Im sorry, thats not football for me. I dont find that shit entertaining.
nailed it, I haven't watched other teams in years. Kaepernick deal did piss me off though, Trump was right again.

In your example, I don't think you could run that far and still be considered going to the ground. Although I don't want to pretend that I know how long somebody could be stumbling along and still be considered going to the ground. But Kelce was going to the ground.

On a different note: as I commented in the other thread, I think the NFL should tweak the rule so that control, two feet down, and then touching out of bounds is a catch (same with endzone) and you no longer need control so Kelce would have been a catch.
Thanks, makes sense.

Still disagree with the call, but I'm a Chiefs fan..

There's no such thing as a free lunch, right?

Ad revenue will still be there, it's not like you can't advertise on the internet.

The more people that you have watch, the more money you make, so opening yourself to a wider audience can only help.

You can watch games for Free on CBS, NBC and FOX already, it's not like it's that earth-shattering, what I'm suggesting.

I can understand the argument for getting rid of it. Overall I like it but it definitely has tradeoffs.

You're doing a good thing

Until they make PI calls reviewable ..at least over 20 yards or late in games, then there will always be people skeptical of fixing games. The NFL has never provided a suitable response to why a game-changing "judgement" penalty resulting in 40-50 yards cant be reviewed. Block in the back calls on returns should be reviewable too...

All ****ing penalties are "judgement" calls...

If you put all of the games on the internet, the NFL isn't getting $1 billion from Direct TV per year, they're not getting $2 billion per year from ABC/Disney for Monday Night Football nor are they getting an additional $500 million for Thursday night football.

It's overexposed as it is and putting games on the internet for free would dilute the product further.

I will pinpoint the most accurate time of death:

When they fined Harris and he said "**** this shit, maybe I just won't ****ing play anymore".

Yep, that was it.

As for Replay, I'm at the point where I believe it should be used for scoring plays only.

Stop the ridiculous overturning of catches.

The most popular video games in the world are free, and they also make the most money by far.

It's a new world out there. I could be wrong, sure, but in 10 years, Cable could be dead for all we know.

If the NBA beats out the NFL to widespread, free, internet streaming...then RIP NFL being the king.

The turn off grows....NFL will soon make a choice. Fans? Loon Players? Who writes the checks?

Do you get a Google Alert every time someone mentions the Patriots cheating so you can log in and do damage control?

Prime time sucks because most of the prime time matchups this year have been terrible....like the Titans v. Jags......or the constant NFC v. NFC, particularly east coast teams.

It gets old

I agree with the catches but scoring only? No. The Refs suck too much for that.

I'd rather put the game in the hands of the refs, especially when they call a catch, a catch, than turning over the calls to a New York "Czar" that's more concerned with the Point Spread than the game itself.
