You're okay with being inept. It's like the title of your book. :lmao

[Millennial_Messiah]

Oh right that was last week
now I just want Garrett and/or jerruh fired

Iirc it’s a negligible number if they charge one at all. The other option is doing it in crypto which they don’t charge for at all.

They make their money because they gobble up public money betting on favorites at shitty odds.

I'll have to think about doing it. I've been avoiding online cos I don't want to get overly addicted or have it too easy to lose money; but I'll give it some thought.

yeah, that's why I only use play money when doing these things

sort of like my old addiction in high school to Zynga poker, but not for real money

49ers fans travel probably the best in the NFL, maybe even more than Cowboys fans.

Week 1 2014... Cowboys stadium... 1st quarter red tide tsunami.

I tried a sports betting fake money app for practice, but I didn't like the app and stopped using it.

It had like every sport practically, but it was just not very user friendly. Maybe if I found the right app.

perfect time for the raiders bye with how banged up they are... and good vibes coming off b2b wins.

pulling for houston, pittsburgh, seattle, new orleans to help us in the standings. broncos beating titans is actually probably better for us too
:wow

[Millennial_Messiah]

:wow

good week for oakland, also they got a super rare win against a quality NFC team so that will be worth its weight in gold later on.

a non-conference win isn't worth much of anything. raiders are @ green bay and @ houston next 2 weeks. if they can steal one of those games, that's when i'll take them seriously re: wildcard picture

right now buffalo is 4-1 and in the driver seed for top WC spot. otherwise the raiders and colts are 3-2 (raiders beat them heads up), and then you have a bunch of 2-4 teams, who we have a 1.5 game lead on. if we drop both of the next 2 games, a good amount of those teams pass us

hopefully houston beats indy next week and takes the drivers seat in the AFC-S

I don't take Buffalo seriously at all. Sure they have 2 easy wins against Miami left and a loss against the Patriots and all of a sudden the Jets might not be such a cupcake anymore. They've won by default against the very bottom of the league so far this year and not in convincing fashion, either. They don't have even a passable QB on that roster, and the OL is trash too.

Lions could be essentially eliminated tonight considering the stacked nature of the NFC.

[JasonGarrett]

how we doin guys!?

last night i thought we battled...i thought we battled....i thought we fought hard....fought hard....

but at the end of the day we ran into a good football team....and you have to tip your cap...and look at the tape....you have to simultaneously tip your cap and look at the tape.....

it's pretty simple guys...The New York Football Jets are a damn good football team....and they've been a good football team in the National Football League for a long football time....

You don't win zero games in a row without being a good football team...not only a good football team but a good football team in all three areas....and i thought we did that tonight...

Good morning!

[spurraider21]

prater is cold as ice

We can all see the end of this one coming tbh

[spurraider21]

2 phantom calls on the same guy... thats rough. lions got jobbed

[benefactor]

Those hands to the face calls were tough. As bad as the refs have been this season those calls have to be hard live action, especially with that hand up around the neck and his head going back. I'd be pissed too if I was Lions fan, but it's hard for me to judge too much when I have multiple camera angles and they have line of sight.

its one thing when refs miss a call and dont throw the flag. when they affirmatively make a call that turns out to be a phantom call, that means they didnt actually see it and just thought "oh, based on how the players reacted, it must have been a penalty"

same shit with the bullshit unnecessary roughness penalty they called on the allison hit. they only threw the flag because he stayed down

[spurraider21]

you cant throw a flag because they guys hands were around the guys face and therefore you assume that at some point he hit him in the face. thats what the refs did both times.

[Bynumite]

Easily the worst officiated game i've seen in a long time. Awful calls all night long favoring the Packers.

[MultiTroll]

The no pass interference call was more impactful.

Thought those were reviewable this season/

i thought the lions got away with one of the kerryon fumble/no catch thing, but otherwise yeah, very heavy skew towards GB

[spurraider21]

shoulda challenged it. they didnt. i dont think that was in the final 2 minutes, was it?

[benefactor]

Coaches are starting to figure out that challenging pass interference is useless. The refs just aren't overturning them. It seems like they are taking the whole situation personally and digging in their heels.

the refs on the field dont even make the call anymore, the league office is involved in the decision making. and they're still fucking it up. word is the VP of officiating, alberto riveron, a former ref, is just absurdly pro ref and hates the new pass interference replay rule, and as a result is very reluctant to overturn them.

https://operations.nfl.com/the-officials/these-officials-are-really-good/nfl-instant-replay-process/

[spurraider21]

my understanding though is that PI reviews are held to an even higher standard, its has to be "clear and obvious" and only the most blatant shit like we saw in the rams/saints game. and to a degree, i get that because PI calls are often a judgment call. every play has some hand-fighting and jostling, but the refs throw the flag when the contact actually interfered with the receivers ability to make a play on the ball. but yeah im sure on a replay you can see a moment where the db's hand glanced off the receivers arm

but then the optics are terrible when they show the fan 5 different replays from different angles in slow motion and we see a call that might not meet the "clear and obvious" standard and they leave the call on the field.

- i think they just gotta expedite the process and have the guys from NY just buzz the refs on the field, instead of going through the drawn out 2-3 minute process on those calls. at least with respect to the PI stuff

- they need to scale back on every holding/hands to face penalty when the illegal maneuver didnt have any impact on a play. if the right tackle holds a guy for a split second when the running back is 10 yards down the field on the left side of the line, dont call it. the hold didnt have any impact on the outcome of the play, but the flag does.

- they gotta figure out what to do about "defenseless" receivers who are actively trying to catch a ball. defenders have to be able to try to break up the pass... but the league isn't allowing that when the receiver is trying to make a diving catch

- the roughing the passer stuff shouldnt be when a defenders palm lightly grazes the helmet of the qb. also the "landing with your body weight" thing is just horrendously enforced. this is the type of play where that should be called, not when a guy is just making a form tackle that results in some form of contact on the ground

the ending of the MNF was just complete bogus, blatant and flagrant home cooking all the way

:lol

I think they're numb by this point.

0 rings, 7,183 chokejobs, 155 games lost by the referees, a handful lost on a Hail Mary, Sanders and Megatron retiring in their prime, Turkeys of Turkey Day, etc

[Millennial_Messiah]

But seriously, on those critical late game 3rd down type plays, they really need to do like the old-school NBA (before the days of Elian Curry) and lean towards no-call, let the players play unless it is something blatant and obvious like the Tommy Lee Lewis play, but automatic first downs? Don't call something that can't be reviewed or challenged unless it's clear and obvious.

I wonder if the refs and league were pissed that Jamaal Williams took a knee instead of scoring, tbh, since the spread was Packers -3.5.

[Millennial_Messiah]

or maybe it's just The Curse Of The Tie, tbh. Last handful of years the teams that suffered an early season tie ended up missing the playoffs, often by a game or so or the season simply spiraled out of control

[BD24]

Refs were pretty bad last night. Hard to say how the game would have turned out, but the officiating definitely didn’t help the lions chances

specifically the two hands to the face calls. Those were real bad and game changers. I think the ref was ass hurt that he got yelled at after the first one and wanted to show the player who was boss on the second one tbh

[Mark Celibate]

Me reading this thread: “Didn’t see the game, but I bet it was the Lions who got screwed as usual”

Bad calls happen. Let’s say that second one isn’t called though. Packers kick a fg to take the lead. Lions have about 51 seconds to go down the field and get a fg with no timeouts. Maybe they do, but there is no guarantee they get that fg to win.

so not sure what is so hysterical about that statement tbh. I admitted the officiating was pretty poor and obviously effected their chances to win. To say they would have won for sure without those calls is kind of silly though

how about the first one that was the same exact wrong call which extended a drive. would have been 4th and 10 from about midfield. score was 22-13. 3 plays later, packers touchdown. combine it with the second one which shaved any opportunity the lions would have had to march down for a field goal with a red hot kicker who had drilled 2 50+ yard kicks.

yeah after watching the replay, I think that's exactly what happened. Ref had a smug look on his face like he found some cheap tactic that the guy was getting away with, except the commentator mentioned he had NEVER gotten called for that penalty. disgusting tbh.

benefactor is right, seems like refs these days are just out to find something on every play. like they get paid for every flag they throw.
