    And I don't think there was replay. I believe they tested it for a year or maybe in the pre-season but they didn't have it. Otherwise I'm pretty sure Reggie's foot was out of bounds.
  2. homer
    Great to hear Jim and Max on this call.
  3. homer
    Had Shephard not showed up last night the Packers win by 10. Lions had four chances inside GB territory to go for it on 4th down and makeable yardage. They turtled and went for the FG. They deserved to lose on principle.

    Shrugging off a bad call is one thing. Pretending the call was good or justifying it with freeze frames is another. I advocate shrugging it off. The crying clock when a call goes the wrong way should last until about 7 a.m. the next morning. Personally, I find the "But they still had chances to win" schtick pretty tired. That's stuff coaches tell their teams because it's a healthier outlook to have. In spite of 58 second-half yards the Lions had that thing all but locked up. The Packers also threw a doink pick at the goal line. Had they lost like they should have I would have pointed to that and said they deserved it. But like I said, the Packers are 5-1 via gift, so I'm glad but I'll own that gift. And while we're shrugging stuff off, Jerry Rice's '98 fumble still ticks me off more than any other blown call. Those two calls last night didn't gift the Packers a win. They certainly helped but we have no idea how things would have turned out had they not been called. We do in the example of the Fail Mary and Matthews roughing call (and the Rice fumble).

    Or maybe just having 11 guys on defense on a field goal attempt.
  6. homer
    After the Fail Mary and Matthews roughing call against the Vikings literally cost the Packers two games, I really don't care if people call me a homer for shrugging off those bad calls. Karma, suckas.
  7. homer
    Right, but turnovers usually have a huge impact on game outcome. I'd be curious to know what one's odds of winning typically are when the TO diff is +3
  8. homer
    Lions are OK. Look like 8 or maybe 9 win team to me. Without the two Shephard miscues, GB probably wins by 10 at least. When you lose a game and win the turnover differential 3 - 0, you aren't good. Refs or no refs.
  9. homer
    Agreed. Not enough to overturn it.
  10. homer
    Also, maybe the booth didn't think he had total control of the ball until he was past the goal line. I dunno. At the end of the day, the Bears still suck.

    The Lions defender had his left hand on Lazarus bicep and his left arm was all over Lazards' back. Please rewatch.... a few frames before pylon cam for the touch and pylon cam (2nd frame) for the knee before goalline and ball well before goaline. The Pack was gifted that one. The biggest calls were those phantom hands in the face (or neck) calls. If you find a link to that play, please send. And doesn't the booth review every scoring play? Hey would ya look at that! He was down. Oh well....5 - 1.

    5 - 1 and still have better football in front of us
  14. homer
    If Lazard was down before the end zone it's possible there was no contact until he crossed the plane.
  15. homer
    never in doubt
  16. homer
    Uh, yeah. You could argue they'd have the lead had Jones not fumbled. Weren't they in FG range when he fumbled? Then the next play Sullivan was for some reason supposed to be playing over the top and they picked up 50 right away? Packers defense has been pretty damn impressive. They were about an inch away from stopping them short on that 4th and goal. I'm still not sure if he got in. They're in good shape. I'm hoping that MVS can come back or that they can hit Shepard on one of those double moves that he has set up so well a couple times this year. Yeah I feel pretty good. Took a punch in the mouth and came back strong. Offense is moving the ball well.

    4-11 against Ohio State since 2000- We just don't match up with them for the most part. We can push out scores all we want but we just don't beat them very often. Penn State has become much of the same. We've lost the last 4 to them and we are 5-8 since 2000. Two hurdles that the Badgers are going to need to get through if they want to have a shot at the 4-team tournament. I think everyone knows that OSU is simply a better program. Everything has to break right for UW to run the table - schedule and injuries being the two biggest factors. OSU can lose a starter and replace him with a 4 or 5-star recruit in most cases. UW doesn't have that luxury. I think UW will get the the Final Four at least once during Chryst's tenure...possibly more than that. But to expect it annually means setting yourself up for disappointment.

    Re: OSU Yes they are faster.
  20. homer
    Worth noting that the Badgers have only been "w'alked out of Indy" once in five trips there. The other four included two wins and two one possession losses. They've hung fairly well with the "big boys of college football" historically. The last two games against Penn St and Ohio St were closer in score than the actual game. At least that is what it felt like being there. The speed OSU and PSU had on the field didn't seem to compare to ours in those games. PSU threw a bunch of 50/50 jump balls and won each of them. They didn't run past UW.

    Two receivers on the Ron Dayne led 1996 team were drafted (Tony Simmons, Donald Hayes) and that was with Mike Samuel at QB. Simmons was drafted in the 2nd round and never had more than 29 catches in a season. Yes he had world-class speed. Cephus' biggest problem isn't the passing game. It's depth. He leads the team with 19 catches and there are four guys behind him with 15. They spread the ball all over the place.
  22. homer
    Sad?

    Anyone do daily fantasy football betting? Curious if you have any sites you use for research. I follow the Establish the Run guys on Twitter but their subscription site is pricey.
  24. homer
    About the only thing we haven't really seen is Coan throw the deep ball. But they haven't really had to. Very complete team without a real weakness (kicker maybe?). Reminds me of the Tolzien years - great D, very efficient O. I am confident they'll split with OSU if they end up playing twice.
  25. homer
    6 games, 4 shutouts. That's nuts.
