That's a good way to play in the playoffs IMO. Push the rules as far as you can.


Seattle made a nice run doing this.

If Uno e Fatto wasn't such a coward and would for just once call the refs out, the team might get the benefit of the doubt on a call some day.

If you draw a line back from where the RT is on the line, he makes it outside of that spot, it's not by much but he does.

Easy Fix.

Make every call reviewable/reservable/challengable. I don't care how long games take, it will be RIGHT.

They've repeatedly shown they don't even get them right with replay.

I want them to call grounding more often, so I am biased.

They allow QB's way too much leeway on grounding IMO.

They still have control.


In fact, replay gives them more options to nudge a game in the direction they desire.

That's fine but it's still an example of saying one thing and then calling it a different way.

Like in that Atlanta game are they going to prop up the player in Ryan or the LA market?

WWE is fake but guess what even if you watch all of it you don't always know who's going to win do you?

Ahh, it's an obvious, yet still secret agenda. Makes sense...

What killed me was the end of the first half in the Falcons/Rams game. Reviewing a play that was not questionable while the Rams had the Falcons on the ropes. Not saying it changed the outcome of the game, but it was so tedious.

Add to that the ridiculous call when Mariotta fumbled the ball and both situations are a part of the story of why the NFL is losing interest.

The NFL, a contested catch requires passing the BAR examine and a calculus book.

Look what you're asking me to believe is that NFL officials are completely incompetent boobs who can be outperformed by kids. And you're also asking me to believe that even though they are that stupid their ****ups always seem to favor certain teams, how's that make sense?

It's pretty well rigged either way, if Patrick Mahomes turns into a face of the league guess who will get some calls in their favor?

The NFL was slobbering all over the Chiefs this year. GMF had a long piece about the Chiefs every damn day. They pumped up Mahomes.

The network is running national ads to publicize one of its charities using Kelce as the center piece player.

I don't like this argument.


It takes one official to nudge a game in a certain direction.


I hate the fact that this is even questionable because I love football damnit. The NFL is to blame whether they are nudging games or not. If they would clean up the horrific officiating and not let the worst ref umpire a playoff game we wouldn't be having this conversation.

That's nice but we're flyover country and until we have a star that matters we're gonna be nobodies like the Colts were till Manning got there.
