NHL series...

Oilers looking good so far, 3-1 up, end of the 1st period.

EDIT: 90 seconds into the 2nd and now it's 4-1.
EDIT AGAIN: 5 minutes in and now 5-1
Could be a slaughter.
EDIT AGAIN: Actually, I don't know what score would be a "slaughter" in hockey as I'm a newbie.
EDIT YET AGAIN: 6-1 now with 5 on 3 players (I mean, you'd have to score having a two-man advantage, right?).
EDIT JUST KEEPS ON COMING: 7-1 now.
PREVIOUS EDIT OF A MINUTE AGO WAS TOO SOON: 8-1 now. Slaughter?

AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!

From Australia to Canada? Mr Kropotkin you have quite the sports eye. Much respect.

I thought that was some freaky sex act on the ice when I first heard it, "they've pulled the goalie!"

I don't know much about hockey (though I do now pronounce it that way since it's "ice hockey" in Oz, and "hockey" there is called "field hockey" here), but the Panthers' goalie has been the biggest difference up to now, amazing saves every game (MVP as you might say?)

 

[cbmmm3]

so Petr, let me chart out what will happen in the next few days since you are new to hockey. The Oil will win this game convincingly, Then we go back to Florida for game 5. Now that The Oil has rattled the starting goalie we have a damn good chance. Game 5 NEEDS to be domination by The Oil once again. Rattled Panthers goalie once again.
If this happens you may see something that has not happened since 1942 --and Im not talking about the Battle of New Guinea

Well, that's a pretty obscure tease, but to take a guess...If the Oilers win the final four games they will be the first team since 1942 to win the Stanley Cup, having been 3-0 down.

um, final THREE games. Just to be accurate

Er, I was accurate when I responded; you replied after the game finished.

In the NBA finals, the Mavs were also down 3 games to 1 and also slaughtered the Celtics in game 4.

Both the Panthers and Celtics took the night off. I don't expect any miraculous comebacks in either series, but if so I hope it's the Oilers.

if The Oil were to go down to Florida and blow them out - again - ( and on visitor ice ) then there is a chance they can pull this off. Odds are pretty big though

 

[JohnN]

The Oilers have to dig every bit as deep now as they did back when they got off to a 2-9-1 start to the season, when everyone had written them off the first time.

Back then, they rallied to win streaks of eight and then 16 games to push their way into the playoff picture.

A sign? Go Buffalo!
A rare white buffalo calf, reportedly born in Yellowstone National Park's Lamar Valley, is shown on June 4, 2024, in Wyo. The birth fulfills a Lakota prophecy that portends better times, according to members of the American Indian tribe who cautioned that it’s also a warning more must be done to protect the earth and its animals.

Actually, they’ve joined the NFL where their motto is “White Buffalo can’t win” (a motto that they stole from the Lions). However, they never lose at home, that being Yellowstone.

Bill Belichick has signed a nonbinding short term contract with the NFL affiliated Viagra League. Insiders, however, are now reporting that he will soon be listed as PUP (sorry Jeff!).

When asked what their relationship was based on, Belichick refused to comment but he did supply this picture;
