The official NFL thread

One guy, $20

 

That ending was pretty weak. I really hate those clock eating shenanigans.

 

Yes it was - very weak. It probably didn't change the ending, but it left a sour taste.

Yes they did. It was a very weak call.

 

No. They didn’t. But ok. Those damn refs won it for the chiefs. They didn’t show on tv when he literally grabbed the back of his jersey at the line and hung on. You know, holding.

 

let’s put that excuse to bed shall we.

 

Tough loss .. go birds.

 

I dunno @BTBAKER . Just went back and watched it multiple times. @T-Rex266 tesla couldn’t have caught up with that ball.

 

That doesn’t matter on a holding call at the line of scrimmage. Bottom line, the defender literally admitted it.

 

Meh, it’s over and done. No sense in complaining about the calls and what not.

I’m going to get back on the train of complaining about how they can’t figure out what a catch or a fumble is anymore. Boooo hissss “get off my lawn” and such.

 

I dunno, it adds a bit of different strategy and made me look good in front of the wife like I knew what I was talking about when I said, "they don't need a TD, just run clock and get field goal", and after that, "now it's gonna either be laterals or if those 3 receivers run post then a hail mary". And then Olsen follows that with "they will lateral", but Hurts ends up trying a deep ball. She was impressed lol.

 

Regardless of the outcome, how awesome was it that we didn't have to listen to Joe Buck for 3.5 hours?

 

I don’t mind Joe Buck at all.

I thought Fox was boring with their coverage. CBS seems to do a much better job IMO.

 

That kind of holding occurs in every play in the NFL AND college football. Like I said originally, it probably would not have mattered anyway, so cut your "blame the refs" crap that I SPECIFICALLY was not doing.

Kudos to the player for the integrity, but like I said, it was a weak call.

 

Yea. Ok.

 

That was a good game. Lots of back and forth, some great plays and some excitement.

 

Three years 150.4 mil!!!! Holy Moly!

I think this is his old contract, not a new signing.

Jalen just signed a 5y 255M contact though.

 

Clearly I shouldn’t have spent all that time on multiple degrees and should have really invested my time into throwing a ball better.

 

Oh I just breezed thru it and saw 23 and 24. Sorry. About that

 

Rodgers traded to the Jets?? WOW!!!

fixed the spelling sorry

 

So… they finish second to last in the division now?

 

Russell Wilson's first turnover of 2023.

 

Well, that happened last season WITH Rodgers, so there's that.

But apparently that will be last place now, since according to Rodgers, he owns the Bears so I guess they'll be going with him.

 

I was referring to the Jets. I see where you are coming from though.

 

Doh!

I wonder how happy Zach will be, being that Rodgers is his idol. Or will he pissed instead having to stand on the sidelines after starting the last 2 seasons (well, maybe semi-starting the 2022 season). The GM seems to think it'll be good for Zach, but gotta wonder if technically being demoted will affect his capacity to learn a lot from Rodgers, given Zach's past comments about bringing in another veteran QB.

 

Made some slate foozeball coasters for my buddies at the local lumber yard. Theyre all Mainers but fans of all different teams which is cool. Quite the spread, its like fight club in there during the season

 

I see one really nice coaster.
