The finger thing is intense. mtmuley

Ha...forgot about that.
He was a badass of badasses.

No amount of great play makes up for being a maximun jerk. But that's just me.

If you don't think Deion Sanders is the best to ever play the position, you don't know shit about football. And, the man isn't a "jerk". mtmuley

Wasn't arguing the first statement. I'll stand by the second.

As I settle in to watch tonight's game, in the spare room, I'm wondering if I am the only American watching a 32" tv.

You probably are. I'm watching on a 26" - at least until I switch to watching on my phone.

Bills eagles was fun to watch. 49ers eagles next weekend should be intense!

That non call evens out a roughing the passer penalty Allen got after doing a flop that would have made Vlade Divac blush

Many calls offset other non calls or bs calls. This was flagrant as others. This one is a challenge to support a ref was unable to determine the extent of horse collaring. ESPN reports the same by Prior refs. Is what it is... Nature (and value) of having human refs vs EVERYTHING booth Reff'd w/ black and white running a muck on the field placing balls on the field where a booth review dictates. Hah! Apologist world, that may be in the future of gutless football. As Montana once said, Different world from the days of significant impact hits.

Also seemed like in a few games yesterday Browns Broncos and Bills Eagles, there were left tackle false starts that werent called, but wouldve been called on that KC right tackle guy who i think leads the league

Yeaaaah. Helmet to Helmet on a qb is a penalty NBA flop or not.
The Eagles have had an incredible run of benefiting from penalties/ no calls this year.

The flop i saw involved no helmet to helmet.

Eagles player pushed with only his arms and Allen went flying. Like an eagle.

Maybe ref called it to make up for earlier actual penalty not called

Apparently that call is a thing:

Josh Allen drew a roughing the passer penalty thanks to a wild flop and NFL fans had jokes

The flop deserved an Oscar.

When ya get rode hard with a giant dong up your butt all night long you gotta flop to get a call. Sean Hochuli's crew hates the Bills for some reason. I'm not a ref whiner but that crew really hates buffalo.

It is I can agree but try to win the game with these no calls...

Not a horse collar?https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1728910890416975971?s=20

Not holding?https://x.com/_MLFootball/status/1728939244662804700?s=20

Have you ever tried to catch a ball while someone holds both of your biceps?

Full time refs might help the situation

 

[EYJONAS!]

Full time refs might help the situation

This is mind blowing for me to think about. How are they running a multi billion dollar industry and not having "full-time" refs. What is "full-time" though?

I think in about any sport on the planet one can blame the refs for just about anything. They're human and in real time they make good calls and some extremely shitty calls. The part that they lack the most is consistency. They're not calling shit all game long then BOOM. They come into the game in the 11th hour with a call that totally reverses the flow. That part is what really gets me.

I'm looking forward to Sunday it'll be a good game, I just hope that the players are able to show whose the best without some BS call to away the outcome.

I'm sure can all agree that tonight's (Monday) game, is beyond horrible, regardless of who your favorite team is. This the kind of game that, win or lose, is just a waste of time and money. Firing up the lathe.

Hot potatoes with the football.
