I’m really not following this but my guess is she’s gonna drop Kelce like he’s hot when she’s done with him. Swift does nothing in public that is spontaneous and not calculated for maximum exposure.

She probably could have paid cash for her friends wedding and for everyone in attendance and their families, their accommodations, their first class round-trip transportation to anywhere on this planet, their gifts, the photography and security and it wouldn’t even be worth writing off as a business expense.

For someone who says your not following it you sure seem to be assuming a lot of ...stuff.

I doubt they are fuming, because they know the decision was not made solely with the gut (or as machismo as you say), given the analytics indicated a higher percentage for a game victory if they went for it.

When one also considers that there were no guarantees on the field goal attempts (Badgley is just 77% at the range for both potential kicks), I’m confident I’m not alone in thinking coach made the right calls and the main contribution to the loss was the abundance of missed tackles and receptions in the second half. Folks love to razz a missed kick with “you had one job”, but I can’t think of a more appropriate phrase for these second half missteps.

It don’t take much to have heard she’s a rich white Democrat who cashed in on her horrible taste in men to the tune of a billion dollars this year.

I wouldn’t know a song of hers if it sat on my face.

I do read. Allot.

[Crowbob]

They are fuming.

The decision(s) were not based on anything remotely close to game theory in professional football. He knows it, too. Everybody knows it.

The press in Michigan was falling all over itself trying to rationalize the bone-headedness of it but soon gave up on it under pressure from the fans. Had he kicked and it missed that’s just how the game goes. That would have been the right thing to do. Almost nobody would have advised him to go for it. At least nobody in the last century who wanted the Lions to win.

[URY914]

And believe everything you read.

[Crowbob]

So let’s see here.

Are you saying she’s not a rich white Democrat who’s made a billion dollars cashing in on her poor taste in men? Is that false?

She’s a media machine, which is fine, IMO. Which apparently is wrong again.

This is all news to me .... I depend on this thread for all of my TS info and the Chief's TV games for a glimpse of her. Steve "Swiftie" J has got to up his game

And how the hell did politics even enter my Swiftie thread ... and why ?

The "sore loser" effect... I reckon .

Back to the Panthers, why they suck, and the games people play .... soooo who's it gonna be? Don't care who wins, want to see a great SB (as they have been lately) and I like both teams .... a LOT!

But don't bet against Casey

If we can set TS aside for a minute , who do you think/want to win the SB ? Like some I just want a good close hard fought game . I am leaning a little towards the niners as I like the underdog Brock Purdy . The teams seem evenly matched . As always mistakes and special team play may be the difference. Time will tell .

[KFC911]

Can't wait ... two of my favorite teams to watch .... it should be awesome.... I REALLY like Purdy and SF, but there is just something about that other team too.... can't quite put my finger on what it is....

KC

My default is usually to the NFC. CMC is a first ballot HoFer,I’d like to see him add a Lombardi to his trophy case.

As much as I hated to see Carolina "give him away" ... I am happy for CMC ... he's a special player too ... and deserved better than us

Still very young, but i wonder how long he can perform at that level and that position.

Wouldn’t shock me if he hung it up at 30.

I like his sense of humor too. Saw something on social media where he was doing a signing event. He had a stack of 49ers hats in front of him.

Someone snuck a USC hat into the pile. Rather than just set it aside he pulled out his phone and searched his stats from the Stan- USC Pac12 championship game. He filled the hat with # of yards, the 3 tds he scored, final score, etc. then signed the hat.

I’m not a collector but that would be a cool one to own.

Oh forgive me, I didn't realize you were in the locker room or had access to the game-time comms or analytics, ha ha ha.
Kind of odd that the offensive coordinator decides to turn down multiple head coach offers (and millions of dollars) after the game to stay with the team....since he is fuming and all.

Almost nobody sitting on their couch during the game or professional coaches in the system and full up-to-date with the modern game?

Right on. Those (unusual) missteps coupled with the multiple missed tackles put this one in the can for SF. The vitriol directed at coach is astounding. Maybe somebody still has Wayne's number? He never went for it on 4th downs.

"They've been aggressive all year," Brady said. "You know obviously, when you're aggressive and it doesn't work, it comes back to bite you. It came back to bite them yesterday. Again, I would've taken the points.

"I've been in those situations. I look at them and say, okay, this is the opportunity to continue to keep the pressure on the 49ers to make great plays and you're in a great position."

“The handoff there late in the game, that was the one I didn’t understand,” Brady said. “Unless you saw some incredible look to walk the ball in, you just can’t take the chance that you’re gonna be stopped short and keep the clock running. You just can’t get the ball back. So that was the one I just said, ‘I don’t know what they’re doing.’ I thought it was just a flat-out error.”

Looks like Dan Quinn the next head coach for the Commanders.
