30.8 Million watched the Bills Chief's game

[eball]

I have met more Bills fans recently who have no ties to Buffalo than ever before.  They love Josh Allen.

 

[Billsfanatic8989]

Nobody will ever be more popular than Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Dallas. All three of those teams travel well, have alot of history, and bring in ratings no matter what. 

 

30 million is impressive though. I believe that beats game 7 of the World Series.

I’m going to give Romo credit for calling out the refs on more than one call against the Bills. He wasn’t afraid not say “I just didn’t see a penalty there.”  He later came out and said the Chiefs got the short end of the stick on one play, but I like a guy who’s willing to call it as he sees it. 

 

Booger McFarland has never recovered in my eyes for insisting it was an illegal blindside block against Cody Ford in the playoffs. The same play the league later apologized for. Booger is a moron. 

 

The grounding WAS a bad call and was the wrong call.  But you can't throw a flag, announce it to the stadium, and march them back - then correct yourself.  It's done at that point and there isn't anything to challenge.  Mark it down and complain about it after the season.  

 

The early holds on bishop and knox were straight up bad calls too when they looked at the replays.

 

Per the rules of the time i guess that was a blindside block, now you see people box out with their backs to avoid that.

I know he is the owner and can do whatever he wants but Jerry needs to step down as GM for the good of his team. He doesn't sign Parsons who is an elite level talent. The he trades a lot of the capital he got from the Parsons trade to sign an older and not quite as good of a player in Williams. Williams is a good player but not on Parson's level. All of this for a Cowboys team that is most likely not making the playoffs.

I don't know man I really like what they did yesterday

 

Yeah @Gregg's take is bizarre.  Williams is an absolute stud by any measure--and trading Hyde and signing Williams saved the Cowboys 70 million over 3 years.

 

"Older"?  He's 27, Parsons is 26---couple of real oldsters out there lol!  This was a great move by Jerry Jones.

It was a legal block at the time and the call was wrong, as was Booger. I’m almost positive the league apologized for that. Very little comfort in that, you know? 

[NORWOODS FOOT]

I wasn’t one of them. Having a hard time getting into the team this year, which is weird for me. Who knows.

AI Overview

+4

The most popular NFL team is a subject of debate, with studies pointing to different teams depending on the metrics used, but the 

Dallas Cowboys consistently rank highly due to their long history and global recognition. However, a recent study by FlashPicks via Sporting Newsclaims the Buffalo Bills are currently the most popular team worldwide based on Google search volume across numerous countries. 

Dallas Cowboys: Often called "America's Team," they are consistently ranked as the most popular by several metrics including fan polls, global recognition, and search volume over the past year, especially within the United States.

Buffalo Bills: A 2024 study that analyzed Google search volume across over 100 countries named the Bills as the most popular NFL team, rating them higher than the Cowboys in that specific analysis.

Other highly popular teams: Other teams that frequently appear near the top of popularity rankings include the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

still don’t understand why the chiefs did not lose a timeout for challenging a call that was not reviewable.

About 20 million were very unhappy

20 million of the 30.8 were very unhappy? Huh? Most fans of other teams I know *hate* the Chiefs. There's no way 2/3 of the people watching that game were rooting on Kansas City.

 

There were def more rooting on Buffalo than KC and probably a lot more with no dog in the fight that walked away happy just to see another Allen/Mahomes "must see TV" matchup that delivered (as always).

 

Ain't no way PFT is labeling the Chiefs "the new America's Team" bc of the ratings. The big ratings for the Eagles and Bills facing them have more to do with a matchup of known good teams and for tuning in to see the Chiefs get beat.

It was the only later afternoon game, so naturally the viewer numbers were high. I can't recall another time when there was a single late afternoon game. It was for all intents and purposes a nationally televised game, being shown in every market in America.

If I remember correctly, Rams-Saints and Jaguars-Raiders were also in the later afternoon slot

Chiefs are different from the Brady/Belihick Patriots though...

 

First of all, the Chiefs have never felt "unbeatable" the way NE did. The Patriots almost never lost the "big games" 

 

NE also didn't get blown out in Super Bowls twice in a handful of years. 

 

Chiefs win a ton and have 3 rings but also got curb stomped twice in the SB, which is much different from losing a couple hard fought upsets in the SB by a few points. 

 

NE was also much more hateable. It often felt like they were sneaking out the back door with a win. And it always went their way. 

 

Chargers playoff game (Brady throws the game ending INT then the dumbass Chargers DB fumbles the ball instead of just going down) 

Ravens playoff game (can't move the ball then suddenly Belichick dials up some obscure dubiously legal formation that the Ravens cannot stop)

Chiefs AFC Title game (Brady throw the game ending INT but a dumbass Chiefs DL was lined up Offside) 

 

Not to mention pass interference calls that would make Mahomes blush. Spying on other team's locker rooms (allegedly), stealing signals, opposing team's communications always were spotty in Foxborough, and on and on 

 

Let us not forget the dark reign of the Patriots as we pursue our dislike for KC. NE was and embraced being the Evil Empire that broke hearts and stole souls. It made them such an incredible villain, and the Super Bowls they lost were some of the most fun games I have ever watched. 

 

KC is Manning's Colts if Brady played a decade earlier. 

New England was a million times more despised. They were like the Evil Empire from Star Wars. Bellichick even dressed the part. Also, you left out the Tuck Rule.  The worst of all IMO i was going through my Raiders phase as a kid. That definitely soured me forever on sports and made me never trust referees again. Charles Woodson is my favorite non- Bill defender of all time. Would’ve been awesome to see that wily team of old stars win one. I think they would’ve stood a chance had they got past New England.

If Collinsworth is calling it how will he ever fit 4 nuts at once in his mouth, and not just the two he slobbers on daily

The Chiefs - Cowboys game is on CBS. Most likely Nantz and Romo will do the game.

The Tuck Rule! I can't believe I forgot that one too! 

 

NE was so easy to hate. That's why I referred to the Chiefs as the modern version of Manning's Colts teams. 

 

If Brady played a decade earlier Indy would be today's Chiefs. Winning a ton, going to 4-5 Sper Bowls, winning some, getting obliterated in some. Just not the same level of hateability.
