The Official QQ NFL Tailgate Thread

The NY Giants saga this year just gets worse and worse. The guys on ESPN are noting that the NY Rangers have won a game in Met Life Stadium more recently than the Giants have. It was last years Winter Classic.

And to make things worse, the Jets at 4-10 are twice as good as the 2-12 Giants.

I guess that sending the Mets and Yankees to the league championships, the Yankees to the World Series, the NY Rangers winning The President's Trophy, and the Knicks to the conference semifinals has its price.

You know, watching the Jets is often interesting, like yesterday's game. Look at some of the close scores:

Jets 24 Titans 17
Broncos 10 Jets 9
Vikings 23 Jets 17
Bills 23 Jets 20
Patriots 25 Jets 22
Colts 28 Jets 27
SeaTurds 26 Jets 21
Dolphins 32 Jets 26 (OT)
Jets 32 Jags 25

The Jets have the Rams and the Bills coming up, and you know they badly want to do those two teams some playoff harm.

GO BILLS! The Lions had no answers for the Josh Allen and Co., and while it was only a one-score game at the end, the Bills clearly had control over Detroit for much of the afternoon.

Wierd. The Chiefs got 6 turnovers from the lowly Browns. Six turnovers!!!! Yet they only scored 14 points off of them which was the margin of thier win. Mahomes was hit on 1/3 of his pass plays, eventually getting injured. It's like the O line dissappeared

Bills at Lions. 90 total points. Are you not entertained?

You are right, a lot of close games they lost... I hadn't realized that. They could be 11-3 , in Bizarro world, if they'd have won them all...
NO WAY! ..but it's interesting to think about
FWIW- Jets should have kept Leonard Williams.

If the Jets had a time machine, and could get 60 all-time all-pro players and coaches all in their prime, and only had to pay them $0.25 an hour in the year 2525 dollars, Woody would find a way to get rid of every one of them.

The Chiefs continue to apply a big curse on all their opponents, but it won't last forever.

The Lions apparently lost more than just a game on Sunday. Three season ending injuries. Most notable is RB David Montgomery with a torn MCL. DL Alim McNeill has a torn ACL. CB Khalil Dorsey was carted off the field with a broken leg.

Add to that CB Carlton Davis is out for six weeks with a fractured jaw. I think a couple of these guys were already replacements for previously injured starters.

Yowza. Sorry Ricky.

That game was a crapfest. Frustrating, sloppy and a palpable dread from the crowd once the Browns showed they were more about being terrible than capable. Overall, the Browns are awful and the Chiefs are very beatable. It will be interesting to see if KC can man up and take control or fall apart as they nearly have each week.

Ugh...It's awful the way a key injury or a string of injuries can ruin a team's season. So is the team that has the least amount of starters out injured going to win the Super Bowl?

It's always a factor.

In the meantime, the local news did a story on the cost of Super Bowl tickets. Sourced right from the NFL, a ticket to the game and a pre game party starts at $8700 per person. The price is expected to go up as the date approaches and the teams are known. Then you still need transport to New Orleans plus a place to stay.

OMG!!!! I feel like such a pauper.

 

[LuvMyQuad]

Apparently, fans can't get enough Josh Allen. This kind of attention sort of bugs me.

If you're a pauper then I'm a Peasant!
Ticket prices for the Super bowl has become a joke. Even if I received a total freebie for everything, I'd pass on going. It's getting to be annoying just watching it on TV.
The 1st AFL/NFL Championship game tickets were $6, $10 & $12. Inflation can't even account for the present prices!
..but greed can!

I agree completely with you LuvMyQuad. I've never liked that....even when the Packers were involved!
Now, week #18 is totally TBD. So if you had tickets to any of those games, how could you plan anything?
