NFL Playoffs - Divisional Round game thread

[heavyde050]

The refs are a complete joke.

 

[Bergs]

Johnson is terrible.

 

[heavyde050]

Nice drop by Johnson.

 

[CFB_Rules]

Jesus, taunting has got to be reconsidered this off-season. Utterly fucking ridiculous.

The foul on Brady wasn’t taunting, it was a garden variety UNS

 

[yecul]

Ref-ball is stupid and boring. These guys need to get their act together

 

[Ale Xander]

Johnson is terrible.

Johnson coming up small

 

[McBride11]

Ok. So what was this drive

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This officiating crew is pretty bad

That's the case whenever a Cockuli is involved.

Oy, he succ'd it up.

 

[speedracer]

that FG had to be tipped at the line?

 

[Marciano490]

When Tom Brady bleeds it's a penalty on Tom Brady.

The spice mélange!

Big miss there

 

[worm0082]

First unsportsmanlike penalty of Bradys career

 

[BigSoxFan]

I may have considered going for it there

 

[E5 Yaz]

Hoculi the father made himself part of the game because of the guns and manner.

The son just wants the camera

 

[AlNipper49]

that FG had to be tipped at the line?

It looked like it to me, but I’m too lazy to rewind

 

[aksoxfan]

Refs killed that drive with their law and order righteousness.

 

[shawnrbu]

First unsportsmanlike penalty of Bradys career

Never would have happened under Belichick. Such a selfish penalty.

 

[Ale Xander]

TB not going to worry until the Rams get 29

 

[Omar's Wacky Neighbor]

"First ever in his career"

Provided you don't really put that much weight on that whole Deflategate thing.

 

[johnmd20]

Just a horrible sequence. These refs are a joke.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Didn't Hoculi call out taunting? Maybe I mis-heard. The rule, or the criteria for calling, needs to be reviewed in any event.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Honestly over the playoffs I thought they just stopped calling that BS. This is the first game it seems to have come back.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Don’t think the kick was tipped

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Those penalties where a guy gets a penalty for getting angry about a blown call always feel really unfair. Happens in the NBA the most. Insult to injury calls.

The ref probably needs ear muffs there and just to let Brady get it out of his system but I think because they had called two penalties on the Bucs earlier probably made it harder.

 

[Gash Prex]

Yep - Brady was just talking about how he gets away with unsportsmanlike penalities this week - of course I’m sure it was mostly tongue and check but it can’t be a coincidence

Mahomes reference!

He was flagged for magic words directed at an official. That will never be changed.

 

[shawnrbu]

Mahomesian.

 

[JOBU]

TB needs a stop and put up 7 before the half here

 

[Ed Hillel]

Nice move, though Tampa had 2 defenders on 3 WR to the right.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

He was flagged for magic words directed at an official. That will never be changed.

I have seen coaches drop ten f bombs a second against refs. Is it different for players?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Rams get ball to start 2nd too. This is almost over if they convert here

 

[cornwalls@6]

Ah, the crash from bull durham offense. Gotcha.

 

[Ed Hillel]

He’s gonna fumble one of those pump fakes

 

[TFisNEXT]

Yeah TB needs a stop here right now. Rams getting the ball to start the 3rd makes it more urgent.

 

[jsinger121]

Big conversion

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Mahomes reference!

Is a sidearm throw that looks great coming out of the QBs hands but ultimately falls short of its goal a Stantonian Mahomesian throw?

 

[CFB_Rules]

Profanity is fine. The magic word is “you”.

 

[E5 Yaz]

No almost about it

 

[BigSoxFan]

All the talk will focus on Brady but Stafford has been awesome

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT HEEM!

 

[Marciano490]

OBJ does everything right, said one person ever.

 

[heavyde050]

All the talk will focus on Brady but Stafford has been awesome

Stafford has been really good. But that TD to Kupp was a broken play and he did throw what should have been an interception in the end zone. This isn't Allen vs the Pats. But Stafford has been really good so far.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That shit was Mahomesian

 

[twibnotes]

Tampa’s tackling has been very poor

 

[E5 Yaz]

So many defenders dive in that circumstance, giving the receiver an easier chance to evade

 

[heavyde050]

Tampa’s tackling has been very poor

Yeah, Kupp is awesome, but that was really poor tackling.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Rams pushing the play clock every play. Feels like their success rate on a play goes way up when they break the huddle with enough time to let Stafford see the defense.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Rams very clever not to take a 21-3 halftime lead on Brady in the playoffs.

 

[Ale Xander]

If the Rams score the next touchdown I definitely would NOT go for 2.
