the Matt Patricia 2018-19 playoff nfl thread

geez pessimistic much?

that Brady-Kraft magakiss was...something.

still can't get over the Rams *finally* amassing a 9-yard run (backed up against their own end zone, where they needed it most), then immediately getting smacked with a delay of game and fumbling on the next play

can I also say the commercials were all pretty bad and seemed to all rely on the "can you believe how much fuckin' money we spent on this ad? make it go viral, please!!!" factor

though the NFL hall of fame commercial was pretty entertaining

yeah i liked that one

oh and I got mad at the Michelob ad

ive seen michelob advertised my whole life but i dont think ive ever witnessed someone drinking one

i haven't seen anybody drink a michelob since various family parties in the early 90s

The Bud Light/Game of Thrones crossover was pretty wtf, and not in a good way.

the main theme i sensed in the commercials was "look at all these robots who are sad they can't be human"

I liked that the Game of Thrones / Bud Light one had absolutely no twist at the end. The goofy Bud Light characters just get murdered and that's it.

xp

Only because I expected some light hearted shift at the end. As one would, given the way food brands insist on associating strictly with safe, good vibes.

really wanted the Bud Knight to be revealed as this guy

hated the amazon ads above all other bad ads. "alexa isn't really that interesting but look at all this money we threw at familiar faces! our stuff breaks a lot lol!"

to me the car commercials were the worst, "here's an inspiring story about triumphing over adversity, much like Audi did when we fit 450 horsepower in a mid-size sedan..."

i'd be curious about the ratings for this game, on one hand you've got this very popular dynastic team that at the same time everyone is sick of, on the other hand you have the default most popular football team in a massive metropolis that is only mildly aware of (and deeply disinterested in) the two local teams.

maybe no one watched it and it didn't happen

44.9, lowest since steelers/cards 10 years ago

i hated that asmr michelob ad

and i could give a crap about cornsyrup beer vs windpower beer

i was amused that "not made with corn syrup" is a selling point for american beers

the michelob ad had a pretty crazy mix on my buddy's surround sound setup but that's all i can say about it

the one where the alexa was having existential despair and the guy told it to play funky town was pretty funny

ok

Having a healthy Edelman and Gronk was a huge factor, but Edelman played like he always does, shouldn't be a surprise. I personally think Sony Michel deserves more credit.

if the MVP had gone to a pats defender, who should it have been?

Hightower

Gilmore tho

dang that did not go where i was thinking it would

realizing boston sports radio will STILL be complaining that the game sucked

listened to one boston sports radio show today and for most of it, the hosts, guest and callers sound disappointed or disgusted or so mad they're ready to throttle somebody while reviewing this game wtf

except for occasional podcast ep, i don't listen to sports radio or watch the ESPN talk shows, is the culture of it as extremely fucked up as it seems to me? like what is the matter with all these angry men who know everything?

yes

its awful for sure

The ESPN LeBatard/Stugats show is pretty much played for jokes (kinda) most of the time.

yeah their show rules
