The Official QQ NFL Tailgate Thread

Landman on Paramount+ is my next go-to program. How much we watch it depends on if Mrs Surround thinks the lead actor is hot.

Tell her that Billy Bob's crazy wife is hot.

So @cbmmm3 , I know that deadbeat RickyPicks' specialty is only NFL games, but does MontalbanMusings have any thoughts on the ND vs PSU game tomorrow night.

hey AR
RP is still hurting. He got a really bad spanking last weekend. Really bad. PM if you want to know. Not sure he will be off AssChew protocol to be able to make upcoming predictions

Now me - I know who I would like to see win - PSU. But, The Irish have some sort of good chemistry and momentum at the moment. This is going to be one awesome game. I think Irish win due to a higher performing offense

I do have a Amazon Prime Account, it is $139.00 per year.
I think it is absurd that the NFL will have a playoff game that many in the US will not be able to watch.

This is a bad trend. Last year it was Peacock having a playoff game; this year it's Amazon.
...I wonder how many hundreds of millions $ these wannabes are paying for the broadcast rights?
I can say that they aren't getting my money....

Hurts gone means the Eagles are done like dinner.

Go Bills!

I don't know about that. Philly has won 2 games w/o him in there. The last game they played their 3rd string QB & still won.
When you have a running game with Barley & a tough defense, you don't need a lot more. GB will have their hands full in this upcoming game!
I imagine Hurts will play & be effective!

Edit: Hey JohnNy, saw your comments.....With all I said, I still most definitely hope my Packers win! (..& so does @cbmmm3. But he does because he wants a 'cakewalk' thru the playoffs... Right Ricky?).
I saw that Philly is only a 3.5 point favorite. I understand home field is generally worth 3 so otherwise Phillies' a 1/2 point better.
GB keys to a win: get at least 2 turnovers, Jacobs 100+ yrs. rushing, the 'D' can tackle, get out to a good start, wr's can catch passes.
...regardless of the outcome I'm happy with GBs season . They won 2 more games than they did last year= Progress!

Cool post. I hope the Eagles win.

I had a $5 trial subscription to Peacock because it had all the IndyCar races, and $5 was worth it. They also had most of “Yellowstone” available. Somehow, someont had the bright idea that putting the last half-season on another streaming service was a good idea. Couple hammers short of a full sack.

The NCAA is trying something new with this playoff setup. That usually means they’re working to improve the product. Not all experiments succeed (Something I say about my own skills as an engineer is “The only thing I designed and built that worked right the first time was an extension cord.”), but are worth the effort. I suspect there will be some tweaks to the playoff seeding next year, but I’m unable to predict what they might be.

The NFL is not trying to improve their product, as far as I can tell.

IMHO, the NFL product & presentation is declining!
Examples: The new 'Dynamic kickoffs' (....a fricking joke!), what is a 'Catch'? ( 2 steps & a football move?..in reality any WR & most fans can tell you by just looking), Unnecessary roughness calls (.talk about something being subjective! Who said it's unnecessary or is it even too rough?), moving games away from free OTA broadcasts.... & the overall 'woke' crap they were pushing a few years back!
These are just a few and I could go on....

That's a great one! You know, I always thought that the Bears would put player safety above all else!
...also, Bears GM said there is no truth to the rumors that they plan to draft another QB with this years #1 draft pick
