NFL thread 2014 v. Frankford Yellow Jackets Lay the Pipe on the Dayton Triangles

[jingle.boy]

Dallas defense is atrocious.  Give em some GPS so they know where the fuck they are on the field.

They're making NYG look like SB contenders again.  I don't mind a shootout though.

[KevShmev]

I've never seen a better catch than that one by Beckham.  I still can't believe it.

[jingle.boy]

Seriously!!!  Love the replay they show where he caught it - no, SQUEEZED it - with three fuckin fingers!?!?!?!

[The Trooper]

He made a similar catch last year in college in the Outback bowl with LSU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92rauLT3enE

And, Eli's back. 

[The Trooper]

yep my Giants are gonna blow this one faster than a 3 dollar hooker

[jingle.boy]

Wow.... if you've got 7 seconds to find a receiver, you better find an open one.  The O-line got Dallas that touchdown

Still enough time for Manning to get into field goal range though.  Should be an exciting finish.

[KevShmev]

Romo never gets enough credit.  The guy has the most 4th/OT comebacks since 2006.  That says a lot.  Yeah, his O-Line was sick on that last drive, but Romo still made the throws.

[El Barto]

Christ, when your offensive line can play like that you almost have to try to lose. Watching them keep a ring of free space around Romo on that final drive was a treat.

Oh wait, I forgot... it was Eli Manning.  He made some very bad throws all night long, and that 3rd down throw on the final drive was pretty bad.

Yeah... Romo doesn't get enough credit for making Dallas what they are.  He threw a couple of wounded ducks in the first half, but made the throws he needed to.  Eli did not.

That catch was unbelievable.

[yorost]

I know that jersey tug was called for defensive pass interference, but the more they show the replay the more I keep thinking it looks like it could have been called offensive pass interference. Sure looks like he only had one hand to catch the ball because he was pushing the defender behind him with the other. Without that jockeying for position by Beckham there might not have been pass interference by the defender. Defender went from playing the ball in good position to flying off balance behind Beckham. Not saying it wasn't an amazing catch, but I'd love to hear an evaluation of of the play from a rules expert.

[black_biff_stadler]

I'm sure we'll get a nice company line from Mike Pereira at some point.

From what I can tell there was a rules change this season that simply means whatever it looks like at first glance is how it should be called. The only thing I can say about that call was that flags came in from all directions, so 3 different refs had an opportunity to pass that off onto the receiver and didn't. In a general sense I keep seeing tons of calls where there's contact that's called despite having no affect whatsoever on the other player. Hell, you can't even put your arm on a back to maintain position anymore without a flag coming out.

[Dream Team]

I'm 13-0 so far this week in a pick 'em pool. Have the Bills and Saints tonight; I've never had a perfect week in 20+ years and it would be nice to have one.

Good luck.  Ballsy to take Oakland, but every other matchup pretty much went the way it should've.  No other real huge surprises this week (unlike last week).

I have no idea what it is by the rulebooks...  That jersey tug is clear defensive pass interference that usually makes an easy call for refs. Easy call if that's all there is, or maybe it's an easy call no matter what. The problem is that it only seemed to happen as a reaction to what seems should have been offensive pass interference. That defender looked to have an int or defended pass until Beckham hooked him out of the play.

Yeah, Oakland was the oddball. I wouldn't say the rest of them went as they should, but there wasn't much room for any real surprises. Tonight's games are problematic, though. I've got zero confidence in either picks.

[El Barto]

If I'm Rex Ryan, and assuming I didn't kiss the gun 6 weeks ago, Dog Killer watches the second half from the team bus. I mean, can Matt Simms really do any worse?

[El Barto]

Christ, at this point maybe they should just drown him. Put the boy out of his misery.

[jammindude]

WOW....   How do you look at that on review and say he caught that pass??   The Ravens were just completely screwed...

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Two bogus, drive extending penalties and now that....... Referees have been terrible tonight.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

The Ravens win... improve to 7-4... good for last place.
The Saints lose..... fall to 4-7... good for first place.

Got to love that thread title hijack karma.

[black_biff_stadler]

Karma? I called the loss right after the pick 6 iirc.

Good for you.

Now make the thread title about New England, Odell, Buffalo or something else relevant.

[RoeDent]

I know I'm late to the party, but WHAT A CATCH! How is that even possible? One of those where people can just say "That Catch" and you know what they're talking about.

So, after a win, you're this needlessly concerned over the subtitle of a thread? Good for you.

well, how 'bout the rest of us then, that have to see something about the Saints everytime we head into this thread.  It'd be like Nick Making the NHL thread titles all about the Flyers.

Spread the wealth dude.  There are 31 other teams.

[snapple]

If I can make the 2013 thread about the Red Sox winning the WS, you should be able to do anything you put your mind to.

Nah, I'll still think of the pass from Montana to Clark.  Not some rookie punk with stickem on his gloves.

These guys get it. Why don't you?

It's a fucking thread title, who gives a shit what it is?
