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

[Dublagent66]

Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that AR will get the MVP.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Aaron Rodgers is a fucking boss!!!

So is Dez Bryant!

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Oh that actually might get reversed via the Megatron rule.

[jammindude]

I'm a bit surprised that it was overturned...I think it was one of those plays that wasn't clear enough to overturn the call no matter what they called. 

[orcus116]

The refs giveth and the refs taketh away.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Getting into Mid-January, and this WR rookie class is still making the case for greatest of all time.

[Dublagent66]

The call was reversed based on the ball hitting the ground.  Bryant never should've tried the stretch his arm forward unless he was certain it would cross the plane of the GL.

Even if he would have gotten the ball across the goaline, it still would have been incomplete.

God damn it. Fucking Cowboys.

Yeah, you're right.  Bryant should've secured the catch at all costs.  Difference in the game.  Also, Packer's defense was better and Rodgers is a genius in recognizing when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it.  Romo held on to the ball for way too long when he did have some open receivers at times.  Hat's off to GB.  They played better.

[yorost]

Yeah, I was calling for a challenge, there. Not sure I like the rule, but it is what it is. If I'm not mistaken, if he had fully extended it might have not been overturned, right? He didn't really seem to extend fully, just brace. Possibly was extending, but wasn't clear.

[snapple]

best shot of the game









also this idiot keeps walking onto the field without a helmet, which is against the rules. please flag this idiot.

Like DoC said, it wouldn't have mattered because it was a pass play and the ball wasn't secured throughout the catch.

That won't draw a flag because it's only a penalty if the helmet is removed during a play on the field.  He did the same thing last week and it wasn't flagged for that reason.

Just watched the play that got reversed and honestly, trying to put aside that I was going for the Cowboys, looks to me like he caught it.
That being said, what's done is done, guess we can expect the Seahawks at the Superbowl which ain't a bad thing after all.

[Dublagent66]

I guess I'm hoping that the Colts can make a run to the SB now.  Luck is the only QB remaining who doesn't have a SB yet.  He's good enough to deserve a SB win but I'm not sure about the team around him.  They may not be quite there yet.

The team around him is definitely not which is a damn shame. Would love to see it happen though!

[King Postwhore]

Yeah, I don't think their defense is good enough yet but Luck will guide then to a SB or 2 no doubt.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Seeing Chuck Pagano win a Super Bowl would by far be the coolest thing that could happen at this point.

It's the rule. The number of steps, that he had it secured, it doesn't matter. If the whole process is going to the ground this rule comes into play. It can look like a catch and legally be incomplete. This is why they sometimes talk about holding that ball all the way till play is dead. If you fall due to making a catch, you have to maintain it.

It looked like he maintained it, he caught it, made a football move, went down and it popped out after he went down, to me that seems like a catch. What's done is done, I'm not here to argue or hissy fit that it didn't go the way I feel it should have... Packers won, there's no changing that.

[Destiny Of Chaos]

The ball hit the ground and popped up in the air. That's it.

[Dark Castle]

And I don't agree with that, but it's all good because the game's over and I'm now hoping the Colts go up against the Seahwaks in the Superbowl 

I also have the Bills picking up Rex Ryan to be happy about

A defensive minded HC for one of the best defenses in the league this year along with Shorts who he has history with? And he's looking to pick up Roman from the 49'ers who seems like a good choice to me? Yeah I'm pretty happy with the new owners today.
The fact that Nathan Hackett and Marrone are gone should be reason enough to be happy lol.

Bills still need to beef up the O-line, and next season is the year where the Bills find out whether EJ is a bust or not, but I don't know, things are only going up for the Bills if you ask me.

[KevShmev]

I hate that rule.  Bryant took 3 steps with possession.  How the blank is that not a catch?  Stupid.  Granted, GB probably comes down and wins or ties it anyway, but still.  That stupid call is now gonna overshadow an all-time great performance by Aaron Rodgers. 

And screw you, John Fox.  He apparently has no clue how to get a team ready to play a playoff game.  The entire team looks flat.  That's on coaching. 

[black_biff_stadler]

They're trailing because Peyton fumbled.

[KevShmev]

And the vaunted Broncos pass rush has been non-existent.

I'm glad to see I'm not alone 
Definitely gotta give major props to Rodgers though.

[black_biff_stadler]

Peyton's definitely perfected the Kaepernick x+10 yards throwing distance formula.

[KevShmev]

It was technically the correct call, but it's a stupid ass rule.

And that was a great sequence...Demaryius drops an easy catch on 2nd down, and Peyton throws an atrocious-looking ball on 3rd down.

I've said this already, and I'll say it again: this could be the end of Peyton Manning.  Since the Rams game, he has looked...not right.  I think Father Time has finally caught him. 

[orcus116]

A lot of penalty calls are pretty stupid. They're getting closer and closer to flag football every year.

Um, I think Kev is not with you. Not liking a rule is not the same as disagreeing with the call. I don't like the rule a whole lot, either.

[KevShmev]

That awful INT is why I say Luck is not as great as Wilson.  You never see Wilson commit turnovers that wretched. 

It's sad to see Peyton go out like this, but it is what it is.  Unless the Colts goof this up badly, they should win and go on to New England next week.

Man, you are on me like a hawk today aren't you? It's fine, the Packers won the game, it's done. Kev said it was the right call but also how in the world do you not call that a catch. It's going to be okay.
