Thank you, but why did you have to make the first SF penalty late in the third quarter when this kind of a rout was the correct result?
Anyway, it's going to be another Offense vs. Defense Super Bowl -- Patrick Mahomes (the NFL's soon-to-be first $40,000,000/Year Made Man) vs. that monster SF defense.
The NFL got caught. Social media, especially after the first game was partially rigged (see next post below for two Tweets on two key suspicious penalties!!), was littered with at least a couple of dozen "State Farm Super Bowl"/Rematch Of Super Bowl I tweets and the like.
People were figuring this out, and probably took their hands off the wheel and let San Fran run roughshod.
And where did this matchup come from?
I mean, I do have a couple booking questions about how we got here...
AFC:
I said at the beginning of the year the league was pimping Mahomes hard and that Kansas City was probably The Choice, barring New England.
And I understand why the NFL started pushing Lamar Jackson and Baltimore as a Plan B, especially after the Mahomes injury.
One question from this Sports Entertainment Fan on the booking here:
Why not have Mahomes, especially if he IS the big Made Man of the next generation of the NFL, go into Baltimore and win today (with or without ref assistance)???
NFC:
WHY GREEN BAY???
Green Bay was about as good as Philadelphia. Green Bay had no business beating Seattle, no business beating any of the NFC North teams twice in the regular season...
Green Bay had little business in these playoffs and NO BUSINESS here.
Green Bay was 9-7, nothing more. NOT 13-3!!
Yeah, you continue that Green Bay/Seattle rivalry, but at the complete cost of any degree of competitive game here, and you'll pay for that in the ratings.
And as for SF:
You also lose any marketability on the San Francisco side of the ball (Brees/Rodgers), and now must market this like the LAST TIME San Francisco was in the Bowl, roles reversed!!!
And now the fun part: WHY SAN FRANCISCO???
Racking my brain about it all season, not really wanting to admit it to myself, largely because I couldn't come up with an angle.
And I think the third or fourth Tweet today I've gotten on the "They need a West Coast team/Silicon Valley" angle finally hit home...
I'm not talking next year on any of this, there's NO TEA LEAVES on this at all!!
What if they are actually considering moving a second team (one of the currently non-viable franchises -- Jacksonville, the Chargers, etc.) to Levi's??
Again, I have nothing on this. I have no reason but mere speculation on this one. And it'd probably be several years before any of this would come to fruition.
There have been reports that there was actual discussion of moving the Chargers back to San Diego LAST YEAR.
What if it's become so unviable for a number of these teams, the league is actually looking at doubling up the Bay Area/Silicon Valley?
--
As it is, it probably, however, highlights the shit-filled homeless problem of San Francisco, and the league is probably angling (against most of these offense vs. defense games) toward Pat Mahomes -- because if you're gonna pay $40M/year for a QB, he better already have at least one ring.
Way too much money in any event.
