  1. I think the point is, and correctly so, that to the letter of the law, there is a way you can look at that play and say that you can see why the umpire thought it a legit call. Doesn't mean it's the right call, doesn't mean it should have been called that way, doesn't mean that I wouldn't be super mad if that went against Green Bay instead of the Lions, but the take away is that all teams get robbed a few times a year on stuff that is very subjective.
  2. The issue I have, and always have, is that with almost ALL THINGS FOOTBALL, the NCAA gets it right, while the NFL manages to screw it up. The college review system has been better since day 1, and is unobtrusive and typically results in an accurate call being made. The college OT is better. The targeting rules are better. The NFL just can't get it right, while a different league has. They just need to swallow their pride on replay, scrap the garbage system that they have, and adopt the better system that already exists.
  3. I forget that the NFL makes referees available to the media pool after the game, which is honestly about the only thing the NFL does better than other leagues at anything regarding officiating. After hearing Clete Blakeman's insistance regarding the helmet-to-helmet penalty, I went and actually looked up the rule: There are two 'helmet-to-helmet rules; one for intentional, unimpeded contact to the head area, which is an ejectionable offense, and an 'unnecessary roughness' version where intent doesn't matter, it's just 'forceable contact to the head area'. The Detroit DB was called for the latter, which does seem to fit the letter of the rule. You can debate whether a DB going for the ball should be a mitigating circumstance, but that appears to only be part of the college rule, not the NFL. In short, I think that penalty was correctly interpreted, just IMO.
  4. Correct take. Most of these teams are so close to each other so winning is winning. We aren’t pretty and we have our holes but we’re 5-1. I’m sure the Lions locker room will appreciate the “sorry” letter they get from the league It’s funny that you think Al Riveron thinks his crew makes mistakes and actually apologizes I’m convinced he’ll only overturn the most blatant stuff, rules be damned.
  5. Went back and watched it, and it looks to me that the ball is at the goal line when the knee hit, which is a TD or impossible to reverse at the very least. The pylon cam shows he was down plenty early... well before the end zone. In fact no body part was in the end zone when he his knee was down and touched. I’d certainly take a look at that angle if you’re watching it someplace....
  6. Nope. The NFL owes me one more just for the fail mary game....
  7. Williams is smart as hell.
  8. Prater looks like he’s be good from 60 tonight, so you really need to bleed clock.
  9. Heck of a game for Lazard.
  10. Can not rely on a long FG... need to get 15 yards closer for me to feel ok with it.
  11. Went back and watched it, and it looks to me that the ball is at the goal line when the knee hit, which is a TD or impossible to reverse at the very least.
  12. Yeah. This has been a nice reminder of why I don’t watch MNF anymore unless Green Bay is playing.
  13. The Packers have what, a two score lead without the turnovers?
  14. Bounces not going your way = loss, usually. Weird game.
  15. My kingdom for someone who can return a freaking punt....
  16. What a difference a week makes. Two Jones mistakes equals a Williams end to the drive.
  17. I’d trade a 3rd for aj green right now.
  18. Big stop there. Only down two scores despite everything going wrong, and that feels like a little momentum may swing there.
  19. Worst start to a game this year, by far. And lots of people at fault.
  20. I always love it when the guy furthest away from the play makes a call that he couldn’t see, and there’s no way it can get overturned.
  21. Kevin King is having a terrible game, and we’re two drives in.
  22. I think your conclusion is right, even if I disagree with the previous stuff, which I still do. Chryst is only responsible for 2 losses to each of those teams, and only one of them was by more than 1 score (12 to PSU last year). I'm confident they'll be able to "hang with those big boys" just fine, but they will need to win against one of those teams to get to the playoff, this year or any other.
  23. Not sure you're remembering either completely accurately, as the Badgers were up 28-7 vs. PSU and held the lead going into the 4th quarter, and vs. OSU the Badgers had the ball at midfield with a chance to win it at the 1:09 mark. They should have beaten PSU, and they hung with OSU for literally 59 minutes. No flukes there.
  24. 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.
  25. It doesn’t work the way it used to with the Bowls. If Wisconsin is the runner up in the Big Ten and OSU is in the Rose, Wisconsin is likely back in the Cotton or Orange, assuming they only have 1-2 losses.
