Saturday NFL games thread

[tyke1doe]

Very entertaining day of football.

I'm ready for our game to be boring ... in our favor, of course.

 

[Rockport]

I see bad calls-go against my team, for my team...and in games I don't care.

The sheer quantity of crazy calls, their egregious nature is epic. Then when you consider the financial nature of running a league where you also are also the casino-annointer, making over a billion in gambling contracts (with mechanisms to make vastly more under-the-table)....

I find it naive to believe that NFL isn't often monkeying with results.

 

[Doomsay]

Great to have a blinding snow bowl

 

[T-RO]

So the calls are so much worse since the advent of gambling on the NFL?

Gambling has been a part of the NFL since its inception, and always been a factor. Things got worse when the NFL owners overtly started getting in on the action...and as gambling revenues have exploded.

Cowboys do play well on the road.

got the Briggs and Stratton engine started

 

[GORICO]

They were extremely lucky to beat them and Washington.

Forward progress was the call. Non-reviewable. Glad it was the Vikings and not the Cowboys because this place would've exploded.

Jake just shows....give us a "shot" that is all we need

 

[GORICO]

We will need a series of plats.

Are you up for it?

mr Risen--Rockport said ....man we gotta go mega- million....and Giga-billion....Tetra-trillion....no more small stuff...after watching Vikings overcome 33-0.....i said that is it......just give us a "shot" that is all we need

Our 40-3 beatdown of Minnesota a few weeks ago is starting to look less impressive.

wait i misunderstood....how did our 40-3 beatdown of Vikings look less impressive when they were down 33-0 and came back and won 39-36?.....i may be missing something?

 

[GORICO]

So far only one team is playing Colts beating Vikings 23-0

that is when i turned it off too....then i heard not only 23-0 but halftime ....33-0.....but final in OT...Vikings 39 colts 36.....all i can say is poor Matty Ice....they dont call him that anymore


you are up 28-3 in Super bowl late in 3rd QTR and lose....up 33-7 late in 3rd Qtr and lose......can i blame the defense on both those?....if i was Matty i would.....too much pain to bear?

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Probably. But how does the ref announce THAT? Sheesh.

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a snow ball!

It was looking less impressive when they were down 33-0 which is what the score was when I commented. The Vikings clearly have some issues despite being 11-3. Most times you would like to avoid having to play an 11-3 team in the playoffs but with the Vikings you would welcome it.

As many times as I’ve nailed you about your plat guarantees I don’t think you do. Lol

AGREE TOTALLY

kJJ i dont take those personally....just like i dont go out of my way to gamble.....i am a total HOMER with cowboys so yes i go way over the top and it comes back to bite me.....but i get over it quickly

except that Green Bay game....still ticked about that.....first time Dak ever played Rogers he beat him soundly at Lambeau field....ever since then Rogers has owned Dak...ticks me off

 

[GORICO]

Rock---- what makes your statement obvious was the "no call" against the saints receiver in that playoff game....you could have been in the nose bleed seats and seen that....and not one offical threw a flag

that is beyond the scope of credulous

Miami Dolphins are better than their 8-7 record.....the fins were leading 26-21 heading into the 4th....too good to be true though...

 

[Flamma]

Can they get penalized for throwing snowballs at the players if it were to affect a play?

Back in the 80s the Browns fans by the Dawg Pound would throw dog biscuits at the opposing team. I saw a close up once of it literally raining biscuits on the entire Broncos offensive line and John Elway right before the play. They played through it.

A lot better than their 8-6 record. Unless you're predicting their 7th loss already?

They lost 3 games when he had his concussion. Otherwise I think they'd be right there with the Bills.

The Vikings are dangerous; they have the talent and Cousins can get hot. saying you would welcome playing them is a little naive.
