2022 NFL Thread (Chiefs win Super Bowl 57)

[KevShmev]

Commenting on something means it is in our heads?  Let's get real.

[King Postwhore]

Actually yes. Not that I have a horse in this race with Tampa but he dominated for 2 decades and it bothers so many.

It's like none of you get that superstars get preferential treatment.   So to see the outrage online is hilarious. To mecits funny how most respond. They take it so personally and respond poorly to a player.

To me, he's grating on fans.

[TheCountOfNYC]

It’s more than the superstar getting preferential treatment. Obviously that happens in all sports. It’s how Brady carries himself that infuriates me. You never saw Peyton Manning throwing shit on the sideline when things weren’t going his way. Sure he may have had some heated conversations, but there were no temper tantrums. Tom Brady acts like a child when he doesn’t get his way, and when you’re a fan who has watched him get his way constantly, especially if you grew up a fan of the Bills, Dolphins, or Jets in the 2000’s and 2010’s, you grow tired of him crying his way to victory.

[KevShmev]

Yep, he is the MJ of football: great player, miserable human being.  As noted before, he has shown his ass since leaving NE.

Oops, I just commented on him again. That must mean he is in my head. 

[King Postwhore]

It's funny. You guys hated him when he didn't act this way in N.E. Not that he's away from Belichick and his discipline,  you are all over it. So it really isn't how he acts buy your tired of his winning.

When is this guy going to retire?! 

You don't have to admit it. I read it first hand.

[The Realm]

NFL officiating is such a joke at this point. And what a shock that TB12 is the beneficiary yet again.

That was an awful call.

The funniest part was that not only did Brady got a bogus roughing the passer call in his favor, but he threw his foot up and tried to kick the guy who sacked him (clear unsportsmanlike) and that was perfectly okay. 

Seems like every NFL talking head/analyst is railing on Twitter today about awful that call is, but I am sure the NFL will ignore it and while laughing and counting their money while their overall product continues to decline.

That call was horrendous. From how I saw it, the DE actually tried to tackle him to the ground 'gently' instead of putting all his force into it. And what if Brady actually connected with his kick into the air. What a joke.

[ProfessorPeart]

Jerome 'Booger' is easily the worst ref in the NFL right now. How he regularly got high-end games is crazy to me. He's been at the center of 2 ridiculous roughing calls this year already.

[Stadler]

It absolutely baffles me that in "America", greatness is so readily and steadily scorned.  At that level, you do what you have to do to win.   So what Brady cried at the call? He got it, and his team won.  What do you expect him to do?  "Oh, no, ref, you really blew that one; you should give them the sack and we'll turn the ball over.  Give them a chance to continue their comeback and maybe win the game."  GTFO.   He - and Belichick - have always done what they had to do to win.  Sure it was a bad call; that's on the ref, though, not Brady. He didn't make anyone do something they didn't want to do.  Yeah, not really a fan of the kick; at the angle I saw it looked like it should be a penalty too, but again, it wasn't.

On a positive note, the Pats looked good; held Detroit to what, 0-for-6 on 4th downs?  Matthew Judon is a beast. 

Also, Cooper Rush is the GOAT. He's never lost a start.  Not even the great Tom Brady, or Johnny Unitas did that. 

[Deathless]

Matt Rhule is gone in Carolina. Thank god.

The rebuilding effort will still be a challenge. Rookie QB is hurt, too many bad QB trades there. Defense should be really good moving forward but who knows which direction Tepper goes...

[hefdaddy42]

Sorry, Hef.  *hugs*

Nah, it's cool.  You got our coach fired, so thank you!

The Brady roughing call was probably only the 3rd worst I saw yesterday. It's the one that matters because it's Brady, though. Nobody's talking about how the refs are coddling the great Jarred Goff.   

Roughing the passer has become far too difficult to avoid, though. I don't like the call{s}, but they are what they are. 

I picked NE yesterday because they had improved every single week of the season. Yesterday was the first time I didn't see any improvement from the week before, but that likely has more to do with McCorkle being out. The D still looks very good. Having Jacobi Meyers back definitely helps. Davante Adams drawing a flag every time he's thrown to is quite a boon. Jack Jones is looking like a badass. Biggest issues I'm seeing right now are Isiah Wynn and Nelson Agholor. Nelson at least has some moments here and there, but overall they're both liabilities when they're on the field.

[King Postwhore]

Just heard El Barto that Agholor played 7% of the snaps yesterday. He grabbed his hamstring so he may be week to week. The Thornton kid was in 42% of the snaps.  49% for for Parker and 54% for Bourne.

Is it just me, or are they one of the better tackling teams in the league?   There were about three or four really nice, open-field, one-on-one tackles that shut down what could have been big plays.

[El Barto]

Wasn't it Agholor that coughed up that pick?

I think it might just look that way because of how absolutely awful they were last year.    They're definitely majorly improved, and I saw some good open field tackling yesterday. Over the course of the season I've seen some sloppy tackles, too, though. Still, big improvement from last year.

[King Postwhore]

Yes it was.

[DragonAttack]

Brady and the penalty:  wow, what BS!  How else is one supposed to tackle the QB?  And good ol' Tom's leg kick....certainly reminded me of this bush league play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiKrSVLYujY

against Ed Reed of all people....a player that both Tom and Bill mentioned in an interview as being the smartest player they ever faced.

Saving grace....the Ravens winning that game in Foxborough and moving on to beat the 'Niners in the SB.

[El Barto]

Yes it was.

I'd love to see Thornton get Agholor's snaps during practice this week.

[King Postwhore]

I'd bet he will. Myers was sorely missed. So damn reliable. Gets open.  Doesn't drop passes. Knows to get a 1st down. He does everything the right way.

[KevShmev]

I forgot about that play, but just more proof that Brady has always been a little bitch.

Careful, though, you talking about him in a negative way at all means he is in your head!!! 

[King Postwhore]

I'll send you personal pictures I took of Brady.

[KevShmev]

Mahomes hit after the pass and pushed hard to the ground.  No flag.

BUT ALL SUPERSTARS GET PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

[King Postwhore]

I'm not watching. Brady isn't on. 

[TAC]

Mahomes hit after the pass and pushed hard to the ground.  No flag.

Didn't realize Stadler was an NFL Ref.

[TAC]

How do the Raiders even allow Kelce off the line at the goal line?

[King Postwhore]

No other bad roughing the passer calls you say?  Lololol

[The Realm]

That was worse than the Brady call. Just horrendous. I hate the Chiefs though so there is that! haha

[TAC]

I missed it. I think I was DTFing when whatever happened.

[TAC]

That kick was legit!

[KevShmev]

I didn't see it as I had to run a few errands, but just saw it. That was actually worse than yesterday's roughing call on Bitch Boy Brady.  The NFL has officially jumped the shark.  I can't take the league seriously anymore.

[TAC]

[DragonAttack]

Mahomes trips, falls, gets up…and then is legitimately tackled and sacked at the LV 12 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter…much worse than Brady yesterday. No flag!

Why? Because it simply a good tackle. Didn’t see Patrick whine or try to kick Perriman afterwards

[KevShmev]

Josh McDaniels is now 6-21 in his last 27 games as an NFL head coach.

[ProfessorPeart]

Why someone gave Hoodie Jr another shot at being a head coach is beyond me. He'll be back on the Pats sidelines next year, most likely.

Feel bad for the team, they deserve a real head coach.

[Skeever]

Great win by the Jets yesterday. Not feeling too good about winning against another team's 3rd String QB (and I hope Teddy is OK - I've always liked him, and he seems like a class act), but I'll take scoring 40 points against that Miami Dolphins.

Anyway.... Guess what. I took a look at the Monday Night Football schedule for next week, and who do we have but the Charges and the effin Broncos. The Broncos and Russel Wilson are going to be the most hated team/player in the league by the end of the season (which is saying something, since Brady's still in the league).

[Dream Team]

Great comeback last night. After watching the game I realized Chris Jones has been the #1 recipient of terrible flags. Never forget the nothing-the-passer against Brady (of course) in 2018 which cost the Chiefs the AFC Championship; then the taunting call against the Colts a couple weeks ago which gave them their only loss, and then last night. I'm probably wrong but I can't recall this happening to another player so often in such egregious fashion but I suppose it's recency bias.

As to what DragonAttack just posted, yes there's a reason why Pat never reacts that way - he's not a whiny bitch.
