NFL Football LD, 2013/14 Season

[Ty Burna]

Freeman's not ready. It's clear as day.

 

[Ty Burna]

SMFH....

Scherels drops a sure fire pick six, then while sliding, without being touched, fumbles the ball.

Why am I watching this game again? Oh, right, I'm a masochist.

 

[klunderbunker]

I know the Giants aren't all that great, but there has to be SOMEONE decent out there that can play running back for them.

 

[Slash-LN]

Is Freeman playing any worse than Ponder has been?
I haven't really seen much of the game.

 

[Ty Burna]

Great kick return, missed TD catch, huge loss on a sack, and we get nothing out of it.

This is depressing.

Should the Vikings just blow it up at this point? They have no QBs. Their defense is atrocious. Why do you continue to use the same blitz every time? The offensive playcalling is horrendous. That offensive line can't pass protect.

 

[Stormtrooper]

This isn't equivalent to that in my opinion. This is equivalent to a guy completely away from the ball, squatting his defender's hand. It's a foul, but does the ref call that when the game is on the line? Of course he doesn't since it didn't directly affect the play.

Also, the Pats did this last week against the Saints and it wasn't called, among many other things that weren't called. I still think it's just strange for it to be called at that certain moment when it hasn't been called all season long despite it having to have happened multiple times before yesterday.

And there are rules that don't ever get called. I saw on Mike and Mike this morning that it's illegal to push your teammate while he's stuck in a pile-up and trying to get extra yards, yet it happens all the time and it NEVER gets called. I didn't even know that was a rule before this morning, and that affects a play way more than what was called on the Pats yesterday (I've seen plenty of first downs and even touchdowns made with a lineman pushing a running back). I never recall seeing a blocked field goal because someone was pushed from behind.

If they tell you not to do something or else they call a penalty, and you do it anyway, there is no fucking excuse. And hell, Jesus Belichick even said it was his fault Monday.

Oh, and would you call the penalty if they block the kick? Would you call the penalty if they break the leg of the offensive lineman (that's why the rule is there by the way, the players association asked for it because doing that has actually caused major injury to players). If you do, then you should never, EVER, not call the penalty. It's a fucking penalty, I can't see why this is such a big deal?

Watch the kick again, there are hands in his face thanks to the illegal rush the patriots provided. How does that not affect a kicker? As I said, it's like a late arriving defender in basketball. Sure he doesn't block the shot, but it ruins ones concentration which can cause the kick to go awry.


Using your logic, 2 wrongs make a right. Last I checked 2 wrongs do NOT make a right, they make something doubly wrong.

 

[jmt225]

Storm, I actually changed my stance on it when I found out the Jets warned the refs that the Patriots were going to do it. In that instance, the refs have to call it.

So, yeah... the right call was made. I was wrong. I still feel the refs should let certain things slide when the game is on the line, but not when the opposing team points out to them beforehand to look out for a certain foul and the foul is bluntly committed.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Anyone else watching this game? Tampa's field looks awful.

 

[Slash-LN]

I've seen bits and pieces of it so far.
It looks like the ground crew went on strike or something and didn't prep it for the game.

 

[Megatron]

Christmas came a little early for the Cowboys this year. Lions with 4 mistakes gonna cost them. As much as I don't think it's all his fault, Schwartz has to be feeling his seat getting warmer soon. You can't give away games like this so often and expect to survive. Just can't.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I'm so done with Alex Smith.

 

[Megatron]

Win or not I've seen enough of this coaching staff. Too many slow starts and pissed away games they should've had. They did a good job to make the Lions go from dregs to always competitive, but somebody else is gonna be needed to give them that extra step.

 

[Ty Burna]

Yes, excellent stop Detroit. Think they can sneak 8 rushing yards to Reggie somewhere in there? You know, bonus points for my fantasy team.

Even better would be a TD pass from Stafford to Bush.

 

[Megatron]

You would think a throw to Calvin would be in their ideas on a 2 minute drive.

You would think.

 

[Ty Burna]

You would think a throw to Calvin would be in their ideas on a 2 minute drive.

You would think.

Seems logical.

 

[Ty Burna]

That sequence worked out great for Detroit all things considered.

Now let's see if they can actually do something with it this time.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Dude. Detroit. I love you.

 

[Ty Burna]

Nice work Stafford.

 

[Nate DaMac]

That was an amazing drive right there.

 

[The Holy One]

80 yards, no time-outs, 1 minute left, what the fuck?

 

[Ty Burna]

And the Cowboys are imploding on the sidelines.

 

[Megatron]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nate DaMac]

HOLY SHIT, Calvin Johnson had 329 yards receiving?
