OT: 2018 NFL Thread Part II

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Still dont understand why if the refs are wrong, and you win the challenge, you still only get 1 for the entire game, and you're not OUT of challenges.

Shouldnt you get to challenge until you're wrong and the refs are correct?

What exactly is the intent of that rule, to not embarrass the refs too much in one game is the only thing I can figure.

Payton challenged a play earlier and lost

I misspoke. Same logic though. Why be "out" of challenges if you were proven correct.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Down 13-0 and getting DOMINATED at the half, but getting the ball back first.

Dont know what the live betting line is on "Saints Win", but my guess is the risk/reward makes this a favorable bet now to put a few bucks on New Orleans.

 

[My3Sons]

Refs will do their best to help DAL. If NO can make it close at the end, DAK probably finds a way to choke.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Prescott cant throw the ball down field, all he does is lob screen passes or 5-7 yard forward passes.

In fact, he throws so many screen passes that I'm surprised more corners dont try to jump the routes.

 

[My3Sons]

The refs have been beyond bad. They miss easy calls both ways. And this is the best crew NFL has? Pathetic

The blatant helmet hit on the Saints' receiver at mid-field totally changed the complexion of the game & was by far the biggest "ref fail" tonight.

If that call's made, the Saints likely win the game. They'd be 1st down on the Dallas 35, trailing by only 3 points and they had all the 2nd Half momentum until that point, which was the first drive Dallas stopped.

Shame the refs had such a big hand in the outcome

I was a Cowboys fan last night, but IMO the non call on the Saints - the push off on the TD - was just as big of a call. Was Randy Gregory offside? That was just a poorly officiated game. Missed calls both ways. 55 and 54 are amazing pair. Unbelievable what 54 accomplished coming off that knee injury.

Kareem Hunt

yikes!

 

[Better Call Sal]

Kareem Hunt

yikes!

Jesus, not a good look.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

they cut him

wow

One of the few times an NFL team actually makes a decision based on morality instead of talent



Guess the Redskins will claim him too.

go look up what Tyreek Hill did in college and then get back to me about the Chiefs having morality

I didn't say the Chiefs were perfect, but certainly in this case they put doing the right thing above winning which is atypical in the NFL (see Greg Hardy, that defensive end for the Rams a few years back who actually killed someone and got a job, etc). The Chiefs could have been a Super Bowl team this year and they cut one of their three best players, I don't think you understand how atypical this is. This isn't the losing Niners cutting an underachieving linebacker with multiple transgressions or the Ravens cutting an over the hill Ray Rice.

 

[Devils Dominion]

KC was a lock to make the SB with Hunt, now they are vulnerable.


Only two intriguing games today:

Minny at NE
Chargers at Pitts

The 1pm games are putrid, I was offered free tickets to the Giants game by 3 different people, obviously declined.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Giants and the under
GB is going to blow out AZ

 

[Better Call Sal]

I don’t know about KC ever having been a lock when the playoffs are involved.

 

[NJDevs26]

I don’t know about KC ever having been a lock when the playoffs are involved.

Especially considering the Chiefs' defense makes the Devils' look competent.

 

[NJDevs26]

OBJ aligator arming what turned out to be a crucial onside kick...not pretty

 

[Devils Dominion]

Win yourself out of better draft pick

 

[Devils Dominion]

The Jets and Giants are costing themselves better draft position

 

[Devils Dominion]

Thankfully I got cold feet with GB last minute
They are cooked
