Week 5 Other Games.

[ThunderDan]

Houston/Indy is two bad teams.

The refs are just screwing the Texans over and over.

[Guiness]

Hasselbeck with another TD pass. 40 years old and he's like a kid out there!

[ThunderDan]

Here is an example of the refs.

Houston has been called for PI almost every time they put an arm on the WR. Phil Simms comments that slows down the WR and causes an incompletion.

Next series the Houston WR makes double move and the DB jams the WR going past him. QB over throws by 3 steps. No penalty, no Phil Simms.

[ThunderDan]

13 penalties for 125 yards and still counting.

[Guiness]

lol, WHAT was Hoyer thinking there?

[Guiness]

13 penalties for 125 yards and still counting.

Didn't watch the rest of it, but that was a stupid penalty by Hopkins. Unsportsmanlike for flipping the ball at the DB after a reception, it's ticky-tacky, but valid.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Look out, QB controversy in Indy! :cnf:

Yup, that one I agree with.

The Unsportsman Like Conduct against JJ Watt for roughing the QB was comical. Hasselback should get an Oscar for his work. It reminded me of punters who get brushed and then go down flailing their arms.

I HATE watching soccer for just this kind of thing. Those damn soccer players crumple like they've been shot in the head every time an opposing team's player gets within breathing distance.

Please, God, since Russell Wilson has taught us that you really do care about NFL football, please don't let the NFL turn into that kind of league.

[gbgary]

cin driving for the win...

[Joemailman]

Seahawks lose - Super Bowl losers jinx alive and well.

[Joemailman]

Lions with 4 first half turnovers.

[denverYooper]

Woodson 2 picks on Manning so far. He's playing a heck of a game today against the run too.

[red]

well, the reds riders are done with the peyton manning and mike evans experiments

they will be in the unemployment line tomorrow morning

[denverYooper]

Yeah. Manning looks done.

[Rastak]

Thunder, hoping you don't take offense to this. Seriously. You are the guy who constantly points out missed calls that would benefit the Packers during game threads....kind of the leader in that category here. I do the same thing with my team, although I chime in when I feel the other team got screwed. My wife hates that......"So what, makes up for the other calls we got screwed on". I say "no, it was a shit call".

That said, I saw you started a week 5 thread and said to myself "Self, I wonder if he'll point out missed calls"....and I will be damned, there it was.

Again, sorry, not trolling you. I just thought it was funny as hell.

[pbmax]

Equal opportunity ref antagonist.

[ThunderDan]

Equal opportunity ref antagonist.

If I see the refs fucking one team or the other I am going to post it.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, as shitty as SF played in the first half, with one drive in the 2nd half the game is tied.

[ThunderDan]

I am not sure how many more 4 yard passes I can take.

[SMBASS]

If I see the refs fucking one team or the other I am going to post it.

Gotta agree Dan. I'm really getting tired of the continual incompetence of the officiating in the NFL. Still far too many things are getting called wrong even with the replay and advanced technology. Actually costing teams games when every fricking other person in the world can see that the call is wrong or ignored?? Man, that's just not right and it never seems to get talked about enough or fixed. Constantly messing with the rules and making every damn call so complicated isn't helping. Hell, I don't have any idea what actually verifies a, "catch" anymore in the NFL. That 2nd Rodgers interception today...how can officials overturn calls like Megatron's catch against Chicago a few years ago, Dez's catch against the Pack last year, etc, etc, but then call that 2nd int. by Rodgers a catch when half of the ball was laying on the ground when the DB went down. If a receiver doesn't get his hands underneath the ball and keep it from touching the ground they'll call it a, "trap", no-catch 99.99% of the time.

I don't know. It's a sore subject with me too. I'm not going to go all, "conspiracy theory" about it but it does make me wonder sometimes. I've said it on this board before but if I ever lose total interest in the NFL, the officiating/lack of and blatant bad calls will play a big part in that happening.

[ThunderDan]

Marshmallow with his 2nd holding of the night.

[Joemailman]

Marshmallow with a couple holds tonight.

[ThunderDan]

Myles White sighting also.

[Joemailman]

Suppose Giants wish they'd kept James Jones?

[pbmax]

Kinda funny that MFF has gotten some good games, but SNF has gotten the clunkers.

[mraynrand]

^ Not tonight

[ThunderDan]

Fantastic finish to an incredibly boring first half of a game.

[pbmax]

^ Not tonight

Nope, every time a Giants WR got injured, the game got better.

[mraynrand]

Odell Beckham junior is weeping about his hamstring in interview. If he were with the Packers, he would be crying more than Dick Vermeil.

[mraynrand]

Nope, every time a Giants WR got injured, the game got better.

I confess I only turned it on with about 5 minutes left.

[pbmax]

I confess I only turned it on with about 5 minutes left.

I watched the first half and then had to turn away until the last Giants drive.

[mraynrand]

McCown sets throwing record for Brownies - 457

457!!

Tramon Williams still not sorry for offsides last weekend

[Joemailman]

Something interesting going on in Seattle:

Thomas Rawls: 58 carries, 326 yards, 5.6 YPC.
Marshawn Lynch: 38 carries, 128 yards, 3.4 YPC.

Given the problems Seattle has on the OL, is a younger quicker Rawls better even when Lynch comes back?

[mraynrand]

Sometimes RBs get old overnight.

[Fritz]

Lions' fans apoplectic after yesterday's absolute turd. Heard a great clip from Lions' safety Glover Quinn this morning. He sounds absolutely lost, absolutely confused about what the hell is happening.

Matt Stafford was yanked in the third quarter. The whole season has gone in the shitter for the Leos, and nobody knows what the hell to do about it. Bill Ford Jr. came out over the weekend and said he's no longer really involved with the team; he says his mom - Bill Sr.'s 90-year-old wife Martha - is in charge of the Lions.

Detroit quickly moving past Cleveland and Oakland for the Factory-of-Sadness Award.

Hard to figure which is sadder, Detroit or the new Suh.

Where's the QB??

Is this thing really on? Who is on the other end of this thing? Who is that old lady yapping in my ear?

[pbmax]

Somewhere online, there was an idea for a poll, which personnel transaction had done the most damage to both teams?

1. Ndamukong Suh
2. Jimmy Graham/Max Unger

Interesting. At first blush it's obviously #1 because it involves two teams in death spirals. But #2 just might be associated with the descent of one of the league's dominant teams to mediocrity, which in the end might be more the significant transformation. Now if only Michigan would return to their losing ways we could have a third option to debate. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Seattle can recover some semblance of an offense before this one can be decided.

[Cobra Kai]

This is something that has been building for the last couple of seasons but I noticed it more than ever this past weekend in other games. What is up with the stupid ass trend of players having II, III, JR, SR on their jerseys? The Packers don't do this jackassery as CMIII could and doesn't. I hate it. I'm not going to mistake you for your dad, grandpa, or your fucking son. Its so retarded. I blame the Lions and Titus Young for this...

Do you mean the damage done to Detroit by Suh's leaving, or the damage done to Miami by Suh's signing?

[mraynrand]

yes

Cobra Kai,

You have bestowed honor upon this thread. I bow in your general direction.

Repped

[pbmax]

Both. The question was which scenario was more lose-lose.

[Guiness]

Lev'on Bell...wow. I don't remember seeing a back like that since Barry Sanders.

[Guiness]

The latitude with which the referees decide there was a 'receiver in the area' is nothing short of ridiculous. I just watched Rivers throw the ball directly at the ground at the feet of a rusher who was 2-3 yards away...no penalty.

[MadScientist]

SD looks very mediocre and they are running out of O-linemen. If they don't heal quick, the Packers should have a good game next week.

[pittstang5]

Gates is gonna cause us fits

[Striker]

So many Steelers fans in San Diego...

[Striker]

That flag gives Pittsburgh such a great spot.

[MadScientist]

Assuming the TD stands, why do they bother with the extra point? If they have to do something, just take a knee.

[pbmax]

Gates is gonna cause us fits

I think we might choose to cover him. Unlike the Steelers zone in the middle.

Gates nearly cost me in Rat FF. Holy crap my lead barely held. :)

[pbmax]

Huge, gutsy call by Tomlin. Love it. First time since the 1st Quarter the Steeler O looked functional was that 2 minute drive.

Russell Wilson is on a pace to be sacked 70 times. That's astounding for a player with his mobility. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/12/russell-wilson-is-on-a-70-sack-pace/ When you add in how much he runs the ball, that's a lot of hits. He's never missed a game, but the Seahawks are playing with fire if they don't find a way to protect him.

He's gonna get David Carr Syndrome

They should get an all pro center to protect him.

Seriously. Was that decision Schneider or Carroll?

Its a mirror image of Randall Cunningham's Eagles. Great D, terrible O line. But Russell probably has better O line coaching going for him. Randall had Buddy Ryan, who taught Rex all he knew (close to zero) about the importance of keeping your QB alive and functioning.

It's pretty terrible. They also do the vector passing shit, where if the ball is thrown in the direction of a player, it's not grounding. Even if it's 25 yards over his head and out of bounds. That IS intentional grounding.
