    SB LVll Game Thread: Eagles VS Chiefs

    in The Stadium Wall

    Not sure if anyone read Skurski's piece in the BN on Sirianni but it explains that reaction very well

     

    "You think about being in that moment of the Super Bowl, listening to the national anthem, how much that's going to mean,” he said. “It makes you think about all the hard work that you had to go through to get to the moment that you're in right now. It will be a good feeling. I'm not going to let myself get wrapped up in that feeling, because right after that, we're going to have a job to do. But I will let myself enjoy that moment for a second and enjoy that feeling, because there was a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Everyone is going to feel this way. There are a lot of people who helped me get to this spot that I'm in right now. It will be cool to listen to it and get to work.”

    Which one was worse ? 13 seconds or Cinci fail ?

    For me the total failure on Sunday almost dulled the pain of 13 seconds in retrospect. We'll never know, but who's to say if we hung on in that game last year's AFCCG at home wouldn't have looked...a little like what we just saw? I would like to think not, but this is the first time we've really played this version of the Bengals. Maybe they are a uniquely terrible matchup for us. 
     

    But man did 13 seconds suck.

    Must admit I love when Nance and Romo call our games…

    It's too bad John Madden never got to call a game with Josh Allen. I think Allen would have been a favorite player of Madden's. 


    Apparently he was, even if he didn't say so publicly. From Tim Graham's article last month:

     

    “John Madden was fixated by Josh Allen,” said Los Angeles Times reporter Sam Farmer, who communicated regularly with Madden until the football icon’s December death. In texts, Madden referred to Allen as “an animal,” “a beast” and “worth the price of admission.”

    I have a vivid memory of being at that game, sitting near a kid in an Ochocinco jersey. Some guy, seemingly oblivious to what was happening on the field, started relentlessly screaming “OCHO STINKO” at the kid as the cart came out for Chad. Everyone else around us was aghast. Man the drought was something else

    is it weird that I dont want cincy out of jealousy? 

    I don’t think so. I agree. Don’t want them to take the next step before we do. I guess it’s nice that they want us to jump on the bandwagon but I, for one, will be staying off

    I teared up at 13 seconds. I honestly didn't think there was a chance they'd lose, and I'm as pessimistic as anyone.

     

    Then I saw the defense alignment and started screaming immediately. What are they doing!

    Had the same emotional reaction at 13 seconds, the feeling of relief that this team is different, this is really the year, we’re gonna do it

     

    Which of course made what came next all that much worse
