2016 NFL THREAD - Super Bowl 51 - Patriots' Day: V - Screw Goodell

[King Postwhore]

Yup, I heard that.

Btw Kev, late hit there?

[KevShmev]

Btw Kev, late hit there?

Yep, easy call that time.

Meanwhile, Brady in playoff form with two picks now (and should have been three, but Houston dropped it). 

So his career 57  touchdowns playoff form as well?

58, actually.  And 30 INTs. In 32 playoff games.  Not nearly as good as his regular season numbers.

[faizoff]

I think that first late hit should've been called as well, but Brady did whine like a baby then.

[King Postwhore]

All ways expected in the playoffs for obvious reasons.   

And interception.  Thankfully.

[faizoff]

Crazy to be the first player in the playoffs to score a TD in 3 different ways.

Oh Ray Lewis tweeted?

Then in that case, I take it all back. What was I thinking? All hail the mighty fucking Ray Lewis!


What a douchebag!

(not you Kev)

[King Postwhore]

Go make a motivational speech that is incoherent you ass.


And the Pats can't keep a tight end healthy.

[KevShmev]

Ray Lew is definitely a d-bag, but I think his point is: this is football; you are going to get hit; don't whine about it every time.

[King Postwhore]

I've seen him whine before.  Always easy to say that when you are not playing anymore.

[Cool Chris]

Ray Lewis just released another tweet, indicating he gave a misleading statement, and that he was not at the scene for the first tweet.

Awesome!

NE lucky of course that they had ball security issues while playing against Osweiler, different result if playing a good QB. That said, they did what they needed to.

[DragonAttack]

Ray Lewis:  most of us around Bmore tuned him out eons ago.

Moving on....very,very impressed with the Atlanta offense yesterday.  I know they had put up good numbers, but not against great teams.  They'll do well next week.

[KevShmev]

Yep.  It's crazy to look at the starting quarterbacks of the teams they have beaten this season:

Carson Palmer
Ryan Tannehill
Brock Osweiler
Cody Kessler
Andy Dalton
Landry Jones
Tyrod Taylor
Colin Kaepernick
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Jared Goff
Joe Flacco
Trevor Siemian
Bryce Petty
Matt Moore
Brock Osweiler

Everybody going in on Ray Lewis for saying what every football fan (save some Pats fans) was thinking. Good call y'all.

[KevShmev]

Sports fans are defensive about their team by nature anyway, and their cheating scandals have made the Patriots fans dig in even more when anyone criticizes them for anything, so I am not surprised that NE fans all over the internet are blowing a gasket over what Ray Lewis tweeted.

[King Postwhore]

The reason we respond is that we've seen first hand Ray go to the refs and cry.  It's funny to read Earl Thomas tweet as well when his division is worse than the AFC East.

Players need to shut their pie holes when they can be called out for the hypocrisy.

[KevShmev]

Yes, but all crying isn't the same.   Like I said last night, when Brady bitches to the officials, he literally looks like a child having a tantrum.  I get it, he is the golden boy and is used to being protected more than any QB ever, so when he doesn't get a call, he has to be thinking, "What happened, guys?"  And the tantrum comes out.

[King Postwhore]

He does

I blame the league for these rules on the QB'S.  Now when a player is a few seconds later with a hit after a throw all the QB'S not complain.

BTW,  did you guys see the ice on the seats at the Chief's stadium?  Holy cow!!

[KevShmev]

I didn't, but I'm not surprised. That ice storm has hit pretty much all of Missouri since Friday morning (although where I am in St. Louis didn't get it as bad as we were supposed to), hence the game getting pushed back to tonight. 

Back to the complaining, WRs complaining about calls is far worse.  I get that they are working the officials for PI flags, but it's get tiresome seeing every WR throw up his arms for a flag nearly every time a DB makes a good play.

[King Postwhore]

The more the league make rules to get more offense, the more crying we will see in every game.  Offensive players look for any touch and throw a his system fit.

As fans, watching these replays in slow motion, high def makes us crybabies as well.  The old days were a lot easier to watch games.

This is by far my biggest complaint as far as on-field play goes.

[TAC]

Yes, but all crying isn't the same.   Like I said last night, when Brady bitches to the officials, he literally looks like a child having a tantrum.  I get it, he is the golden boy and is used to being protected more than any QB ever, so when he doesn't get a call, he has to be thinking, "What happened, guys?"  And the tantrum comes out.

I'll say this. It is funny to watch Brady throw a tantrum. He does look like a ten y/o. 

But if anything the last two years have shown us, is that he is most definitely NOT the league's golden boy. 

[pogoowner]

Speaking of whining to the officials, did anyone else see this? Officials call DPI 50% more often when they're on the offensive team's sideline.

[King Postwhore]

You know the coaches and players know this too.

[RoeDent]

So...how is everyone filling the void? First Sunday with no NFL at 1pm ET since early September.

[Dream Team]

If that wasn't defensive holding, nothing is.

But it ends up moot, cause Rodgers is just stupid right now.

[RoeDent]

This has "controversial, game changing officiating decision" written all over it.

[KevShmev]

Early on, Dallas's D is no match for Rodgers and the Packers offense.

[King Postwhore]

Rodgers is on fire.

[KevShmev]

I love how GB has no fear now of having Rodgers drop back to throw on nearly every down. 

[King Postwhore]

And seemingly someone is open getting 6 yards or better every throw.

[KevShmev]

A total mismatch thus far.

[Dream Team]

I can't stand conservatism, and it makes no sense against Rodgers. Why not go for 2 there to make it a 10 point game? If you miss, you're down 2 touchdowns either way.

[KevShmev]

Too easy to start chasing the points.

Meanwhile, Dallas is getting away with all kinds of holds on Gb WRs.
