I am all in on Thursday night football being an awful product, but it shouldn’t really matter in Week 1.
That commercial kind of sucked.
I will still be buying plenty of Nike Dri fit shirts and the Kyrie Bruce Lee’s if I ever find them at a decent price

Damn, Julio makes that catch in his sleep. The Falcons finally hit the big one, and Julio bobbles it enough that he makes it questionable. It'll be so Atlanta-like if they don't have a better angle, and they can't overturn it.
I think he pinned against his shoulder, but then the defender swatted at it while they were on the ground, and he bobbled it again. The question is going to be whether or not he had it pinned for long enough to establish control, and whether they have a good enough view.
And there it is, not a catch.

Or maybe they're all paid off. These refs are so bad, they make NBA refs seem competant.
Yeah, catch. Too bad it was called on the field the way it was.
NFL didn’t want a catch controversy, for sure.

If the Kearse catch in SB 49 was a catch, as it was and correctly called, so should this be. I usually get the nuances of what a catch is/isn't in this league, but not why this wasn't one. Awful call.
Let's not get crazy. NBA officiating is on a level all unto itself. Or not on the level...
I think that's right. I think if it was called a catch on the field, it would have stood. I think there was probably enough to overturn it, but I certainly see an argument that there wasn't. From both the overhead view and the field view, you lose sight of the ball right when the defender is passing by, and Julio is definitely still moving his hands around.
Holy shit, if Atlanta loses Trufant, Neal and Jones for any length of time, they might give up 40 a week for a while.
Edit: Looks like just a cramp for Jones. I'm a big fan of his. Dude can play.

The MAGA mouth breathers are watching Fox News on Sunday anyway. The ratings are down because the product sucks unless you root for one of the 5-6 teams that has an actual quarterback, and as a casual fan every time you flip the channel to a game it’s in a commercial or goes to one quickly.
If the nfl is going to give out flags like candy it’s going to kill the ratings.
I’m listening to parts of the game while working. Sounds like a shit show. But it is fun listening to Boomer shred Ryan on almost every play.
Looks like Matt Ryan is heading to the cliff that Max Kellerman said Brady was going over like 5 years ago. Of course, the one really good ball he did throw was bobbled by Julio, and ruled incomplete, and probably changed the entire game because the Eagles went down and scored a td on the next possession.
Good question. Even though when he signed with the Saints, I get it was too expensive then, but when he was traded to Philly, not so much, given how little capital they gave up. I mean, to further your point, the Pats have plays in the book named specifically after Sproles.
