Brewing and Football

My hapless Vikes lay by their drinking bowl.

Wild game between the Bengals and the Bears. Not a lot of defense but sometimes that makes for exciting play!

I like Da Bears!

Even my Vikes showed up to play… imagine that!.

Your stillers looked pretty good against the Colts yesterday. Aaron Rodgers can still throw the ball.

Does anybody really care who performs at super bowl

I gotta believe the people who care maybe watch one game a year

I believe more people should complain about the terrible officiating

I agree. Don’t know ow who the dude is but I don’t have to watch it either. Don’t like it? Find something to do for 20 mins and catch the rest of the game. Take the crowd down and test beer out of the fermenter or something. Not that big of a deal.

:rofl::rofl:I’m an old fart so of course I don’t know the musical performers who are popular now but that’s the way it should be.

It’s cultural, and it’s a changing. I enjoy guitar driven music.

Keyboards can help, but shouldn’t be the main thing, from my eyes..

Not so much brewing related but… Both of us born and raised in Syracuse NY, SU and Bills fans. SU plays Miami Hurricanes tomorrow at Hard Rock stadium and the Bills play the Dolphins there Sunday. Would love to go but it’s about 3 hours, one way and Gus the dog can’t hold it that long.

Back to beer. I have had a couple of good beers by Florida Keys Brewing. The latest is Spiny Hopster, named after spiny lobster AKA warm water lobster.

There were definitely some questionable to horrible calls in our game last night. Mind you, my Stillers very much deserved to lose that game, but still, frustrating when bad officiating makes things go from bad to abysmal.

:beers:

I wonder when AI will take over and the refs answer to it?

Take the human element out of the officiating…

Sneezles

Well when you have a game with more penalties than 1st downs theirs a problem. How about the refs get to call 3 penalties a half? They can be challenged with AI making the decision

Last nights game was very good.. A defensive sided game..

even tho the Packers are in our conference, I choose not to cheer for them. A very good friend is so fixated with green and gold, I’ve become his opponent !

And low scores. (:

Hence the reason why so many rules are based on negatives for the defense and positives for the offense. For example, defensive PI is a spot foul, so it could essentially be a 40 yard penalty while offensive PI is only 10 yards, no matter if it happens 60 yards downfield.

NFL is big business and the stats show people want a 42-38 game rather than a 14-7 game. Just like any other business they’ll give the consumer what they want.
As many know I played football for a long time and I want to see a great game. If that means both Ds step up and it’s a 14-7 game that’s great. If it’s 42-38 because both Os showed up AND the Ds didn’t just destruct that’s fine too.

I don’t like blowouts either
I like a game where I’m afraid to go to the bathroom lest I miss something

It’s entertainment and is why I have no problem with what players make.

I hate when people say athletes make to much

Watched my Bills lose @ Texans yesterday morning (too late on Thursday plus FF through a lot of crap) Offensive line looks tired or something. It’s hard to watch recorded games and not see the score on news, social media or the daily stuff you get online without asking for it.

Looks like Syracuse U didn’t do so good too….
Our mighty Vikes play against Packers today, I’m not expecting much…

I always ask the Vikes for one extra game each year, well, that hope is all but gone now..

Yeah I’m a golden domer and thought about you @hd4mark when we scored three straight TDs without firing off an offensive play. It is nice to have a game like that every once in awhile.
