Week 15 NFL Gamethread

I meant they were good letting the clock run at the end of the half after the ill advised timeout.
What I want to know is why NFL refs don't have peripheral vision like normal humans. How much time does it take to realize the ball hasn't been hiked yet? The whole thing seems silly to me.
Arians not looking in great health. Would be interesting if they gave the keys to Leftwich for Brady’s (presumably) final season. Also there’s a 100% chance AB is back in a Bucs uniform and we get to see if his bad kharma can tank another team.
Saints have had such a weird season.
Held Rodgers to 3 points. Shutout Brady.
Allowed Daniel Jones to throw for 402 yards in an OT loss.
Allowed the Eagles to rush for 240 yards in a 40-29 loss.

When their front 7 is cooking, their D is just so tough. I also think they REALLY get up for the Bucs games so you don’t always see that intensity.
But, man, they were on tonight.
I realize Bucs were down to their #4 RB and WR but impressive defensive performance by the Saints
85 Bearsish

I'm not a Tua apologist, but he really didn't get a chance to step into that throw. His arm certainly isn't the strongest, but he still threw it 40 yards without him having a full follow through.
The Cam throw? I mean, we spent all last year watching that. How many screens and short throws were off by a mile? The guy has no touch.
You guys are all missing the point. The point is the NFL DOESNT WANT delay flags. They want teams to hurry up and put the ball in play. If it’s close, AT ALL, just let it go.
I'll go with some funky sort of pacemaker.
Or snacks are in there for the three or so hours he's away from a fridge.
This is probably right, but they also shouldn’t want controversy and games decided over whether snaps got off on time. And it’s an easy fix…plus they can jam more State Farm commercials into any breaks for reviews.
I missed the Oweh "roughing the passer" on Rodgers, but Rodgers clearly has a second career in soccer once he's done with football.
The NFL loves controversy, absolutely loves it.
Controversy energizes the aggrieved fanbase and team. It keeps the NFL a hot topic during the relatively slow period between game days. It can last an entire offseason ... then it goes away when a new game, a new week, a new season begins.
Remember the non-PI call that killed the Saints? All that offseason talk fed into the NFL hype machine. And the most the NFL will ever do is send out a midweek or months later statement that says mistakes were made.
If everything in the NFL ran perfectly, was called perfectly by officials, it would dull the passion of a certain percentage of the fans.
It's the control box for his headset. Everyone who doesn't want to look like Vader just puts it on their belt.
With the recent exception of that delay-of-game flag on the Bills vs. the Pats, in the NFL teams typically get about 2 seconds after the play clock hits 0 to snap the ball.
See Ravens, Baltimore against the Lions, Detroit when they were at least two seconds over the clock and there was no call and then Tucker kicked a 66 yard FG a play later to win the game. Bouncing it off the crossbar.
It was one of the more egregious no calls in the NFL this season because it directly led to a loss. But it's the Lions.
This would explain how they draft the rule book! But even the NFL has limits, see replacement refs and that debacle. I would leave the controversy to the judgment calls (PI, holding, control/catch/fumble) and not the silly delay of game stuff.
