Week 6 NFL Game Thread

I always wonder why teams don't put TEs or big WRs back there more often when defending the Hail Mary, like we used to do with Gronk.
Lazard is 6'5 and Buffalo doesn't have a DB taller than 6'2. But they've got at least four WRs or TEs that are 6'4, used to going up for jump balls, and all sitting on the sideline.
Bill was talking about this but it was kind of a tough spot for the defense. There were 8 seconds left so a Hail Mary wasn’t guaranteed. The Jets had enough time to run a quick out then try a long FG. He said if he was coaching he would’ve had two plays called, a Hail Mary and a triple out and then let the defense dictate which one they run.
Wonder if that played into the personnel on the field.
Just an awful, joke of a call. Do these mealy mouth tv officiating commentators ever do anything but tout the party line?
Free 3pts but Breece needed to score in the open field. Can’t get pushed out by a guy smaller than you. Take him on
Throw in crushing injuries and it has become more difficult to watch each year ... and yet, here we are
The officiating is now at catastrophic levels of bad, but as long as pathetic junkies like me keep coming back it will never be addressed. It’s a badly diminished product now.
I doubt we could find it but I’m pretty sure if we could dig up football game threads from 2004 we’d see the same kind of “officiating has never been worse!” Posts. Hell I’m sure I made some.
The league began its inexorable slide downward when Goodell replaced Tagliabue in 2007.
I think the only way they've kept us hooked is by, in the playoffs, mostly swallowing their whistles and by establishing habitual viewing tendencies in the regular season.
20 years ago they played NFL football. Then Bill Polian cried. It's been downhill since then.
It ain't the same game anymore. For good (players health) and bad.
