NFL Playoffs 2022 (following 2021 Season) and what not

[tennbengal]

I have no expectations of being able to go to the game…I was just hoping there might be a shot since both teams don’t have strong fan bases.

Vehemently disagree on last sentence. Bengals fans are loyal to a fault and have been traveling. There were 10,000 at the chiefs game.

Totally agree with Bengal. Since last week, there have been a crazy amount of long-time diehard bengals fans in Lexington who are insulted when you ask if they've ever seen a game in the past ten years.

[EnochRoot]

Bengal fans come over to Baltimore in droves (as do Steelers and Browns fans).

[L-Jam3]

Bengals fans probably don't break into the top quartile of fan bases, but they're in no way a weak fan base like in the Falcons tier.

Georgetown is right there! It's one of the Bengals' training camp ancestral homes!

Oh we are definitely in the right area. But most of the people I know who now refer to the Bengals as 'we" sure as shit gave up them for a long time there, even switching allegiances to more successful teams like the Colts and Packers in the interim. Hey, people should enjoy what they can in this day and age, but I am going to judge you from my seat of jealousy!

And holy shit today starts the year of the tiger. It is foretold.

...and I've been one for 40 years. Let me clarify by saying tickets in theory should be easier to get compared to if Pittsburgh, New England, Dallas, either NY, Cleveland, New Orleans, Kansas City, Denver, SF, Chicago, Philly, Green Bay, Las Vegas or Seattle were playing.

We'll see. Again, Bengals fans have been travelling. But the thousands and thousands. There's a lot of pentup demand.

That I agree with...after 33 years I'm sure there is some "I should go now because who knows when they'll get back here again". That's one of my reasons for making the trip.

[tennbengal]

Good luck GK...

[L-Jam3]

Wow. That is not at all what I expected. I was thinking like 2 Grand to get you in the building, and like 8 to 12 for lower bowl.

[tennbengal]

Yeah...ANY fleeting thoughts I had well...lol. Nope. Even if those come down by half - between airfare, hotel, etc. - that's easily a $10K trip.

[GoodKarma]

You can get in the building for $4500+fees now...down about a grand from yesterday. I'm guessing they'll drop another $1,000 or by next week and level off there. Still too rich for my blood.

The flight/rental car/lodging is costing me just under $500 for Saturday-Monday so if I don't go the game it's a pretty cheap trip. I'll hit a few fan events and watch at a Bengal bar and still have a good time.

[mister d]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if you pick the right bar you'll end up having a better time anyway.

If he pays me $2000 he can come and use my in-home bar. I'll throw in a room for the night gratis. Former staff member of the Rams lives next door so if he's itching for a fight we can probably drum one up.

Ok since nobody here gives a shit about the Super Bowl, here’s a Conference Championship Game fact!

25 teams have been to at least 4 title games since the merger and only 8 have winning records. All but two (Denver and Seattle) are from either East division.

(Bengals are 3-0)

Many league employees get a pair of free tickets. They're not allowed to sell them (the tickets are tracked as to who receives them), but their tickets never being available on the market helps limit the number that are available.

100% agree

Giants (5-0), Pats, Commanders, Bills, Dolphins, Cowboys?

COMMANDERS!!

Great fucking quote, from that hearing:

“When the investigation of the air pressure of Tom Brady’s football concludes with a 200-plus page report but the investigation into two decades of sexual harassment concludes with nothing, it shows the NFL’s complete lack of respect towards women, their employees, and our culture as a country," said Emily Applegate, a former marketing coordinator and ticket sales representative.

[tennbengal]

the Bengals' long snapper is genuinely hilarious

[sancarlos]

My friend has two tickets for the 2022 SUPER BOWL, both box seats. He paid $2,500 each ticket, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place...

It's at St. Dominic's Church, in Los Angeles at 3pm. Her name is Melissa . She's 5'7 about 130 lbs. she’s good looking and She's a good cook, too. She'll be the one in the white dress.


[old joke]

[Steve of phpBB]

Heh.

[Brontoburglar]

I'll be surprised if ticket prices have a significant drop given the Bengals' SB drought and a hometown team in a large metropolis with a lot of disposable income

the drop has been very significant!

The lowest price on Stubhub is around $3500. So I guess a significant drop percentage-wise, but not reality-wise.

[brian]

I haven't heard of a single Lions fan who isn't rooting for the Rams Sunday, which should give you an idea of how much Stafford was appreciated by the fanbase and how little blame he gets for the Lions issues while he was QB1. Sadly, this might literally be the closest I get to seeing the Lions win a Super Bowl.

[Tom 1860]

Go Bengals etc...

you definition of significant and mine are quite different, mr. Moneybags

[Brontoburglar]

lol y'all really debating that a 20% drop in a few days isn't significant

I'm still struggling to see a debate.

I guess it comes down to the old mathematics equation.

.80 x (a hell of a lot) = (still a hell of a lot)

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Take it to the excel thread!

[mister d]

AB, think of it this way: What several days ago would've bought you a Super Bowl ticket could now buy you a Super Bowl ticket, a ticket to see Keith Yandle and a Keith Yandle jersey.

Thank you. This makes perfect sense.

[Gunpowder]

In this instance I'd think a 50% drop is the minimum where I'd reconsider purshasing something I want but consider absurdly expensive.

[Rex]

Just realized that if the Bills advanced, we would have had a full week of OJ making a scene in LA.
