NFL (19/20) Super Bowl LIV: Kansas City Chiefs vs San Francisco 49ers

[drd23]

for those interested it's a Spanish affair at half time featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira (at my age I'll probably throw a hip out, so might have to watch game highlights instead )

Who pays for the half time entertainment?

If its the stadium, then it would explain the line-up - Stephen Ross would get a discount for making his co-owners do it

So what quarter does George blow out his knee?

Doesn't suit up, does an ACL mimicking the People's Elbow at Miami night spot LIV the night before the game.

Im tempting fate with the Jersey Curse but have To fly the colours even though white ain’t a colour.

Whatever you do don't buy from the Fanatics International site. I put an order in 9 days ago and I'm still waiting for it to be shipped. Paid express shipping and all thinking it'd be quick too.

Fanatics are good though, never had a problem with them on their normal site. Same the exchange rate is what it is otherwise I'd be spending more money on there.

recent Superbowl losers [other than pats] drop off the next season.

Recent losers outside of the Rams and Panthers at least made the divisional round the next year.

Funny thing about your point though is that aside from the Pats, Peyton Manning's Broncos are the only SB losers to get back there within 5 years since the Bills.

Yeah I'm using them and never had a problem before....I also think they are selling stock before they have received it in this instance....also doesn't help a lot of bandwagoners add a lot of demand for gear.

Every year for the past 20 seasons the Panthers have played the defending Super Bowl champion (preseason or regular season). The Chiefs are on the Panthers schedule for 2020

On this whole jersey thing.....12 of the last 13 SB winners were in their white unis.

The exception were the Packers in green.

So you're saying Carolina will never win a Super Bowl? **** you.

start of a new trend, where colors dominates and white loses more

They actually pull some of there stock from wherever it is available if it isn't in the main warehouse. You'll find that big orders can end up coming in multiple packages due to coming from a different location.

The Andy Reid side of the playoffs has been playing to type early on, where a team he coaches gets in to a bit of a hole, but the strange thing this time around is that hole hasn't gotten bigger like usual, thanks to what seems to be the Andy Reid antidote - Patrick Mahomes.
It feels like the Chiefs can get out of any kind of scrape, which bodes well for them, but I remember this time last year people were expecting the Rams to explode in the Superbowl. 3 points later that thought went to shit.

49ers are coming in with form with 3 impressive wins in their last 3 outings, I've liked the way they've gone about each of their wins and I'm really looking forward to the big game. This matchup seems fresh and it wouldn't surprise me to see a shootout like the Saints-49ers game in Week 14.
I'd be happy for either team to win it, so I'm going to dig deep, on some completely arbitrary reasons, to decide.

Coach : Andy Reid makes his 2nd Superbowl after 458 conference title losses and is hoping to win his first Superbowl.
Kyle Shanahan, maligned due to the Superbowl LI meltdown, but with a chance to be part of the first father-son pair to coach Superbowl winning teams. I think the romance of Reid winning the big game wins out here. (I wouldn't mind seeing him win either) Advantage

Team Statistics : 49ers rank 4th overall in offensive yards, 2nd in yards allowed vs Chiefs 6th in offense, 17th in yards allowed. In an very small sample, advantage

Superbowl history (omen edition) : The Chiefs don't really have a long Superbowl history, but the last team the league hosted a milestone season (75th season), the Superbowl was in Miami and the 49ers smashed an AFC West team. This current 100th season the Superbowl is in Miami and the 49ers are playing an AFC West team. Advantage

Superbowl history (romance edition) : This is the Chiefs first Superbowl in 50 years! In that time the 49ers have gone 5-1 in Superbowls. It would be a nice story for the Chiefs to finally salute once more. Advantage

Sex appeal :
Travis Kelce

While Kelce looks like he'd be very good value, he doesn't have the pr0n star banging rep of Jimmy G.
Advantage

Aesthetics : Both teams are wearing red and a gold/yellow derivative, so that's a push. I love how both teams painted their end zones in a throwback style over the playoffs (I was longing for Candlestick Park ) and I hope they trot that out in the Superbowl. The only negative of either teams uniforms is that the 49ers have discarded their traditional 3 sleeve stripes due to that now being an Adidas thing - ugh . (small) Advantage

Who are their legendary players choosing?


Advantage : PUSH

History of Patriots drafted QBs in the Superbowl : While Mahomes doesn't have the New England pedigree, Jimmy G certainly does. However, starting QBs who were originally drafted by the Patriots have a 8-6 win-loss record in the Big Game. Does Jimmy G join Tom Brady and Jim Plunkett, or does he join Tony Eason, Rich Gannon, Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady? Advantage : Too early to call.

Aussie factor : The 49ers gain points with their starting punter, Perth boy Mitch Wishnowsky, joining the short (but growing) list of Aussies to step on the field during a Superbowl while the Chiefs don't have anybody from our shores playing for them. Even the fact that the 49ers once housed Jarryd Hayne can't dilute that advantage. Advantage

By my reckoning that give the 49ers a 4-3 TD advantage. Go Niners!!!

Raw yards are a terrible way to measure a team. As are points fwiw - the Chiefs have a "better" defense than the 9ers if Points Against is to be believed

Chiefs are the better team by advanced metrics (2nd vs 4th by DVOA, 1st vs 4th by 538's ELO)

Aussie factor : The 49ers gain points with their starting punter, Perth boy Mitch Wishnowsky, joining the short (but growing) list of Aussies to step on the field during a Superbowl while the Chiefs don't have anybody from our shores playing for them. Even the fact that the 49ers once housed Jarryd Hayne can't dilute that advantage. Advantage

Disagree. Hayne's former presence and the bandwagoners that will bring outweighs the fact a guy that might be involved in 10 plays is an Aussie

True, true...once I ordered 4 different starter hats for different college football teams and they came in four different boxes.

Haha yep. Wish I just ordered less and went with the normal Fanatics site now..

At least you'll have your jersey before the SB. Doubt I will lol (even if my team isn't in)
