NFL 2015 Season (2 Viewers)

As unbelievable as it may seem or once may have seemed, the Redskins will be in 1st place in the NFC Least. If somehow the Cowboys could get it together, they might still have a chance.

Gomer Pyle having a Hell of a game, three INT'S, including one bone headed throw in the end zone.

Apparently, the Giants blow unless the team they are playing is from New England.
 
A close run thing in the end, but the Redskins have somehow managed to take 1st place in their march to the Super Bowl.:rolleyes2: The NFC East rules; a 5-6 team is in the lead. Unbelievable but completely understandable in the NFL of today. -- Al
 
Just saw one of the worst calls I've seen in a long time: Quinton Dial of the 49ers sacked Carson Palmer and they called roughing the passer. Unbelievable!
 
Some more terrible calls. In tonight's game: the interference call on Gronkowski followed by the no call on the hit on Brady.

The refs screwed up the clock again. It's a continual problem. Week after week the NFL is apologizing for ref errors and things never get better. :mad: -- Al
 
Let me preface my comments with I know the Patriots hate is rabid in the NFL and across the fanbases in the league, but my God, what a bag job that was.

That was NBA/WWE at it's finest.

Off the top of my head, a BS OPI call on Gronkowski that wipes out a first down that would have iced the game, then a blow to the head where the defensive player left his feet and launched at Brady was not called, then a sack which would have made it third and goal from the 19 gets wiped on a ticky tack horseshit holding call, making it first and goal on the three, then on the go ahead TD, a blatant hands to the face is not called, then on the first drive of OT, Talib holds, no call, then on the game winning TD run, there was not one, not two, but three holding calls, one of which a player was basically tackled, no call.

That is just off the top of my head, there were a **** ton more bad calls.

The league and their geriatric refs are a total and utter embarassment.

Oh and Gronk got killed.

Just awesome.

I think that hitting Brady illegally or what passes as the wussie roughing the passer rule, should be a required course in today's NFL. About time he gets his perfect teeth, glued on hair, philandering nature, ground into the turf at least 7 times a game..:pMichael
 
I'm not a Patriots fan but that was a terrible job of officiating. After having watched the refs in the Cardinals 49ers call roughing the passer on a sack, it boggles the mind how a similar call was not made in this game. The Pats got screwed on this one. Leaving that aside, you have to admire Brady's work because he's missing so many offensive weapons. He kept them in the game as long as he could.
 
George...

from what I have seen...
I don't think Gronk's injury is gonna be that bad...
I hope it's not...

I heard or read something...
saying he walked...
with a slight limp...
unassisted to the locker room...
that's a good sign...
because it looked very painful to him when I saw it...

if Amendola...
or Gronkowski...
is or isn't back next week...
NE will still be a favorite in it's last 5 games...
so you should have home field through the playoffs...

bad calls...missed call...arguable calls...
holds...picks...interference...hands to face...etc...
that's football..
you can analyze every single play in slow motion and find them...
on both teams...
they are part of the game...

my concern...
was their lack of running game last night...
NE didn't seem to have a running game last night...

but Denver has a very good defense...
even without Demarcus Ware last night...

and Brady is one of the few QB's...
that is good enough not to need one every game...

still...
last night they had 39 yards on 16 carries...

Denver had 179 on 32 carries...
that's a huge differential...
 
It's probably better not to carry that undefeated monkey on their back into the playoffs. All the pressure is on an undefeated team in the post season. A meaningless loss. Denver is going to drop a couple of games without a QB and not have home field in the playoffs. Hard to see the Pats losing at home.
 
I agree that there will always be a bad call here and there but it seems it's gotten to be commonplace this year. Yesterday seemed especially poor. I don't know if it's the head referees or not but the supporting staff under them seem especially poor.

Brad...

in any sport...

baseball...basketball...football...etc...

the human factor will always be there til we replace them with machines...

humans make mistakes...

some of these are judgement calls...

right or wrong...

the penalized party will usually complain and not see it that way...

there has been extensive talk about re-vamping the rule book...

especially...

"what is a catch"...

in the Seattle/Pittsburgh game yesterday...

there was an interception on the sideline...

the announcers asked the residential tv expert...

some retired NFL referee...

and he said no catch...

after the review...

the live crew said catch...

whatever...hahaha...

nobody has a clear grasp of this rule...
 
The difference, Mike, is that in baseball, being an umpire is their profession, not a sidelight. The NFL need a full time staff of officials. Even though that is their full time job, it still didn't prevent mistakes being made in baseball. That is why MLB now has review that has basically eliminated the mistakes umpires make, other than an inconsistency in the strike zone.

The NFL needs to do something to fix it. Will they? Doubtful.

I remember that during a soccer World Cup a few years back where there had been some bad calls, FIFA (the governing body of soccer) said it didn't particularly mind the bad call as it got people talking about soccer. Perhaps that is the attitude of the NFL.
 
There was a discussion on one of the pre-game shows about the quality of the calls being made this year and one of the excuses is that there is a very high number of new/young refs on the field this year. Whatever. I think part of the problem is the replay system allows the refs to make calls that are borderline and hope it gets corrected on review. Reviews are getting out of hand, and along with so many rules being open to individual interpretation, everything is being questioned and chaos is resulting. No one is happy. Maybe reviews should only be allowed on scoring plays leaving everything else to the way it used to be, on the refs. It would certainly speed up the game. At any rate, the rule book desperately needs to be streamlined. If a catch looks like a catch, it should be a catch. If it quacks like a duck... -- Al
 
You are absolutely right Mike, complaining about how bad the refs are and pointing out blown calls/non calls is pointless; they suck this year across the board.

I don't think the problem lies with the new refs, the problem lies with the old fossils out there, like the stooge last night who was the chief of that crew, he's 64 years old and reports were his teeth were chattering late in the game last night, he was basically out of it mentally while he froze his *** off.

He blew a call earlier in the game; the Patriots got a first down, but he threw a flag claiming that #71 did not report as eligible when in fact he did, the replay showed him coming onto the field with his hand up rubbing his chest, which is the signal.

Thank God, another of the crew corrected the moron.

Then on the last drive where the Patriots were moving into field goal range, he kept saying Denver lost a time out due to an "injured" player on the field when Denver was out of time outs.

What are you babbling about you fossil?

It's one thing to blow calls, it's another to be incompetent out there.

These refs need to be accountable; each crew should get reviewed after each game and if they grade out to an overall C or worse, they should be docked a weeks pay, that will get their heads out of their rear ends.

All of this is a mute point if that moron Harper doesn't fumble that punt; the Patriots were up two scores, Denver and their new All World QB Burgermystermysterburger had done squat and the crowd was out of the game; after the fumble, naturally the clown marches them down the field, they score and those yahoos out in Denver were back into the game.

And if they showed that clowns family in the crowd one more time, I was going to throw the tv through the window, ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THIS STOOGE.

It's a meaningless loss if they run the table.

All I can say is imagine if that was a playoff game, I would have had an epic meltdown over that ****show of a game.
 
I couldn't agree more with George about what he said. That performance last night was no better -- in fact, probably worse -- than the replacement refs they had last year that cost GB a game against the Seahawks. It's inexcusable.

One other call, I think it was overtime, maybe when Gronkowski was still in the game, but on a short pass play, it was blatant pass interference and you saw Brady go ballistic, and rightly so.

There is just no consistency how calls are made. What is acceptable in one game is not in another. How can a team prepare for a game that way.
