Divisional Weekend Gamethread

[quint]

I prefer the easy way out with everything in my life.

Hooray, you're part of the problem.

 

[mascho]

Welker can tackle, I see.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Holding on Welker

 

[Sportsbstn]

lol Welker basically tackled the defender on the block

 

[patinorange]

Nice holding Wes.

 

[Byrdbrain]

FYI ball is snapped first sound after Omaha.

 

[bradmahn]

Welker with the hold.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

It's something along the lines of common knowledge.

It's released before the season starts, retard.

 
Even more, the time slots have alternated between the AFC/NFC every year since realignment. 

 

[shawnrbu]

Snapped at 00.

 

[Dogman]

Another delay.  
 
Yep, league wants Denver.

 

[brandonchristensen]

And that's it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

San Diego really did play like they were happy they got in and won a game. 

 

[Boston Brawler]

Over.

 

[bradmahn]

This is something god awful from the refs.

 

[mascho]

FYI ball is snapped first sound after Omaha.

 
No, because they've gone "Omaha - set" which is a snap.
 
But have then gone "Omaha - check" which is an audible.
 
EDIT:  Which is how they are drawing the neutral zone penalties.  DL jumps on the first sound after Omaha expecting the snap.

 

[Dogman]

Denver it is.

 

[ragnarok725]

I hate that the officiating is such a topic, but it's been so bad today that it honestly feels like pushing a narrative. I feel gross saying that.

 

[dcmissle]

 
Like Baltimore at NE last year?

Exactly. Be careful what you wish for.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Pats have no chance if these picks and holds aren't called next week.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Over.

Ya think?

 

[staz]

Welp, they can lock up the Blade for the offseason now

 

[mikeford]

Hooray, I can shut this dull affair off

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Pray for snow.

 

[riboflav]

Well, on the upside we're going against Fox and Del Rio.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I hope he cries in slow motion now

 

[soxhop411]

I will be pissed if we get these abomonation of a ref crew

 

[twibnotes]

Pats have no chance if these picks and holds aren't called next week.


I wonder if BB and his staff will send tape to the league office

 

[richgedman'sghost]

Thanks man, appreciate it

Don't be so ignorant or lazy. It is easy to find out geeze.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

I wonder if BB and his staff will send tape to the league office

They'd just destroy them.

 

[Stitch01]

Pats obviously have a chance in Denver but would have been better off at home. They were better off last year at home vs Baltimore, just didn't work out.

 

[twibnotes]

I will be pissed if we get these abomonation of a ref crew


Give what went down in Carolina, one would hope the league would keep Clete away from the Pats

 

[dcmissle]

I feel badly for fans who would have attended next week. But our HFA is nothing like Seattle's and neither is Denver's. Just win

 

[Stitch01]

I will be pissed if we get these abomonation of a ref crew

We won't.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Five posters saw the hold by Welker in a matter of seconds as the play was occurring and posted about.  Probably dozens more saw it and didn't post, and thousands, if not millions, of people watching the game on tv saw it.
 
The three refs within 30 feet of the play, whose job it is to see exactly that, all missed it? 
 
I'm so far from a conspiracy theory guy as there is, but I feel like a flag was coming out on that third down play if Denver didn't get a first down no matter what, and two of them came out.  One came out 30 seconds after the play because that ref must not have noticed the other one that already got thrown.  Something just doesn't smell right.

 

[Fishercat]

I wonder if BB and his staff will send tape to the league office

 
Do we lose a first round pick and 750k if that happens?

 

[Average Reds]

Thanks for picking your teeth, John.

 

[SpacemanzGerbil]

Brady? Peyton? Cheerleaders in chaps?
 
Next week will be awesome.
 

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pats have no chance if these picks and holds aren't called next week.

Pats are disciplined and incredibly tough, Denver will not find it so easy next week (and they haven't even been that great against a woeful SD effort today). It will be a dogfight whether or not the refs hand free yards to Denver all night.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Espn and NFL network must be jerking it to Brady vs Manning already.

 

[86spike]

FYI ball is snapped first sound after Omaha.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

That's why he does it.

 

[jsinger121]

I'm pretty sure Serratore is working one of the championship games.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pray for snow.

 
 
We have better offense, defense, and special teams than San Diego.
 
Arguably some better coaching too.

 

[twibnotes]

Thanks for picking your teeth, John.


With Elway's teeth, he must need a jackhammer

 

[johnmd20]

Pats obviously have a chance in Denver but would have been better off at home. They were better off last year at home vs Baltimore, just didn't work out.

 
So you're saying it's better to be home?

 

[Phragle]

Have to go for it

 

[twibnotes]

Gates is a long way from what he used to be

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a horrible game for this entire team.

 

[riboflav]

Pag says punt

 

[Reverend]

Rivers is kinda pissing me off now.

 

[Sportsbstn]
