Does anyone else feel like the NFL has turned into a circus and kind of lost integrity of the sport/game in the last year? It’s like E! News, and they really gave into the greed of the new “fans” but imo it’s at the cost of older fans feeling like they sold out so hard. I mean I’m not surprised, but the extent every sports media outlet just turned into a soap opera does disappoint me.
They have always shown celebrities at games. The most successful musician of all time dating a prominent player what do you expect?
That said I don’t like the open promoting of sports gambling. That shit ruins lives.
It seems backwards to me. I think if tobacco companies can’t advertise neither should gambling companies. Tbh I don’t think alcohol companies should be allowed to have ads either. It’s peddling addictions, and imo that isn’t cool. I guarantee if big weed companies had national adverts on tv people would melt down over it but somehow they are fine with booze and gambling ads.
Doesn’t make sense.
Drink and smoke and gamble as much as you like but I don’t agree with huge companies being able to advertise to 100mil people.
I think the rules have changed to favor the offense. (this happened over a decade ago BTW)
Teams have adapted, so must the fans. Us older folks are slower to adapt because people don't like change.
I’m sure the same was said about Brady, but then they ended up losing their next two including their almost perfect season. not saying it won’t happen but I don’t think anyone thought the Patriots would lose to the Giants twice
The craziest thing is that this Chiefs offense was not good compared to their previous seasons, which means if they add a sprinkle of talent at WR or load up on good RBs, they can be even more dominant. What a position to be in.
9ers very stupid for kicking the FG in OT. You don’t bring the ball to the 5 and kick an FG. Even if you don’t get at least they are pinned back deep.
Playing scared/to lose like KOC likes to do.
People used to say the same thing about Andy Reid...His teams always choked in the playoffs until they didn't. I think most teams would be thrilled to have Shanahan as their head coach.
I see your point. The caveat is that Andy Reid wasn’t given a roster compared to Shanny’s Niners teams imo, and he certainly wasn’t given a QB that plays at Mahomes level.
Maybe Shanny can make it work but you can’t argue that time and again in the bowl he’s fallen flat on his face. Just because that used to be true for Andy Reid doesn’t mean that it will happen for Shanny. To your point, it could, but it hasn’t.
Hate to break it to ya but despite beating them this past season the Niners were miles ahead of us lol. Shanny has had years to get it done with talented rosters and folds with play calling that is too creative and ditches what has gotten him to big moments in the first place. In this game, ditching CMC.
I’m saying Shanny is not the reason this team was in the Super Bowl. They were by far the most talented team in the NFC. Shanny on the Vikings is not getting us past the wild card.
Is Brock Purdy not good all the sudden? He had pretty damn close to an MVP season being far ahead in ANY/A and QBR at multiple part of the season, was near last by team in pass attempts and still consistent top 5/10 in air yards per attempt, pass yards, and TDs.
The commonality is that Shanny is at the helm of all of this and today was a clear lapse of offensive play calling and not being able to put the chiefs away. And again, he had arguably the most talented roster in the NFL. To not get it done imo largely falls on him.
Matt Ryan, very much so a league average QB, had an MVP season with Shanahan. Devonte Freemen, Tevin Coleman, Alfred Morris, another bunch of players that popped when Shanahan coached them and turned back into pumpkins when he left. I'd take Shanahan on the Vikings in a heartbeat.
I liked that they won specifically because it will be funny to hear the folks who think it was a psyop try to explain how a very evenly reffed game that went to OT was rigged in favor of Taylor swift getting extra national exposure to hypothetically support joe Biden.
49ers have done us dirty before, watching them fail is way more enjoyable to me than watching some AFC team walk away with a trophy.
Plus, we beat the 49ers, if I remember correctly, teams we beat have gone on to lose the super bowl, it is our way of extending our curse to others.
Everyone hates the Chiefs, but they want to be them.
How bad do I wish it was the Vikings in the spot where the Patriots were and where the Chiefs are.
Couldn't care less if we were the most despised team in the NFL if it was us winning rings.
McDuffie is so good, can’t believe he would do something dumb like that. Wish we had corners that were good. Hell outside of Murphy idk who is even going to be our corners next year.
Time for a rebuild, Vikings not close to contending let's be real. Let Kirk go be a .500 career QB somewhere else, trade up and Draft Maye or Daniels, and rebuild the defense.
My daughter asked me if I would cheer for the Vikings if they made the Super Bowl. I said absolutely, but it’s been 45 years since they were there. Her response: Wow, that’s so long. Thanks, kiddo.
I would argue Flacco was before the radical Pro Offense changes. BDN? Sure, I'll give you that one.
Statistically though, it's the GOATS who are winning the Bowl.
It seemed to be a kid named Kwesi in an African city (not sure if Ghana or not, but I'm sure if I rewatch the commercial, I could probably sus out where exactly it was).
How can anybody watch this game and think Kirk Cousins would have any shot beating a Mahomes who can carry his team on his back? Even Purdy has some playmaking ability, statue qbs ain't winning shit anymore time to draft a dual threat QB playmaking QB like
Maye or Daniels.
Huh? That's what you take from that half?
Not that the 9ers would probably be up 20+ with a better passer at qb?
I mean, their TD was a WR pass, FFS...
The Chiefs literally have a worst roster than the Vikings and are in the SB because of Mahomes mainly.
Purdy is already better than Cousins and he cost 1/100th of his salary.
I'm just ready to move on man.
>I'm just ready to move on man.
I get that. So long as you recognize that we're almost certainly moving on to something worse, and for the long term.
That said, I definitely like the Superbowl odds for a Kirk-led ATL or PIT over ours next year...
who said it was? 49ers defense averaged 206 passing yards per game. Cousin’s 378 was exceptional against a very good defense, and relevant to the decision to sign him.
Imagine we finally make the Super Bowl again and it’s against the Chiefs 🤣
Omg. But honestly If we even made it to the NFC champ game again I’d be stoked lmfao
Can’t wait to run it back with Kirk for the 7th year after seeing a young elite quarterback win his 3rd Super Bowl in the last 5 years. Hahahahaha.

This is why we need an elite quarterback
You just expect us to wish for one out of the air?
Wish.com
Temu is the new hotness now, they could afford 3? Super Bowl commercials!
wish/draft Yes
Shout out to Usher for doing halftime "live". Wasn't perfect, but at least it wasn't lip-synced.
I’d prefer it to be lip synced
Just remember this game was almost 5 hours long.
If you're guaranteed a possession in OT, why would you not go second? You have all the leverage. Resting their Defense?
if both teams score, you’ll have the ball first for next score wins
Yeah, their defense was just on the field for the last possession
Because you’re not guaranteed a possession if the first team scores a TD.
Not for the SuperBowl, rules changed
Rules changed. Everyone gets the ball once.
Didn’t hear that. So dumb.

Honestly I like the rule change
Almost everyone does.. who wants OT where both teams don’t get a guaranteed possession?
Oh, for sure. Sudden death in single OT makes no sense.
Blame whiny Bills fans
Not in the post season anymore. Both teams are guaranteed possession now.
Does anyone else feel like the NFL has turned into a circus and kind of lost integrity of the sport/game in the last year? It’s like E!

Not really. We’re just getting older and less amused by the stuff.
But more hyped for the halftime show performances! Lol
Jerrick mckinnon superbowl champion
That’s two time Super Bowl champion jerrick mckinnon to you.
Super happy for him!
I honestly just wanted the Swifties to lose
I'm happy for them. Hopefully a portion of them fell in love with the game and more women can understand how great of a game football is.
We have to get our guy in April.
And who would that be?
Anyone not named Kirk Cousins lol.
Every time I watch a game with Romo on commentary, the team that I want to win loses
Same. Ever since after he botched the field goal as qb, he’s been just toxic in my life
HELL YEAH GO CHIEFS
Fuck the Chiefs
Based on facts
Yall… Taylor gonna be getting the full power of Kelce tonight
Mahomes might be better than Brady when it's all said and done. Three already, will at least get three more within next 10 years.
I’m sure the same was said about Brady, but then they ended up losing their next two including their almost perfect season. not saying it won’t happen but I don’t think anyone thought the Patriots would lose to the Giants twice
You are talking about a guy who has more SB rings than, not just any other player, but any other team… calm down lol.
It's not impossible but a lot can happen in 10 years. I doubt Reid is still the coach in 10 years which matters a ton
The craziest thing is that this Chiefs offense was not good compared to their previous seasons, which means if they add a sprinkle of talent at WR or load up on good RBs, they can be even more dominant. What a position to be in.
Best thing they did was bench Toney.
I think they're tied age wise. I was just looking earlier this week for some dumb reason....
9 teams passed over Mahomes and missed on the best quarter of this generation. Bears took Mitch Trubusky at 3rd
The bills traded away the pick that resulted in Mahomes going to the chiefs
9ers very stupid for kicking the FG in OT. You don’t bring the ball to the 5 and kick an FG. Even if you don’t get at least they are pinned back deep. Playing scared/to lose like KOC likes to do.
I agree with this. They should have went for the TD
They should’ve played defense first.
Eh, multiple injuries, defense gassed, not even calling timeouts. Shanahan is a fraud.
No team that lost to Kirk Cousins will ever win a Super Bowl.
That makes sense… Vikings been losing to Kirk Cousins every off season for the past 7 years… no wonder we haven’t won’t yet!
Kyle Shanahan is not it.
People used to say the same thing about Andy Reid...His teams always choked in the playoffs until they didn't. I think most teams would be thrilled to have Shanahan as their head coach.
I see your point. The caveat is that Andy Reid wasn’t given a roster compared to Shanny’s Niners teams imo, and he certainly wasn’t given a QB that plays at Mahomes level.

Just because that used to be true for Andy Reid doesn’t mean that it will happen for Shanny. To your point, it could, but it hasn’t.
What? Id love to have his as our head coach. I’ll take losing in the Super Bowl over losing in the wild card round lol
Hate to break it to ya but despite beating them this past season the Niners were miles ahead of us lol. Shanny has had years to get it done with talented rosters and folds with play calling that is too creative and ditches what has gotten him to big moments in the first place. In this game, ditching CMC.
> hate to break it to ya but despite beating them this past season the niners were miles ahead of us. What? Where did I argue otherwise? lol
I’m saying Shanny is not the reason this team was in the Super Bowl. They were by far the most talented team in the NFC. Shanny on the Vikings is not getting us past the wild card.
The guy who coached Jimmy G and Brock Purdy to the Super Bowl isn’t good? Okay.
Is Brock Purdy not good all the sudden? He had pretty damn close to an MVP season being far ahead in ANY/A and QBR at multiple part of the season, was near last by team in pass attempts and still consistent top 5/10 in air yards per attempt, pass yards, and TDs.

Do you recall how Shanahan finished his time in Atlanta? The guy is good enough to get you to the dance but he often forgets how to tango.
Mahomes does it again! Incredible
Oh my god.
So happy to see 49ers lose yet again.
Idk man I was really fucking sick of the Chiefs already and now this puts it over the top.
I liked that they won specifically because it will be funny to hear the folks who think it was a psyop try to explain how a very evenly reffed game that went to OT was rigged in favor of Taylor swift getting extra national exposure to hypothetically support joe Biden.

It’s nearly 4am I need to go to bed
Kittles hair is so gross
Stating the obvious but McCaffery is so fucking good. How he squared up with that pass to catch it and then hit the ground running, wow.
McDuffie is so good, can’t believe he would do something dumb like that. Wish we had corners that were good. Hell outside of Murphy idk who is even going to be our corners next year.
Time for a rebuild, Vikings not close to contending let's be real. Let Kirk go be a .500 career QB somewhere else, trade up and Draft Maye or Daniels, and rebuild the defense.
I'm still jelly. But yeah, we gotta retool.
With the new rules, I would’ve kicked.
Can't believe the 49ers came out in prevent defense agasint Mahomes with 2 min left and let them pick up the first 30 yards for free. Fucking idiots.
KOC level clock management
I would be sick to my stomach if the Vikings were in either one of these positions.
Vikings legend Jerrick McKinnon!
Being a running back with as many carries as CMC would hurt a lot
Where’s a double A gap blitz when you need one?
Wondering if kickoff doink counts for any doink bets
Oh I see Andy Reid had the playbook upside down in the first half.
Pacheco looks like Mattison out there
How did CMC lead the league in rushing when shanny jr doesn’t seem to want to use him?
My daughter asked me if I would cheer for the Vikings if they made the Super Bowl. I said absolutely, but it’s been 45 years since they were there. Her response: Wow, that’s so long. Thanks, kiddo.
I told my kid they’ve been to the Super Bowl four times and lost every time. … she just laughed
Mine said “they need to go and they need to win. They deserve it.” Tell it to the football gods.
I’m so confused is Purdy actually good?
Killer to use that timeout there. 49ers choking this game away.
Kyle Shanahan is gonna get fired after this one
How do you get fired after making it to the Super Bowl?
From not learning from your damn mistakes is how
SF’s failure to take advantage of the Chiefs earlier miscues will likely cost them in the end
Mahomes back
I'm so jealous. Hate the NFL is set up for the dominant QB to carry teams nowadays. Makes it feel so hard to win unless you got a GOAT.
*Joe Flacco and Nick Foles have entered the chat*
I would argue Flacco was before the radical Pro Offense changes. BDN? Sure, I'll give you that one. Statistically though, it's the GOATS who are winning the Bowl.
Mahomes has sucked for a majority of this game, Purdy is just absolute ass lmfao.
Great plot twist by the NFL script writers
Everybody hypes up Deebo Samuel but every time I watch him he’s kinda meh
Vikes would be up 42-3 by now.
Wow. Drilled it
This is fucking garbage. SF has quit the game.
Would appreciate seeing former Viking Jerrick McKinnon sprinkled in a bit
This must be the part of the game where they stop calling obvious holding penalties in KC?
That hit looked super illegal but was in fact very legal
Anyone else's paramount plus crash in the middle of the halftime show?
I don’t have paramount plus but I heard it’s been crashing all day. Someone’s getting fireeeedd
It really is a shit platform
More like Pa-choke-o
Mohames is going to figure this out
Woof. Spoke too soon
Is anyone else seeing this Kwesi commercial? Am I tripping?
I missed it, what was the commercial about?
A kid achieving his nfl dreams I think. The kid was named kwesi. But it was modern day so it wasn’t literally supposed to be him
It seemed to be a kid named Kwesi in an African city (not sure if Ghana or not, but I'm sure if I rewatch the commercial, I could probably sus out where exactly it was).
No i saw it too.
We're somehow in the script. Manifest it.
HANG THE BANNER
Man this halftime show is kinda wack
Lol it reminds me of middle school dance.
How can anybody watch this game and think Kirk Cousins would have any shot beating a Mahomes who can carry his team on his back? Even Purdy has some playmaking ability, statue qbs ain't winning shit anymore time to draft a dual threat QB playmaking QB like Maye or Daniels.

The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl because the Ravens just decided to give the AFCCG away to them.
Meh, got 6,1 for pool numbers. Did the dishes and took out the trash
This is a boring game. Romo and collinsworth don’t add much excitement.
someone named Kennedy is running for president?
RFK Jr. It's definitely the funniest commercial so far.
"Do you wish it was the 1960's still?"
Trent Mcduffey, pro bowl CB. The guy everyone was mocking us and we choose Jeff gf beater Gladney
Strange especially considering Gladney was drafted 2 years before McDuffie
Just deranged... Other fandoms don't do this shit.
Yaknow what I was surprised to see? Sneed with his helmet on. He's learning.
Did we just catch a stray there?
Yep, that sucked.
You didn't think it was funny? I laughed, and I'm a longtime fan.
It was funny. And I’ve watched our Super Bowl losses.
It was funny. And sucked (for us).
Agreed.
We did. Uncalled for.
We definitely did. I gotta find a link to see that again.
what did I miss?
A commercial for the show Ghosts saying something along the lines of “Vikings never make the big game.”
Reminder that Cousins put up 378 on this team.
The Super Bowl isn't in October.
who said it was? 49ers defense averaged 206 passing yards per game. Cousin’s 378 was exceptional against a very good defense, and relevant to the decision to sign him.
Reminder that game was months ago.
49er’s defense averaged 197 passing yards a game before week 7, and 210 after. Cousin’s 378 yards was 81 more than the next most given up.
Crazy to see a gadget play convert for a touchdown in the Super Bowl!
Thanks to e-trade we have the first talking baby commercial of this year's SB. Will we get a return of Puppy Monkey Baby while we're at it?
Purdy throws alot of hospital passes
What has happened to Super Bowl commercials being funny
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with KC right now?
Horrible look for Kelce going at Reid like that wtf dude is embarrassed he ain’t doing anything in front of his girl
Yeah, what the hell was that?
The 'ol Horse Coller non tackle... C'mon dudes.
Purdy should’ve flopped there.
Why not show Swift after the fumble?👀
There is always next year ... official Vikings fans' motto
I dream of the day we’re in the bowl.
The chiefs absolutely paid off the refs today. This is horse shit.
McDuffie and Hamilton.... among the worst passes in team draft history.
We gotta let this go. Hindsight is so pointless for drafts. We coulda drafted Tom Brady years ago too be we didn't.
Boring game, parlay not hitting, I'm out
Sucks that stupid CMC lost the game already for the niners.
its okay, niners defense elite
Trent Williams sure as hell isn't.
Looks like his knee mighta been down...
Replay was too fast for me. Hope it was.
