N.F.L. 21-22 Season (3 Viewers)

Some fugly games this weekend. The Pats-Giants game was painful. Maybe the Pats will get the first pick and take Caleb Williams. The Jets are still awful. The Steelers keep finding ugly ways to win. These games are excruciating to watch.

Look no further than those college games yesterday with thrilling finishes and electric atmospheres, then look at the ****show the NFL trots out as a professional product.

It's apples to hand grenades, should be the other way around, to me the NFL is just unwatchable..............regarding the Patriots, it's one thing to suck, it's another to be boring as **** while you're doing it.

Since they started 9-4 in 2021 and were the talk of the league, they are 11-22 since, Mac Jones sucks, their coaching staff sucks, the entire roster sucks, they need to fire Belichick and blow it up, it will be years before they are competitive again, will take several good drafts and a few years of smart free agent signings.................they are 1990/1-15 bad..................

The wheel always turns. The Pats were the doormat of the NFL for decades. Then they went on the greatest run in history. History being the key word. Mac Jones is a bust. If they finish at the bottom, they get Williams or that QB from UNC. A good place to start rebuilding.
 
Watching the Eagles game and thinking about those fans sitting all night in the cold rain, paying thousands for the privilege, and then having to drive home in the Philly traffic. One guy told me it took him an hour to get out of the parking lot at an Eagles game last year.

An hour? I went to the 2016 AFCCG and we hung out in the parking lot for about three hours waiting for the traffic to clear out, cars around us moved 20 feet in an hour.

The other thing I don't get is the coaches on the sideline are wearing winter hats with hooded jackets, the hats are drenched; why not put the hood up?
 
That was a soul crushing loss by the Bills. Josh Allen did everything he could again but still came up short. That seems to be a pattern.

Stadiums differ. Some have good exits, others don’t.

Speaking of sucking at coaching; during yesterdays game, it was 3rd and 12 from the 14 for the Jints, the DC of the Patriots calls an all out blitz, leaving cornerbacks on an island......and that tomato can stiff QB of the Jints Danny Devito/Louie Devito/Gumba Devito throws a TD pass..........the toast of Jersey, lives with his parents, he sucked at Syracuse, in that spot even that stiff can throw a TD.

Why an all out blitz in the red zone, just sit back in coverage and make him beat you.

Had they held there, they win a thriller 7-6..........oh wait; losing improved their draft spot.

Nevermind.

Carry on.
 
His name is Tommy DeVito bro and although he went to Syracuse, he graduated from Illinois.

Say anything bad about Jersey, well, you don’t want to know what’s going to happen. Just sayin’.

Oh pardon me, my bad, wouldn't want to offend that tomato can.

That Goomba celebration after he throws a TD is...................something.

I'm glad they lost, I hope they end up 2-15, the ****tier the better.

Patriots losing to the Giants. It’s a tradition.
 
Talk of Joe Flacco starting for Cleveland this weekend with injuries to their QBs. Yes, Joe Flacco. He will probably play like Joe Montana against the Rams and then retire.

you should be ok, he still sucks.

Flacco is a statue. He played for the Jets the last two years and was generally terrible.
 
NFL Thoughts...the AFC North will come down to week 18 in Baltimore against Steelers, ...Mac Jones sucked last year and nothing changed only worse in 2023....Eagles looking like SB favorite.....Panthers missed terribly on CJ and took Bryce, Refs still giving games away....Bills have to be the biggest letdown so far.....SB as of today, will be a repeat of last year, only the Eagles getting a Win this time
 
Anybody see the hitjob piece put out by Deadspin and then picked up by national sports media about the 9 year old native american Kansas City Chiefs fan who had his face painted red and black and was wearing a headdress? Ridiculous hit job that was called out and now Deadspin is not responding or printing a retraction. I hope the family sues them out of existence, this is what is wrong with our Press. The fact that some national outlets ran with this before verification is even worse. A 9 year old and an minority in his own right to boot. Unbelievable.

I bet most regular posters on this thread will read it and not disagree.

Actually, I do disagree. The leagues in all sports use instant replay to review calls but you can’t review every play. You could have refs that are employed full time by the NFL but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll have better calls. Fans will never boycott the games so to say they should do that is silly and playing to the grandstand. Is the ref-ing bad? Yes, but that’s a perennial problem. In a certain respect I don’t think leagues terribly mind the bad calls because it gets people talking.

There are always going to be bad calls so long as it depends on humans. The most underrated bad officiating relates to ball placement. A half yard one way or the other after third down often determines whether a team has to punt. The equivalent to a turnover. And then the endless debate about whether the ball crossed the goal line. In a multi-billion dollar profit industry, why not a technological solution that can neutrally determine how far the ball has advanced? A chip, laser or something in the ball or sideline. They do that sort of thing in tennis.

The last suggestion is a good one. In some of the Grand Slam tournaments like the US and Australian Opens they have the technology installed. Interestingly, Wimbledon and the French Open don't use it.

Brad:

I respect your opinion and I did say “most”, not all.

The NFL continues to be at the top of US television sports viewership by a wide margin among other sports.

I think the article is trying to point out how we have all seen our favorite team lose because of bad calls. When that happens fans say they’ll never watch another game.

Yet those same fans all tune in next week, netting the NFL millions in advertising revenue.

The NFL has never tried full time refs so we have no idea how that might change things.

Brst,
jason
