Your explanation included a fair number of hypotheticals..."could haves". One thing we know, kicking the ball to the end zone eliminates "could haves". No return, ball on the 25 yd line, and no time consumed. Bottom line, the defense didn't get it done. Somehow, they allowed an All-Pro TE run free down the middle of the field with the opposing team having 3 TO's at their disposal. At the end of the day, as with the Soprano's...its over. Just hope this weekend's games are as good as last week. Hope Cincy comes to play and has a better defense to make it a little harder on KC...easier said than done. Looks like we agree. So many people are saying the touchback was by far the worst are option are not accurate. They were all very likely to succeed but required execution. The other options had a similar risk of low failure. They all should have worked. Just because this one didn't work had little to do with the decision to kick it into the end zone and more to do with the failure of the defense to make one play.

Good thing it didn’t go OUT of the end zone ON A FLY or else the Chefs would’ve gotten the ball on the 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muda69 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Super Bowl parking spots are selling for whopping $6,000 – more money than the game’s cheapest seats: https://www.the-sun.com/sport/4656386/super-bowl-parking-spots-whopping-price/ Quote SUPER Bowl parking spaces are being sold for more than $6,000 as fans try to secure their spot just days before the big game. Americans could end up paying more money than the game's cheapest seat- which stands at around $3,400 on Ticketmaster. On StubHub, parking spots were going for as high as $6,200 and a space in The Forum parking lot - next to the stadium - was advertized on SeatGeek for more than $5,000, CBSLA reported. One Twitter user said fans could park on his driveway for $3000 and would offer tortilla chips topped with guacamole, margaritas, and Cerveza Modelo beers so they "don't go to the stadium with an empty stomach". Another posted: “If yall need some places to park, I got two spots. Lets negotiate, talk to me (sic).” While a third commented: “Y’all can park at my house and I will personally take you/pick u up from Sofi for a fraction of this price.” Some Twitter users have been left outraged by the whopping prices. One said: “People just lose all reasoning ability and common sense, it’s just a football game. ... A homeowner, who lives in Norwalk, California – around 30 miles from SoFi Stadium - offered a parking spot for $600. The price includes a ride to and from SoFi stadium, CBSLA reported. Meanwhile, some joked that for the whopping prices they would come to fans’ homes and replicate the Super Bowl in their backyard. The Sun has found that the cheapest Super Bowl LVI verified resale ticket is being sold for $3,400 on Ticketmaster. Fans face paying up to $180,000 for a single ticket. .... Oh, life in California.

I am thinking this should just be a home game for whoever would be the highest seeded team any more. Everything about this game, and many times even the game itself, is just ridiculous.

Arguably the season's most important games happen in the regular season in an effort to GET to the playoffs. Then every next game is the most important game... but only if you make it that far.

Depends on the division and conference for the given year. I've seen league MVP's pick up some pretty worthless stats over the final games.

I guess the question is whether the MVP award should be regarded as a regular season accomplishment or not. My opinion is it should be a regular season award. Once upon a time not every team and their dog made the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in 2022. We are creatures of the moment and spout more hyperbole than any other time in my life time. I mean, we have bracketology and bubble watches in December. Give every player the same 17 game resume/application and let the chips fall where they may. Side note, I’m sure Rodgers would much rather be suiting up tomorrow than celebrating this award.
