OT: OT - NFL HFLeaf thread

[tmlms13]

Don't forget their All Pro Cornerback Tre'Davious White is out and has been injured most of the year. So technically down to their 5th string CB. Just the thought that Elam could be their #1 Corner is frightening. I don't care that he had that pick last week the guy is just brutal.

Also Sam Martin Punting isn't at full health, he looked okay in the second half but who knows how that felt the next morning and all week. Bass was bad last week kicking, don't know what was going through his head but it's a concern if he doesn't figure that out.

I hate being right

This would be perfect in my opinion.

What Lamar has done this season has been absolutely INCREDIBLE, whether you love or hate Baltimore, it was a truly unique season and he deserves to go to the Superbowl. KC has had it too good for too long so yes i hope they crash.

The Detroit Lions? Come on now guys. Thats the Leafs of the NFL, you need to have a soft spot for them, if they can go all the way that should give us some hope lol.

I dislike how the NFL has ridden SF this entire season, so I'd like to see them crash and burn. I don't think Purdy is clutch, so lets see.

Clutch enough to lead two scoring drives they had to have losing in the fourth with negative momentum. The winning drive was kinda definition clutch.

That game destroyed like two days of my life lol.. really just settling back in to a normal productive citizen life this evening.

I have watched the Bills lose my entire life, and never cared anything for them... quite the opposite, they were Super Bowl rivals of the Super Bowl caliber 9ers of the early-mid 90's, so no love there. Had a stretch cheering for the Flutie Bills and then the Bills Billed Flutie and I was done with them again.

And even I feel bad for Bills fans.

 

[Jojalu]

I still havn't recovered from Sunday.

Year after year they come up with a new way to lose.

That being said! Can't wait to start it all up again

Spent a good part of Sunday explaining to my buddy's wife that I don't need to cheer for Buffalo because they are close to us and that I'm not cheering for anyone because I'm a Steeler fan. I don't think she got it. (She was into red wine, so I had to explain things more than once)

That said, I know tons of Bills fans and do feel sorry for most of them. I honestly thought this was their year.

To be fair they have lost this way before . Too many injuries to overcome and they need a deep threat receiver.

That is my hope for the offseason.

Either draft or sign another WR that can get downfield

I skimmed through some article this morning that said the Bills window was closing because they're in cap hell now. Supposedly they are/were 50 million over the cap? I know nothing about the NFL so not sure, if they were over the cap, they're not allowed to go over again? Or maybe they don't want to? I have no idea but I wasn't happy about this prognosis, what they were saying was that Buffalo would be good enough to make the playoffs for years to come (mostly because of Josh Allen) but not a serious threat to go all the way. Sub in our "BIG 3" for Josh Allen and it sounded exactly like the Leafs future, except we're never allowed to go over the cap.

Following these teams is sush a tease, except where the Leafs are concerned I'm not falling for the tease and just can't get excited any more. Someone should invent Viagra for sports fans, if it was available I'd probably consider taking it. FML.

Been a Chiefs fan for over 30 years and for the first 25 years or so it was mostly pretty rough. Sometimes they were terrible, often they were pretty good, but never good enough, usually an also-ran, a speed bump on someone else's championship run.

This Mahomes chapter has been like a beautiful fever dream from which I hope never to wake! I just pray the Leafs can have even just one run where it all comes together, because it is so glorious and fun!

 

[Jojalu]

I am hopping on the Detroit bandwagon.

They are suffering through an even longer streak without winning a Championship than the Leafs.

Since the Bills seem to be unable to ever pull it off, I will invest the rest of the playoffs pulling for the Lions.

Sometimes when the Leafs are out. I develop fake love for a team in the finals and get into it. Did it Kadri and Kessel more recently. Good times. What it means for me Psychologically, no idea.

I'm thinking I should try to do the same. I haven't cheered for another team since the NYI put an end to the MTL dynasty though so it's been a while. Maybe I'll just cheer for all the Canadian teams ...

Any NFC team gets my support over any other AFC team.
Love to see the Lions but I don't see them beating the AFC.

Hate the Ravens and sick of Swifty.

I do the opposite and cheer for whoever is playing the Canadian teams!

Same. Leafs or gtfo

Yeah but as a Steelers fan I know you are genetically incapable of supporting the Ravens on any level. So I'm putting you down in the Chiefs column!

 

[LeafSteel]

The prospect of the Ravens winning another SB rolls my stomach, and I’m equally down on the K.C. Swifts.

Going all in on the Lions as they are the home team for the market I support at work (Windsor), and the way they string their fans along and break their hearts screams Maple Leaf m.o.

……. Anyone but the AFC though, for the win.

Yep unfortunately they can’t both lose.
It’s funny that I don’t dislike hockey teams like I do some NFL teams.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I'm still depressed over this game. I really thought they could get past the Chiefs this year. That subtle smirk on Mahomes' face on the sidelines the whole game told me he knew all along they would win. It's a weird dynamic how awesome Allen is yet knowing Mahomes is just a lit bit better at everything he does.

I don't see it that way at all. KC coming back with 13 seconds was on the defence, not Allen's fault they didn't win that one.

I'm sure a lot of people do the same but me, while I'm a Leaf fan I'm also a Canadian patriot and if we're cursed like we seem to be, I'd like to see a Canadian team win one of these years. And I know rivalries can be fun and all but other than MTL, I don't really care about the other Canadian teams so them winning wouldn't bother me at all. I'd much rather see even Ottawa or Edmonton win than Boston or TB.

Looks like Bass had to delete his social media accounts due to death threats.

What the hell is wrong with people?

It’s disgusting, hopefully they track these scumbags down and castrate them

Disgusting, but that is the problem with social media, it gives every idiot and crazy a platform to be seen and heard.

From what I read the good folks in Buffalo and KC have come together and raised over $100k to donate to a cat shelter that Bass supports.

I hate social media, but things like that are one of its few and far between redeeming value.
