I think he will actually retire. Even though he played well this season having his final game being a playoff loss is not as bad as actually making it to the Superbowl and having his final game being a loss in it. I also think the BUCS are not Superbowl bound for the next few seasons no matter who is their quarterback. Brady is just out of time to wait until next year.
I believe if he waits till Feb 4th to announce it, he keeps an additional 20 million from his contract. So I highly doubt anything official will occur between now and then.
Credit the Bengals! Their defense came to play in the 2nd half, and their offense played well!
I like Burrows too. Might as well root for a fellow Ohioan.
I’m still not clear on why the 49’s transitioned from a run heavy offense, to giving the ball to one of the more mercurial QB’s in the league today. It might have all worked out if they had gotten the 4th quarter interception. I don’t fault Jimmy G on the last interception, could have just as easily been a hail mary that got picked. Last down to work with you try anything, and it didn’t work. Some of his other passing on the other hand was highly suspect. I’ll be curious to see how Trey Lance does.
Stafford didn’t impress me here anymore than he did in Detroit. He has a couple All-Star caliber receivers that if he can get the ball in their general vicinity they can make a play. We’ll see if they can make it work in the Super Bowl.
I am having an football day today: chicken wings and a hotdog, craft beer, a lot of junk food and all that stuff while watching the ramp up show for hours.
My guess is that the Rams will win so I am rooting for the Bengals.
Either way: I want to see a nice game. Also stoked for the half time show today, with Eminem et al.
I took a day off work tomorrow, so I won’t be in Zombie mode.
Well even if and most likely when they lose the Bengals will still not have surpassed the futility of the Buffalo BIlls and their four Superbowl losses.
Yeah, the flyover was amazing. With around 70 years of technology between the aircraft, I’d love to know the behind-the-scenes story of what it takes to make it happen. And which needs more maintenance hours, the Mustang or the Raptor.
Sounds like a pretty typical Super Bowl feast Aginor. Main course optional. So sorry that you will have a very late night.
I learned today that Super Sunday is the best sales day for avocados in the United States.
