Week 13 NFL game thread

[heavyde050]

The NFL will grade that DPI call as correct. They want the flag anytime the DB uses his hands to prevent a receiver from getting two hands in the air. While obviously it didn't affect stride, he was grabbing (and maintained the grab for several steps) the wrist of the receiver. That's subtle, that's taught, and that's a foul

Then I hope the grades for the Pats/Bills game fail on all the missed DPI and incorrect OPI calls.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Tie game in about 10 minutes.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Geez, that's about as clean as a linebacker can come to a QB. Nobody touched him. Dalton is lucky to be getting up, never mind holding onto the ball.

 

[nothumb]

I just think its' honestly incompetence. I think they are missing calls they should make, and making calls they shouldn't make. There is absolutely no consistency from play to play.

probably this. but it looks worse when a crew throws a lot of flags, because they invariably miss fouls that are more egregious than ones they already called.

also i do think home bias and team reputation are often a factor in-game with this stuff.

Yeah, I thought it was a good call.

 

[Blue Monkey]

LaDrop. Some things never change

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yeah, I thought it was a good call.

And a really stupid defensive play. No need whatsoever.

 

[edmunddantes]

Killer drop.

 

[Bergs]

THERE'S the Brandon LaFell we know and love.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Tie game in about 10 minutes.

Maybe less.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Killer drop.

I'm actually happy it wasn't a fumble. That's a step up for Brandon.

 

[edmunddantes]

Yeah, I thought it was a good call.

only if it is called consistently. And it’s not even close to being called consistently that way.

 

[heavyde050]

Yeah, I thought it was a good call.

Yeah that one definitely was DPI as he prevented the receiver from raising his one arm.
The one in the end zone I can't tell if it should have been called or not. I can see both sides.

 

[heavyde050]

#27 again with the dumb penalty.

 

[Bergs]

only if it is called consistently. And it’s not even close to being called consistently that way.

It was a good call. The fact that it gets missed a lot is immaterial.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I swear that the level of coaching going on with the special teams units around the NFL has to be the worst of any position group, college or pro. I mean, guys get called for such obvious holding, or blocks in the back that you wonder if anyone has ever actually explained the rules to them.

 

[nothumb]

It was a good call. The fact that it gets missed a lot is immaterial.

how can it be immaterial? the fact that the NFL has rules it can't consistently enforce is like 75% of the problem.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Jesus fuck, fucking roughing call.

 

[Blue Monkey]

How stupid can you fucking be?

 

[Bergs]

Bengals gonna Bengal.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I mean

 

[RedOctober3829]

153 penalty yards. Got to be kidding me, Bengals.

 

[54thMA]

The Bengals with 6,000 penalty yards and there are still 7 minutes to play.

 

[Bergs]

how can it be immaterial? the fact that the NFL has rules it can't consistently enforce is like 75% of the problem.

Agreed. But that was a good call.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ummmmmmmm

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That's a PF on Smith-Schuster.

 

[Ed Hillel]

And that’s a suspension, right?

 

[mostman]

This is not the product the NFL wants on the field on Monday night.

 

[edmunddantes]

Textbook taunting.

 

[54thMA]

These two teams are literally trying to kill each other.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jesus Christ

 

[streeter88]

153 penalty yards. Got to be kidding me, Bengals.

All they need is one more long DPI and they'll be outgaining Roethlisberger.

 

[HurstSoGood]

Holy hell, what a hit. And looked clean.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why isn’t he ejected?

 

[CFB_Rules]

That's a head shot on a defenseless player. Would be an ejection in NCAA. Why the NFL won't adopt the college rule is beyond me.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Steelers going to Bengal

 

[nothumb]

he should be tossed for that.

 

[luckiestman]

Thunder Dome

 

[The Needler]

What a punk.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why isn’t he ejected?

Refs are chickenshit and would rather let the league figure it out.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Holy hell, what a hit. And looked clean.

He hit him in the head.

 

[koufax32]

30 yard penalty?

 

[Freddy Linn]

That’s awful.

 

[mostman]

Holy hell, what a hit. And looked clean.

Did you see the replay?

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

Jesus, these teams turn into morons when they play each other.

 

[The Needler]

Holy hell, what a hit. And looked clean.

Clean? Seriously?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

And JuJu lays out Burfict, and Burfict is down. That's a dirty ass play. Looks like Burfict wants to get up, but the training staff is making him stay down.

 

[normstalls]

Suspend him

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's a head shot on a defenseless player. Would be an ejection in NCAA. Why the NFL won't adopt the college rule is beyond me.

He also got two penalties that, if on different plays, would have been an autoejection. But because one’s negated, he skirts?

 

[edmunddantes]

Holy hell, what a hit. And looked clean.

does t that fall under the peel back and crack back block rule?
