He threw a game-ending interception! Except some dumb dumb was offsite by a hand, with zero impact on the play. I hate this so much. Everything about it. And seriously, the NFL overtime rules. This is like if MLB decided extra innings at-bats by a coin flip and the first team to get a run wins. Just unbelievably stupid. But if they didn't change it after the Super Bowl two years ago, will they now? I doubt it. Satan won the day today. The Saints got totally hosed by the Robey "non" pass interference. And then, like you say, Brady got bailed out by a totally extraneous guy setting up 6" wrongly. Plus, the Candy Canes are crushing the McClavicles. Lousy day all around. 1 Quote
Brawndo Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Just to further prove how much the sports gods hate Buffalo, The Maple Leafs are 3-7 in their last ten games yet they still remain in second place in the Atlantic. Quote
WildCard Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Posted January 21, 2019 Do the Rams have a shot? I think they do. They can get pressure up the middle and stop the run, leaving the Pats one dimensional. They can also win in a shootout, and run the ball too. 1 Quote

This HAS to be the way the evil of the Cheatriots finally gets excised. Their videotaping the Rams practices brought us this virus. Don't expect I can watch, but hoping it finally ends here. 1 Quote

Belichick is money against young QBs, especially with 2 weeks to prepare. Rams will get behind early and that’ll be it. Quote
WildCard Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Posted January 21, 2019 McVay is far from the first/only coach to do this in football, but the fact that it exists is absolutely hilarious Quote
WildCard Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Posted January 21, 2019 Also, this is the Pats 3rd SB in a row. One more and they'll tie us 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 Just a comment from the bleachers. I grew up loving football before hockey. I played high school football and was pretty good but too slow for a higher level. It was always my first sport. In recent years I have reluctantly slowly drifted away and lost interest, mostly because of the cheaters and the way, while it's not exactly fixed, certain outcomes are, shall we say clearly favored. New Orleans was the best team in football this year, they were royally screwed. New England? Far from the best team in football, I didn't watch the game cause it's almost always the same bull. Watching a highlight replay of the roughing the passer call on Brady had me literally fall off the couch laughing. They aren't even trying to disguise it any more. I am SO over football. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted January 22, 2019 Report Posted January 22, 2019 I am much more of the college fan today. I guess spending the last 27 years going to UGA football games will do that. However, I totally agree that there was something funny going on in these two games. I did not want the Saints to play in Atlanta, but how do you blow that call. Also when the phantom roughing call and the reversed muffed kick, it was pretty clear that the fix was in. Quote

The video evidence was unequivocal. Edelman did not touch that ball. Not sure how you can use that as evidence of a conspiracy. That had an angle that eliminated a possible touch by every relevant body part. Quote

It didn't eliminate it, it was not conclusive and the call on the field was he touched it. There's no way they should've overturned that 1 Quote

Not sure how you can use that as evidence of a conspiracy. That had an angle that eliminated a possible touch by every relevant body part. I disagree that the video was definitive on Edelman. It did not touch his thumbs. I couldn’t tell from any angle if it touched his fingertip when it landed or if it grazed his arm on passing. My gut tells me he didn’t touch it and I don’t think it was wildly wrong for them to overturn it but I don’t believe it was definitive. The roughing the passer call, though? That was egregious. And the offsides call was as ticky tack as it gets. Guys lineup with a head over the ball pretty regularly. Andy Reid questioned why it was flagged there, too. Also, the first big Hogan catch on third down also was not a catch. Not even by the new rules. He traps the ball but then it hits the ground and moves and he needs to change arms to secure it. At no point did he secure it before it touched the ground. I do believe, if the games were reffed fairly in those big moments, it should be Saints vs Chiefs. Edited January 22, 2019 by Hoss 1 Quote

The only possibility is his right thumb from the angle shown at the 10s mark. From a different angle you can see that it is does not touch, or even come close to his right hand. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--VwZNdCJZ--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/zhzpfnipumxro3vrd3nv.mp4 Feel free to provide a single frame of evidence where it touches his hands that cannot be disproven by looking at the other angle and I will gladly donate $100 to the charity of your choice.

WildCard Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Posted January 22, 2019 Really SDS, you'd bet your life that that ball didn't touch him at all? Quote
