too soon for an NFL thread?

I'm so tired of hearing "not reviewable."

Short of the play being dead, they should limit the number of challenges, but let ANYTHING be reviewed. Such a stupid system that adds so much more burden to the refs to know what is and isn't reviewable.

What is wrong with Laura Omkin's neck?

Seahawks have moved the ball well, that is, until they get into the red zone.

Marshawn Lynch hasn't done much. Without him, you can't win with the passing game alone.

Atlanta's defensive front 4 have been the difference.

TD Seahawks!

Very nice drive for the Seahawks there. Kept Atlanta on their heels the whole way.

A turnover (fumble or interception, heck I ain't picky) would be nice right about now...

Time to double down on the momentum with an onside kick...

nm, that took awhile to post

That is a terrible idea, there are too many judgment calls that the officials make to let everything be reviewable. Holding calls, forward progress, ect.

LOL. That VW commercial was great.

Nope. Great idea. You have a limit to the # of calls, but it keeps everything in play. If Seattle actually got that last play off, why is that a less important mistake than seeing if a receiver got his feet down in bounds?

Fewer rules and exceptions makes officiating easier. It puts the onus on the coaches to decide when and how to use the challenges. That makes being a ref easier and doesn't allow some bad calls to determine the game, while other bad calls can be corrected.

Terrible idea? Terrible response. Craft a real argument if you want to debate it, not two sentences that don't even build your idea at all.

Booya! Night, night Seattle.

 

[Darkstone42]

So.... Defense?

 

[esls79]

I don't think blitzing Matty Ice is the answer if that last drive is any indication.

 

[elocomotive]

Other favorite commercial today...

 

[elocomotive]

Ladies and gentleman... future quarterbacks/kickers there!

GREAT cut by Turbin there.

 

[puckhead]

generally, I prefer to see Turbin-time when we have a big lead.
but, whatever works.

2 score game now.
can the D fianlly come up BIG here?

What the HECK Seattle?! Sorry, got back to school in time for the start of the second and to see a 20 point lead for ATL. Didn't see that coming. I'm really not a believer in the Falcons though.

Seems like he's been a lot more effective than Lynch. Lynch's power isn't working against this front 4 and LBs. Turbin's cuts are.
