Colts must have been favored anyway I assume at homeWhat was the spread?
Colts were favored. That didn't matter for the line.What was the spread?
because jones didnt get out of bounds and they would have had to rush to line to spike itThen why the TO at 12 secs?
Huh? They could have just waited until the clock read 04 and called the tobecause jones didnt get out of bounds and they would have had to rush to line to spike it

probably wanted to take one more shot at the end zoneHuh? They could have just waited until the clock read 04 and called the to
With 12 seconds from the 30?probably wanted to take one more shot at the end zone
The Lions lucked out in this one. just a dumb football team always
again nobody says the Lions are smart.With 12 seconds from the 30?
I think the play call was for Stafford to roll left and if the short out wasn't wide open for a small gain right at the sidelines, he should throw it away. Probably wanted to gain a few more yards since Prater had missed an extra point earlier.With 12 seconds from the 30?

I think the main reason is that any foul (like a false start, delay of game) would have caused a 10 second run off and ended the game if they had taken the time out with less than 10 seconds left.Huh? They could have just waited until the clock read 04 and called the to
Aren't runoffs only when the clock was running when the dead ball penalty occurred?I think the main reason is that any foul (like a false start, delay of game) would have caused a 10 second run off and ended the game if they had taken the time out with less than 10 seconds left.
I don't think "injustice" means what you think it means.Maybe there's a more proper thread for this. Commenting on it because it has been an issue this week in the NFL
I'm curious about the players not standing for the national anthem. I, for one, think they not only have the right to do it, they are also not being unpatriotic if they are using it to protest what they believe to be injustice. I also think people have the right to criticize them if they disagree.
Ok, that said, something to consider. From 2000-2013, NFL players committed violent crimes at a rate above (and in many cases, well above) similar demographics of men who do not play in the NFL.
"The combined measure of 2000 to 2013 found that NFL players have been arrested for violent crimes at a rate above 20- and 30-something men as a whole in the 21st century overall.
Violent crime, as categorized by the researchers, included things like murder, manslaughter, DUI manslaughter, robbery, aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape, battery, domestic violence, child abuse and kidnapping."
So we have a demographic of people who commit more violent crimes (as a percentage) than men their age who do not play in the NFL. So why aren't NFL players protesting this form of injustice? The injustice that their peers are perpetrating on women and kids? Why aren't they protesting this form of injustice?
Maybe so. If a cop assaults a young black man, say, that automatically gets put in the category of injustice. Shouldn't an NFL player with privilege beating a woman or a child also be put in the category of injustice?I don't think "injustice" means what you think it means.
You are correct: http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/timingfinalAren't runoffs only when the clock was running when the dead ball penalty occurred?
What the hell are you talking about? You can disagree with the method the players have chosen to protest all you want, but suggesting that NFL players as a group do not have the credibility to protest because a disproportionate number of them have committed violent crimes is stupid.Maybe so. If a cop assaults a young black man, say, that automatically gets put in the category of injustice. Shouldn't an NFL player with privilege beating a woman or a child also be put in the category of injustice?
And if we say it's not an injustice if the NFL player gets arrested and put in jail for it (for justice would have been carried out), wouldn't it also not be an injustice if the cop who assaults a young black man gets the proper consequences?
Or do we need to wait to see what actually happens to the person doing the assaulting before we can call it an injustice?
I don't really want to get into this too much. I just am trying to point out that these NFL players - who have the right to protest anything they want - are committing a disproportionately high number of violent crimes. Maybe they should take time trying to straighten themselves out is all I'm saying.
You were too polite. It was a stupid fucking postWhat the hell are you talking about? You can disagree with the method the players have chosen to protest all you want, but suggesting that NFL players as a group do not have the credibility to protest because a disproportionate number of them have committed violent crimes is stupid.
There are many NFL players who do all the right things off the field and in the community. Their ability to speak out against injustice when they see it is not compromised because a guy like Greg Hardy is a piece of shit.
I didn't say I disagreed with the NFL players' method of protesting. I said, just two posts of mine ago, "I, for one, think they not only have the right to do it, they are also not being unpatriotic if they are using it to protest what they believe to be injustice."What the hell are you talking about?

Says the guy who thought I disagreed with their form of protest when in my previous post I literally said just the opposite, and when corrected, didn't even acknowledge the correction. Look, I don't mind anyone disagreeing with me and pointing out mistakes I make (believe me, there's plenty of them), but when you get so much wrong in your criticism of me, it's a little hard to take seriously.Actually, yes, it is quite unfair to lump all NFL players in the same bucket like that. You said "Maybe they should take time trying to straighten themselves out is all I'm saying". There are over 1600 players on NFL rosters, none of whom actually have the power to cut a player who commits an assault. Given that they don't decide whether or not NFL teams sign serial abusers, what, exactly, do you mean by "straightening themselves out"?
What should Devin McCourty (to name one player on the Pats who participated) do specifically in your eyes before he raises his fist at the conclusion of the anthem?
And with that I'll drop it because your posts are riddled with stupid.
Get his brother to sign in NE.What should Devin McCourty (to name one player on the Pats who participated) do specifically in your eyes before he raises his fist at the conclusion of the anthem?
It's the ascot.The ESPN half time analysts are much more coherent and less murdery. Can't put my finger on it.
