You may get a refund if you bought a ticket(s) before the location swap,

StubHub had the new location. SeatGeek did not. Not many seats so I probably overpaid, but I can live with that.

---------------------

Browns QB Deshaun Watson has apparently torn his Achilles again. He had surgery this week and no time line has been given for his recovery. Got to think he will miss a significant chunk of the season. And they can't cut or trade him with that contract.

I've mentioned what a big Broncos fan my daughter is, but here's some proof of a small piece of her obsession in her bedroom. 😂 You may not be able to make it out but besides her bedding set, there is a blanket (of which she has many), a helmet, her purse, a cap, a glass, and a lamp. Her wallet is Broncos as is her eyeglasses case, etc. Don't get me started on the jewelry. They know her as the Bronco girl at the hospital because she wears Bronco sweats, hoodies, and a hat when she goes to get her chemo. This is a true fan albeit, imo, excessive! ;)

Ohhh so they just started ticket sales shortly after NFL finalized the location change? I thought y’all use Ticketmaster. Probably not anymore though because of certain issues around it, despite it being the official ticket sales for the NFL.

The Chargers never really got going did they?
Herbert had 4 INTS... oof! Sorry Coach Harbaugh. :(

I didn't see any of the PIT/BAL game but the boxscore says the Steelers never really got going either.

The Chargers are one of my teams (Justin Herbert > Duck ) and they looked terrible. Four interceptions only begins to tell the story. I was rooting for the Ravens in the other game but didn't get to watch much of it because my grandchildren were busy and needing our help at the time. Glad to see they beat the Steelers. Watched the after show (it was on Prime) and they were mentioning perhaps it's time for a CHANGE for Pittsburgh. Hhmmm.

I prefer SeatGeek, but they hadn't updated yet so I went StubHub who had updated. I abhor TicketMaster and won't use them unless I am absolutely forced to.

SeatGeek is an official NFL ticket reseller for the Cardinals, making it a reliable source for tickets. According to an NFL report, the Cardinals assisted the Rams with their relocation by providing jets for 300 Rams players, personnel, and their families to fly to Arizona. In return, the Rams allowed the Cardinals to use their home locker room, and provided media displays and blue and yellow field paint for the game, as the Rams were still considered the home team.

First quarter was good, only two FGs though. Texans on the offensive side were terrible. They woke up really late and brought it home. Ultimately their defense did an amazing job.

Steelers vs Ravens... the Steelers never had a chance. Started way too conservative and then it was too late.
But as I feared, several holdings without a flag, two face masks without a flag, one intentional helmet to helmet without a flag, called timeout ignored by several refs until the player jumped wildly up and down waving his arms so every camera captured that. All in favor for the Ravens... Not that it would have made a change, maybe a 14-21 instead, but I feel sorry for the teams that have to play the Ravens now. Unless they completely dominate them, I guess this is a bad sign.

Also, terrible spotting of a new 1st down that wasn't given in the first game. Texans did it with a QB sneak anyway, so it wouldn't have made a difference. But why is this still spotted by a "half blind" ref who's placing the ball randomly and when in doubt, why are there still guys with a chain on the field? Welcome to the 19th century NFL. Technology that can track the ball with sub-mm accuracy exists and it's not that expensive either.


As I write this, the Broncos just scored a TD in about 2 minutes walking down the field. I really hope I'm wrong about my prediction that the Bills will win this. 🐴🐴🐴

Bummer, didn’t work out for the Broncos. Started strong and then nothing.

Bills will have to face the Ravens now. I guess that’s the end for them unless they can somehow convince the refs to work for them. Maybe they can use their new receiver a little more, today he, Mr. Ground, looked like he can catch anything. 🟩
Rumor is, the NFL will replace the refs with celebrities that will do a much better job. Looks like Stevie Wonder is top pick for whitehead.

Packers vs Eagles next.

Not wrong. Broncos started out strong and then...nothing. Lots of good passes missed or dropped by the receivers. Josh Allen was on point; IMO he is a very good qb.

My daughter is in mourning but better luck next year.

Rooting for the Eagles in the current game.

I think the Broncos are fine. No one expected them to get into the playoffs. They found their new QB, they have a good team. Another year or two and they can get even further.

Packers blew it, right in the beginning. Game was a little boring too. Now the Packers have no more O-line left to play. Even if they made it, that would have been it. Reminds me of Niners vs Eagles two years ago.

Eagles were pretty bad as well. I can't see them progressing any further if they keep playing like this. But hey, they're reading books at the sideline now, so maybe that will help.

Oh and that last "interception", it's called a tackle or in this case pass interference. :rolleyes:
 
Bills and Commanders the two teams I was rooting for won. The commanders kicker looked hella nervous, kept stroking his hair before the final kick.

Honestly Bo Nix will be a great qb by the looks of it under the right leadership/team. He was pretty on point, too bad for the dropped passes.

The Commanders kicker, Zane Gonzalez, almost missed the field goal, but the ball deflected into the goal and was good. The Packers had a terrible pass interference call at the end of the game that turned their momentous lead into a loss in the second half. I'm crossing my fingers for the Rams to win tomorrow. They have all their starters and no injuries, while the Vikings have several injured starters, despite Sam Darnold still playing.

I was really pulling for the Broncos.... What a bummer... Future looks bright though.

Now I am a Ravens fan this week lol. Need the Bills eliminated at all costs.

I still can't believe that Mayfield blew it. That was a win and he makes such a rookie mistake which cost them the whole game. I don't think they'll be in a better position next season. Maybe time to replace a few people, including the HC.

The Commanders have to play the Lions now. Would be nothing short of a miracle if they manage to pull it off and progress further.

Yarp. For the Divisional Round, my picks are...

Lions over Commanders - Easiest pick of all
Viking/Rams over Eagles - Eagles are paper tigers.

Chiefs over Texans - 2nd easiest pick. Chiefs have been lucky all year, but Texans are pretenders
Ravens over Bills - Hardest pick. But I have to go with the dynamic duo of King Henry and Lamar Jackson over the one man game wrecker, Josh Allen.

Who do you guys like in the Playoffs?

In the AFC, I'm leaning towards all the division champs winning. The Bill and Ravens should steamroll the Broncos and Steelers. Texans will barely edge out the Chargers. Both teams have suspect o-lines. Bosa/Mack will make life difficult for Stroud and Hunter/Anderson will do the same for Herbert. Chargers don't have any WR of note and the Texans have a pair of shutdown corners, so Herbert will have to hold on to the ball longer than he wants to.

The NFC, I see the wildcards Vikings and Commanders winning. Eagles should beat a Love-less (at least a hobbled Love) Packers.
5-0 so far. If the Vikings win tonight, I'll win the office wildcard round betting pool. Skol!

Horns up, y’all! Whose house?! Rams house! Are we ready to play this game tonight?! Get your Live Activities on for live game updates and watch it all on ABC Sports. Will we still do it in a different field this time? We still have home field in Arizona.

I don't know if it would be that much of a miracle to be honest.... Lions defense is pretty banged up and depleted. They had a good game on primetime vs. the Vikings because Darnold played pretty horrible.. But before that they had a few games where they gave up 30-40 points. I could easily see that game being a shootout with Jayden Daniels using his legs to get a key first down and win the game late.

I think it's the Rams who are the paper tigers... They and the Vikings were never consistent IMHO.

The fumble? Sorry, I didn't see the game just the highlights.

I just can't see it happen, banged up defense or not. The Commanders vs. Buccs game was close, but neither team played really great. Don't forget they only won because Mayfield screwed up. I have not seen many Commanders games in the regular season though, so maybe they had their moments similar to the Vikings. I'd be OK with them beating the Lions, but I just can't see how. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. :)

Yes, timing was off or he turned in the wrong direction. In any case, he didn't hand the ball over and then just let it go instead of holding onto it. Stupid mistake. That was at in the redzone, if I remember correctly at the 13yds line.

Rams vs Vikings was a mess too. Vikings just didn't show up at all. Not that Rams were great, it was just... meh. Since I got little sleep the night before I fell asleep after the first Vikings drive in the 4th quarter.

In general, games are not great so far. But I guess I could say the same for most games in the regular season. Either hit or miss, same for the performance of the teams. Never expected the Vikings to be so good and so bad this season.

Next week:
Texans vs. Chiefs
Ravens vs. Bills
Commanders vs. Lions
Rams vs Eagles

Winners in bold, based on no further injuries.

I'd like to see the Commanders and Rams win, but I think it's not going to happen. If the Eagles play like they did against the Packers... maybe. But I think they'll get back to their old form. Again, I'd like to be wrong. Ravens and Bills is a tough one. I'd go with the Bills, but I think it will be close and ultimately decided based on flags or lack thereof with the Ravens coming out on top with a difference of one score (a FG).

I wonder if the running back messed up? either way though, you're wrong.

I'm all in on the Lions
