2023-2024 NFL Thread

The ref said that Dan Skipper reported as eligible even though it was actually Taylor Decker and Dan Campbell gave the refs a heads up about the play call in case they used it. I'm actually impressed they managed to screw it up that bad.

I missed the game, but just looking at footage today, man these refs need to never work a game again. Literal game changing screw up that might have playoff seeding implications. Unreal that the standard has come down to this.

It's the same crew that called that late hit on Mahomes when he was still clearly in bounds when they played the Packers. With how badly officiated those 2 games were, I'm sure there have been a lot more. With how little they hold the refs accountable, they will get rewarded with the super bowl.

[Underbottom]

They've already said this crew will not be working any of the post season.

[Kyanion]

They've already said this crew will not be working any of the post season.

Yet they assign them a high profile game which had playoff implications. I would say put them on a game that has little to no playoff implications but this week most of the matchups involve a team in the playoff race still I believe.

They could give this crew Jets/Patriots and maybe they could go a week without ruining the league.

I looked at each game and every single one of them has playoff implications, with at least one team still alive for the playoffs. The closest one to 2 teams that are not in the playoffs would be LA Chargers at Denver but Denver is still alive for the playoffs. That means shit ref crews could wreck a team's playoff seeding or playoff hopes. That sucks.

The damage is already done this week, I was looking at next.

Ugh we're stuck with Greg Olsen.

I am not a fan of Olsen. Says some good stuff sometimes but I dunno, just not my style. But he ain't the worst out there so I'll take it.

Week 17 first opening drive TD of the year.

Haha I know right? I've been aware of that no opening drive TD for a couple months. Just goes to show how much better Payton was at scripting the first 15 plays or so.

Facemask from using the top of the helmet? That's a new one.

I've hated on Juwan Johnson for most of the year but he's a stud today.

Carr gets skittish and sacks himself.

[Kyanion]

So much potential, if he puts it together and stays healthy I'd really love to see what he can turn into.

And then Carr just does a really dumb play and takes a 'sack' by running out of bounds and not throwing the ball away.

Taysom Hill getting the football and good things happen

I see Zappe is making up for his lack of turnovers last week.

[Kyanion]

15-24 on FG attempts and 23-24 on XP attempts for the Pats kicker. Is this 1987?

All Saints today 20-0 in the 4th and they got the ball again. A real shame the Saints could miss the playoffs if the Bucs beat the crappy Panthers next week and the Saints don't get a lot of help for the wild card.

[Grube]

Rams terrible kicker is even worse with extra points. He's only 19/24 on extra points, but he's 15/20 on FGs so not quite as bad as Ryland there.

I thought the Dolphins were the worst 11-4 team because they suck when they play good teams, but the Eagles defense is just as terrible.

[Vetali]

Yeah... not sure who is more fraudy between Eagles and Dolphins. Cardinals winning pushes the Patriots back into 2/3 draft pick?

[Kyanion]

The Giants are killing me. Punt return TD, extra point away from tying the game, flag on the Rams so they go for 2 and then call a great play and the pass was just bad. Need the Giants to win this game to help the Saints chances.

[draynay]

Giants are fucking up so much, I have no clue how they're even still in this game, but the Rams might have just blown it on that QB run.

[Vetali]

Now the Rams calling timeouts??? Bold strategy.

[Kyanion]

Fucking Giants. Lose the game and let the Rams escape with a win.
