2023-2024 NFL Season

What a game between the Ravens and Rams.

Took my 10 year old to his first game. We were wearing hunting rain gear with ponchos. Had a blast.

Is it just me, or are the refs really bad this year?

I am not sure if you are referring to the Chiefs game, but I am really annoyed with the whining from Reid and Mahomes. The offsides was clear. Blaming the refs for Toney having yet another brain fart is missing the point. To win a Super Bowl, precision is needed and the Chiefs have struggled all year with it. But asking the refs to ignore this is just silly. If a DE did the same thing they would want it called every time.

No, that was the right call.

I’m referring to the blatant missed block in the back on the punt return TD in the Ravens game. There were two missed holding calls on the CeeDee Lamb touchdown. The PI call on Darius Slay was highly suspect.

I think line play officiating has been widely inconsistent. I get you could call holding on every play, but guys like Watt, Parsons and Garrett are getting held at a much higher clip and it's just not getting called.

Never saw him check with the ref either. Seems pretty clear.

I couldn't agree more. It's pretty basis stuff for a WR to check with the line judge, who would've happily told him he needed to back up. No check, he's obligated to throw that flag. Pee wee and middle school football players are taught this.

Mahomes was acting really immature after the game, too. They had the right call here.

And it wasn't like his toe just a tad past the ball. His entire foot was in front of the ball. Good call by the refs. They nail defensive linemen all the time for the same thing.

I will say, I thought Mahomes and Reid did a decent job of not complaining after SNF at Lambeau. That DPI definitely should've been called, but the refs gifted them 15 yards on the bogus late hit on Mahomes, as well as stopped the clock when they had 0 timeouts left when the player's forward progress was clearly stopped before he went out. And you're never going to get DPI on a Hail Mary unless it's blatantly obvious, and that was well over Kelce's head, anyways.

Wouldn't have been a good look to complain about officiating in a game you never led in.

Yesterday was a bad look. Complaining about a legit flag when you're shaking hands with Josh Allen, throwing a tantrum on the sideline to an official who is just doing their job. I get the sense Mahomes is frustrated about a lot more than just officiating after that display.

Was he was caught doing a no no, or did he say something inappropriate?

he's too honest in his old age calling out shitty teams and shitty matchups on games hes covering i would say. Youd think the NFL aint keen on a guy telling audiences the product they are watching is a bag of piss

It doesn’t help that he’s just not very good anymore. Him and Herbstreit have no chemistry

They couldn't let him finish out the last month and a half of the season? Odd timing. Makes you wonder if it's more health related.

He gets paid $1M for the Prime games!

Looks like Bellicheat is out at the end of the season. The guy is a pretty decent coach, but you have to wonder if he would have the record he does if Bledsoe doesn't get hurt? Brady departing shows how important a QB is to a team. I would think the Panthers, Raiders and Chargers would all be interested.

Future Alabama football analyst surely!

Yeah, the breakdown of his win/loss record with and without Brady is pretty telling. Still a great coach but definitely helped by having an all-timer at QB who consistently took less money than he was worth, allowing for a better roster.

True. Didn't hurt that Brady pretty much always had an excellent defense backing him up.

Once Belichick started drafting….woof.

I don't know what unrealized yards are, but this is the first "how many bitches you got?" argument I've seen from the anti analytics side of the aisle.

Society has made so much progress but as oh so far yet to go.

Big corporations letting people go right before the holidays?

Impossible.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Chargers job could be open soon. Quite the display last night.

Dan Quinn? Harbaugh?

Sports teams and their hiring practices are a joke. Someone has 2 good years and they become a hot name. I don’t know what the percentage of it working is but it has to been no more than 30-40%.

Staley was DC of the Rams in 2020. He had one good year.

It's pretty simple. He worked under Vic Fangio and Sean McVay. It's who you know.

I’d hire Belichick but tell him the new GM is drafting using his scouts and Kellen Moore is staying as OC. Give the legend one last hurrah.
