Yes
There is some understanding that it’s held in a stadium where the temp had to be above 10/15 degrees or has a roof - they mentioned it’s only been played once outside those remits in New York with a contingency plan in place because of Snow . It’s why some places will never host it

Shame, some of these cold weather stadiums have the best atmosphere and certainly tests the players.
Keep telling my mate that is why the Saints are soft, playing in a nice air conditioned indoor stadium

They went outdoors in New York a few years ago which could have been a disaster but they got away with it on gameday. I know the media did not enjoy it. You need a city with the stadium and infrastructure to host it so the likes of Tampa, Miami, New Orleans, Los Angeles etc. Dallas barged their way into the party because of their owner's influence in the league. Other trips to the likes of Indianapolis and Atlanta were not good. There was a really crap story a couple of years ago about London hosting it - more chance of me playing QB in one.

I tapped out at half time in the second game so didn’t finish it until this morning. A bit disappointing because the Bills just didn’t handle the pressure and the Chief’s class shone through. Did enjoy the ruckus near the end though when Allen threw the ball into a defenders head and then they had a bit of argy bargy.

I've just been told by the Bucs' COO that if wanted a ticket for the Super Bowl, I could get one from the franchise at face value. Unfortunately covid restrictions have put paid to that.
And no, I can't transfer that to someone else

But you weren’t going anyway. ?
Is it a reduced crowd at the Super Bowl this year?

Yes there will be 22,00 there - one in three (or about the success rate of Drew Brees trying to pass downfield). The Bucs are having a draw amongst their season ticket holders for around 10,000 of the tickets.

Let's leave it until a couple of days before the Super Bowl - maybe the Friday evening (5th Feb) - I will open up a call and talk NFL football - we can put some faces to names - laugh at the Cowboys, tell stories about working live with Kev Cadle - that sort of thing.

I detect a hint of disagreement.
If I was a GB fan I would be furious with AR? He's great when fully protected and has got all the time in the world to make a play, but under pressure is useless. Also watching his TD was like a girl in frilly knickers just making it and then jumping out of the way scared to death.
And I also cannot believe that Brady can just go from being almost superhuman for two quarters to utter rubbish in the third, then back to normal in the last. Come on really? Can you not see it?
I watch the highlights of the other game today. MUCH better. No quarter given by either team. Full on. THAT'S how a championship game should be.
The Chiefs should be out of sight by half time in the SB, but I'll bet they're not.

Whisper it, but I also think we threw our last game as well. Brian knew we weren't good enough to advance further so didn't push to win it. Plan B was to regroup and get the new QB fully ready for next season.

I'm allowed an opinion aren't I?
Of course I maybe wrong. Oh and I come up with all sorts of things at home. I don't just do this on here. It is just my opinion.

I think the play.calling had more to do with the defeat than the quarterback.

I have known 100s of NFL players, coaches and front office personnel. No player has ever thrown a game or done anything untoward. Simply because every play is on film and scrutinised. And any player giving less than 100% effort on any play is identified straight away. Mental mistakes, missed assignments etc - those things happen but again, every player is graded in every game. Every team scouts every player like this around the league to the best of their ability - a good friend of mine is in charge of it for the Buccaneers.
But teams have, ahem, not employed the best strategy at times. The Bucs and Titans in the season finale of 2014. Both teams wanted the No.1 overall pick in the 2015 draft and the Bucs "led" the race going into Week 17. Both teams were somehow winning at half-time. They then both began taking key players out of their games for "injuries" and the Bucs only ran four different plays in entire 4th quarter. Both teams lost, the Bucs got the No.1 pick and the two teams ended up with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. Guess they got what they deserved.
But in a Championship game with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, every player is giving his utmost on every play. Yes there were bad coaching decisions and Matt LaFleur is getting ripped apart on radio shows across America right now. But to suggest some kind of fix, some kind of lack of effort on any player's part, it's beyond ridiculous.

The complete lack of spirit in AR and his whole demeanor throughout the game surely must come into question? Think Stuart Pearce! He was more like Alice in Wonderland.

Wonder where AR will be playing next year. Didn't GB draft a QB last year?

Rodgers is expected to be awarded MVP for this season. That includes every player in the NFL, not just quarterbacks.
He is acknowledged to be the best quarterback in football at present by those in the know (that includes better than Mahomes).
Why would he not be playing at Green Bay again next season?
Re Crazyface's suggestion of game fixing and or intentional underperformance from GB/Rodgers, the Bucs defense sacked him a lot in both the round of 16 game and yesterday's game. Bucs are a bloody good defense (as Brees found out last weekend too) who have worked out GB offense weaknesses better than other teams, perhaps that's the reason Rodgers didn't do as well as some expected last night?

I see your point re MVP, just feel THAT 3rd down incident must have been a real kick in bollox. Matt leF saying he's the man, heart sand soul etc but won't risk him on a 4th down in a championship game, especially with brady at the other end who's pretty good at running clocks down. Just a hunch I guess...?
