More Banjo: Week 2 versus Vikings

[mraynrand]

It's a complete shitshow now.

I put this game right alongside the "Fail Mary" game in Seattle for getting completely ripped off.

The Fail Mary was due to an incompetent replacement referee. This one due to over regulation where no one knows what the hell constitutes "roughing" anymore.

What's really the point of following this garbage any more if this is the "new normal?"

I agree. And if you really want to be angry, just watch for what the officials/NFL say about this during the coming week. The will circle the wagons like nobody's business and tell you how stupid you are for not understanding and loving the 'rules.'

Yea, I was pissed in the preseason and more so now that they count. They call it the Rodgers rule and I'm not blaming him, it's the morons in New York.

Couldn't agree more. It's like watching the WWE now and I sure as Hell don't waste my time watching that shit so I don't know why I continue to waste my time watching the NFL. I need to get back into fishing and doing other stuff on Fall weekends.

My only regret is, the Claymaker didn’t send Captain Kirk to Hades for the season with that hit.

Are you Greg Williams by chance?

That kind of thing works both ways..

I, along with all of Canada, stopped watching the WWF after Brett “The Hitman” Hart was robbed of the Title in that infamous match against Shawn Michaels.

I stopped watching wrestling when The Crusher retired.

I was just joking. I woulda been stoic if that happened. Lol.

Shit, I’m watching Pats-Jags, and just saw highlights of the GOAT being slammed onto the ground shortly after releasing rock. No flags.

Yes. They think fans are complete idiots for the most part. We're not sophisticated enough to understand that was really roughing.

And with how much money is spent in tickets, viewing packages, team apparel, etc..., maybe they are right.

$65 for a T-shirt from the Packers ProShop? I’ll take one inYellow AND Green!

And let me be clear. I would feel just as nauseated if that happened to the opponent on a game clinching play (and it will, these things usually even out). It's just not a good rule and we have seemed to have jumped the shark when it's comes to rule tampering.

An amazing thing happened after that play. Instead of being angry, I lost interest in the outcome of the game. Regardless of outcome, the game was tainted. Same thing happened to a smaller degree last Sunday.

At some point, maybe sooner than later, people are going to stop caring because the outcomes of close games won't make sense, won't have consistency, and will seem arbitrary.

Agree completely.

I don't think I can articulate accurately my hatred of these new roughing the passer penalties.

How the fuck can you determine if a guys weight was on the QB? And how in the fuck can some big dude tackle him without landing on him.


They DO NOT call it for driving the QB into the ground, you get called for landing on the guy. Richardson got called last week for essentially tacking the guy.

Landing with your full weight, fair enough. I think you are right. But to determine that, you need to see the leverage points and I think they missed one.
