We just picked up “cheap” tickets at the back and the view was great

Haha, how much did you pay for the “cheap seats”?

 

[Streetlight]

All this talk of Raiders being dreadful - and admittedly, they were - but lets throw some respect on Kyler Murray, who literally carried Cards offense on his tiny back in the fourth quarter. Believe he's the first QB to get a rushing/passing TD, and a 2-pt passing/2-pt rushing conversion. Can't give any of that respect to Kliff, who is seemingly struggling with playcalling (someone remind him it's the first half of the season, he's supposed to be good at this point, before the inevitable decline that is the second half of the season.) .

Now if only we can sort out that dreadful defense.

Jaguars lead the AFC South lol

Isn't that just winning the prettiest pig competition

 

[Whoislloydy]

Are the Eagles a legit title contender?

Probably the best o-line in the league, deep in the WR spot, a solid RB pairing, even Boston Scott as a third option. Fixed their safety needs by bringing in Gardner-Johnson. A pretty solid defense overall.

I guess the only question is around Jalen Hurts.

Either way, I see them making a deep playoff run.

Pretty much, but it’s been soul destroying finishing 4th out of 4 pigs year after year

$200 bucks each, $60 was a ticketing fee.

Vegas is ridiculous now, the exchange rate doesn’t help, but they need to be careful they could end up driving people away with the pricing of stuff, in my view

Yes I agree, it really is getting ridiculously expensive here now to the point I’m seriously thinking about moving on. I used to love it here, it was really affordable, loads of stuff to do and just a fun place to hang out. We used to go out 3 or 4 times a week, now it’s more like once a month. I recently bought a place in Missouri, easy going and laid back. My kids have already moved there and I’ll probably join them in a year or so when I retire.

Meh. Anything you can do the Browns can do better. (And by 'better' I mean 'worse'). The onside kick is worse than a Hail Mary in the 'Desperation Play' stakes and yet it worked against us.

EDIT: Yeah, and I saw the Raiders stadium being built as well. Having said I'm never going to Vegas again I may just have to. Glad you enjoyed it [MENTION=522]Kinky Gerbils[/MENTION]

Even by Browns standards, they really Brownsed it up this past weekend.

I saw Chubb come out yesterday saying he was at fault for losing the game, and he should've gone down instead of scoring his third TD (thank you Fantasy Nick Chubb).

Imagine being blamed for putting your team up 13 points, and not, say, the dire defensive performance that let the Jets, THE JETS, score two TDs in the final two minutes. Ridiculous.

I think I spent more in 3 days (minus tickets) than I did pre pandemic in 5/6.

Cheapest beer I found was $6 for a bottle down Fremont street, table mins are laughable now - 15-25 min in the flamingo on a Tuesday morning lol.

Missouri is great, I spent a couple of summers in Potosi working at a summer camp

It's definitely one of those "American sports are weird" moments. Something seems very off with the rules of the game when scoring more points is NOT the right strategy.

I guess you can argue in football/soccer you have situations where it's better to take the ball to the corner flag and run the clock down rather than, say, whip in a cross and maybe get another goal. But then possession is a much harder thing to turn over in American football.

Also, who the F missing the extra point?!? If they'd just nailed the extra point like everybody else does 92+% of the time, then at worse it would have been a tie game.

Two games, two wins…

Eagles!!!!!!!

Chubb had nothing to apologize for on Sunday - he has carried the Browns offense the first 2 games of the season. The D and ST need to take a long hard look at themselves though. Just because they're rated one of the best units in the league doesn't mean they should just believe the hype - you need to perform, and earn it.
Two weeks running they've allowed a team back into the game: the Panthers very nearly pulling off a comeback win last week...and this week it exploded spectacularly in their faces.

Bit disingenuous towards Joe Flacco...

He completed 26-of-44 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns...Not bad for a 'washed up QB'

Hope he keeps the job

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Good divisional win for Nick Chubb v the Steelers last night.

Okay, okay....Brissett had a solid game too, helped out by The Chief & Amari Cooper...

And the D looked like it finally woke up a bit.

Just landed back home from a convention at Mandalay Bay. As we were staying at Mirage and the strip seemed constantly shut we saw the stadium every day. It looks incredible from the outside, seeing a game would be very cool.

Unfortunately I’ll never go back unless I’m on expenses again. I reckon you need £400 a day, each, minimum as a spending budget. Beer Park are knocking out Bud Light at $18 before tip. It’s about twice as expensive as Norway!

There is some good happy hours, Blondies in the Miracle Mile, $20 all you can drink for 3 hours is incredible value.

Beer Park is there for the views, went in May for the one beer with someone who hadn’t been before for the view.

I tended to head over twice a year, im thinking I’ll knock it on the head next year due to costs, I had a mini break down on the last day when the shop in casino wanted $4 for a can of fizzy water lol

Always accepted 10/12 bucks a beer at certain places (the trade off was being able to get deals on groupon) and clubs but it’s the norm now.

Like Disney there will always be people that will go, but I certainly noticed less people in the clubs the few times I went this year as people are going elsewhere. I believe (someone in the states can correct me) gambling is becoming bigger elsewhere, people will go there.

What games are everyone watching.

We started Raiders vs Titans, now switched to Colts vs Chiefs

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Redzone - good mental gymnastics trying to keep up with everything!

Nice to see the Commanders finally troubling the scoreboard with a safety.
