You’re familiar with the Chargers in big games, yes?
It feels like everyone forgets and is taking this game seriously.
It is the Chargers, folks.
Good luck. We saw what happened after they made PI reviewable. The refs sabotaged it and forced the NFL to scrap that change
It is already the rule though. It is just administered in a very fucked up way. Either call it or abandon it.
Im surprised by your choice. I would not think the Bills would be your preference. Their pass D can give Mac problems moreso than the other options.
I agree. They could lose in Cincinnati as well, but Buffalo is a tough match for them
Patriots ain’t winning the Super Bowl.
Taking out the Bills wouldn’t be quite as satisfying as the Red Sox taking out the Yankees this year but same principle.
I guess getting a more winnable game increases the odds of getting Mac a little bit more experience. But there is more potential upside in playing the Bills for a team that is not going to win 4 in a row any way.
The thing I always find weird about catchabilty on PI is that the same standard isn’t applied to holding on runs. A hold is a hold, even if the runner is on the other side of the field, running through a hole that isn’t the result of an infraction. So you’d think PI would act in the same way.
I actually don’t think this is true re: offensive holding. If a hold occurs away from the so called ‘point of attack’ and not on the line, eg, a Wr on the opposite end of the field behind the play, it isn’t considered holding.
It just feels to me as though refs have abdicated catchability with the blessing of the league. Which is fine. If the idea is that there is too much subjectivity in reffing as it is and we can’t ask them to judge it, fine. That is a valid position.
The problem though is they should make it official. And if they do I think the question whether the penalty for pi is too severe should be up for debate.
Can’t believe NBC is getting that horrible Chiefs/Steelers game for SNF. That’s the worst game of Super Wild Card Weekend.
Pats can hang with anyone in the AFC, I think. They could also be 1 and done. I would go for the favorable matchups. It’s going to be who it’s going to be but I am interested in the psychology of who people want and why.
That 4th down call is one of the dumbest I have ever seen.
That's after seeing the Giants 3rd and 9 QB sneak earlier today.
