Coincidence: All Four Teams Still Playing Had The Best Odds To Win The Superbowl Prior To The Season

Are we witnessing a passing of the guard here by the two old timers(Tom & Peyton) to the young ones? Is the media trying to pass the baton to Andrew Lucky instead of the other more talented young QBs thus the need to force feed him to the masses? Maybe Cam doesn't fit the profile to be handed the face of the NFL key to so they find the next best thing in Kaepernick. The NFL and the media should just accept Cam's talent to guide this ship. This multi-billion dollar ship.

I gotta admit. NFL officiating is approaching NBA levels of absurdity. Makes ya wonder.
Yep. I never thought that was possible. But now I see that it is. The only sport with some integrity and a good commissioner is the NHL imo. Sent from my SPH-D710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Ratings are God to the NFL.  And there is also profit sharing so everybody wins!   Seattle vs SF ratings trump Seattle vs Carolina ratings.  Not to mention all the money going around in Vegas.   All it takes is a couple refs to change the game or at least give an advantage to one team or another.  Maybe it doesn't always work for the NFL but mostly it does.  They have became so rich since these "storylines" started over a decade ago.  Business is business.   In the Super Bowl last year they had an extra ref, which you would think would be one of the best rated ones right, like the others in the crew?  Nope, he was one of the worst.  Who really knows, but as a grown man, I'm starting to really rethink if I'm wasting time here.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
