too soon for an NFL thread?

[forty_three]

I don't, I'm OK with the win. Like I said earlier, the way they won still leaves a bit of an empty feeling, but people are way too focused on the last play of the game and not the bad calls that existed throughout the game, mostly in the 2nd half. That's what the real travesty was. People talk about the Jennings Int/Tate TD, but I have seen next to no one mention the Kam Chancellor PI that kept Green Bay's only TD drive alive. It was 3rd and 5 midway through the 4th quarter, Kam made a beautiful play to break up what would have been a first down and they threw a bogus flag. If the refs don't do that and GB has to punt, it's impossible to say how the game would have finished. I agree the game sucked, I wish we would have gotten to see the game how it should have been, but that just wasn't how it was gonna be. But I will say this. It's not like the real refs haven't screwed teams over in the past as well. The thing that bothers me most about this is that people seem to be bitching and putting the locked out refs up on a pedestal like they can do no wrong. I guarantee that the first week back the real refs make a controversial call that one team's fans will claim cost them the game.

No, no, no. It is my understanding that the real refs are infallable and this announcement is the end of ref-bitching by all fans for at least the next 8 years.

I thought he was dead after that hit. The South Park episode last night was pretty spot on.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

That was a crazy hit!!!


My new favourite name for a child? Lardarius!!!

He'll either be an NFL player, slingin rock on the corner or he'll weigh 700 pounds.

Or perhaps the newest car from Ford?

Wouldn't you buy the all new 2013 Ford Lardarius?

St Louis rams kicker has made from 58 and 60 already in the first half.
big leg.

 

[puckhead]

lol Jets highlight.

Santonio Holmes catches a short pass, wide open.
turns the corner and tweaks his knee or something.
falls down untouched, and throws the ball away to grab his knee.
SF picks the ball up and runs 51 yards the other way for a TD

 

[Slimpikins]

Good response after last weeks debacle against the Vikings, but honestly it kind of looked like the Jets didn't show up.

 

[Destroydacre]

Well nevermind what I said about the Seahawks being a playoff team. If you can't beat the Rams you're not gonna do anything. Fucking pathetic.

LOL I remember as a rookie one of his first catches as a Steeler he caught the ball, rolled on the ground untouched and then got up and tossed the ball, thinking the play was dead like he was still in college. Perhaps he's regressing.

Lions have gone back to suck mode.

The Jets offense is horrendous, and the whole season was hinging on the fact that they had a very good defense. Once Revis went down that D went from very good to middle of the pack. I think they have checked out mentally.

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Pats should take Brady out of this blow out.....

No Steelers this week..no hockey...and the Pirates are completing the worst collapse in MLB history. Oy vey!

 

[puckhead]

a few positives...
defense was still really aggressive and effective most of the time
the first drive was a thing of beauty
Lynch is still an unholy beast, but Turbin was effective when called on.


negatives...
Wilson holds the ball in the pocket for too long. he's a hell of a scrambler, if his first look isn't there, he's got to go.
only two 3rd down conversions. that ain't clutch.
difference in the game was the trick play where that Hawks wanted to see what would happen if they left that receiver guy WIDE OPEN.

shame McCoy fell down on the last play - that drive was looking fateful

 

[IPostedWhat]

So, how 'bout dem Bills?

 

[puckhead]

so.... it took Green Bay Packer fans less than 3 minutes to start booing the real refs.

 

[IPostedWhat]

The only difference between the real refs and the replacement refs is less time in the weight room pumping iron.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Man, what is with the Packers and no OPI calls on TD's?

Real or replacement, you have to make that call.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

so.... it took Green Bay Packer fans less than 3 minutes to start booing the real refs.

I am shocked...shocked to find that gambling is going on in this establishment.

Wrong thread?

 

[IPostedWhat]

So the Cardinals defeat the Pats and Eagles in the past 2 weeks in impressive fashion but are now losing to the Fins 13-0 at halftime.

WTF?
