Bartimaeus Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 The refereeing is inconsistent, period. I don't know if there needs to be more of them on the field in different locations, or better trained, or they need to be able to review plays to make sure of penalties (and penalties should be challengable), or... All I know is that they seem to miss or miscall at least a few pretty blatant things pretty much almost every game. Sometimes it's WRs committing passing interference, sometimes it's DBs blatantly interfering, offensive linemen holding, late hits... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

the_dog_days Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) It's become more and more prevalent in resent years for wide receivers to push off the back of a DB to slow their own momentum to catch jump balls. In retaliation, many DBs try to reach out to gab onto the wideouts in order to maintain the spot they had been previously occupying and get called for pass interference. I almost never see a WR get called for doing this (when there is no retaliation) when it is, by both the letter and spirit of the rule, offensive pass interference.

the_dog_days Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 As a Jets fan, I approve this message.
Guard Dog Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 The NFL is definitely trending towards ugly uniforms. Not as bad as the NCAA, but bad. But watching the Jets & Bills play in what looked like footie pajamas last night was just brutal on the eyes. It doesn't help the game was a stinker anyway but those were the worst, Worst. Looking. Uniforms. Ever. I didn't think it was possible to out-ugly the Steelers throwbacks but they found a way.

Bartimaeus Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Ha! When I first saw them, my reaction was, "They look like pajamas!"...but nobody else agreed with me. I couldn't pin down exactly why, but it just seemed that way to me. Â They were also hilariously bad for red/green color-blind people: you literally could not tell the two teams apart.

Enoch Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Fashion!  But, yeah, with how common red-green color-blindness is, it's kind of shocking that the NFL didn't see this one coming. Ironically enough, the League's longstanding rule that required one (and only one) team in each game to wear white stemmed from a similar issue-- so that people with black & white TVs could follow the action. 1

Gromnir Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 am knowing that green bay has been hit hard by injuries, but the packers were similarly snake-bit earlier in the year. Â am admitted shocked at the speed with which the packers has gone from a nfc favorite to play in the super bowl to... whatever they are today. Â minnesota looks like the class o' the nfc north, not that such is saying much. Â however, while the vikings defense is getting less press than they should considering the excellent job they has done this far, they too are 1 injury away from disaster-- their lb corps has been hit hard. Â wacky year o' football, and so many teams is defined by their injury report as 'posed to actual play on the field. Â HA! Good Fun!

Volourn Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 So Peyton was injured... if so, why the hell was he playing? Seriously, that team tries its best to sabatoage him. First with the demeaning a near 40 year old QB to change how he plays to having him play when injured (yeah I'm sure he wanted to play) though).

Volourn Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Setting them up for the SB. <> Just like the last time. L0L   But, yeah, that was annoying.  Espicially since they had both an INT and a sack lost on the last drive. Not to mention the dropped TD recpetion by Beckham.  5-5. And, we can easily be 9-1. Only game we were flatly outplayed in was PHI but even then we had a great start then lost our way.  Make the playoffs then it is ours. We showed today we can play with 'the best' just as I predicted.

Gromnir Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 Broncos are giving their all to turn last week's loss into a streak qb troubles aside, am surprised at the problems the broncos have had on defense the past couple weeks.  on the positive side, the broncos are facing the bears next week, and the bears, in spite o' their win against the rams, is depleted along both the d-line and o-line as well as at rb and wr... and alshon jefferies, arguably the bears best offensive weapon, is playing injured.   *shrug*  titans, jags, lions, browns, 49r's and bears is, in our opinion, the worst teams in the nfl as o' today... with chargers right on the bubble.  broncos got seven wins and two games 'gainst chargers and one 'gainst bears on their remaining schedule.  even with manning healthy, games vs. cincy and pats will be tough.  raiders is capable o' beating any team in the nfl, but they is still a couple years away from being a complete team.  steelers with roethlisberger is a very good team.  looking at the remaining schedule, the bears game looks like one o' the few games the broncos should be confident about winning... particular w/o manning.    HA!
