NFL 2016 Thread

I wouldn’t have realized that reading this thread.

But it’s all good. Jags are doing well.

 

[LemonMelon]

No defensive holding on a key third down, despite having a handful of jersey and clearly disrupting the route.

 

[LemonMelon]

This is so sad.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Prepare to meet Blake Bortles, world.

tony romo's broadcasting career needs to be taken out behind the barn put out of its misery.

Incorrect. He's the only interesting part of CBS broadcasts.

 

[DaveC]

the screechy sound effects he makes are irritating beyond belief.

 

[LemonMelon]

I hate the NFL

 

[the tourist]

Was so “nice” to see Jacksonville squander so much. Bet they wish they hadn’t kneeled out a minute of the first half clock with timeouts now.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

They pass interference call that led to the Pats scoring was an awful call, but the idea that the NFL/refs are in the Pats pocket is obscenely laughable.

 

[LemonMelon]

Wow, Tom Brady found a way without his throwing hand or Gronkowski. He did it all by himself. Amazing. So good. Time loses again.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Even with a loss I would like to take the opportunity to point out that the Hewson Brady's were overly confident and faced their toughest game and I would venture to say the superb owl is probably theirs now.

He's horrific

 

[LemonMelon]

Eagles will win today on some bullshit and get curbstomped by the Pats.

 

[speedracer]

Fair play Jags. So many big plays on both sides.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Terrific game by the Jags. They're a quarterback away from a Super Bowl.

Pats are the Pats. It's boring at this point, but their greatness can't be denied.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Laughable indeed. But I'm just shy of saying it's easy for an unbiased referee to feel the oncoming turnaround of the patriots in a game where they're behind. To a point where bad referees are susceptible to making calls under pressure.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Either way, it's not an excuse for a losing team. Unless massive calls happen at the end of the game, referees are a part of the game. Jacksonville had numerous opportunities to stop the Pats, and numerous opportunities to come from behind come they failed to stop them.

 

[Martinski]

I hate Football.

The Pats in yet another Super Bowl and the 2nd in a row now makes not even want to watch. Maybe i'll change my mind in 2 weeks. But that how i felt after they advanced now

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Hating New England is perfectly understandable. Saying the refs are in their pocket is dumb. We're a year removed from their quarterback being suspended by the NFL for nothing.

 

[DaveC]

they didn't lose because of blake bortles. far from it.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I didn't say they lost because of him... he played as well as he could have. But New England also stacked the box to stop the run after the first half because they had no fear of Bortles beating them.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Blake Bortles completed 70% of his passes prior to the loss of their lead. Blake Bortles was also flawless on turnovers, yet again.

Blake Bortles let UCF to a fiesta bowl championship.

 

[speedracer]

Curling celebration by the Vikings. Interesting.

 

[Hewson]

What the heck was that "unnecessary roughness" call?? And why was that pass interference call spot of the foul? Seemed to be like it was pre-throw for an uncatchable ball that would've been a 10 yard penalty or whatever the rule is pre-throw

Yeah, they made the right call once and that balances out the six blatant biased calls.

Honest question:
Are you 2 questioning the legitimacy of the helmet to helmet penalty that knocked Gronk out of the game?

 

[LemonMelon]

Honest question:
Are you 2 questioning the legitimacy of the helmet to helmet penalty that knocked Gronk out of the game?

The one where the defender went in with his shoulder, not his helmet, and made contact as Gronk leaned into him?

I thought it was harsh.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Honest question:
Are you 2 questioning the legitimacy of the helmet to helmet penalty that knocked Gronk out of the game?

I get why it was called, but it was questionable... the defender made contact with his head, but he absolutely led with his shoulder.

 

[Hewson]

The one where the defender went in with his shoulder, not his helmet, and made contact as Gronk leaned into him?

Yeah the one where Church hits Gronkowski in the helmet with his helmet.
Its a clear penalty.

 

[Hewson]

I get why it was called, but it was questionable... the defender made contact with his head, but he absolutely led with his shoulder.

while he does come in with his shoulder, there is clear helmet to helmet contact

Its a no question penalty in the NFL.

Do we think Church's shoulder put Gronk on queer street?

Again... I get why it was called, but it's one of those bullshit what the hell would you have wanted him to do penalties.

He led with his shoulder, momentum brought their helmets together. By letter of the law it's a penalty. It shouldn't be.

The pass interference call, on the other hand, was bogus.
