2024 NFL Discussion

The weather at the stadium is projected to have a wind chill of 12 F, that is too cold.. Too bad they couldnt play somewhere warmer.

It is called home field advantage.

Its called too cold for anyone. If you ever fall on mud that turns into ice, it is deadly.

Here is a description of the Bill’s soon to be stadium.
New Highmark Stadium has an estimated construction cost of $2.1 billion and is set to have a capacity of 62,000. Unlike the current stadium, New Highmark Stadium will have a heated grass surface. It will also feature a 360-degree canopy roof that covers 60 percent of the stadium and has an innovative snowmelt system.

Being a Vikings fan, I'm not a Detroit fan...that said, Detroit's defense had SO many starters out... but it was the interceptions that killed them...

Daniels looks like a high school kid physically but was so calm on the sidelines, I was impressed...

I didn't do football pool this year, so I haven't been keeping up on everyone, but Washington, may win another game yet???

My Eagles squeaked out a snowy win today. Rams almost made a big come back. We had Jersey Mike's Italian subs (hoagies to us) for stress food. I was shocked how bad the Lions looked & how good DC has been. I will be very worried next week. At least we'll be at home. I vote cheese steaks for the next game, but my husband has decided they're "not lucky" this year. We are "allowed" to have them either as a victory or consolation meal after the game, sheesh!

Early in the Bills/Ravens game I thought it'd be closer. Lots of time to go.

LOL! Did it end up close enough for ya? A couple of less turnovers and the Ravens probably win that game.

KC favored by 1.5 points
Eagles favored by 6 points
Gonna be a fun watch

jaylach, it's always about turnovers isn't it? Not really, but they can make a huge difference.

All I can say is go Eagles, go Bills!! Just for a different Super Bowl...including my team? As I've said, I'm tired of KC.

Fishmanic, I had no idea the Eagles would be favored to win by so much & KC by so little. I'm not so sure, good thing I don't bet $$

A huge difference is an understatement. I looked it up and the average number of possessions each team has in an NFL game is just under 8.5. Now let's take the Ravens having at least three turnovers. That effectively cuts the Ravens' possessions down to 5.5 while increasing the Bills' possessions to 11.5. It just makes sense as to who is probably going to win. I don't know how many possessions were involved in the game, just using the NFL average.

...and not to mention the Ravens narrowly lost by 2pts even with 3 unfortunate turnovers. The Ravens strengths are scrambling and passing on the fly, and the icy field did not help them. The two-point conversion miss by Andrews was caused by his foot slipping on the ice before the ball got to him. Really heartbreaking loss for us Raven fans and bad luck on the polar vortex weather. I'll be routing for them next season.

Exciting times are here for football fans.

NFL conference finals are this Sunday January 26th. So what is on your menu for the two Sunday games? Are you cooking or are you doing takeout. Or maybe you're eating at a local Pub.

Will you be watching it by yourself or will you join in with family and/or friends?

 

[jaylach]

I'll be watching solo with BBQ sticky chicken wings.
