Great game in SF. Tremendous effort by the Lions to be so far ahead (they must have thought they'd won it at HT) but fantastic comeback by the 49ers. Although I'm a Chiefs fan they've surprised me by winning at the Bills and then the Ravens. I think the 49ers will be too good for them though in the Superbowl. I’m a Chargers fan so no fan of the Chiefs because they keep beating us twice a season ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) The Chiefs will do what they always do in a fortnight and win. I like Purdy as he seems quite understated (unlike Kelce who gets more on my nerves by the week) but he’s not quite at the elite level they need to win a SB. The Chiefs D will have to much for him at the big one and he’ll make mistakes hope I’m wrong as I’m sick to death of the Taylor Swift roadshow. I agree with you Cobs, this Taylor Swift show is doing my head in and can see why the Chiefs are getting annoying (apart from usually beating the Chargers ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/kwfoKwtHI0jglJZ4qZf6.gif) ). You're probably right about the Superbowl and Purdy but I just think it could be one game too far this year for the Chiefs. I was desperately disappointed for the Lions. Hopefully they'll be back again next year.

Hopefully they'll be back again next year. Me too. Saw it till half time when it was 24-7 but wasn’t too surprised when I saw the result this morning. They’ll be back though they’re a very good team now.

I've always found American football to be a whole different ballgame. "Football" with only occasional use of the foot. They did it again. I think the Lions were 14 points up and in their phobia of foot usage, they didn't opt to try a 45 yard field goal (3 points). And then went on to lose by 3 points. Subsequent events may not have run the course that they did but if they want to use the word "foot".....they should be required to use the foot.

I didn’t understand that decision at all as it would have kept them 3 scores up. Hindsight’s a great thing though. It was certainly a big turning point / momentum change.

Sorry just looked again and I'm definitely there on the weekend of the 6th, where it looks like they're actually at home. Might still be the there the following weekend but might move on to another city. Are you doing the marathon?

Yes, but only there for 4 few nights, had planned to go to Toronto after as well to do Niagara etc, but plans have changed.

New season kicking off tonight, who’s everyone picking this year?
I fancy the Ravens to go all the way, but I’ve underestimated the Chiefs before and it’s bit me on the arse.
I’m a Broncos fan and excited to see Bo Nix as the starting QB, hoping we see some progress towards finishing with a winning record and a QB who isn’t a complete bin fire. That’d be nice…

It looks like being a great season. There seem to be more teams who could be very competitive this year, so certainly up to The Championship games it looks fairly open. Maybe the Ravens or 49ers can finally win another Superbowl, but overall I still think it is likely to be The Chiefs (injury permitting). As for my team. I think the only thing we might win is the race for the Number One pick in the Draft. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) In a way it feels quite reassuring that having picked The Pats when the NFL first appeared on C4 back in the early 80s as the most "Stoke" like team that they seem to have reverted to type. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

A lot depends on whether Aaron Rodgers makes it past the first 4 plays this year. If he does, and still has his mojo, I would have thought that The Jets look a pretty decent team with a very good looking defence.

40 years a Fins fan this season. We look strong again this season. Hoping to go beyond a playoff first round exit again. Might chuck a few quid on us this season.
Go Fins 🐬🐬🐬

Go Fins 🐬🐬🐬 Here we go again, hopefully a season of promise, finally turns into a Superbowl victory. I finally got to celebrate the Florida Panthers winning the Stanley Cup in Ice Hockey, now just need the Dolphins to join the party.

Been a Chargers fan since 84 and the days of Dan Fouts. Reason for choosing them was they had the best uniform (and still do). Got to one SB and generally been mediocre bar some good years with LT and Antonio Gates. A little more hopeful this year with Harbaugh at the helm.
In respect to tips can’t bet against KC but I think the Bears will do well. Their offence has some scarily good weapons. It’ll be interesting to see how the no.1 QB does. Hope he does well as he’s my fantasy QB.

Have been watching “good morning football” all through the summer and I think the gap is closing on the chiefs. Quite a few teams have done some good business in the off season And agree with you cobs the bears look good going forward

Barkley settled into Philly nicely. Great performance last night, rushing for 109, 2 tds and 2 catches for 23 yards and a td.
Thankfully have him in my fantasy league too.
