But is classified officially as Kansas City Missouri; something one would think that the President of the country should probably know.

yep, should know it's a popular quiz question

That was a TD ... correct decision.  The new interpretation allows for the onfield decision to stand if it's a line-ball call.

Again, another correct decision

Kittles pushed off twice and that is Offensive pass interference every day of the week.  He might have been able to catch the ball without pushing off so in effect,  he cost his side dearly.  Did he even need to do it considering his skill set? 

KC won fair & square and the refs had zero influence on the result.  The 49ers had every chance and couldn't nail down the win.

Agree with both decisions, but either could have been called the other way.

 I thought the officiating was first class.

The half time entertainment was woeful. While the singers may be  very good their choice of songs and the over production using dancers left a lot to be desired.

Shakira-Shakira - Hips don't lie!

It's half-time show, not a concert.  I'm not a fan of either artist but "that's entertainment!".

I feel sorry for you if you couldn't enjoy that.  You probably hated Katy Perry and left shark too?

The hold on Bosa that was not called on the 44 yard throw to Tyreek Hill when it was 3rd and 15 was poor officiating. Was massive in the context of the game too.

No holds paid all game which is quite astounding. Seems they were only paying what was blindingly obvious - makes the OPI against Little before the half difficult to explain. Once they threw the flag they had to uphold it but could have easily been a no call. Was almost identical to the one not paid against Thielen when he caught the game winning TD against the Saints in OT a couple of weeks back.

American football is a terrible sport to watch.   Goes for three hours with only eleven minutes of actual play

makes you wonder why each side needs 2 teams and they only play 16 games a season

closer to four teams.... 11 on the field at any one time with 46 players activated per game.

Have never liked the sideline clutter of players and officials. If you add in all the chain men,TV cameras etc you have got over a hundred people on the side lines.

Haven't really got a team but I do love the series "Americas Game".
They follow the Superbowl winning team thoughout their winning season and interview players and coaches etc.

Anyway, I've watched them all and this one is easily my favourite.
1981 San Fransico 49rs.
Apparently they were truely terrible a couple years previous and turned it around with a new coach and some astute drafting .... Including Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott.
A great watch for anyone interested and would love to see us replicate the feat.

 

 

And if you want another entertaining one .......
